COMMUNICATION, GROWTH AND LEARNING

Gemini Season breezes in — the liminality, the in-between. Gemini is Mutable, adaptable in its approach to life, shifting its attention to whatever is in the here and now. Ruled by Mercury, it is inquisitive, communicative, and magical. The Twins remind us to be understanding and think outside the box. We intuit our surroundings and integrate the things we feel in our immediate environment. We understand that our ability to communicate is a gift. We prioritize fluidity and flexibility. We mend our hearts as much as our minds. We realize that we are allowed to change, which is one of our greatest powers.

WORK WITH GEMINI SEASON

1. Verbal Affirmations
It is time to put power in our voices. Use this season to not just think about but verbalize your affirmations, dreams, and desires. Spend 15 minutes every day speaking your dreams into the world and allow them to come to fruition.

2. Divinity in the Details
Pay attention to the magic around you, as it will reveal itself in the smallest of ways. Gemini is impressionable and sensitive to its surroundings, so by tuning in you will never miss a beat. Recognize how even the smallest things can be the most beautiful.

3. Reading Reflections
Wednesdays are the day of Mercury, which is connected to Gemini. Every Wednesday during Gemini Season, read a book, story, or article and share your thoughts with others. See the storyline from a new perspective, or even journal your thoughts in a Magic of I. journal.

4. Lean into Flexibility
Find ways to allow yourself to let go and go with the flow of the season. Understand that not everything has to be in your control. Find ways to relinquish the need to know everything and find space in your day to make different choices. Prioritize your adaptability.

Floating along with the breeze, I find my next adventure — open to whatever comes my way. I welcome the shifting moments with ease. There is always something new to learn and see as I gently move through my days.
