Preface: As I do every month for each of the signs, I want to emphasize that if
your birthday does not fall during the Gemini timeframe for the year you were
born, this DOES NOT mean that you do not experience the energy of Gemini, because
somewhere in your natal birth chart, it is present. All twelve signs of the zodiac are expressed
in your being, although some signs, and therefore their corresponding energies,
may be more emphasized than others.
The Sun sign is about your essence, your vitality (what makes you feel
alive), and your self-image. Whatever
your Sun sign, you are on a life-long journey to discover and fully embrace
this sign’s energy. You may be tested in
life to experience the meaning of your Sun sign’s energy.
The Sun transits the sign of Gemini beginning May 20, 2012 at 8:16 a.m.
PDT.
INTRODUCTION
I like to present quotes because
people will often speak the language of their zodiac sign. I also present
observations by others about individuals who represent the Sun Sign I am
writing about.
“I am a Gemini and so is my wife Dolores. You
never met four nicer people.”[1]

Gregory
McNamee interviewing reporter Chris Matthews about his book Elusive Hero, which explores the lesser-known
side of JFK:
McNamee:
“A striking motif in your book is
Kennedy’s intellectualism, his constant reading. Yet the image is widespread of
Kennedy as being rather insubstantial. Why is that?”
Matthews:
“I think he came across that way to some
people—like Tip O’Neill. I worked for him for six years, and I have memories of
O’Neill and the old guys dismissing him as a good-looking guy with a lot of
girlfriends. Jack Kennedy didn’t betray who he really was to a lot of people. I
write about the two Jacks: the good-time Charlie and the sick kid who was
lonely and who was always thinking about war and death, pretty gothic. That
sick kid, that other guy didn’t get exposed very often.”[3]

GEMINI SYMBOLISM AND RULERSHIPS
The name for the third sign
of the zodiac, Gemini, means “twins” in Latin. The twins symbolism is often
associated with the myth of Castor and Pollux, which tells the story of one
twin fathered by a god and the other twin fathered by a mortal. This myth, says
astrologer Bruce Nevin, reflects a duality that requires the reconciliation of
the higher (cardinal quality) and lower natures (fixed quality) into a third
force (mutable quality). Nevin observes that out of the archetypal polarity of
Aries as subject, and Taurus as object, emerges the relationship between them,
personified by Gemini, who embodies the airy quality of perception and communication.[5]
In the body, Gemini rules
those parts of the body that are paired, explains Nevin. These include the
shoulders, arms, hands, lungs, and the metabolism of the subtle energy force
referred to as Prana in Eastern philosophy.[6]
The planet Mercury rules the
sign of Gemini. In mythology, Mercury serves as a messenger to the gods,
exchanging information, gossip, and often mischief between them. Bruce Nevin
says that this closest planet to the Sun is an intermediary between the wisdom
of the heart to the intellect and the senses. In alchemy, this planet
corresponds to the metal mercury, or quicksilver, the universal solvent that
reconciles opposites.[7]
As a mutable air sign, Gemini
says, “I think.” This sign corresponds to the third house of the astrological
chart, which represents personal communication and communication style, one’s
local environment, day trips, siblings, and social connections in the local
network.
HOW GEMINI ENERGY IS EXPRESSED
Gemini is a sign that one
might erroneously trivialize with descriptors such as quick, scattered, social,
and superficial. If one contemplates the motivations of a Gemini and its reason
for existence, one can understand that Gemini is far more complex than meets
the eye.
Astrology and mythology are
deeply intertwined in symbolism and in the portrayal of human personality. Western
astrology draws upon works originating from Egypt, Babylonia, Greece, and Rome,
but similar themes can be found in the mythology of other cultures. Even within
Western mythologies, various versions of the same story abound.
Mythology tales relevant to
Gemini center on the story of Castor and Pollux, who in some versions, were the
sons of Zeus, and in other accounts were descended from the Queen and King of Sparta.
Their origin is complex. One twin, Castor, is born as a mortal and has the
gifts of ingenuity and logic. The other twin, Pollux, is immortal and has the
gift of great physical strength. They progress through life facing choices in
pairs, such as marrying twin sisters. The lives of Castor and Pollux are so
intertwined and symbiotic, that separation becomes difficult. Their lives
reflect themes of entanglements, dependence, and rivalry. Eventually the two
engage in battle, and the mortal Castor is killed by Pollux’s spear. The
immortal Pollux is left to grieve, feeling that something is missing without
his brother. The feelings of emptiness are so great that Pollux implores Zeus
to make him mortal so that he can join his brother in death. In another version
of this story, the twins make a pact to share immortality by living alternating
lives in Heaven and on Earth.
