Toodle loo, Taurus! It’s been fun, but your days are done. On May 20th, the Sun shifts into chatty and charming Gemini, kicking off a brand new zodiac sign season of curiosity, connection, and communication. Lasting until June 20th, Gemini season brings a whirlwind of activity, change, and maybe even a little commotion. Oh, btw: HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEMINI!!!
Soooo, yes: Gemini is now in charge, steering the zodiac ship—and it’s moving you, me, and everyone else into exciting, new, once-every-12-year territory. But before we get to what’s going on during Gemini season, let’s talk a bit about the sign and season itself.
As you probably already know, Gemini is an air sign, and in astrology, air is the element of the mind. It helps us rationalize, synthesize, and express our thoughts. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of thinking, speaking, writing, and learning, Gemini’s main goal is to communicate and learn from others. As the only mutable air sign in the zodiac, Gemini’s inherent adaptability and shapeshifting skills are channeled through the mind. This usually manifests as swiftness in thought, speech, writing, along with changing ideas, changing viewpoints, changing direction, annnnnd hyper-curiosity.
One of the more interesting things about this sign is its duality. Represented by the Twins, Gemini is at once logical and imaginative, funny and serious, witty and wise…because of this sign’s duality, Gemini seldom ever commits to any one single thing. That’s because Gemini’s bigger role in astrology is to move around and pollinate! During Taurus season, we build. We plant seeds and tend to the soil. But during Gemini season, the flowers and plants (i.e. the ideas, the goals, the projects) have bloomed and they are in desperate need of circulation.
Key Gemini Season Themes
Gemini season is all about Pollination! Just as bees flit from flower to flower, spreading pollen and facilitating growth, Gemini energy encourages us to connect, share ideas, and foster new relationships. It's a time of Propagation, where thoughts and conversations multiply, leading to new opportunities and collaborations. We also see an increase in the Circulation of information. Ideas move quickly, news travels fast, and there's a buzz of activity in our daily lives. This is the season to be curious, to explore different perspectives, and to stay open to the myriad of possibilities that come your way.
During Gemini season, the emphasis is on Spreading the word! Whether it's through social media, casual conversations, or public speaking, this is the perfect time to get your message out there. It's about Broadcasting your thoughts, making your voice heard, and engaging with the world around you. Mental and social stimulation reign supreme, and so does change. Be prepared to say out with the old and in with the new, at least for now.
Gemini season also brings trickery and duality. Its ruler Mercury, is the trickster planet, and its glyph is The Twins. So, with Gemini and Gemini season, there are always two sides to every story. So, for the next four weeks, you may find yourself pursuing two people, goals, or jobs simultaneously. The tricky part is knowing which you want more. Expect to flit from one idea and social circle to the next. And maybe you start a handful of new projects, and make plans only to change them the very next day.
While the Gemini Sun makes us charming and witty, it can also make us superficial and fickle. Emotional coolness, gossipy conversations, and trickery, especially in your love life, may arise. You could be chasing after anything fun and exciting, flexing your intellect, charming people with words, and shifting perspectives. But beware: inattentiveness, distractions, and lack of commitment can be the downsides. So, enjoy the wit and ingenuity of Gemini season, but stay mindful of its potential pitfalls.

May 23 – Sagittarius Full Moon & Venus enters Gemini
Who’s Impacted MOST: Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces)

May 25 – Jupiter enters Gemini
Who’s Impacted MOST: EVERYONE, but especially air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces)
After what feels like EONS, the planet of plenty is FINALLY moving out of Taurus. And as I mentioned in this video on TikTok, it's during Jupiter in Gemini that you will MOST LIKELY see the fruits of your labor bloom. I'm talking MAJOR bloomage, like burgeoning blossoms. Yep, all those seeds you've (hopefully) been planting? They’re about to bloom into a garden of success. Think major growth, new opportunities, and a sprinkle of luck in your communications and connections. If you’ve been hustling, expect some serious rewards.
In Gemini, Jupiter is ~technically~ in detriment, meaning some of the planet’s qualities don’t function as optimally. HOWEVER, Jupiter is such a positive, constructive planet in astrology, that I’m not too worried about this detriment. Jupiter is never “bad” or negative, as that detriment label connotes. Most likely, this “detrimental” energy will manifest as scatterbrained-ness, pursuing too many things at one time, getting too much in your head. So, as long as you stay mindful of that, you’ll be good to go.
