Gemini: I learn (Starry Sunday)
Hello, everyone! After feeling really lethargic, I decided to take a break from last week, hence the lack of posts. Iām back now, and ready to get right back to discussing my passion, which is pretty wild because the Sun entered Gemini a few days ago! Letās talk about it.Ā
Gemini is the third sign in the zodiac, preceded by earthy Taurus and succeeded by watery Cancer. Gemini is a mutable air sign. Its traditional catchphrase isĀ āI think,ā and represents Geminiās insatiable desire to think about things, be exposed to the new, and go quickly from one thing to the next. Think about Mercury, Geminiās planetary ruler, who is represented in Greek mythology by Hermes. Quick, active, never staying in one place too long, and thriving off of communication and thought. Thereās never a dull moment with Gemini.Ā
I like to think of Gemini, if weāre going to go through a personās metaphorical life journey, as a preschooler who has gotten the hang of speech. Questioning everything, learning new things, and making new friends. If Aries is a crying baby whose awareness is only of its body, and Taurus is enamored with new tastes, sensations, and objects, then Geminiās world expands to concepts and facts and knowledge about the items and world around it.Ā
Gemini also rules children and siblings. Again, think of this imagery of a young child excited to learn in primary school. Think also of the various activities in kindergarten, like making shapes out of colorful building blocks or learning the alphabet by singing a song. Fun and learning together? That is Gemini through and through. Gemini makes the novel, the intellectual, approachable and fun.Ā
Going back to Mercury, it is one of the two planets, Venus being the other, which rules two signs. As the ruler of Virgo, Mercury expresses its earthy side. Details, details, details! What is known? What is the plan for moving forward? How do we apply this knowledge to reality? Virgo is highly intelligent, but unlike Gemini, will apply its intelligence to an organized project, sticking it through to its satisfactory end. Gemini is not concerned with staying in place. Why dedicate valuable time to just one thing, when we could learn a lot about a bunch of different things?Ā
This leads us to the stereotypes of Gemini as flighty and two-faced. When mutability and air collide, we get a sign that is often considered flighty by narrow minds. Our present world is jaded, a world that is full of doubt that there is anything new to be discovered. Let us remember the times when we were young, or even those times now, when we feel like the world has expanded and there is so much wonder and light in the world. Sagittarius, Geminiās opposite, is about the beauty found in other cultures, in other parts of the world. Gemini can find the beauty in the personal world. It is why my personal quote for Gemini isĀ āI learn,ā for there is wonder to be found even in the mundane, in the present, in the here and now.Ā
