Gemini –Brothers & Butterflies & Mercury with Wings On His Feet
The Sun has entered the light of Gemini – the twins, the two brothers, sign of duality and interplay. “Let instability do its work,” is the keynote on the personality building level of Gemini. These words refer to daily life on earth with its constant vicissitudes, confusions, disharmonies and instabilities. Gemini tells us they have purpose – they spur us to seek comfort, ease, balance and harmony.
Gemini (sign, person, month), is playful, curious, humorous and fun, the “tricksters” of the zodiac. Moving one way, then another, then disappearing without notice, Gemini signifies duality. Gemini always appears as “two” – two ways, two paths, two lights, two directions, etc. When we have two of something we then have choice. Humanity was created with the free will to choose.
Gemini is the butterfly, “the light of interplay, a line of light beams,” revealing all that opposes in our world – basic duality in form and matter. Duality is a relationship of two things seemingly opposed to each other, like Spirit and matter, the original duality. However, the two are one and that is the mystery of Gemini.
Two minds, two columns (Masonic columns), two hands, two brothers/sisters, etc., each offering two realities. Gemini points out the relationship between them. Pondering these words, we begin to understand Gemini people. We see them accomplishing their spiritual task (job). Notice we especially experience duality during the month of Gemini. Mercury just entered Gemini this past week. Notice everyone begins to talk more, to chatter and to gossip. Disciples never gossip.
The major sign of relatedness, Gemini must connect two seemingly unrelated ideas, realities, people, events. Often Gemini will introduce two people and disappear, their work of relating things complete. Geminis step out of the picture and into their next task of relating things.
Gemini flows through and works with Mercury, gathering information to distribute, share and create new awareness in humanity. Gemini and Mercury build the Rainbow Bridge. Sometimes Mercury offers too much information. Then Venus (Gemini Soul ruler) steps in. Venus balances, synthesizes, unifies and eases us into new realities with grace and beauty. Our God is from Venus. Bees, wheat, corn and ants (communities) are also from Venus. Venus is Earth’s elder sister.
Look for feathers in the wild, from the wings of Mercury. Mercury, working tirelessly with Gemini, has wings on his feet.
ARIES: As you acquire multiple new abilities, it’s important to learn to share a few. Sharing is new to you. You research the causes of things. Some call this studying conspiracy theories. But actually, those theories often end up to be true. You’re more energetic, active, forceful and even, at times, overly assertive (shocking!). Rarely are you this way. It’s six planets, including Mars (the 9 tests) in Aries playing havoc in your life. Forge forward, Aries. You initiate and thus create new fields of endeavor. Then Taurus steps in and anchors them.
TAURUS: You are becoming more like a Pisces these days. Meaning? More sensitive, more in tune, reluctant to push the river, a sense of other worldliness, a bit forgetfulness, a bit of disorder, seeing other worlds and walking a different path. You’re working more in secret and can be blamed for things you didn’t do. You sense and intuit the past is merging with the present. For a while everything becomes more private. Dreams (day and night) appear, imagination is sparked, creativity comes alive. Music (more of it) is needed.
GEMINI: It’s most important to ponder upon the word “cooperation” and consider how you interact with, work with and impact those around you. Are you able to cooperate with others? With new and emerging thoughts and ideas, you may be inclined to seek others to work with and co-create with them the new culture and civilization. In the new times to come cooperation is needed, working in teams towards a group goal. On a personal level, create daily agendas, schedules and plans. They become your future’s purpose, context and protection.
CANCER: You’re the leader, the voice everyone hears, the one everyone looks to, hopes to become, learns from, seeks, dreams of, is nourished by and emulates. Your accomplishments are recognized. This pleases you. I have written before that for each sign to evolve adequately, others must see, recognize and praise their efforts, gifts and abilities. Praise is how we more fully identify ourselves as valuable and creative. Say, “I am creative and I recognize this in my life.” A sense of new awareness and gratitude follow.
LEO: A hunger for expansion, for newness, adventure, a restlessness that won’t accept no for an answer, all these engulf your mind and present you with new ideas and a level of impatience Your life actually does need expansion, new studies, new people, new experiences. All this energy propels you into travel, new interests, new books, opinions leading to disagreements, arguments and discourses. Stay away from gambling, speculation and things illegal. Read the magazine Travel and Leisure. It is a most interesting study.
VIRGO: Careful with projecting anger and/or suppressed passion (from long ago to present) toward others, especially ones close to you. You may be unaware of this. Be aware of issues concerning joint money and resources, conflicts and crises concerning differently learned values. Careful with communication. You may suffer from others’ misunderstandings and/or harshness. Or your own. Home is where all transformations take place. Guard yourself and loved ones, carefully. Attend church or temple. Pray.
LIBRA: Everything may feel personally challenging. A great wave of change is washing over you. Let’s understand about conflict. Any conflict experienced means harmony, in shadow form, is hidden within the conflict, harmony, a seed of light, seeking to emerge. Libras are ruled by a star in the Big Dipper called Ray 3 which gives them great intelligence and balance, beauty and harmony. Know these things about yourself. Seeking harmony is Libra’s divine task. Relationships are the training grounds for that harmony to come forth.
SCORPIO: It’s possible you feel restricted with Saturn in Aries. At first it can feel like obstacles are a way of life. Saturn, however, is the new Teacher. He informs us of disciplines, new rituals and rhythms. He teaches us restraint, right timing, right direction and right thinking. Saturn teaches us to take care of ourselves with right priorities. Don’t dispute anything (mostly yourself). Recite silent Ohms and laugh more. “Laughter is a meditation,” says Alan Watts. Watch this video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ3wWisRtTA
SAGITTARIUS: You also would appreciate the Alan Watts laughter video I posted above for Scorpio. Sag’s love to laugh. Laughing dispels any sense of doom or overwhelm we may be feeling. With Pluto in Aquarius, the depth of responsibility for creating the new culture can overwhelm. Laughter helps. Tend to loved ones, especially your partner (first). The result will be more play, pleasure and sleep. Do you need new items in your home? New pathways, a gate or bridge over water? Gaze at Monet’s Water Lilies painting.
CAPRICORN: Are you feeling the need for protection and for security? Be clear, ordered and organized and shield your finances and resources. Keep track of monies coming in and going out. It’s possible you could feel lost or confused around money. Unexpected events and outlays of money continue to occur. Remain hopeful, aware and alert. Continue to tell friends and family of your needs. If issues from the past emerge, talk with someone about them. The past appears in order to understand it more deeply.
AQUARIUS: Work slowly each day on physical tasks. Order and organize all environments. Create greater efficiency. Ponder upon real wants and needs. Soon ideas from the Mind of God come forth. Communicate with more compassion and loving kindness. This is Mercury in Gemini. Mars on the other hand provides new self-awareness and values. You will want to create a foundation. Tend to hands and feet. Sew, draw and paint. Use your heart to make order. A new path appears.
PISCES: The month ahead sees you working towards and within your sense of values. If you don’t actually know your values, then observe yourself – thoughts, ideas, actions, communications. Note you’re slower than usual, focusing and caring for what you love (and value) with extra care. You see your ambition, the acquiring of possessions, your impatience and impulsiveness. Your senses are more alive. You’re taking on the sturdy and consistent virtues, values and needs of Taurus. Comforting for Pisces
