Surprises & Clarity Ahead—Your Guide to Gemini Season
The pace is quickening… thoughts are rapid… details are coming in fast and furious… there's a deep need to connect the dots, share the information, and generally get GOING!
There may also be a hint of mischievousness in the mix—a quick-witted retort, a playful joke, the spirit of youthful hijinks at any age!
On Wednesday, May 20, Gemini season sweeps in, shifting us from a desire to root, luxuriate, connect with nature, and let our toes sink into the sand. The slow, unhurried, and bull-headed time of Taurus has passed. It's time now for the speedy, airy, light, and heady vibes of Mercury-ruled Gemini.
Spring is quickening and nature is heating up. We may feel pulled into the swirl and twirl of our friendship networks, neighbors, and wider communities. This season brings us into conversation and the exchange of ideas.
With Uranus in the mix (also in Gemini and meeting up with the Sun on May 23), we may encounter surprises and unexpected turns of events, all accompanied by a fierce need for freedom!
Mercury—the planet of communication and intellect as well as the ruler of Gemini—will be in its home sign until June 1st, gracing us with mental clarity, stimulating our thinking, and bringing its powers to our daily routines.
Embracing the Energy
PROS: You may want to embrace this season's energy for innovation and creative problem-solving. In what areas of your life could a playful, experimental mindset spark unexpected solutions? How can you use this season’s mental clarity to reimagine your next steps with confidence?
CAUTIONS: At the same time, the season of The Twins can be overstimulating for some. If you find yourself swept up in mental loops or overwhelmed by your brain's activity, take a step back. Lean away from the details to take in a bigger-picture view. Land in your body and let it make some choices for you when decision fatigue feels stifling.
Transits and Moons
Mars squares Pluto on May 25 – Cool your jets! This transit brings the high-intensity planet of conflict into tension with the planet who loves to dredge up what's hidden in the depths and bring it into the light. Together, the transformation may feel especially profound—or potentially painful. Be cautious and discerning with your actions.
🌕 Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 31 – With the Sun in Gemini saying, "I think" and the Moon in Sag saying, "I know," we're asked to balance information for information's sake with blind faith in systems of knowledge or wisdom traditions. How might you integrate both energies for greatest inspiration?
🦄 Venus conjunct Jupiter on June 9 – The zodiac's two blessing-givers join together in Cancer, the sign of Jupiter's exaltation. This promises to be a fruitful, sweet, and care-infused day. Take some time to enjoy it!
🌑 New Moon in Gemini on June 14 – This fresh slate and start of a new cycle brings the twins' dual-powered energy and mental alacrity to any seeds and intentions you're ready to set.
As is obvious - Gemini season is a busy one! If you'd like to learn more about this month's transits and how they are relating to your chart, book a reading or ask a "burning question" here.
