Gemini

GeminiGemini, Mithuna
Signifies:

At Gemini, the third stage in the cosmic cycle of the signs, the intellect is born. Gemini's symbol, the twins, symbolises the meeting of universal consciousness and material reality; it also represents the birth of the intellect, the mental (not sexual) joining of the opposing male and female impulses to make ahamkara, the ego. Once we have an ego the gunas are formed, because it is only then that we begin to ask questions and to recognise ourselves as something special. The guna senses (rajas, tamas and sattva), live within each of us and they are all contained in Gemini.

There is a duality and an ambivalence within Gemini: male/female, objective/subjective, harmony/chaos, spiritual/material. Gemini energy is about mental agility, understanding the other side, the other point of view. Geminis are intellectuals, changeable and quick-thinking. They lack stability and peace of mind, and can seem very fickle. Looking for ever-higher mental satisfaction, they exist in a state of discontent. They need to be in less of a hurry to change. Being so capable of deceiving themselves and others, they are difficult to get to know.

Gemini people are good at making money; a practical goal rather than a spiritual one. Being dual-natured, Geminis can intellectualise and be businesslike at the same time! Their purpose is to understand all the workings of earthly life.

Mercury rules Gemini

Mercury represents the rashi of pure mind. It is quick-thinking and quick-moving - there is no stillness here. The need for mental activity and for independence is very strong. Geminis need to be careful that in their search for higher intellectual satisfaction, they do not lose sight of their present goals.

No planets are debilitated in Gemini; although
Mars is uncomfortable with its duality, its intellectual searching and restlessness.
