Gemini Season: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Gemini season lasts from May 21 to June 20 each year. Gemini season usually offers the chance to turn our energies outward again, after the reign of the Taurus season, and turn our focus to the social world. However, this may seem hard right now, given all that’s going on in the world, so take everything with a grain of salt, as this Gemini season may not be as social as the ones before it.
What is a zodiac’s season? Every 30 days or so, the Sun visits a new zodiac sign. During this “season” everyone feels the energy of this prevailing astrological energy, no matter what your Sun sign is.
As the Taurus season draws to a close, some of our biggest plans will have a solid structure. But now it’s time for the Gemini season to give us a push and seek out people who compliment ourselves, — a celestial reminder that there is no “I” in “team”.
Gemini is the first air sign of the zodiac year, and as an air sign, its energy is radiant and social, giving us the opportunity to forget the more solid and rational aspects of life. Gemini season gives us the opportunity to meet new people, exchange ideas, and figure out who we are (a complicated thing to figure out, and a large task I’m sure). But because Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and connection, this air sign energy can make us more chatty, outspoken, and sociable than usual. In the Gemini season, you might feel compelled to think out loud, sharing your ideas to connect with other people.
However, Gemini’s are not called two-faced for no reason. Albeit they are not two-faced in the unreliable, backstabbing, connotation, they are likely to change their mind and are prone to impulsivity. This means that their social energy can sometimes seem restless or unpredictable. It’s likely during this time that your attention will feel scattered and you may feel that it’s difficult to focus your attention on a single task. But that’s okay! Follow where the mind takes you. It’s okay to get distracted or get lost in your work, sometimes it leads you to incredible discoveries!
Let yourself be distracted by the world. During the Gemini season, interacting with the world can give you the fulfillment that you need, and you will benefit from this curiosity.
It may be hard to feel restless right now. Unfortunately, this restless energy that comes from the Gemini season can make us feel unsettled and impatient. This is attributed to the fact that the Gemini season signifies the end of spring, right before we reach the summer solstice. This sense of anxiety can make you feel uprooted, but try not to worry, as summer tends to bring the happiest of times.
In the Gemini season, it’s okay to embrace every and all parts of you. You don’t have to act just one way. All parts of you are equally authentic and real.
According to Oprah Magazine “The first three weeks of Gemini Season’s skies are astrologically breezy and abundant in cosmic help. But the last week of the season…not so much. Mid to late June, the skies are filled with challenging astrological setups that will call on our determination and best self-care strategies. Knowing this ahead of time can make all the difference. So you may want to use the last part of May and the first two weeks of June to get projects going and good work is done.”