Astrologer Brian Clark says
that the Gemini myth reveals themes of duality, sacrifice, separateness, loss,
and searching for the other. Clark says that in the stage of Gemini, separation
awakens consciousness, and the consciousness of being separate is painful. Clark
posits that this sense of a loss of connection becomes embodied in the nervous
system as anxiety or the lack of concentration, hence the fidgety quality we
often associate with the sign of Gemini. Clark states that dodging commitment
is one way that a fear of loss is manifested.[8]
This Gemini journey brings to
mind the metaphysical process of the “perennial philosophy,” where spirit
manifests into the separate selves of earthly existence, and then our selves
once again merge back into spirit. While on earth, humans often seek “the
other” to feel a spiritual completion. This is a primary concern of Gemini
energy.
The Gemini’s exploration of
duality reminds me of the quote from writer F. Scott Fitzgerald: “Before I go
on with this short history, let me make a general observation - the test of a
first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at
the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for
example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make
them otherwise.”[9] People with an
emphasis of Gemini energy seem to have this inclination, and perhaps this
ability to see multiple perspectives is one reason the sign is labeled as
“fickle.”
Astrologer Deborah Houlding
notes that Gemini takes its name from the two bright stars that dominate the
astronomical constellation. Duality is a central feature of its symbolism, and consistent
with Hermetic principle, contradictory forces must be brought together and
recognized as mutually dependent upon each other. Houlding explains: “The sign
of Gemini can indicate acute polarization of the spiritual and material and
alternation between the extremes of rational logic and instinctive belief,
although its symbolic theme is development of the ability to reconcile all
contradictions in a central threshold where reason and belief, intellect and
emotion, masculinity and femininity merge into one.” She observes that contrary
to the typical image of Gemini as “light and flighty,” Geminis have their
brooding moods. Houlding continues: “This integration of opposites never allows
one half of the dualistic experience of life to be fully separated from the
other.” Houlding posits that the Gemini propensity to be inconsistent and
changeable can be viewed as a virtue because Gemini must remain responsive to
the environment and address contradictory demands simultaneously. Therefore,
the mark of this sign, Houlding says, is mental agility and bridge-building.[10]
Gemini’s ruler, Mercury, has
infused this sign with its mojo, including the ability to serve as an
intermediary. Astrologer Dana Gerhardt says that Aries initiates, Taurus
stabilizes, and Gemini connects.[11] Mercury’s
energy, as it is manifested in Gemini, has made its mark in this era of online
social networking. When you are “doing” Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, you are
utilizing your Gemini (and Aquarius) energy.
Dana Gerhardt advises her
astrology clients that where Gemini appears in their charts, they might
consider doing “two.” For example, if you have Gemini on the cusp of the tenth
house of career and social standing, you might do well having two careers. If
you are knowledgeable about the meaning of all twelve houses, you might take
some time to find where Gemini is in your chart, and think how this advice
might impact your life. Gerhardt’s adage stems from the desire by Gemini to
avoid boredom with daily activities. One way of keeping life interesting is to
do more than one activity.
Becoming engaged in an
interesting task wards off boredom, and Gerhardt presents a beautiful example
in the storytelling of Scheherazade, of Arabian Nights (or One Thousand and One
Nights) fame. The tale goes that King Shahryar was vengeful because of an
unfaithful spouse, and he retaliated by setting out to marry a virgin each day,
beheading the bride he had married the day before. The witty, wise,
self-educated, and charming Scheherazade volunteered to read to the King for
one night. She wove interesting stories with intricate and suspenseful plots
until dawn, and stopped the storytelling, saying that she could not continue
because it was a new day. The King, wanting to continue to hear the intriguing
story spared her life, and asked her to read another story the following night.
Because she cleverly avoided ending the story, and left each story with a
cliffhanger, this continued for many nights, and during this period,
Scheherazade bore the King children. Finally, there came a night when she
finally ended a story, but the King by this time had fallen in love with her
and asked her to be his Queen. Scheherazade incorporates many of Gemini’s
qualities: the ability to understand her environment (the king), intelligence,
cleverness, wit, and great storytelling (i.e. communication) skills.[12] May we all have access to Scheherazade’s skills when
we need them the most!
SNAPSHOT PROFILES OF GEMINIS
Anne Frank
Born June
12, 1929
Ruled by Mercury, the planet
of the rational mind, Gemini instills talents for various forms of communication.
