Chaotic Communication & Deep Soul Digging

Easy does it, Gemini, it's your time to shine. The spotlight is on you during this birthday season. Just the way you like it.

Gemini season begins May 20th, filling you with confidence and a lust for life. Spring is your season, and there's no doubt as to why. Gemini waits all year for everyone to come out of winter hibernation. This year more than ever, chatty and expressive Geminis were hit hard by months of isolation and distance.

After the earthy and grounded energy swung in by Taurus which allowed us to collect our thoughts, it's time for the Gemini's social butterfly vibes to come into play. You're restless and ready, with a natural curiosity and desire to engage with the whole world.

Lucky for you, this year your month falls right into place with vaccinations around the world. Now more than ever is the perfect time to find a partner and make moves. Expect more communication as people emerge and begin to socialize. Don't be surprised if old friends reach out for the first time in months.

On that note, don't be afraid to take harsher stances on boundaries, Gemini. It's easy to get excited about a more open and social time, be careful who you let in. Saturn retrograde begins on May 23rd and may have you rethinking commitments. It's a time for thinking deeply about the future and assessing what energy you want to let into your life. Don't overbook yourself with brunches and girls' nights just yet, as much as you may want to. Pencil in a few nights alone to recharge and remember, it's okay to be alone sometimes.

Mercury goes into retrograde for the second time this year on the 29th of May, and it's ruled by Gemini. This can be an emotional time and one that allows us to live more in the past. Be on the lookout for painful memories, family trauma, or fluctuating moods. This is a time to analyze your feelings and understand life lessons. Mercury likes to resurface anything you need to rectify in your life. Use this to your advantage.

A good rule of thumb with any retrograde motion is to reexamine, redo, and reflect. This means slowing down, Gemini (even if all you want to do is rage ahead). While this retrograde is ruled by your very own sign and may hit you harder, everyone else will feel the effects too. Don't worry if it's hard to get your point across these next few weeks. Everything will clear up eventually.

During Gemini season, relationships act as mirrors. Good or bad, use this time to figure out exactly what you want out of the people around you. As friends start reaching out again for safe hangs, let yourself really examine how you feel when they're around.

Be warned: A lunar eclipse in Sagittarius on May 26 brings change. Maybe you leave a relationship. Maybe someone new enters your life. An old friend might reappear. Spend this day with someone you really connect with. See what happens.

Like the cosmic wildcard that you are, Gemini, there's a solar eclipse in your sign on June 10th. They can bring unexpected news, anything from a breakup to a change in careers. Most people would lay low, but this is your time. You know you live on excitement and thrive on drama. Get dirty, and spin whatever happens to your advantage.

You got this, Gem.

What to keep in mind:

• Embrace your curiosity: Satiate your thirst for knowledge by digging into something emotional and investigative. Try American Murder: The Family Next Door for something new that will satisfy your true-crime heart, or check out a recent TED talk to learn something new.
• Double-check your spell check: Retrograde has a way of messing with communication, and we all know how excited you get making plans, Gemini. Make sure any important correspondence is being given a once-over proofread, and that plans are set in stone. The universe is working against you here, so be prepared.
• Balance is key: As much as you want a strong social life, remember that you're only human. You may feel like you've had all the alone time in the world, but you'll still need your time to rest. Enter the new world with caution, Gemini, nothing is the same as it was before.
• Find a connection: The strong duo energy of Gemini calls for a partner in crime, be that a lover or a best friend. This spring gives way to new adventures and there's nothing better than someone to share them with. The most important thing is finding someone who "gets it" (re: gets you). Be sure to share your point of view, be direct, and choose wisely.
