Gemini makes quite an entrance on Sunday, May 20th.
The Sun enters the sign at 8:15a PDT, followed by the New Moon at 4:47p PDT. And if it’s not enough to have those two events happening on the same day, an Annular Solar Eclipse occurs at 6:24p PDT.
This trifecta of major events is an interesting event in itself.
But before we get into the details of the events, it is important to understand what Gemini is bringing to the table.
Gemini is an air sign. Being the first of the air signs in the natural Zodiac order, Gemini represents the beginning of mental and intellectual awareness. It is the perpetual student of the Zodiac, and is known to be very childlike in nature. It is an appropriate association, as children are absorbing information constantly, learning about the world and about whom they are in the world simultaneously. Because of its youthful exuberance for gathering and exchanging information, Gemini can often comes across as downright immature, but don’t let that immaturity fool you. Underneath that childlike “innocence” is a very cunning and intelligent mind.
It is very important to understand that from the Gemini point of view, any exchange of communication is primarily for gathering information. They aren’t trying to let you know about themselves (unless they have a large dose of Aries or Leo in their charts as well). Nope. It’s all about picking your brain and learning about what is going on around them. It is a very observant, objective and emotionally detached way of going about things. And it’s not personal. It’s not about you – it really is about them. It is about their learning and growing in their mental and intellectual self-awareness.
All of that being said, the Sun entering Gemini brings an end to the material and physical focus of Taurus, and a beginning to all of the ideas we come up with and information we assemble to either 1) use all of the stuff we’ve accumulated, or 2) obtain all that we now recognize that we want or need to accumulate. It is a time of gathering information and knowledge in order to make the most of the material and physical resources we have available to us.
The New Moon in Gemini brings a new emotional beginning regarding information and the communication of that information. Often, this is in the form of information coming to us rather than our giving information. In true Gemini fashion, any communications we give are most likely given in order to get other information from others more so now than at any other time of year.
And all of this comes on the same day there is a Annular Solar Eclipse in Gemini. Eclipses often bring forth major turning points in our lives, and major events or major life-altering decisions come out of the events that happen around eclipses. With Solar Eclipses, often things that have long been hidden come to Light. Things that have been appearing in one way are exposed as their reality as the eclipse lifts. The Truth comes out of the shadows, and it’s not a reflection or perception of the Truth – it’s the real Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth.
The funny thing about the Gemini dynamic is that what we are saying that we think is not important may actually very important or significant to those who are listening to us, and vice-versa. It is often said that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Well, in the case of this significant Gemini trifecta, ‘the revelation is in the ears of the recipient’. Everyone gets the information they need to hear to move forward in their life journeys. The question is…do we receive or reject the information – the Truth – we hear?
Do we embrace the information, knowledge, and Truth presented to us and learn from it to make life choices that empower and enliven us and move us forward…or do we choose to be in denial and fight the Truth being revealed to us, remaining stagnant or moving backward, losing our power and aliveness in the process?
With those questions on our minds, pay attention to the messages and information coming to you during this next few days. And as always with eclipses, remember that the effects of this period are sure to be felt for a long time to come. This isn’t a passing fancy or a phase to be taken lightly – the choices you make based on the information you get now are likely to have a major impact on your life and may affect you and your life for at least the next 4-6 months, if not the rest of your life.
It may seem a little heavy for a “child’s mind”, but our inner children are stronger than we often give them credit for being. Allow yourself to see and receive the revelations! See where they take you and your life from here and now. Enjoy the power and process of this Gemini trifecta.
Until next time…