The penchant for writing was keenly demonstrated by the young Jewish girl, Anne
Frank, perhaps one of the most widely recognized victims of the Holocaust. Known
for her poignant personal accounts in what later became Anne Frank: The Diary
of a Young Girl, she wrote the following in her April 4, 1944 journal entry:
“I
finally realized that I must do my schoolwork to keep from being ignorant, to
get on in life, to become a journalist, because that’s what I want! I know I
can write ..., but it remains to be seen whether I really have talent...
And
if I don’t have the talent to write books or newspaper articles, I can always
write for myself. But I want to achieve more than that. I can’t imagine living
like Mother, Mrs. van Daan and all the women who go about their work and are
then forgotten. I need to have something besides a husband and children to
devote myself to! ...
I
want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met.
I want to go on living even after my death! And that’s why I’m so grateful to
God for having given me this gift, which I can use to develop myself and to
express all that’s inside me!
When
I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are
revived! But, and that’s a big question, will I ever be able to write something
great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?”
Annelies Marie Frank was born
in Frankfurt, Germany on June 12, 1929. Anne’s father, Otto Frank, was a successful
businessman who created a comfortable upper middle class life for his family.
When Hitler came to power in 1933, Otto Frank understood that Jews were not
safe in Germany, and he soon moved his family to Amsterdam. Anne was educated
at a Montessori school where she exhibited an outspoken nature, high energy,
and a strong aptitude for writing and reading.
The Frank family’s lives were
turned upside down when Germany invaded the Netherlands and began the
occupation of their new homeland. The Nazis forced Jews to wear the Star of
David, and established stringent curfews. The German occupiers required Jewish
merchants to relinquish their businesses, and they made it mandatory that Jewish
children attend segregated schools. When Margot, the older sister, received
orders to report to a work camp, the family determined that it was time to go
into hiding. For two years, the family lived in a secret annex contiguous to
their company site. During that time, they never ventured outdoors.
Only 13 when the family took
refuge in the secret annex, Anne took comfort in writing in her new diary, a
gift from her family. Aside from her diary, Anne also kept a notebook for
creative writing and she used it to document quotations from her favorite
authors. Although idealistic as one may be in their youth, she was profound for
someone of her age, as this passage from July 15, 1944 diary entry illustrates:
“ ... in spite of everything, I still believe
that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a
foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world
gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder,
which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I
look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this
cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.”
In August 1944, an anonymous
individual tipped off the Nazis about the Frank family’s secret annex, and the
family members were taken away to separate concentration camps. Anne and Margot
Frank were ultimately sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where the
two sisters contracted typhus and died a day apart, only a few weeks before the
Russians liberated the camp. Otto Frank was the only immediate family member
who survived the concentration camps.
After the end of the war,
Otto Frank returned to Amsterdam, where he learned about the tragic fates of
his daughters and wife. A family friend kept Anne’s diary, and when Otto Frank
read her entries, he was so moved by her profound insights that he pursued its
publication.
Anne Frank fell victim to
human vitriol, robbing her of a full life. Nevertheless, she developed her writing
craft early, and the world was privileged to hear her heartfelt descriptions of
a harrowing period in history. In fulfillment of her wish to live beyond her death,
her words continue to inspire generation after generation of youth around the globe.

Cornel West
Born June 2,
1953
As a provocative writer and speaker
about our society’s moral fabric and political climate, Cornel West represents
one of America’s leading intellectuals today. Influenced by his roots in the
Black Baptist Church, West blends drama, scholarship, and inspiration in his
speaking style. Writing about West’s many roles, journalist Cara Buckley says
he lives his life as a “Princeton professor, philosopher, fiery orator, civil
rights activist, classical violinist, and actor (in two “Matrix” movies).” The
author of numerous books, he rose to national prominence with his 1993 book, Race
Matters. His most recent work, The Rich and the Rest of Us, penned in
collaboration with TV and radio personality Tavis Smiley, focuses on the
growing economic inequities in the U.S.
Although he was born in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, Cornel Ronald West grew up in the Sacramento, California area,
where a school, the Irene B. West Elementary School, was named after his
mother, a career teacher and principal. His father served as a General
Contractor for the Department of Defense. During his high school years, the
younger West served as class president, participated in civil rights actions,
and led efforts to incorporate black studies courses in the curriculum.
Cornel West studied at
Harvard University, where he graduated magna cum laude in Near Eastern
Languages and Civilization in 1973. Martin Kilson, one of West’s professors,
observed that West was “the most intellectually aggressive and highly cerebral
student I have taught in my 30 years here.” West credits both Harvard
professors and the Black Panther Party as influences in the development of his
personal philosophy. Because of his Christian faith, West did not join the
Black Panther Party, but expressed his activism through work with church,
prison, and meal programs. West went on to graduate school at Princeton
University, where he completed his doctoral studies in Philosophy.
