The Gemini Myth
The origins of Gemini are first found in the creation myths of the Palaeolithic era (40,000 years ago); myths that came about as a means to exploring and understanding the environment of the earth and world our ancestors found themselves in.
Myths that explored the concept of dualities – inhale/exhale, hold/release, earth/sky, day/night, birth/death, woman/man, peace/war.
The symbol of ‘Twins’ has been found in art and myth, spanning cultures. From Turkey to Egypt to Mycenae to India to Mayan culture, twins emerge in all forms to represent life’s dual mysteries.
In Ancient Rome, we find the Roman God Hermes associated with Mercury, ruler of Gemini. Hermes, the only being who could go down into the underworld and return without paying a price, is a psychopomp and trickster. He is a guide to souls and bringer of inspiration, god of crossroads and passageways, bridging the conscious and unconscious worlds.
Hermes…enters alchemy as Mercurius, the ambiguous and unpredictable, dark-light spirit that guides the opus yet threatens always to destroy it. He/she is volatile, androgynous, both base matter and elixir, the carrier of every conceivable opposite, and is portrayed as the dark twin to Christ. Thus Mercurius is the chthonic double of the Son of God, who is born to the darkness of Mother Earth.

Gemini ~ Time to be fearless darling.
After the steadfastness of earthy Taurus, the transition of the Sun into airy Gemini brings quick thinking for quick-footed action. Nearly six months into 2019, what you’ll need to be mindful of now is Gemini’s endless capacity for distraction.
Ideas abound and you’ll want to chase each one’s tail. Please don’t.
Yet with the mind moving so quickly, use this time to harness the mental power of Gemini to bring your BIG ideas to life.
Do a quick review of your 2019 plans; what needs input and energy from you?
During the Sun transiting through Gemini, explore your voice:
- What do you want to say?
- How do you want to say it?
- What mediums will you use?
If you’ve been holding yourself back due to self-talk, now’s the time to be FEARLESS.
Words have power. Use your voice.
The reason women are critiqued for being too loud or too meek, too big or too small, too smart to be attractive or too attractive to be smart, is to belittle women out of standing up publicly. The goal is to ‘critique’ into submission & that applies to anyone challenging power.

Go out into the world darling; Speak. Teach. Write. Brag. Self-promote. Explore. Shine. Take up space. And then take up more space. Be bold.
Gemini’s gifts are its capacity for agile thinking and quick corrections. Gemini’s weakness is its capacity for shallowness, fickleness and distraction.
To assist with managing peak Gemini, practice this mantra: “I am not this thought, and this thought is not I.”
