May 22 – June 21

The Twins, The Lovers, True Partners

Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac in astrology. Geminis’ time to shine is from May 21st to June 21st (who am I kidding, Gemini shines ALL YEAR). Gemini is represented by a set of twins. Fun fact: in Egyptian astrology, it is represented by a pair of goats, and in Arabian astrology by a pair of peacocks. I think we should just stick to our astrology. 

Do you have Gemini friends whose response to anything they do (good or bad), is: “ I am a Gemini”. I heard this sentence probably a thousand times in my life. Why is that? I always ask myself. Geminis are always interested in everything, they are moving their attention from one thing to another, always changing perspectives and opinions. Gemini is characterized by the Twins, Castor and Pollux. As a result, Geminis are known for having two different sides they can display to the world. 

Each time you encounter them, they can seem like a completely different person. However, they are proudly saying “I am a Gemini” in every single situation. They are energetic, quick-witted, smart, passionate, and dynamic. They love to talk and involve themselves in deep conversations. Gemini as friends.  It’s important to mention that you have an opinion about everything which you will happily share with other people (obviously after you told them “you are a Gemini”). When Gemini truly taps in and shares their gifts, they become an unstoppable force of energy that motivates, inspires, and enchants the rest of the Zodiac.

As every zodiac sign, Gemini is also represented by a tarot card. Gemini, your card is The Lovers. So romantic. Your Tarot card, The Lovers, portrays the dual nature that every Gemini has. Making a moral choice between taking the high or low road is a typical turning point for you. This card advises you to carefully consider your possibilities and follow the path that your personal integrity dictates. This card can be analyzed in two ways: upright and reversed. When it comes to the upright meaning, The Lovers symbolizes perfect union, harmony, love, powerful partnerships that are blessed by the universe and attraction. It represents finding the balance within oneself. Geminis are learning to understand themselves, their own personal moral code, and what they value in life. This will automatically bring balance as well as harmony to their life. The reversed meaning of the card is that Gemini may be struggling to take ownership of the decisions he or she has made. This is causing a great conflict among our Gemini friends. If you are a Gemini, you may be feeling uncertain about the direction your life is going in. A very important thing to remember is that you are the master of your own destiny. Be accountable, learn from your mistakes, and let them go. By doing so, you give space for better things to come. 

Minor Arcana of Gemini – Looks Foreboding Doesn’t it? Oh, Contraire.

Not just The Lovers Major Arcana cards of the Tarot, but you can also find Gemini energy in this foursome below.  Knight of Swords, 8, 9, and 10 of Swords are cards carrying Gemini energy in the Minor Arcana. They are great advice cards, so pay attention.

Knight of Swords. The Knight of Swords comes charging In with a clear and direct offer and/or message. He is on task, fast and bold. The Knight of Swords is solid and means what he says. When communicating with the Knight of Swords be clear, direct, organized and focused.   You will get much further, faster.

 Nine of Swords.  She does not look very happy, does she? Each of these swords are above her, in her thoughts, dreams and in her head.  The swords have not actually cut her at all.  She has merely dreamt them up.   If you get the Nine of Swords in your spread, then it is time to check your thoughts. Cease obsessive behavior and cyclical thinking.  Get out of the house, go for a walk and then come back and create an action plan.  The Nine of Swords is so different than the Ten of Swords…The Nine of Swords is recoverable. Develop a new approach, be bold, go for what you want and by all means do not self-sabotage. The number nine is a building number, almost done, but not quite yet.  Combining the number 9 with the swords means put on your thinking cap and try a new way to complete your project that will refill you with excitement.

Ten of Swords.  Wow! Going, going gone!  How many swords does it take to kill someone?  Even though we see all of these swords piercing this poor and dreadful person’s body, there is still a glimmer of hope as the victim is making every attempt to lift themselves out and escape from under the swords. Yes, they are hurt and horribly wounded…but not dead yet.   If you receive this card in your spread, it could be time to get up and walk away, live to fight another day.  This person has been hurt, either emotionally, physically or spiritually and a could benefit from a “Get out of Jail Free” card.  

