Hi everyone,
Here is your forecast for Gemini season which begins today:
Astrological Forecast
A new astrological season begins as the Sun moves into Gemini on May 20th, kickstarting a time of increased mental activity, curiosity and the need or desire to be more adaptable and flexible. As the sign of the Twins, stemming from the myth of Pollix and Castor, Gemini season brings energy that is all about duality, clear communication, and exchanging ideas.
The season begins with a supportive trine between the Sun in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius, which peaks on May 22nd. This creates an opportunity to delve into our thoughts, beliefs and perspectives with a sense of passion and intensity. This may involve research, analysing, in depth discussions and self reflections. This trine empowers us to go beyond the surface level and encourages us to uncover deeper truths and challenge our existing beliefs and biases.
Venus enters Gemini on May 23rd, which may bring new energy to social interactions, romantic relationships and creativity. We may feel more adaptable in our approach to these areas of life. We may be willing to listen, compromise and adapt with friends or with our partners. Things may take on a more intellectual feel…conversations may be deep and thought provoking rather than surface level gossip. There may also be a flirty quality in our interactions with others.
At the same time, Venus sextiles Neptune bringing a sense of imagination and idealism to these areas. We may see the best in people through rose tinted glasses so it is important to be realistic. While it is OK to dream and have an idea of our ideals, don’t let them take over to the point where disappointment is all we feel when those rose tinted glasses eventually fall off. Our imagination may be awakened and we are more likely to see the beauty in places and people around us. Combine these into new creative endeavours e.g. art, writing or music.
On May 25th, Jupiter enters Gemini. This is a long stay for the planet of expansion. The spotlight focuses on expanded our mental horizons, communication skills, and openness to other perspectives. We may find ourselves wanting to explore new subjects, engaging in lively debates or embracing a more versatile lifestyle. There may be a real thirst for learning and the ability to persuade others may be heightened. This transit is also one of openness to try new things. This may be a hobby, interest or even a new career. Don’t be surprised either if multitasking suddenly becomes second nature!
Mercury in Taurus sextiles Saturn in Pisces on May 28th. This will help to keep our communication grounded and sensible. It is likely that conversations will focus on tangible matters and that we will approach them with a a sense of practicality. Pisces may also allow a sense emotion into the mix but Saturn will help to ensure that these do not cloud judgement or progress. Saturn will also bring a focused and disciplined approach to the intellectual pursuits that are being undertaken.
On May 29th Mars conjunct Chiron in Aries. The combination of Mars’ assertive energy and Chiron’s healing energy can inspire us to approach our personal wounds or vulnerabilities with a new sense of courage and willpower. We may feel empowered to confront and work through difficult issues. We may be more inclined to talk about our needs and desires as well as showing ourselves a bit of compassion. We may feel inspired to take actions or bold steps towards personal growth and self-improvement. This placement can also encourage us to become more comfortable with our own vulnerabilities and those of others. This can bring an attitude of self-acceptance and a willingness to be more open about the challenges we face. This, in turn, can strengthen the relationships we have with those we trust most.
On May 31st, Mercury conjunct Uranus in Taurus. Mercury’s mental energies and Uranus’ innovative, unconventional energy can bring bursts of creative, outside-the-box thinking. We may find ourselves coming up with novel ideas, or solutions that challenge the norm. Others may not agree but that doesn’t mean we are wrong. Take the risk and show them you were right. This aspect can bring a heightened sense of curiosity and a desire for mental stimulation. We may want to explore new subjects, ponder abstract concepts or engage in lively discussions. We may be more inclined to speak our minds without the fear of a backlash. This is also an aspect of “aha” moments or bursts of inspired thought. However, beware of erratic thinking and communication. Remain grounded at this time.
On June 3rd, Gemini welcomes Mercury, its ruling planet. This heightens and intensifiies the general energy of the Season (communication, learning and adaptability). We must also be aware of the potential for a scattered mindset. It may be easier to fall victim to distractions. It is important to maintain focus and discipline to avoid becoming overwhelmed by too many mental stimuli or getting caught up in superficial pursuits.
