Welcome To Gemini Season
The power of the Sun shines our energy and focus onto Gemini season where our minds show us their power. After a very long and slow Taurus season, we really need this time for our mental planes to be activated. We need clarity, logic, ideas, inspiration! We've been so focused on DOING that we need to take a step back and take a look of the building we've started to create.
Normally Gemini season would have our minds working at lightening fast speeds. We would be way more observant as we pull the details of our environments and interactions into our brain where we could make sense, see patterns, and come up with solutions fairly quickly. But, because Mercury - Gemini’s ruler - is slowing down and preparing to retrograde, we won’t have the intellectual power we would normally have if Mercury would be direct through his time of power. Instead, we will be in review mode. We will be focusing on the past coming back up for reprocessing. We will be focused on reviewing old information under a new light. Once Mercury retrogrades (on the 29th) we will be in a weird state of time when our intuition will lead us to what our mental planes need to review.
Saturn will be retrograding prior to Mercury retrograding, and we can’t skip over the fact that Gemini season overlaps eclipse season. This is going to be a wild time where the lines between past, present, and future get blurred. There will be new information and details being revealed that will change our thinking completely, disrupt our plans for the future, but yet somehow put us on a path that will have us more in alignment with our soul’s purpose than ever before.
This is all well and good to have the power of the mind providing us with clarity and inspiration, but if you're not careful you can very easily switch to information overload and short circuit all together. It's up to us to balance the mind, body, and soul equation to make sure we are listening to each part of ourselves and asking what it needs. When the mind is overstimulated it causes anxiety and stress related issues throughout the body. Nervous or restless energy can become very dominate in Gemini season if the mental plane isn't monitored.
The Gemini energy, although brilliant, lacks a certain amount of compassion and empathy for others, and feelings tend to get hurt. For a sign that rules communication, they really could use a bit of work in the emotional deliverance of facts, just a tad bit better. Because Gemini's are so intellectual and very much stuck in their heads, they tend to be a bit detached and cold in the emotional department. This kind of energy can lead to conflicts that were never meant to upset anyone, so be mindful of the emotional tone you use when you speak. Mercury retrograding isn’t going to help us in this department. If anything it will complicate things further, confusing ourselves and others. Communication won’t be easy, so we really have to force ourselves to act as the observer, pause, reflect, and think about how we can handle situations in new ways.
You will see many options reveal themselves to you under the Gemini energy. Options are never a bad thing to have, except when you have too many of them and your indecisiveness leads you to anxiety. That is very possible under this energy as we tend to get carried away with the details. We see so many opportunities that we become overwhelmed and paralyzed with indecision. The options being presented may not even come to fruition as the eclipse energy removes our will and allows karma to deal out new hands. What we go into Gemini season with, may not even be a possibility by the time Gemini season ends.
We tend to lose sight of the bigger picture while in Gemini. It's a balance between focusing on the big picture of where it is you want to go, and then focusing in on the small details of how you're going to get here. This needs to be a dance instead of one extreme or the other. The Full Moon TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE in Sag will add fuel to this fire as we are seeing new truths emerge, new paths forward be revealed, and more energy and attention forced on the big picture in order for us to be able to break it down in manageable steps.
Gemini season favours connecting with your siblings and your local community. It loves to explore and observe both people and their environments. It also rules technology and mechanical things such as cars and anything with moving parts. All of these are very much connected to the inner workings of the mind. But because this Gemini season is littered with cosmic energy from the retrogrades and eclipse season, you may have to face these aspects with a different frame of mind. Old situations and arguments could arise adding tension in sibling relationships. Technology and mechanical things could breakdown and fail altogether in classic retrograde fashion. And the mind, will NOT be working as clearly as we’d like.
It's important to be mindful of your mental activity during this energy, and make sure you are using it for good instead of bad. Don't fixate on negative or bad aspects of what's going on around you, instead always think the best case scenario and the lesson behind the experience. Be sure to keep referring back to your big picture goals when you get lost in the details, and surround yourself with as much opportunity to learn as possible. The main lesson this Gemini season: Go with the flow! Open your mind! Engage with new possibilities!