After earning his Ph.D.,
Harvard University named Cornel West as a W.E.B. DuBois Fellow. Soon
thereafter, he accepted an appointment as Assistant Professor at New York’s
Union Theological Seminary. In 1984, Yale University offered him a teaching
position. At that time, he participated in many civil rights and labor
protests, which resulted in his arrest, and subsequent punishment by Yale. West
taught once more for a year at Union, and then accepted a teaching position at
Princeton University, where he became Professor of Religion and Director of the
African-American Studies Program from 1988 to 1994. West left Princeton to
become Professor of African-American Studies at Harvard University, with a
joint appointment at the Harvard Divinity School. After a very
public dispute with then-President Lawrence Summers, West left Harvard in
2002, returning to Princeton where he presently teaches African American
Studies. In late 2011, West announced that he will be returning to an academic
position with Union Theological Seminary.
Frequently appearing as a
commentator on television and radio programs such as Real Time with Bill Maher,
the Colbert Report, and Democracy Now, West speaks frequently on the topics of
militarism, race, and poverty in the United States. He openly endorses
candidates, and is critical of the policies of elected officials. More
recently, he has participated in several acts of civil disobedience, in
conjunction with causes initiated by Occupy Wall Street. About this movement,
he has responded to critics who claim that Occupy Wall Street lacks a focus:
“It’s
impossible to translate the issue of the greed of Wall Street into one demand,
or two demands. We’re talking about a democratic awakening...you’re talking
about raising political consciousness so it spills over all parts of the
country, so people can begin to see what’s going on through a set of different
lens, and then you begin to highlight what the more detailed demands would be.
Because in the end we’re really talking about what Martin King would call a revolution:
A transfer of power from oligarchs to
everyday people of all colors. And that is a step by step process.”
Although I am familiar with
Dr. West from his role as a social observer and commentator, many others may
recognize him from his appearances in the entertainment industry. West appears
in both The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. Additionally,
West provides philosophical commentary on all three Matrix films in The Ultimate Matrix Collection,
along with philosopher Ken Wilber.
West has also made several
appearances in documentary films, such as the 2008 film Examined Life,
a documentary featuring several academics discussing philosophy in real-world
contexts. In the realm of music, West recorded a recitation of John
Mellencamp's song "Jim Crow" for inclusion on the
singer's box set On the Rural Route 7609 in 2009. In
2010, he recorded with the Cornel West Theory, a Hip Hop band
promoted by West. He also released two hip-hop/soul/spoken word albums,
entitled Street Knowledge, and
the other Never Forget: A Journey of
Revelations. West also appeared on Immortal Technique's song "Sign of the
Times,” which appeared on the album The Martyr.
Always on the go, the
mercurial West claims to need very little sleep, often reading until 2 a.m. On
weekends, he travels around country delivering lectures, becoming, in his own
words, “a bluesman in the life of the mind, a jazzman in the world of ideas, and
forever on the move.”

Prince (also
known by other names)
Born June 7,
1958
Mercury, Gemini’s ruling
planet, influences the sign through its emphasis on duality. In mythology,
Mercury often appears as a being with an androgynous nature. How often have you
heard people describe musical artist Prince as “always androgynous, sexually
ambiguous?” The singer, songwriter, musician, and actor gained notoriety
through his flamboyant stage presence, costumes, and sexually explicit lyrics,
combined with religious themes. His signature music pioneered “the Minneapolis
sound,” a fusion of funk, rock, pop, R&B, and New Wave.
Prince Rogers Nelson was born
to parents with musical talents on June 7, 1958 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. By
the age of seven, he wrote his first song. He released his debut album, For You,
at the age of 20. The following year, his Prince album (1979) went platinum
because of the success of its singles. He released Dirty Mind (1980) and Controversy
(1981) in succeeding years. Although he recorded for Warner Bros. and Arista
Records, he founded his own recording studio and label, for which he composed
his own music, self-produced, and played many of the instruments on his
recordings. During his musical career, Prince produced 10 platinum
albums and 30 single hits in the Top 40 charts. Internationally, his releases
sold 80 million copies. Prince attained international commercial success with
his song 1999 (1982) and his Purple Rain film (1984), as well as Batman (1989).
After several years out of the limelight, Prince reemerged in 2004 with his
Grammy Awards performance, and the release of his Musicology album. In 2006, he
won a Golden Globe award for his composition and performance of “Song of the
Heart,” which was featured in the animated film, Happy Feet. Over the years, Prince
has garnered seven Grammys, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award.
