What does Gemini season mean to us? Gemini is a talkative and changeable sign who likes to communicate with others. This year from May 20 to June 20, the Sun is in Gemini. So it’s an exciting time of year because now we should feel like we can safely turn off the central heating for a few months and start hanging the laundry outside. Yes, come May, we dust off our winged sandals and become more mobile.
Now is the time to come out of hibernation and become very social. Gemini is an air sign and loves to flit from flower to flower, flirting like crazy. As we enter June, any enforced social distancing will be intolerable for affectionate Geminis. Now we are all eager to get busy again.
The meaning of Gemini season
Gemini rules local travel and community, so it definitely requires social networking. But we’re not talking online, because Geminis have a very keen sense of touch. Internet friends and Zoom chats are just for Aquarius…in contrast, Gemini, with its wild gestures, wants to poke and prod all the wiggly parts of you.
So what does this season bring in terms of nature? Traditional flowers for Gemini are lavender and lily of the valley. Because the fragrance of lavender can permeate a large area, the plant itself spreads far and wide, facing in all directions, just like the constellation Gemini!
Gemini Communication
May’s birthday flower, lily of the valley, is protected by the Greek Hermes and the Roman Mercury, so it’s perfectly suited for Gemini season. Its sweet little flowers resemble bells, and the flower itself is associated with purity and chastity. It has a very childlike and innocent feel to it. Gemini is typically a very young sign, and now we’re in a very fertile, marriageable time of year when everything is in bloom.
Gemini falls between the festivals that span the seasons, so there are no pagan festivals to reference during this season. We are waiting for the Summer Solstice and Litha, which I will talk about next month. The crystals associated with Gemini season are those that support the Throat Chakra. Mercury retrograde is the ideal time to heal the blockage around your throat and speak your truth! Wearing Amazonite, Turquoise, Aquamarine or Lapis Lazuli around your neck can release blocks and fears surrounding expression.
Goddess Hebe
Gemini is the most childish of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is said that people with Gemini rising exude youthfulness. The most resonant goddess during Gemini season is Hebe. Hebe is also associated with the concepts of eternal youth and rejuvenation. As the embodiment of youthful fertility, she symbolizes the eternal cycle of life, growth and renewal. In some myths, she is described as having the power to rejuvenate the elderly, providing them with the opportunity to regain their vitality and vitality.
Hebe’s eternal youth is also associated with Hebephilia, a unique sexual preference for those who have passed puberty but are still legally minors. Pedophilia is often confused with pedophilia, an attraction to pre-pubescent children. This tendency was prevalent in the Middle Ages and was characterized by shorter lifespans and children from wealthy or aristocratic backgrounds being betrothed in infancy and then married in adolescence. Hebe embodies an appeal that is rooted in biology, albeit limited by social norms and changing cultural standards. Gemini season, of course, is at the intersection between spring and summer, when our fertility is growing rapidly and reaching its peak of flowering, much like young people entering puberty.
