Say Yes to the Improvisational Zing of Gemini Season

May 8, 2024

You can be amazing

You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug

You can be the outcast

Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love

Or you can start speaking up 

Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way words do

When settle ‘neath your ski

Kept on the inside and no sunlight

Sometimes a shadow wins 

But I wonder what would happen if you 

Say what you wanna say 

And let the words fall out … 

~ Sarah Bareilles “Brave” 🎶

Listen, Learn, Speak, Repeat.

Our connection speed revs up as we enter Gemini season—the adaptable air sign known for its heightened powers of observation, information gathering, and intellectual expression. Ready to embrace your inner teacher, storyteller, or songwriter? Between May 21st and June 20th, we’re primed to embolden these Gemini archetypes, highlighting the evergreen curiosity and communicative aplomb native to the 3rd sign.

Not only will the Sun throw its massive spotlight on this inquisitive terrain, but Jupiter lends it VIP status when the lucky planet enters Gemini on May 25th, promising bigger returns on Geminian investments over the next year. In whatever ways you’re called to cultivate a platform to learn, teach, write, spread the word—the winds of the “Twins” have your back! Make sure to double back to your natal chart (see the Lila app’s "My Chart" screen) to discover what planets and house(s) are really ready to wake up and broaden their intellectual horizons!

5 Actionable Steps in Gemini Season:

  • Follow a curiosity—even and especially if it demands embracing a new learning curve.
  • Feed your mind—refresh your podcasts, Kindle library, apps!
  • Mobilize—Gemini energy loves the improvisational novelty and learning opps of discovering new spots and people around the neighborhood and via short trips.
  • Lean into the power of your perception—whether you’re mustering your courage as an interviewer, podcast guest, photographer, songwriter—the world is ready to experience your unique point of view. Don’t keep it to yourself!
  • Mind the Gemini Shadow—make sure you’re pausing to listen, to intentionally disconnect from the purely cerebral, and to re-center to the quiet place within as a form of self-care.

That can come through connecting with favorite people, through flirtation and love, and through some sort of affirmation of your communicative gifts. Dare to put yourself out there and soak in the limelight!

🐝 6th House: It’s time to make work interesting again by learning something new, switching up your routine, or putting more intellectual muscles into the daily humdrum of life. Follow sparks of interest when it comes to health and self-improvement and lean into opportunities to build on your existing abilities, especially those involving communication.
