Gemini

Gemini is a sign that creates relationships and finds the coincident and concordant in the pairs of opposites. Mercury, the regent of the sign, is known as the Messenger of the Gods: the divine intermediary in charge of carrying the messages between Gods and men at the speed of light.

As we know, Gemini belongs to the mutable cross and, just as Taurus expresses with greater intensity the quality of the fixed cross and Aries the cardinal cross, it can be said that Gemini is the prototype of the mutable cross.

The impetus for the great transmission process taking place in Gemini occurred in Aries. In Taurus, the idea was seen, accepted and clothed with the substance of the desire nature, that is, it was implanted in the emotional body. And now, in Gemini, this energy

Reaches the etheric region: the mind of the human being.

As Gemini is a mutable sign of air, its energies penetrate everything. Energies flow through the ramifications of all areas of life in a variety of manifestations. 

In Gemini the development of the dimension of time begins. In this sign, space and time meet. As we can remember, in Taurus we create a space. Now, in Gemini, we can move in this space. Gemini can not sit in one place: he goes to the nearest object and studies it, he wants to know it closely, to know how it is constructed and what it is made of. As we move in space we meet people and realize that we are not alone.

Neighbors, brothers, relatives and acquaintances are close to us, and when we approach them we always experience and learn something. If we open ourselves to our surroundings with an awareness and an active intelligence we can learn a lot.

In the month of Gemini we collect information and knowledge. But we can also find out something about us. We can ask ourselves: What do others think of me? How do you rate my behavior? In Gemini you not only meet others, but you can find yourself.

Penetrate into the true and deep essence of Gemini is difficult because, very often, it shows itself different from what it actually is. On the one hand it can be light, adaptable and diplomatic, and on the other it can exhibit a clever and witty character.

Its main problems are duality and multiplicity, and these are also its trials in the spiritual path. It can easily be lost in the great variety of the world of forms and fail to perceive the differences of value. Then he considers things qualitatively sounding equivalent and loses the sense of proportion. This often means that they do not realize the valuable inner meaning of things, people or ideologies.

Everything is admitted, whether material or spiritual, good or bad, valuable or worthless, etc. Everything penetrates through that bowl, goes through the filter of the personality and is transmitted back to the environment. The output of energies, knowledge and qualities.

It is the great principle of mediation that we have mentioned at the beginning and which is carried out through the mutable cross, the air element and the mental agility of the regent Mercury. Mediation is one of the most important skills of this sign but it is also one of its greater difficulties. 

The hands and the arms As we know, Gemini rules the hands and the arms. If we take this symbol and dig deep into it, we can remember that when we are working or mentally active we need both hands and both parts of our being. The left hand supports to the right and vice versa.

The opposites between individual and environment, and between soul and personality. In these cases, too, it is a matter of complement and interpenetration, that is, perfection or "rounding" of our being. By integrating the tripartite personality, equilibrium is attained and maintained, that is, the center. The duality or the split disappears and the person arrives at the synthesis.
