Twinning

Gemini, the sign of the twins. Duality. Light and Shadow. You've always felt pulled in different directions on everything. Every choice you've had to make. Commitment is difficult for you because of all the possibilities and unknowns that you have to consider and follow in your mind to their potential conclusions. The roads not taken tempt and torment you. You want to do everything and nothing all at once.

Things in conflicting pairs will become more noticeable as the year progresses. You might find a penny on the ground, then another shortly after. Observe them as you choose to either leave them or pick them up, and it's likely one will be heads, the other: tails. A view of a black cat might be followed by that of a white dog. You will start correlating seemingly independent events because you're sensitive to the duality of the universe. Other people might think you're reading into things too much, but they just lack your unique perception.

You understand that there are two sides to everything. Right and wrong. Good and bad. Black and white. Granted, things do not have to be opposites to be divergent, but you will begin noticing more extreme deviations in the behavior and views of those around you. What you thought you knew about your friends and family will start to unravel as you notice behaviors that are suddenly very different from those you remembered. Didn't your mother hate avocados? Suddenly, she's asking for an extra side of guacamole. That friend who always listened to you... will not let you get a word in edgewise. Your significant other who had a crippling fear of heights now makes you queasy with the way they taunt gravity from high spaces, though you previously had no such shared fear.

You crave companionship. One is the loneliest number after all, even more so for a Gemini. Without another, you feel incomplete. Maybe you are incomplete. Maybe you've felt it: there's another "you" out there. Perhaps there's another "everyone" out there. You've always tried to avoid choosing sides because you don't want to alienate yourself, but for the sake of your sanity and sense of self, now is the time to define who you are. Pay attention to the little things and choose wisely. Do you know yourself and those around you as well as you thought?

Things will feel familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, leaving you in a malaise. Incidents of Deja Vu may also increase. You will have to ask yourself: Am I actually repeating what I just did or said? Was it just in my head and I thought so hard about doing or saying it that it only seems like I did? On a deeper level you might wonder did another "you" do it and you're just experiencing ripples of their memory bleeding into your consciousness? Are you yourself and overthinking things, and not merely the memory of yourself? Are we all just dreams?

It's not easy being both indecisive and impulsive at the same time. If you didn't have those impulses, perhaps nothing would be accomplished. If you weren't indecisive, you might not look before you leap. Traits that are simultaneously a cruel joke and a system of checks and balances. Your curiosity and adaptability will have to be enough to see you through the times ahead and bring you clarity and sense of self.

Gemini, take an introspective journey and ask yourself where your dual nature comes from. Choose to live in the now and commit to your truth, before you are consumed by indecision and regrets about the "you" that might have been (or already is). If you don't, every time you pass a mirror, you'll question who that is in the reflection.
