Gemini heralds the refreshing and revitalizing energy of a new season on May 21st as the Sun moves out of Taurus. The new season—summer in the Northern Hemisphere and Winter in the Southern Hemisphere—is milder than the later portion of their weather and temperature patterns, engaging playful entertainments—summer picnics and winter fort building, for example.
As a mutable air sign, Gemini parallels the energy of the transitioning seasons with humor, wit, and a sense of fun.
The mutable modality of Gemini allows for the energy to shift and adapt with great flexibility. As the weather transitions with the season, Gemini energy provides the flexibility to find new plans or ways to complete our goals—even if the original plan must change. This air element lends mental acuity to the Gemini energy, paralleling the modality’s nature to transition from one state to another with ease.
The parallel energy of Gemini is best represented by its glyph—two line segments standing side-by-side, looking like pillars or the Roman numeral II. The two straight columns stretch vertically between the horizontal lines of the base and the top, parallel to each other. These two lines signify the Twins in the conventional understanding of Gemini, but they also symbolize corresponding flows and influences of energy that go beyond the duality of the Twins.
Equal energies reflected in Gemini’s energy include:
Self and Shadow Self,
Expressed Self and the Inner Child
Feminine and Masculine aspects of the self
Conscious and Subconscious mind
Gemini and the parallel energies reflected within its symbolism are not a single or isolated entity. Often Gemini as a sign as well as during its season, socializing and laughter are essential expressions. Also important to the energy is a corresponding influence to match as aspects grow and evolve.
As Gemini season builds, sometimes divination and magickal tools such as crystals and crystal grids help empower the expansion and strengthening of our aspects, which parallel each other and act as an external parallel focus.
In honor of Gemini, we designed this crystal grid with the parallel energy of the glyph in mind that you can find over on our Patreon page. Join us there for more Zodiac Divination ideas and layouts!