Eight of Swords. Who is this woman who has been caught in a cage of her own making?  If she looks up and scans the terrain, there is great abundance waiting for her. She can escape this trap easily, just by either pulling the swords out or just walking around them.  Advice. Stop the pity party and get moving.

Gemini Compatibility

If you have been keeping up with our past zodiac blogs, you know that any sign is most compatible with its fellow element signs. Being an air sign, Gemini is most compatible with fellow air signs Aquarius and Libra. These signs have a great understanding of Gemini’s mind, making relationships strong. Fire signs such as Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, often have similar characteristics to Geminis making them a good fit for romantic or platonic relationships. Now we’ve all heard the stories about dating Geminis. Or maybe you have a story to tell yourself. As we mentioned before, Geminis have two different sides to their personality, and dating them can feel like a rollercoaster of emotions. Some people like this type of unpredictability which draws them to Geminis left and right…And I may be speaking from experience. We think Geminis get a bad rap. Sure they can be unpredictable, but they have a true gift for empowering and inspiring others. And unpredictable can be fun. 

Careers 

As we discussed before, Geminis have charming and enchanting personalities. These personality traits come in handy in many situations in a Gemini’s life, especially in their career. A career in communications is a great fit for Gemini because they know how to change their personality and language to best fit a situation. Gemini people love to learn and adapt so a career that is constantly changing will keep Gemini entertained. Many Geminis work in media because the narrative is constantly changing and the work is never the same. They are often good at many skills which makes picking a career easy. They are quick thinkers who work well in fast-paced environments. The downfall to their constantly changing personality is that repetitive or consistent tasks will make Gemini feel uninspired and unmotivated. Are you a Gemini? Take a look at your current career choice and let us know if this feels true to you. Is your job constantly changing? Do you feel inspired? Or is it time to switch things up? 

Celebrity Gemini – Johnny Depp Says It All

What a lucky month for Johnny Depp. In the June of 2022, he is not only celebrating his 58th birthday, but he is celebrating his bank account growing by $15 million. We have all heard about the defamation trial that was going on between him and Amber Heard these past months. In the end, Johnny came out to be the winner of the trial, but what can I say… he is a Gemini so we should have known this already. Angeline Jolie, filmmaker, actress, and humanitarian, Gemini family member. She has been named Hollywood’s highest-paid actress multiple times. What is really admirable about her is her efforts to help our Earth in any way she can. Jolie established the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation in 2003, a conservation organization dedicated to preserving Cambodia’s environment and endangered species. The charity also established a landmine clearing initiative in Cambodia in order to alleviate extreme rural poverty. Yes Ladies, Tom Holland is a Gemini too. Most of us know him from Spiderman, however, some of us know him as Zendaya’s boyfriend. Both of them are big achievers I would say. When we talk about legendary actresses, we have to mention Marylin Monroe. She was a popular sex symbol in the 1950s and early 1960s, and she was an embodiment of the sexual revolution of the time. This woman lived lavishly and spent her money freely on clothing, jewelry, and her home. What can I say? She is a Gemini. She left a significant impact on the world, people still talk about her. In fact, Kim Kardashian wore Marilyn Monroe’s birthday dress at the Met Gala this year, after losing 16 pounds in 21 days. Did that woman not eat or what? Speaking of Kim Kardashian, ex-husband Kanye West is in the Gemini family as well. He is an American rapper, record producer, entrepreneur, and fashion designer, one of the greatest and most influential hip-hop musicians of all time. His successful brand “Yeezy” has been huge amongst today’s youngsters. Last but not least, Morgan Freeman was born in June of 1937. He is known for his extensive acting career in a wide variety of film genres. He can also be recognized by his distinctively deep voice and calm demeanor.  He is one of the most respected figures in US cinema. 

Gemini’s Lucky Numbers. 

Gemini’s Lucky Numbers are 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 19, 52, 68.  In the Tarot, the combination of numbers get added together to produce a Karma number…as in the above series, 6 + 8 + 14 or 5. So any derivative would also be construed as one of Gemini’s Lucky Numbers.
