Gemini Energy: Astrology for Career & Life Clarity
Learning about your personal astrology (through your birth chart) can be key to understanding your unique gifts, challenges and what life and work paths will ultimately bring you the most joy.
In addition, attuning to the energy of the astrological seasons provide both a spiritually-aligned focus for the month and invites more intuition, ease and flow into our day-to-day activities.
In this blog series I share more about the strengths and shadows of each zodiac sign, plus some activities to help you utilize the sign’s energy.
GEMINI
MAY 21 – JUNE 20
Symbol: The Twins / Element: Air / Mode: Mutable
Gemini is a mutable air sign and it's symbol is The Twins
Almost any astrologer or astrological resource will tell you the energy of this sign revolves around communication. But why? And what does this have to do with Twins?
Communication is how we interact with the world around us. We write or speak to express ourselves, we listen to obtain new information.
But it's not exactly that simple.
We don’t speak just to announce or assert ourselves, and we don’t listen simply to take orders or learn. The process is a dance - we listen, we process, we reflect, we respond, we refine, we share… and then we listen again.
Twins are not separate, but two offspring of the same creators, intricately entwined no matter how different their outward lives may be.
Gemini season asks us to observe the world and remember that we too, like the Twins, are all connected. One way we can remember this fact is through sharing our stories and listening to others share their own.
Strategies of Gemini:
Higher than average intelligence
Ability to socialize with many different types of people
Not afraid to change their mind
Studious
Strong connections to local communities and home
Youthful vitality
Curious and inquisitive, can be a great storyteller or journalist
Shadows of Gemini:
Avoiding hard truths and conversations
Argumentative
Overly busy mind (anxiety)
Tending to everything and nothing all at once
Gossip
Using their intelligence to trick or deceive, or tell manipulative white lies
Fear of commitment
Seemingly “split” personality
How to utilize the Gemini energy:
Seek new experiences, especially those that stimulate your mind. Read a book, listen to an interview, or take a course on a topic you haven’t studied before, or haven’t studied in awhile.
Get curious and ask questions of your teachers, mentors and even your friends. Learn something new about the people you surround yourself with on a regular basis.
Learn something new about yourself. Perhaps you finally pick up a pen and paper and start journaling - it’s a great way to have a conversation with yourself.
Allow yourself to change your mind. Not everything has to be serious and set in stone. Let the energy of this season remind you that you can change your mind about anything, at any time.
Explore your local scene. Gemini rules activity close to home, which is perfect right now since most of us aren’t traveling far! Take a drive, check out a new coffee shop or make a purchase from a local business.
Tell your story. Put words to the experiences you’ve had in this lifetime and share them with a greater audience. Gemini likes to talk, so bonus points if you actually use that voice of yours and speak your story out loud.
