Okay, Gemini season is here and Gemini is your opposite sign and your opposite is always part of you. So the Gemini Sagittarius axis is a polarity, it's a compliment. And in your chart, the Gemini energy speaks to your polarities and your compliments. And that means your relationships, your one on one dyad connections. In general in the world, how do you meet other people? How do you come into relationship? What are the expectations, assumptions, and agreements that you make? We have contracts to be in relationships that begin before we even meet another person. This has to do with how we think about ourselves, who we think we are, what we think we want, what we think we're doing, and everybody I think has some baseline assumptions about other people in relationships and who other people are going to be and what they're going to want and what they're going to do, etc. So in general, the realm of relationship, you in the one on one is a big theme. And then of course, any important one on one relationships that you have right now, especially - well, actually, I was gonna say, especially with people you're not related to but that's not true, because there's plenty of emphasis on blood relations or family relations as well as partners, intimates, friends, etc. And yeah, basically anyone that you're going to have any kind of agreement with, any kind of contract with.

Okay, so the first 10 days or so of Gemini season, really kind of like get us going quickly. And Gemini is a quick moving sign. It is a very changeable sign. You know this, you're a Sagittarius, you're kind of like that too. Mutable signs like options, they tend to go multiple directions at once. And there can be this feeling this season for sure that there's a lot on the table, there are a lot of options, we're trying to sort it out, we're trying to figure it out. Now for you, I'm really feeling into the relationship between your current relationships and your past relationships. When I say past relationships, I'm referencing your family of origin or your caregivers, your kind of early relationship models. I'm also referencing significant relationships in your past and that can include all levels of relationship, whether it's friends, partners, lovers, employer-employee relationships, you know, any interactions that you've had that have shaped you. Now, this is a time when you have so much support, to rework your relationships and to do things in new ways. And sometimes, reworking things and doing things in new ways requires us to research the past and remember the past. And so there could be themes coming up in Gemini season where you're remembering experiences that happened or energies are coming up for you now that kind of instigate some kind of process that has you investigating what happened back then. You might be encountering old friends, old lovers, old partners, or somehow coming back into contact with people, events, or memories that were important for you at a certain time. And as you come back into contact with them, there may be something that gets stirred up again, and has you looking at things in new ways or in different ways.

On May 23, Saturn will station retrograde in Aquarius, and this is a significant retrograde especially this year. Saturn is retrograde until October, and this is an interesting period of time for you to tune in with how you communicate, and especially how you communicate with your one on ones as you meet people. Right out of the door, how do you introduce yourself? You know, what's the vibe in your body? When you go to say hello to somebody? How do you meet a new person? How do you share information? How do you listen to other people's information? What do you want to be paying attention to? How do you want to be orienting intentionally with others? This is a time when you might really be thinking about how you want to be engaging in the space of relatedness that has a lot to do with paying attention. With listening, with focusing, with attending to whatever the information is at the time. My sense is that you want to be clear with yourself what you're making space for. If you have, you know that friend who is always taking up all the space with their drama, or they’re gossiping in ways that like don't feel so good for you, this is a time to make some boundaries, and you're going to have to clarify for yourself first before you clarify with them. In general, this is a retrograde that is supportive for you to be thinking about your mental energy and your attention, and how you want to be using it and you want to be in choice about your mental energy and attention. And especially for Sagittarius, this isn't always easy, because you got a lot of things that you're interested in. And if you're, you know, an extra Saggy kind of being, you can get taken up with things, you know, like really excited about things and kind of consumed by them. And you might have experiences where later then you're like, oh man, like, you know, that was kind of a waste of my energy or waste of my attention. So right now is a great time for pretty practical thinking, a kind of soberness when it comes to your mental space and I don't necessarily mean that in the literal application of the word because sometimes people are also assisted in recognizing certain aspects of themselves through plants, plant medicine, or something like that. But I mean getting real with yourself, like paying attention to your intention. And when you are in relationship with others, what is happening there, and what do you want to make space for, and what do you need boundaries with or where do you need boundaries?

