Hello There Gemini Season

Look our world, it's Gemini season!

Long days and warm nights have finally arrived to the Northern Hemisphere. During the day we are called forth to enjoy the vibrancy around us - Bees buzzing, chirping baby birds and the scent of flowers on the breeze. And in the evening we are coaxed to our patios, balconies and even the occasional fire pit to enjoy the warm dark blanket the night has now become.

We are EMPOWERED by the Sun's approaching apex, we find ourselves waking earlier and stumbling into bed later.

Within the Cosmos, the Airy planet Mercury now Reigns. From May20th - June19th, the influence of Mercury calls us forth to embrace our powers of conscious thought, communication, collaboration, and swift action.

The full vibrancy of Spring + The approaching Solstice + the Mercurial qualities of communication and curiosity = an imaginative, flexible sign that knows how to stretch the limits of their existence and breath new life into ideas and possibilities.

Well Hello Gemini Season!

And Look out world!

Considered one of the most complicated and infamous signs of the Zodiac, the Gemini ability for expansion is one SUPER POWER we can each learn to wield in our quest towards manifesting our dreams into reality. So let's celebrate Gemini season by exploring how we can harness the power of Gemini energy regardless of whether Gemini is present in our own birth charts.

How To Align with the Energy of Gemini Season

Explore Polarity

It’s #StoryTime!

Gemini is represented by the Twins - Castor and Pollux. According to some mythology, though born as twins, Castor was the son of Tyndareus and Leda born a mortal; Pollux was the son of Zeus and Leda, born immortal.

In their story, after an encounter with their foes, Castor is murdered. Seeing the grief of his son, Zeus offers Pollux a choice to live out his life on Mt. Olympus OR give part of immortality to his brother.

Pollux chooses Castor.

The Twins are then enabled to alternate existing in the realms of Olympus and the Underworld(Hades).

THIS is the energy of Gemini - Polarity. The ability to exist as both an earthly spirit trapped in the dark Underworld and the bright Olympian.

To align with Gemini energy, explore your own polarity. Who are you as your darkest? Who are you at your brightest? And what tools can you use to SHIFT from one existence to the other?

Embrace The Shadow

The days grow longer as the Summer Solstice approaches, yet Gemini season always reminds me of the night. I think about warm summer evenings when we can comfortably be outside. Having bonfires, looking up to the stars, smelling the flowers on the breeze in the evening; both the brightness of the day but the increased aliveness through the night - again polarity.

This is one of the most misunderstood aspect of Gemini energy. Gemini are very aware of, and embrace, the darker aspects of themselves and our reality.

Often times The shadow represents our human desires and the aspects of ourselves that we wish to keep hidden.

To align not just with Gemini energy but with your full self, consider a bit of shadow work.

Shadow work can connect us with our full selves, unearth both limiting beliefs and our greatest superpowers, and grant us access to reaching our fullest potential.

Simple steps to begin are,

• Practice acknowledging aspects of yourself that you may keep hidden.

• Explore healthy ways to express emotions such as sadness, anger, jealousy etc.

• Allow yourself to explore your deepest desires without judgement.

Live in Full Color

As the sun approaches it’s Apex, Summer Solstice, it’s light reveals to us the full colorful spectrum of our reality.

Color itself is the way in which the spectrum of light interacts with matter. As we shine light on the different aspects of our consciousness, our own colors are revealed to us and others. For this reason - Gemini energy is all about not just embracing the fifty shades of our shadows but the millions of colors that exist in the world around us.

To harness Gemini energy, understand and embrace this truth:

The odds of you being born as you are in this moment of time is 1 in 400 trillion! There has never been another YOU before now,. You are a culmination of lifetimes of love, of tragedy, of laughter, of sorrow…You are stardust that carries the memories of lifetimes before you, the influence of those that you have never met. YOU being YOUR is why you are here. To explore, to grow, to expend your consciousness and thus expand the consciousness of our Universe by being the magic and the influence that only you can be.

Life is too short for anything other than a vibrant and color life. .Live in full color.

Set Yourself Free

Gemini has places to go, people to see, messages and ideas to deliver.

Ruled by the fastest moving planet in the solar system, Mercury, those of Gemini energy don't have time to get stuck in the opinions and expectations of others.

To align with Gemini energy, learn to set yourself free by giving less fucks.

This by know means is meant to inspire indifference to everyone and anything, but learning to consciously choose constructive and supportive aspects of our lives to pour our care in to..

Are you putting to much time, energy, or money into things which do not support your highest self?

Do you worry to often about what other people think or feel pressure to live up to their expectations?

These are all questions that can help you prioritize how many f'*cks to give to the different aspects of your life, FREEING up the time, energy, money, minnspace etc. for you to pursue what DOES feel aligned.

Do Something That Scares You

We have all seen the motivational poster that reads, "Growth happens outside of your comfort zone".

Well it's Gemini season! It is the time to get outside of that comfort zone!

Gemini is an Air sign - clear blue skies, the cosmos, imagination… it's an EXPANSIVE energy. For Gemini, the limits do not exist, Gemini already is aware of their ability to transcend to the Heavens.

Who doesn't need the occasional reminder of our ability to do transcend our current reality?!

To harness Gemini energy - do something that scares you! Make the call (Check out my smile journey on Instagram June 15th), get on a rollercoaster, book the trip,  go all in on that passion project!

Cross the T's, Dot the I's

Like fellow mutable signs within astrology - Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces - Gemini are motivated to complete the tasks of their season. In the case of Gemini - the work of Spring was initiated by Aries and then grounded into reality by Taurus.

Gemini season is the culmination of the Spring version of you - the thoughts, beliefs, and actions that you have cultivated are now being experienced. We are moving towards the half way mark of the calendar year, a quarter of our seasonal experience is coming to an end.  In Gemini season we are feeling both the blessings of our priorities and habits AND also becoming aware of the areas of our lives that need a bit more TLC.

Gemini is also ruled by Mercury, which is considered a Masculine planet. Masculine influences are action and methodically oriented where as Feminine influences are Intention and Intuitively oriented.

To get the most of your Gemini season, ask yourself

• What areas of your life need a bit more attention and care?

• What small actions can I take to really wrap up the expectations or goals I set for myself? (Then take those actions)

• What daily habits can I create to support what I want for myself in the future?

Get Social

Sun’s out, fun’s out! If you have ever met a Gemini, one thing is undeniable - Gemini's are SOCIAL. Gemini's have something to say and their quick wit allows them to make fast friends and connections.

Who can blame them? Gemini's ruling planet is named after the Roman messenger god Mercury (Hermes in Greek). And with this warmer weather of Gemini season, now is the time to get social!

To align with the energies of Gemini season - Plan a night out, a BBQ or sign up for a fun group activity! Or since Mercury also influences business, where can you network to create the collaborative support and opportunities?

Travel

If you were influenced by a planet named after a god who travels between worlds, wouldn't you feel the need to travel?

Going new places, seeing new things, experiencing moments that once existed only in your imagination? Traveling connects us to our own power to create change and transcend our current reality.

To align with Gemini energy, BOOK THAT TRIP DARLING!

Words of Caution

Gemini is one of the most misunderstood signs within the Zodiac. Due to the Polarity in their nature as well as their sign being Mutable, Gemini energy can be chaotic and easily influenced by more dominant signs in one's own chart or by people around them.

In addition, because they are more at peace with the darker aspects of their nature, when working with Gemini energy, be cautious to not be overly indulgent in serving only the self. A strong gratitude practice and  setting the intention or  seeking opportunities to be in service to others, is important for any sign, but especially with those working with Gemini Magics.
