What's happening in Gemini season?
Welcoming Gemini Season - As the sun moves into Gemini on May 20th, we shift from grounded Taurus into a season of curiosity, connection, and communication. Ruled by Mercury, Gemini inspires learning, socialising and mental agility. Just be mindful not to stretch your energy too thin—balance curiosity with clarity. Stay open, adaptable, and ready to explore new ideas with heart and intention.

Keeping an open mind: How to welcome Gemini season
As the sun moves into the air sign of Gemini, we transition from spring to summer in the northern hemisphere. From working with grounded earth magic in Taurus season, we now move with flexibility, up and outwards to embrace the playful air energy of Gemini.
This sign, depicted by the twins in astrology, loves to communicate and connect. This may be through writing, speaking, or by simply being part of the buzz of any gathering. Ruled by Mercury, the planet that specialises in communication and mental agility, we can be sure that this season supports collaboration with others and learning new things.
Whilst mental stimulation is a must when working with Gemini energy, we need to make sure that this doesn’t tip over into feeling mentally scattered, as Gemini energy can struggle to say no to anything that sparks curiosity! A constructive expression of duality in the sign of the twins might be the ability to set clear boundaries around what we say yes to, while remaining open to compromise.
This year, Gemini season will bring us two massive planetary shifts with Saturn moving into Aries on 24th/ 25th May and Jupiter moving into Cancer on 9th June. The true lesson of this season will be how we cultivate adaptability to move with the planets. Keep an open mind and heart as we work with the cosmos…