On May 26, we have an eclipse in your sign. So if you are an early Sagittarius rising or sun, you definitely want to pay attention to this eclipse. This is a full moon, lunar eclipse at five degrees of Sagittarius. Now this eclipse is definitely highlighting the relational asset axis in your chart and it is bringing a lot of focus into the foundation of your being. How do you stand in your own truth? How do you stand in your own power? How are you growing in relationships right now? And how do you want to grow? What kind of space do you want to take up? It may be important for you to look at the past again to kind of research early influences: home, family, parents, caregivers, etc. What did you learn about yourself and the way that you can take space or be in relationship? If you notice that there are belief systems that are apparent to you that are limiting, especially about yourself, about your potential in relationship, what other people want from you, what you have to give etc. This is an amazing time to let them go. Any self limiting belief systems, let them go. Now, letting go is a process, it doesn't happen overnight. But especially around this eclipse, engaging yourself with mindfulness practice, really noticing when these thought patterns are arising and how they manifest is so helpful. All you have to do is notice. And then when you notice, ask yourself, Is this what you want to believe? Ask yourself, how does this belief system affect you? How do you feel when you're telling yourself this story? If you don't like how you feel, tell yourself a different story. And I'm a big fan of like facts, fact based evidence or something like that. I think a lot of us have stories about ourselves that are pretty shitty, you know, we don't live in societies and in a world that is really set up to help us really love ourselves. And so a lot of us have so many self limiting belief systems, about our bodies, about our minds, about our everything, right, but you're probably an awesome person. And you're probably a person that has wonderful attributes and qualities. And so if you notice that there are these self limiting belief systems that are arising for you, one thing that you can do is just start a little list for yourself of the things that you like about yourself, and the ways of being that you are or that you have, that you want to affirm and that you want to give energy and attention to. And when you find yourself kind of caught up in the not so great stories, again, notice that they're there, notice how they make you feel, and then repeat a better story for yourself. Notice something about you that you love and appreciate that.

May 29, Mercury stations retrograde in Gemini. Mercury is the ruler of Gemini. This is a Mercury retrograde that you definitely want to do all the things people say to do with mercury retrograde: slow down, pay attention to your communications, don't say things you don't mean, don't say things you're going to regret later. That can be hard to do. Slow down, tune in. Especially when it comes to your important relationships, especially when it comes to that one on one connection. If you find yourself in states of being that are reactive or permissive or kind of like not very grounded, I know it's hard if you're in that space to notice and to slow down, but those would be the times to notice and slow down. You may also be in some kind of important process of decision around relationships in general or around specific relationships. You might want some changes, there may need to be some changes that happen. There may be some conversations that come up around this retrograde that are important and informative to the relationship itself. So Mercury's retrograde from May 29 until June 23, and its shadow extends all the way until July 7. Now if you have your planets, your Sagittarius placements between 16 and 24 degrees of Sagittarius, or if you have any placements between 16 and 24 Gemini, definitely take extra special note of them and their meanings. Those themes are going to figure in strongly with this Mercury retrograde.

13:33  

May 30 through June 3 or 4, there is this kind of window in the middle of Gemini season that feels really nourishing and supportive and kind of easy, maybe, hopefully easy for some people, and Sagittarius people are fortunately or unfortunately definitely these people. This could be a time when a lot of feelings kind of come to the surface and there are some like important recognitions or releasing of feelings, you might find yourself emotional at this time and in a deeper way than normal. This could be really lovely. It can bring you more emotional access to yourself and to others, but you might also feel that there's a lot that needs to come out at this time. And if there is then give it space, it is ready to come out. The entire month of June you have support to be developing intimacy in new ways cultivating deeper trust, deeper opening with your important relationships. This is also a time when you can connect with people who are not here. They've either passed on or they haven't come in yet. And so in that liminal space between the living and the nonliving or the human and the other than human or the more than human, this is a really interesting space for you to be tuning in. If you have any kind of practices that help you connect with the occult. Now would be a time to check in with them. Check in with your tarot cards, with astro, with your dream space, with your altar space. This is also an interesting time for some of you to be thinking about exchange, what do you give and what are you getting in return? This could be time, energy, attention, affection, money, resources. How do you want to be giving, what do you want to be getting? You have a lot of support right now to be attracting and magnetizing what you want when you know what you want and when you can tune in with it and energetically attract it. Emanate the energy that you want to call in. 

