Gemini Season: Approaching the Summer Solstice

Despite the recent curveball life has thrown your way, this Gemini season is all about planting your heels firmly in the earth and grounding yourself in a place that feels a little more like home. Re-examining the familiar is a good way to get back in touch with the forgotten wisdom that has guided you through earlier stages of your life, but make sure that you’re not returning to old ways of being which no longer serve you. “Out with the old, in with the new” doesn’t have to mean you let go of everything you once saw value in. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water!

Romance this season might not be as fiery as you’d hoped, but there is something to be gained from a period of rest. The opportunity for self-reflection is abundant, and you’re learning that the best way to care for others is to start by caring for yourself. You may be eager to prioritize the needs of others, but don’t let a desire to be liked disconnect you from what you know needs to be done for you to feel fulfilled yourself. Patience is a virtue, and there is wisdom in relaxing into a period of waiting. Permit yourself to enjoy the time in between.

Be mindful of your internal monologue as the summer solstice approaches. Your perceptive abilities are keen this month, but you can be a little hard on yourself. If you’re struggling to find all of the answers, pay close attention to the words of an independent thinker. The lesson may be right in front of you, but it can be hard to see when you’re closing your eyes. Look around you, you will soon remember that there are many things to be grateful for. One on those things is yourself.

If you are not making time for creative outlets, you may feel like your energy is blocked. Inertia may be the result of indecision, and despondency could be the result of unexpressed emotion. The right time to start a new project is right now. Don’t let self-doubt get in the way of your passions, especially when your creativity can be used to connect with others. Progress is much more important than perfection. Don’t be idealistic. To experience breakthrough, you must break old habits. The excitement you’re seeking will come in the form of a new perspective. Get ready to feel refreshed.

A little competition can be healthy, but you need to make sure you’ve got a common goal in mind so you’re not just being combative. Make a list of the goals you’re trying to accomplish before you lose sight of the bigger picture. Good sportsmanship means accepting all losses as opportunities for improvement and encouraging the growth of your teammates. Know the value of surrounding yourself with people who are growing, and celebrate all victories. It’s your time to shine, but let others have their moment too. There’s no limit to how bright the world can be.

Though you’re not approaching much conventionally these days, now is a good time to surround yourself with tried and true comforts. A film from your past might re-open the door to a version of yourself that you’d do well to borrow from. Plan a movie date for one, and treat yourself the way you’d treat your best friend. You’ve got a lot to learn from yourself. Start asking the right questions.

As Gemini season comes to a close, prepare to enter a transitional stage. You will find yourself in a more favourable position in life when you change what you believe about yourself. Be sure to acknowledge these improvements. Profound movement will take place.
