This week is all about Gemini, Gemini, Gemini!

Three of our heavenly, cosmological bodies are entering the sign Gemini this week with the first, our brightest Sun leading the way. We kick off the week with the start of Gemini season, a time when the Sun illuminates the archetype of the jester, the fool and jack of all trades/master of none. The most curious of them all (besides maybe Scorpio), the mutable air sign Gemini shows us how to use our active imaginations with free reign. Venus and Jupiter both ingress into Gemini this week as well, but before they do they make intimate contact within the last degree of Taurus, pushing for sweet relief and an abundance of tenderness and beauty. Venus in Gemini is a flighty lover, distracted with the next shiny object, but what she does focus her attention on is a good conversation and some fun banter.

The first decan of Gemini is associated with the 8 of Swords. The 8, 9 and 10 of Swords are some of the more dramatic looking cards of the minor arcana in the tarot and that is due to the nature of the swords suit which is connected to the mind. The mind plays many tricks and through Gemini, we get to know intimately just how conniving and cunning the mind can be in curating our perceived reality. This week we travel through the 8 of Swords which will illuminate for us where we have a tendency to get ourselves stuck mentally.

Jupiter travels through each sign for about a year and will be in Gemini until about June 10th 2025. While Jupiter is in Gemini we will be sure to see even more information and technology reach new heights in social media, affecting how we interact with one another on a daily basis.

The Moon moves into her fullness in Sagittarius this week on the 23rd while Venus, Jupiter and Neptune make contact. This energy is potent for heart opening conversations, sympathy and empathy. The opportunity to become more aware of the communities which we do not share commonalities with is also very high and the doorway of the world is opened to all around the globe. Sagittarius, the great teacher/guru, pushes our mere mortal consciousness to new heights and territories with real life, worldly experiences. This is going to be an exciting week with expansive qualities! Get ready to free your mind into new dimensions.

Monday 20th

Let’s go down the rabbit hole and see where we end up, today is the first day of Gemini season, one of the most chaotic-fun seasons of the year. The Moon enters Scorpio today as well and that’s what makes us want to investigate nonstop every new idea, theory, concept, factoid that comes within ear shot. Soak up all the tea! There is going to be a lot of chatter going around while we are deep diving into figuring out the truth.

Tuesday 21st

A strong urge to reveal information or let some internal dialogue go rogue, the Moon in Scorpio is opposite Mercury which invigorates the mind in its never ending quest to know. There is an insatiable desire for more information, that leads to understanding and empathy. While the Moon is in opposition to Mercury, it is a great time to evaluate what you know vs what you think you know and understand the difference between the two.

Moon opposite Mercury.

Wednesday 22nd

A big opportunity to grow and expand beyond any limitations shows itself through the Sun’s aspect with Pluto. The Sun – which is the egoic self, the creative expression of the soul, makes a trine to Pluto which elicits a mini rebirth through the acts of personal experimentation. There is something that wants to be let go of and settled into the past, what will it be?

Thursday 23rd

There is a lot of energy flying around today with The Full Moon in Sagittarius and Venus making contact to Jupiter and Neptune before entering airy Gemini. The Venusian spin on Jupiter and Uranus’ broadcast lightens the mood to fit an unexpected narrative about the power of love and fairness. Topics of financial equity amongst all people come to the surface and there may be some really powerful new avenues for discussion that allow the collective to consider new ways of relating to the material earth plane. Jupiter sextile Neptune is another potent astrological aspect which opens up the heart space of humanity.

Friday 24th

Today we come down from the action packed day of the Full Moon, and meet with our responsibilities head on. Moon square Saturn forces us to admit where we are feeling limited/met with limiting forces that are necessary for us to develop our resilience. This is a great day to learn and understand what it is that Saturn is trying to teach through the external blocks that might come our way today.

Saturday 25th

Jupiter enters Gemini! The mightiest and brightest of the planets moves into Gemini, highlighting the divine mind and all of its quarks, traits and misconceptions. The desire to connect, explore and chat it up with everyone around will be the basic MO for the next year! The Moon square Neptune is like an uncomfortable dream that repeats itself and makes you think that you are still dreaming when in reality you woke up hours ago. Venus trine Pluto will make any craving and desire go deep which is impossible to ignore. Deep love/romance energy today.

Moon square Neptune, Moon > Capricorn at 8:35 am. Venus trine Pluto rx. Jupiter > Gemini.

Sunday 26th

This is one of those days where anger and aggression are energies best used when being directed against mismanagement of power and authority. Moon in Capricorn square Mars in Aries pushes the will of the individual up against the emotional security of the authority/boss/manager/one in charge. The passion that arises is not to be ignored! Use this energy wisely and put it to something productive which can elicit change within your community.