15:45  

The last few weeks of Gemini season, we go right back into this kind of chaotic change energy and there are a lot of points of stimulation between June 5 and June 20. Now in general, I think that everybody is changing a lot right now we're at, we're in a time of kind of unprecedented change in the world. Are you getting tired of that term, I'm getting tired of it, unprecedented. But it's true, right? I mean, there's so many things happening all at the same time. There's so much need for us to pay attention to what's happening on a collective level, and in whatever ways we can to participate in collective change through our personal lives. And for you, I feel like you have some energy for this, especially as we move into June, it feels like you are motivated and inspired to be working in your life in ways that support a larger vision that have you connecting with your ideals and ideas of how things could be in the world. 

16:49  

On June 10, there is a new moon and solar eclipse in Gemini, this is a new moon at 19 degrees. So again, if you have planets or points around 19 Gemini or Sagittarius, because it will be opposite to your Sag, definitely pay attention to those planets and points and their meanings. Now this is an eclipse that is conjunct with Mercury retrograde, so if you are in the midst of some kind of important conversation, or process with important others, if you're in the midst of a deep transformational process with yourself in terms of how you want to be in relationship, just notice what's going on. Just notice the changes that are happening. Notice the doors that are opening the doors that are closing, try and be as present as you can with this energy. Don't force anything, this is not a time to even really have like a strong idea about the outcome that you want. It is a time to be present and available for what is arising. If you can orient with your heart, it will be helpful for you. If you can orient with your inner body, with your sense of inner peace, you know, if you can be at peace with yourself and, I don't know about you, but for me at least this means I have to be self loving. And again, focus on what those narratives are that help you feel self loving. And in any kind of relationship context where you might feel aggravated or reactive, tune in with those stories. Like feel the feeling of loving yourself and try and be present in your heart as you go through this eclipse portal. It's a big one for you in relationships and the more that you can be grounded in your heart and really come from your heart fullness, the more that whatever changes and evolutionary developments this eclipse is bringing can move in the direction that your heart wants to move and that will support your heart, right, and your heart is beautiful. You have a beautiful heart my Sagittarius friend and you want that heart to feel supported and shining and radiant in the world.

June 14, there is a really important planetary aspect. This is a square between Saturn and Uranus. This is one of the most important aspects of the astrology in 2021. It happens three times, February, June, and December. So in the middle of Mercury retrograde, four days after an eclipse, we get the second occurrence of this planetary aspect. And for you this feels like major evolution when it comes to your mind and your attention and how you are working with your intention. There's something that you are changing right now that has to do with your life in general, how you're living your life, how you've set yourself up for your day to day, what kind of responsibilities you take on, the labor that you perform, the jobs that you have, how you care for your health. You want to be up leveling and turning up the volume on your wellness, your well-being. What does that mean for you? I don't know. But some ideas that I have include more integration between the mind and body, less feeling of separation between the mind and body, more embodiment, more connection to your bodily wisdom, to bodily pleasure, to connection with the earth, to your health, freedom in some way, letting loose in some way. If you feel a need to, like have a dance party or have some kind of cathartic process, it's like, can you do that at least once a week? How do you make space for yourself to be present with your body's needs? Your body has so much wisdom, your mind wants to be available for that bodily wisdom. Your mind can be in service to your body, your body can work intelligently with your mind. Our minds are not always to be trusted. I've been talking a little bit already in this horoscope about clarity with your attention. How do you want to be using your mind? What do you want to be focusing on? What you focus on grows. So focus on how you want to grow and how you want to develop. Over the course of the next several months, you are going to make some significant changes and it feels to me like these changes could definitely be circumstantial and logistic, as well as relational, but they are definitely mental. You are setting your mind to something. And in this season, pay attention to what that is. Work skillfully with your mind, be intentional about your attention.
