It's Gemini time so lets get rolling. They are so very playful and fun. Their mission is to soar like the dove and have a great time doing it. Gemini's ruler being Mercury, are like quick silver. Their need for communication is awesome. We leave the heaviness of Taurus and fly into the happy- go-lucky sign of Gemini.

Not all Gemini's are foot loose and fancy free, but for the most part they have dancing eyes and a grin on their face. They are considered the trickster and love telling jokes. Play is necessary for them to survive in this world. They can seem childish at times. One Gemini friend told me she never plans on growing up. A typical remark for a Gemini.

They are often called the sign of the twins. So we not only have to deal with one child, we have to deal with two. They are so logical it scares others at times as they can reach a conclusion to a problem in an instant with clarity and confidence. The Gemini mind does have the ability to understand relationships to all things and thus produce ideas that are quite original. They are in love with words whether on the written page or the spoken word. They love to agree to disagree. They will often take the opposite side of a conversation just to continue the dialogue.

Gemini rules the lungs and they know that we are all connected through the air we all breathe. Talking often relieves their anxiety about whatever is happening in their lives. They seem like a Peter Pan on their quest for adventure.

The Gemini mentality is so very acute and logical that they find others that aren't as quick as they are, boring. That’s when they become the joker and have fun to keep themselves entertained. As they mature they learn to be more tolerant of those that are not as bright as themselves.

The United States is ruled by Gemini, and as all who live here, we can see how adaptable Americans are as individuals. We change jobs frequently as well as relationships. We think that we have freedom of speech and we do to a certain extent, but we do have freedom of thought.

Sometimes the Gemini thinks so much that they forget to think. Their nervous sensitivity can imply a somewhat weakness in their bodies. They can sense an upheaval coming on better that most of the other signs.

Depth of love is not their forte, they prefer a trip to the light fantastic relationship. They will be quite amicable and have a great attitude, as they really love to share thoughts and ideas with another that is close to them.

What the Planets are Doing...

The Sun moving into Gemini brings a lighter energy to the planet. This Mercury-ruled sign brings us much joy and laughter. We'll all feel lighter and have a more livelier approach to every day life.

On May 22nd Neptune, the planet of illusion, goes retrograde. This can help us redo what we might have missed in our spiritual growth. We can overlook so much with Neptune, as it’s hard to get in tune (under Neptune).

The New Moon is on May 26th. Time to write your goals and allow the energy to manifest ... don't worry about the outcome.

On May 30th Venus moves into Taurus. Our sweet nature will begin to emerge and we can stop and smell the roses.

On June 3rd Mercury moves into Cancer. Don't get mushy on us as it’s easy to do during this transit. Home and family will dominate our thinking.

Also on June 3rd, Mars moves into Leo. Don't make the lion roar too loudly. Some ego issues might take the lead during this time.

Uranus goes retrograde June 19th and it’s time to renew all of those creative ideas and begin to formulate a goal to implement these thoughts.

MARS SATURN CONJUNCTION SQUARE JUPITER
June 17, 2006

There is going to be some frustrating days ahead as Mars, our ego planet and the God of War, comes to a conjunction to Saturn, the father time planet. Saturn rules our boundaries and as such, will have a difficult time with Mars as he wants to act on his own while Saturn will stay slow and think. This will happen as Jupiter retrogrades into a square aspect to both of these planets. Jupiter rules expansion and a somewhat carefree attitude toward things. Mix this energy up and we will find neither energy directed towards business as Saturn and Jupiter are the business planets so the stock market could suffer during this time. There will be a general feeling on the planet of frustration, fear and irritability.

Try to set up for this transit as if you are prepared for this energy, you can cut your losses and feelings that your ego brings to bear. The exact conjunction of Mars to Saturn occurs on June 17th, but we will feel the energy from about June 13-22nd.

This energy demands change that can happen depending on what house Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter rules in your particular chart. Many factors go into this as well, but just be prepared for the high degree of energy that we will experience during this time.
