Happy birthday, Gemini!
You’re the sign of ideas, communication, movement, thinking, learning, and writing. You teach us the power of choice . . . and sometimes the chaos that comes with wanting all the choices — in every color and flavor. You are a restless sign. You need to explore your immediate surroundings. You also need a constant stream of information, from books and newspapers to the electronic buzz of texts and social media.
As one half of a polarity with the sign Sagittarius, Gemini is the ideas, thoughts, and words that form the ideology, philosophy, and books of Sagittarius. If Gemini is driving around town, then Sagittarius is the journey into foreign lands and unknown corners.
This Gemini season will be a little complicated. First, Mercury is almost done with its retrograde in Taurus. This means that we’re looking back this Gemini season, working through values as well as our karma around choice and the value of our choices.
Second, we begin the zodiac month with a powerful full moon right in alignment with Mars. Arriving tomorrow, Saturday, the full moon will highlight all the work we’ve been doing around our beliefs and world view. Mars Retrograde in Sagittarius has been a look at the times in our lives when we don’t have all the answers, when we’re actually wrong despite being convinced otherwise, when our judgements have limited our discernment as well as our choices.
More on this tomorrow.
