Gemini Season Book Recommendations (May 20th – June 20th): The (Quick) Thinker & The Trickster
Keywords & Gemini in a Nutshell (including a bit of technical stuff)
Gemini, the cosmic twins, one human and one divine, of the zodiac is a sign associated with quick thinking, sardonic wit, and the questioning mind: Who am I? Why am I here? What shall I do with my life? Gemini folks tend to be highly intellectual, as the sign is ruled by the planet Mercury, associated with the mind and communication. However, they tend to be generalists rather than specialists. We need a bit of both in the world, don’t you think?
This sign is an air sign, which like Mercury connects it to mental and intellectual pursuits. “I think, therefore I am”, the old aphorism attributed to the Enlightenment-era French philosopher, Descartes, perfectly encapsulates the nature of Gemini. The fact that this sign, like Pisces, is mutable contributes to the jack of all trades quality of Geminis, who move from one idea to the next like pollinators moving between flowers (an apt metaphor for late spring into early summer…a.k.a. Gemini season). In a more positive light, these folks can be thought of as polymaths and/or Renaissance men/women/people (to be gender inclusive but acknowledging that historically, due to the reality of our extremely patriarchal past in the Western world, these folks were almost always white men).
