Welcome to June, moonbeams, and the inspirational ethers of Gemini season. This month is chock full of cosmic happenings. On June 3, those of us in the Northern Hemisphere who don’t mind an early call time can witness a “parade of planets” with Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune aligning for our viewing pleasure! See here for the signs that will be most affected by this lineup.
On the same day, Mercury, the ruling planet of Gemini, will enter the twin zone where it will flex its mischievous intellect for a brief but beautiful two weeks. On June 6, we’re all welcome to take a revitalizing sound bath and open ourselves to a stream-of-consciousness exercise during the new moon in Gemini. On June 20, we celebrate the lengthening of days with the summer solstice.
This day of days also coincides with the onset of Cancer season when we are all tasked with examining our root systems to cut away what no longer nourishes — and tend to what does. Gemini has a reputation for rabbit holes and randomness, for talking to strangers, creating conspiracies and giving live birth to both transcendent poetry and counterfeit news. What defines this sign above all else is curiosity: a deep desire to see, chase and converse with the unknown and the unexpected.
At its most triumphant, that curiosity exists in the absence of judgment and in a state of suspended disbelief. Gemini not only understands but embodies the belief that in the liminal, all things are possible. For fur.
