First of all, it’s Gemini season. It’s yapping season! The time of year when our buzzing curiosities take center stage. Mutability reigns supreme. In my mind the most amorphous mutable sign is Pisces, but Gemini is a close second because let’s be honest, if Pisces is the ethereal flitting fairy, then Gemini is the ethereal flitting fairy in glasses with a clipboard full of notes.
Gemini wants answers, but it also wants questions and every notable bullet point of information in between. This season is a great time for asking questions. When writing anything we begin with questions. Whether the work is born of questions you are burning to answer, or it finds questions to leave the reader with along the way, every thought-provoking piece has them.
All signs are crucial to storytelling, but only one is known as “the storyteller”. Gemini’s superior ability to perceive combined with its curiosity make Gemini season a time for writers of all mediums to watch out for and work with and this Gemini season in particular is one with some extra optimism and abundance sprinkled throughout.
On May 25th, mere days after the Sun enters Gemini, Jupiter jauntily steps into the mix. After its gorgeous year on Taurus focusing on slow, steady growth, it is ready to start moving again. We love Jupiter in Taurus because Taurus belongs to Venus. Jupiter + Venus = the sweet, lucky planets known as the benefics. Generally, it’s nice when these two cross paths in any capacity, though we do run the risk of a too much of a good thing type situation.
Now, you’re going to hear astrologers say things about Jupiter having trouble in Gemini. These things have merit, these things are true. I want you, as a writer, to ignore them.
The issue is Jupiter’s preferred movement is a stretch, or a soak. Its favorite things to do require boundlessness. In Gemini Jupiter feels like a ping pong ball when it wants to be a hot air balloon.
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet who loves a detail. Both Virgo and Gemini are Mercury ruled signs who are on a mission to put the pieces together. Jupiter is unconcerned with any of that. Jupiter wants to go big, be big, think big. It wants to philosophize. It operates on faith, not logic. That, dear readers and writer friends, is your takeaway. We are being asked to bring this buoyancy to our communication.
Have faith (Jupiter) in your communication (Gemini). Go big (Jupiter) with your storytelling (Gemini). Bring optimism (Jupiter) to your curiosity (Gemini).
Will Jupiter feel a little frustrated in Gemini? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean it won’t bring its bag of presents to this area of our charts.
Sagitarrius!