Aside from producing his own
works, Prince serves as a "talent promoter" for the careers of other
musical artists. He has displayed the talents of Sheila E., Carmen Electra, Vanity
6, and others.
True to the changeable nature
of the sign of Gemini, Prince has adopted several names over the course of his
career. “The Love Symbol,” represented one of his more popular names; it
combines the symbol of Mars (male) with the symbol of Venus (female). Because
the symbol did not lend itself to pronunciation, he adopted “The Artist
Formerly Known as Prince,” and “The Artist.”

Born June
19, 1945
Human rights and pro-democratic
activist Aung San Suu Kyi gained worldwide recognition and respect for her nonviolent
struggle against the dictatorial government of Burma (Myanmar). After speaking
out against Burma’s political leader U Ne Win in
1988, Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest by the government in 1989.
Except for brief intermittent periods, Aung San Suu Kyi remained imprisoned
until November 2010, for a total of nearly 15 years.
Born on June 19, 1945 to a
Burmese political leader and his diplomat wife, Aung San Suu Kyi was the only
daughter of three children. Her father, General Aung San, played a leadership
role in negotiating Burma’s independence from British rule in 1947. That same
year, a rival group feared his impending rise to the office of Prime Minister,
and orchestrated his assassination. Aung San Suu Kyi was only two years old at
the time of her father’s death.
Aung San Suu Kyi’s mother,
Khin Ky, continued her career in diplomacy, and in 1960, she was appointed
Ambassador to India. Aung San Suu Kyi continued her education in India,
followed by higher education studies at the University of Oxford in England. In
the United Kingdom, she married Michael Aris and gave birth to two children, leading
a quiet life for several years.
In 1988, Aung San Suu Kyi returned
to her native country to care for her ailing mother. At that time, thousands of
workers and monks were taking to the streets to demand democratic reform. Observing
the mass slaughter of protesters, she helped found the National League for
Democracy (NLD). Drawing upon the philosophies of Martin Luther King and
Mahatma Gandhi, she travelled around the country calling for peaceful
democratic reform and free elections at organized rallies. Her outspoken
opposition to government policies led to her arrest. The government offered her
release contingent upon her leaving the country. Aung San Suu Kyi refused to
leave until the government reverted to civilian rule and imprisoned protesters
were released. In the 1990 elections, the NLD won 80% of the seats in the
country’s Parliament, but the government refused to acknowledge these results.
In the following years, Aung
San Suu Kyi experienced personal challenges. Her husband was diagnosed with
terminal prostate cancer in 1997, and the Burmese government refused to allow
him entry so that Aung San Suu Kyi could care for him. She feared leaving the
country, because she knew she could be refused reentry. Despite pleas from Pope
John Paul II and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, the Burmese government held steadfast
in denying Michael Aris’ entry into the country. He died in 1999, without
having seen his wife since 1995.
Throughout her detention,
groups in the international community demonstrated strong support. Aung San Suu
Kyi was awarded the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize for serving as "an outstanding
example of the power of the powerless.” The United Nations repeatedly called
her detention unlawful, and sent representatives to meet with her. Buddhist
monks brought worldwide attention to Burma when they led anti-government
protests in 2009. Various governments called for her release, and in November
2010, this action came to fruition.
In April of 2012, Aung San
Suu Kyi formally became a “leader of the opposition” by winning a seat in the
lower house of Parliament. Her NLD party, which won 43 of 45 contested seats,
debated whether to take their oaths of office, because the wording of the
oaths. However, the NLD winners determined that it would be more beneficial to
proceed with their induction as lawmakers rather than to boycott their office
on principle.
Consistent with her Gemini
nature, Aung San Suu Kyi enjoys writing. While raising her children, she began
researching and preparing drafts of a biography of her father, completed in
1984. The following year, she released her work “Let’s Visit Burma,” geared to
a youth audience. In 1987, she published "Socio-Political Currents in
Burmese Literature, 1910-1940" in a journal of Tokyo University. While
under house arrest, Penguin published her works, Freedom from Fear in 1991 and Voice
of Hope in 1997.
Here is but one of her many
calls to action:
“I
would therefore like to call upon those who have an interest in expanding their
capacity for promoting intellectual freedom and humanitarian ideals to take a
principled stand against companies that are doing business with the Burmese
military regime. Please use your liberty to promote ours.”
(From her article “Please Use
Your Liberty to Promote Ours,” International Herald Tribune, February 4, 1997)
If the positive trend
continues in Burma, the world will be hearing more from Aung San Suu Kyi. In
May 2012, the Burmese government issued her a passport.