The Sun conjunct Venus in Gemini on June 4th. We can expect an increased sense of charisma, charm and outward expressiveness towards others. Social interactions and self-expression may feel more vibrant and engaging. There may be an attraction to intellectually stimulating individuals and relationships. We may find ourselves drawn to conversations that are mentally engaging, witty and full of different perspectives. We may be more adaptable and versatile in our romantic and social connections and interactions.
On June 8th, Mercury in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces. This can create a tug-of-war between our desire for intellectual and social stimulation versus feelings of obligation or restriction. This aspect can bring difficulties in our social connections, romantic relationships and ability to express ourselves freely. We may feel limited or weighed down in our interactions, leading to potential misunderstandings or disconnection. Be careful and ensure that you express yourself clearly and without impulse. This aspect can also highlight the tension between our practical responsibilities and our emotional needs. We may struggle to find the right balance between logic/duty and intuition/sensitivity in our decision-making. Despite the challenges, this can provide an opportunity to develop more discipline, structure and responsibility.
Mars enters Taurus on June 9th. This brings deliberate, grounded and sensual qualities around how we assert ourselves and take action. We may find ourselves moving towards making steady, methodical progress rather than impulsive or hurried efforts. There is an increased emphasis on security, comfort and tangible pleasures.
However, on June 11th, Mars in Taurus forms a square aspect with Pluto in Aquarius. This can create some tension, as the slower, more stubborn Taurus energy may clash with Pluto’s desire for change and transformation. After all, Taurus digs its heals in when change is involved. We may need to be mindful of becoming overly possessive, resistant to change or excessively indulging in sensual comforts.
On June 12th, Mercury in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces. This can create some challenges and obstacles when it comes to clear communication, mental focus and decision-making. Difficulties expressing thoughts and ideas coherently may occur as the mind may feel clouded or bogged down. We may experience challenges staying organised and focused or feel limited or restricted in our ability to explore new concepts. There’s a lot of doubt and second-guessing surrounding this ascpet when it comes to making important decisions. Avoid overcommitting and focus on prioritising essential responsibilities. Aim to slow down the pace of your communication to ensure understanding.
As the season draws to a close, the Sun conjuncts Mercury on June 14th. This is the peak time for clear thinking and communication. There is enhanced mental focus and learning seems to be easier than its ever been! There is a strong sense of curiosity and a real desire to dig deep and find out new things. This is an ideal.time for making decisions based onnfact and logic without the clouding of the mind from overwhelming emotions. However, it’s important to be mindful that the Gemini tendency towards scattered attention or superficiality could also be heightened. Maintaining balance and ensuring we take the time to thoroughly process information will be key.
On June 17th, Mercury conjuncts Venus in Gemini. alignment on June 17th further enhances our social charm and creative expression. People may be more talkative, flirtatious, and intellectually curious. Lots of questions may be asked…just be careful to avoid being too inquisitive to the point where it annoys others. While curiosity is great…remember that it killed the cat! This might be a time where you also have a very busy social calendar. Just avoid wearing yourself thin by trying to attend absolutely everything you are invited to, especially those that cross over.
However, both planets together form a square with Neptune in Pisces on the same day. This can create some potential challenges or complexities. There may be a tendency towards confusion, illusion, or difficulty bringing abstract, imaginative, or spiritual ideas into reality. You must evaluate what is truly realistic and what is nothing more than a figment of imagination and dreams. Logic, and rational thinking could become clouded by emotional or fantasy-driven impulses. While it is important to listen to your intuition and emotions, maintain balance with logic and practicality. Also be aware of the blurred line between reality and deception when making decisions.
Finally, the Sun leaves Gemini on June 20th, bringing what is a very active, busy and fluctuating season to an end.
Full Moon
The Full Moon will take place on May 23rd. The May full moon is known as the Flower Moon, names because it appears at a time of year when flowers are beginning to bloom. It is a time of growth, fertility and creativity. With the Sun in Gemini, this Full Moon will take place in Sagittarius and will create a polarity between the expansive, freedom-seeking nature of Sagittarius and the more adaptable, communicative energy of Gemini. This can make the Sagittarius full moon a time of increased curiosity, philosophical contemplation, and a desire to broaden our horizons. However, the Sagittarius moon’s quest for independence and adventure can also create a restlessness, making it harder to sit still or focus for long periods. Themes of travel, higher education, religion/spirituality, and seeking meaning and purpose in life often come to the surface during this full moon.
