We have entered the Mercury ruled and rapid mercurial world of the benefic, yet mischievous Gemini. Tis the season to appreciate adaptability and blatant duality. Mutable and astute, the quick-witted twin energy is capable of mirroring, when necessary. Choose to reflect on yourself versus shifting into the energies of others. Allow intelligence and inspiration to ventilate your experience during this airy Geminian cycle. 

The Third House of Communications is governed by Gemini. Within these quarters, the style in which one communicates with others, how they commute within their environment and the use of their intelligence, are prominent. How are you engaging with people and your surroundings? Is there room for improvement?

Gemini’s Major Arcana in Tarot is The Lovers Card and is related to incoming romance and strengthening current bonds of love. It is also about finding harmony with inner duality and improving decision making. As Gemini Lauryn Hill once said, “How you gone win when you ain’t right within?”—Doo Wop (That Thing). 

Lunar Cycles 

On May 27th, the New Moon in Mercury ruled Gemini influences you to activate new ideas and work diligently on your current ones. Tune into fresh ways of stimulating and calming your mind. Spike your social meter and get into some new functions. 

Full Moon transits Jupiter ruled Sagittarius on June 11th energizing positive expansion on all things. Take a chance and shoot your shot with that person or that experience—book the trip. Get in alignment with your inner audaciousness. Do what needs to be done, say what needs to be said, let what needs to go, go. Asé.

Active Retrogrades

Retrogrades (Rx) are celestial events that force the collective to revisit and renovate cycles to improve upon parts of their lives that need attention. 

Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius (May 4th – Oct 14th), lasts for six months and is the longest retrograde of all the planets. Expect and don’t evade upraised intuition. Transformative, regenerative watery Pluto within aloof, rebellious airy Aquarius feels like things coming to the surface with an intense desire to run into them versus from them. You can choose to heal and release or cling to the cycle and feel Pluto (Rx) attempt to do the same thing next year—shall you transform or remain tethered?

Vital Transits

Mercury in Gemini (May 26th – June 8th) Mercury returns home to Gemini to amplify curiosities, spark intelligent conversations, and force the introvert to extrovert. Mix, mingle, and be merry! Mercury in Cancer (June 8th – June 26th) allows people to dive deep into their minds and bodies. This transit assists you with articulating how and what you are feeling more clearly, creating more intimate dialogue. 

Venus in Taurus (June 6th – July 4th) Taurus is at home in Venus and the energy is giving sensuality and stability. Gratify yourself and resist refusing to relax. This transit can bring you closer to your lover and bring you in alignment with love. (See previous SZN for Venus in Aries.)

Mars in Leo (April 18th – June 17th) confidence and courage are orgasmic at this time, get into them. Be on the lookout for the demonstrative and dramatic. 

Saturn in Aries (May 25th – September 1st) Aries thrive on perpetuating chaos, while Saturn seeks solutions. The indomitable energies of authoritative Saturnian and courageous Arian merge and during this transit, Aries and all impulsive people will contemplate before they act, especially in areas of conflict. Cautious Saturn strengthens self-discipline and encourages you to stand on business about accepting responsibility and owning what you do.  

Neptune in Aries (March 30th – October 22nd) Neptune is deeply spiritual and romantic, while Aries is unrestrained and actionable. When these two come together, dreams are actualized, from personal to global. Boundaries will be pushed to ensure the people get what they want. 

Jupiter in Cancer (9 June 2024 – 30 June 2025) Jupiter encourages expansion of the mind and Moon ruled Cancers illuminate the shadows within and are temperamental because of the Moon’s waning, waxing, and shifting through signs every 2 ½ days. This transit energizes the need to think about what you’re feeling and utilize emotional intelligence. Jupiter’s luckiness coupled with Cancers lucrativeness could present financial increase. (See previous season for Jupiter in Gemini.)

Taurus in Uranus (15 May 2018 – 26 April 2026) Uranus creates unexpected upheavals, revolutionary rifts and course correction. Taurus vibrates with stability, possessions, and pleasure. Together, Uranus in Taurus pushes people to liberate themselves from the erratic ways in which they may treat stability, possessions, and pleasure. If a breakthrough is what you want, Uranus will give it to you. 

North Node in Pisces/South Node in Virgo Retrograde (29 Jan 2025 – 18 Aug 2026) “Lunar Nodes of Fate will keep you on point. They excavate where you have been and where you are going.”— (Goode, 2024, p. 45, 46). Part of acting and doing the work is mental. North Node in Pisces expands your imagination for deeper dreams and sweeter, flourishing romances. Open your spirit and delve into your vision in all directions—north, south, east, and west. Choose softness and fluidity. Remember, it’s good to sink your hands in, feel the soil, and get a little dirty sometimes. 

Pluto in Aquarius (19 Nov 2024 – 8 Mar 2043), a transit so massive that all Pluto in Aquarius details are here.
