Season of the Twins

Happy Birthday Gemini!

Many of the planets this month are focused in your Southern Hemisphere and House of Self, lighting up the sectors related to objectivity, social identity and personal expression. How we interpret the world. How the world sees us, how we are informed by the world around us.

With two impending eclipses, we should be asking ourselves what real transformation, real change looks like.

With Venus and Mercury in your home sign squaring Neptune in Pisces, it’s the ideal time to tend to your desires, emotional landscapes and rich inner worlds. Neptune has you tapped into a higher consciousness these upcoming months. Let your longing guide you but be mindful of any extreme departures from reality - they could end up deceiving you.

As a Gemini, you have a high intolerance for stagnation. For you, life is frenetic and rapidly morphing in real-time. Never one to shy away from a novel point of view, your perspectives are forever shifting like maps in the sand because you are constantly absorbing new information.

Gemini knows that contradiction is a virtue and change is the only real constancy.

People think Aquarius is the finger on the pulse of the social zeitgeist but actually, it’s more like Gemini.

Aquarius is the visionary but Gemini is for the people.

Gemini is on the ground day-to-day, taking in data, picking up signals and unpacking them, transforming them into bite-sized memes.

Gemini is kinky because it wants to see itself through everyone else’s eyes, to embody every perspective including its oppressors because it seeks intimacy with reality.

Gemini is a social agitator.

Navigating the socio-political terrain could prove challenging these upcoming months. Our bold assertions of will and identity may act in direct opposition to institutional power.

Our pain might seem hypervisible to the world and we could feel strong urges to voice our opinions on the shifting political landscape.

What we are fighting for, what we embody might feel too immense for the approval of our governments and social institutions.

Like Lucifer who was demonised for bringing light to what was hidden, taboo here can be another word for premature.

With Mercury retrograde just about to commence, you might struggle with taking concrete action. Be prepared for the usual miscommunications and misunderstandings that come with this transit. Have your wits about you. But this isn’t your first rodeo...

A better response would be to fully receive this as the opportunity it is. An opportunity to listen more deeply to the ancestral messengers of our body and wider patterns of our lives.

Mercury retrograde always demands of us a turning inward. And offers us a pertinent reminder: you are not your mind.

These transits are an opportunity to slow down to reflect and the sooner we are able to accept our fallibility and powerlessness to control our environment - whether in the thick disarray of our own lives, in the geopolitical catastrophes of anthropocene, or in the vaster chaos of the cosmos - the sooner we are able to unearth our true power.

I hope this month you can find the tenacity to find real rootedness in what is ~vast~

To build the crucible from which we will form the substrates of our new worlds.

I hope you can know that to truly act with potency is to move from our soft centre, our core, the ground of our being.

Our true power and potency is never solely individual, true power is interdependent, symbiotic and in harmony with all of life.

We are only as strong as our most vulnerable

Know when to fight and when to surrender.

The New Moon Solar Eclipse is exact on June 10 at 19° Gemini and is the last Gemini Eclipse until 2029.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

- Frank Herbert
