GEMINI SEASON: Embrace the magic of change and curiosity

This is one very big and important Gemini Season, especially for those of you with Gemini in your natal chart or any of the mutable signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces. I will be writing much more about this, but Jupiter, our planet of expansion, opportunity, growth, hope, and faith, moves out of earthy Taurus, where it has been for a year, and into Gemini. This happens in Australia on the 26th and will mark this Gemini season with buoyancy. Jupiter expands everything it touches, so along with Jupiter in Gemini, where it will be for a year, this particular Gemini Season is energetically a bit like Gemini energy on steroids. Change is in the air, and we are beginning a wider shift of the outer planets moving into Air signs.

Personally, we have welcomed the birth of Twins into the family. My beautiful stepdaughter gave birth to a boy and girl, and our family has expanded in the most wonderful of ways. My Gemini Husband is busting with Cancerian Moon love and my Leo moon is exploding with Joy. This is a lovely example of what  Jupiter can bring when moving into a natal 4th house, which is happening for me right now.

The Sun moves out of earthy Taurus and into our mercurial, changeable, curious sign of Gemini on the 21st of May. We may not feel the initial rush of Gemini energy, as for the first few days, we still have a lot of activity in Taurus. But after the Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 23rd, Venus moves into Gemini, quickly followed by Jupiter on the 26th. This is when we will start to really feel the buzz in the air, our mental agility turn up a notch, and our need to satiate our curiosities become more apparent. There is much to say about Jupiter’s ingress into Gemini, and there will be a separate post on this. Suffice it to say, when we think of all that is represented by Gemini, it is all about growth via learning and sharing ideas, multi-tasking, stimulating one's mind, and feeling alive mentally and physically. With Jupiter added into the mix, this is abundant energy increasing our thirst for knowledge, our need to get our facts straight, an expansion of our thinking, and, of course, a possible explosion in the use of mercurial technologies such as AI. Jupiter will throw open the doorways we may have had closed while it was in Taurus, allowing us to explore new ideas, stretch our minds, engage in conversation, expand our communication style, learn new languages, and possibly even share discussions where divergent perspectives are honoured and listened to.

Prior to the move of Jupiter into Gemini, the Full Moon will be in Sagittarius on the 23rd. More will be written about this too, but given that Jupiter rules Sagittarius, this Full Moon might be laying some groundwork for what is to come. This Full Moon will illuminate the need to expand our beliefs, broaden our horizons, and combine curiosity with meaning. The day after our Full Moon and a day before Jupiter moves into Gemini, Venus also moves into the sign, beginning what is going to be quite a lineup of planets in this sign. Venus adds a dimension of appreciation and value to what ignites our curiosity. Our need to share our ideas and connect intellectually with our loved ones is heightened now. For a few days, Venus is also in close proximity to Jupiter, which expands this energy even more. Once Jupiter moves into Gemini, it will make a trine to Pluto in Aquarius, which is bound to spark innovation, thinking, and expansive communication. This is a perfect time for brainstorming, bringing life to new ideas, and finding unconventional ways of perceiving the world around us.

Networking is also the natural domain of Gemini energy, and when Mercury moves into his home sign of Gemini on June 3rd, the Gemini energy will be hosting the Sun, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury, who are all networking together in a combined energy to bring a very interesting period of intellectual stimulation, desires for connection, communicating and sharing ideas, and networking. If there was ever a time to bring new ideas to your community, launch new technology, communicate new messages, or connect with others, the period around the first week of June is energetically set up to enable all of this to happen. This is also an excellent time to get out and meet new and exciting people and share ideas. This period may lead to better discussions, as we are more likely to see both sides of a story. Gemini is dualistic, so this is an excellent period if you need to understand something from someone else's perspective. Attempt to actively listen to what others are saying to understand their perspective, enabling you to expand your awareness.

Given that Gemini energy is about communication, this is also a good time to literally 'find your voice' to express your inner thoughts and perhaps convey ideas you have thus far not expressed. What I love most about Gemini is its Peter Pan quality, the forever child who loves to play, be the trickster, and make a joke about anything. They usually love children and young people and are generally young at heart throughout their lives, laughing and being lighter in spirit. Use this time to lighten up, play a little more, see the funny side of life, and learn not to take things so seriously.

We take it up another notch when we have a New Moon in Gemini on the 9th, adding another gust of wind into the Gemini sails. Some of us may not respond well to this strong air energy. So much air can frazzle some nervous systems, and it is therefore important to stay grounded, which may become more possible when Mars moves into Taurus, adding weight to the end of that kite. During the New Moon period, it is also worth being aware of some of the shadow sides of Gemini energy, including the propensity to scatter our energy, being overly distracted, inattentive, superficial, or highly strung. Enjoy the energy to get your mental work done, write that piece you have meant to write, say and communicate those messages, but remember to take time out to do something grounding, and make an effort not to be too much in the head. The heart and soul will need taking care of too.

The buzzy energy may dissipate when Venus and Mercury move out of Gemini on the 17th and into watery, more emotional Cancer. This is the time when we are more able to connect with our emotional needs and not just satiate our intellect. The shift of these two will open opportunities for more self-nurturing and the ability to nurture others, to have more empathy for those we are in constant communication with, and to allow ourselves to rest. When the Sun moves into Cancer on the 21st, we may feel a little respite from the crazy, buzzy, but exciting Gemini season and take some time to go within and emotionally digest all we have had going on in our heads.

This season marks quite a shift, especially for the mutable signs, so I invite you to explore how a professional astrology session with me can help you best ride this huge wave of possibilities from Jupiter’s move through Gemini. We can uncover how it can bring opportunity into your life, and how you can best harness this once-in-a-12-year energy to help you navigate life with greater clarity and confidence. Together, either in person or online, we will explore the ways in which you can understand yourself more deeply, align with your true path, and bring a richer, more meaningful perspective into your world.
