Gemini season is upon us, so prepare for the buzzing notifications and insatiable curiosity to take over.
On May 20, the sun will make its official debut in the savvy sign of Gemini. Every time the sun enters a new zodiac sign, it kicks off a brand-new astrological season, bringing forth a unique energy and cosmic vibration that essentially contributes to our personal development.
Gemini is a Mercury-ruled Air sign, and its celestial persona resembles that of its clever planetary ruler. Mercury is, after all, the fastest planet in our solar system, and the messenger planet’s swift speed reflects this Air Sign’s keen intellect and rapid-fire thoughts.
Mercury governs the mind, communication and one’s immediate environment in astrology, so in addition to your own Mercury sign, it’s important to consider the zodiac signs Mercury transits through when the sun is in Gemini for reference on what the season has in store.
This year, despite the slow-and-steady essence of Mercury in Taurus until June 3, the beginning of Gemini season will be far from monotonous, thanks to a curious array of energizing transits. Just hours after the full moon in Sagittarius on May 23, Venus will join the sun in Gemini, enhancing our desire for intellectual stimulation in our social and romantic interactions.
On May 25, Jupiter will enter Gemini for the first time in 12 years, bringing luck and expansion to the realms of communication and the astrological house (and area of life) that belongs to Gemini in your birth chart. This is followed by Mercury’s ingress into Gemini on June 3, which will likely speed things up in every sense of the word.
Just in time for the new moon in Gemini on June 6, this lunation offers a chance to set intentions for a new beginning. It is an excellent opportunity to initiate new projects, forge meaningful connections and embrace new perspectives. On June 9, the momentum shifts as Mars enters Taurus, grounding the energy while bringing our ideas down to earth.
Before Gemini season comes to a close, Mercury and Venus will slip into Cancer on June 17, redirecting the focus towards home, family and our innermost feelings. This celestial transition encourages us to nurture our connections and communicate with an open heart.
