Gemini

Gemini: Key To Happiness

Pure Discrimination: — our ultimate goal.

Pure Discrimination is a lightning fast process that takes into consideration the inner-self in all personal decisions. For a Gemini, this is a difficult task, because the intellectual energy ruling Gemini by the sense of discrimination thrives on outside information, for the ego to remain active.

Mercury: our Ruling Planet

Like all planets, Mercury has a dual quality too. The first quality of Mercury, is the illusionary phase that creates mind chatter to heighten the ego’s sense of separateness. Mind-chatter also separates us from the experience. It causes all of our interpretations to be flawed, because they are based on comparing opposites using memory. The ultimate goal of mind chatter is conflict and disagreement, based on a belief, or a personal opinion. Everything must be judged for our ego to believe it has personal power.

The second quality of Mercury’s influence on our discriminating power of Gemini is the hope the endless search for information to base our judgments on, will develop our mental gifts. Intellect eventually is forced to expand its concepts into a broader knowledge, in order to be shared, proving to ourselves that our intellect can evolve from narrow notions, and reach to grasp the true universal reality.

Venus: our Motivation

Venus, as ruler of the next air sign Libra, also has a dual quality that influences our ultimate outcome as a human being. The first quality, influences us to express our intellect in a social, but somewhat surface expression to keep alive the little ego and its misinterpretations, to remain in a highly active mode, to avoid intellectual embarrassment. Here intellect is motivated only by what turns us on. Venus, enables us to express our mental talents. The more intellectually interested we are, the longer our -span becomes, and then, a broader knowledge can unfold.

Gemini’s true potential is the level of pure creative living. Desire is transformed by judging by appearances. If it turns us on, long enough to hold our attention, our desire becomes inspired, and enables us to bring love and attention down into the moment. By suspending our searching, uniting with the now, stabilizes our desires in perfect equilibrium, in balance with the inner self.

Uranus/Saturn: our Good Fortune

Uranus and Saturn, taken together as the rulers of the following air sign Aquarius, magnifies and focuses to develop all of our propensities through limitation. Its dual influence first causes contraction and then expansion, both physically and spiritually — stabilizing and undoing, stabilizing and undoing. There influence expended merely physically can lead to excesses of all kinds — restrictions then explosions, rejection then rebellion, frustration then ecstasy, all motivated by what turns us on.

Spiritually, its influence imbues us with a sense of expanded consciousness. We learn from the lessons, and develop a broader concept of who we are. Saturn develops our concentration, to rule over our past, present, and future thoughts. Uranus then unites us by sensation, to the eternal now.

Exalted Planets:

There is no planet exalted in Gemini: Mercury, (intellect) must first  demonstrate its true spiritual discrimination as a mediator of the thoughts, and ideas that flow through us. Once discrimination is in place, the mind chatter becomes balanced and clear. In the silence our ability to command the forces of nature with our thoughts unfolds as pure discrimination.
