Cancer | Gemini Season 2025
The Universal Overlay
Gemini Season | May 20 - June 20
The end of spring in the astrological calendar arrives with Gemini Season. It contains mutable energy to tie up loose ends. It taps into dynamism to find solutions and variety to generate possibility. It is an air sign, adding the energy of mind, tension, speed, and lightness. In short, it's a season to tie up the self-oriented agenda of spring, of figuring out what we want, why, and how to get it. Pollination occurs as we jet around to see what others are doing and bounce ideas off each other. We notice where we currently do and don't fit—we can feel a resonance through what we identify with or not and what seems to invite us in or not.
Move around and find resonant minds, peers, and communities. Find where you fit naturally. Let this help inform what currently feels authentic in you. Generate ideas with others. Bounce possibilities around, experiment, and try things without committing. Notice colors that express out of you—threads of light connecting you with others and harmonizing inner tensions. Stay flexible this season. Don't beat yourself up if you aren't the brightest mind in the room or feel people aren't interested in you. Be observant and recognize when your mind lights up the minds of others and vice versa. Seek resonant minds—those who think about similar things and in similar ways.
Where Gemini is in our chart indicates where we can get wrapped up in pointing fingers, entrenched in confirmation bias silos. This isn't necessarily done as a way to blame-shift. Instead, it stems from Gemini’s intelligence, which allows us to comprehend the intricate workings of the world. We observe the detailed effects of external factors on ourselves and our surroundings. The instinct can arise to cancel, name call, channel our inner mean girl, and judge (there's a bit of a teenage spirit this season). While it’s tempting to point fingers at potentially true or even necessary matters, it doesn't help us to mature. I’m not suggesting you completely avoid this behavior (I do it myself). However, be mindful of when you become bogged down in petty gossip or rely too much on external validation (hello The substance). Notice when you've become distracted around accountability for your personal growth and goals.
In summary, stay light and non-commital. Flirt with life, and try on different ways, people, and communities. Find your social resonance and a clearer sense of identity. Push your mind, learn new things, ask questions, and stay curious. Most of all, have fun. Find where and with whom you have a lighthearted good time and say yes to more of it. Be flexible, open-minded, and engage in kind self-speak as you iron out inner tensions. How the Season Activates You
Your Dimensional Growth
Sun In 12th House | otherworldly stimulation
As the Sun moves through the signs and houses, it shines a light on a dimension of you. This helps you to become well-rounded and develop holistically.
As the Sun brightly moves into Gemini, it illuminates your mystical 12th house, an area of your chart that exists in the shadows yet holds inspiration and otherworldly portals. Gemini in this sector brings forth highly communicative energy in more ethereal realms. You may converse with spirit guides or frequently receive downloads of information. There is abundant stimulation for you in realms beyond your own.
While your connection to something more subtle is vibrant, the way you communicate lags just behind you, making it hard to witness. You may not realize how your communications impact others, but you might sense psychic communication, knowing what another is thinking before they articulate it (or even if they never express it). There is a nebulous energy surrounding your mind that renders it both brilliant and confusing. Allow your mind extra time to settle when you seek clarity or need to communicate something you're puzzled by. Express art through words and convey spiritual messages with a lighthearted compassion.
Last year’s Gemini New Moon seeds held refresh energy in them. It’s been a year of purging old spiritual or mystical interests with new inspired connections starting to make their way to you. We again have refresh energy in this year’s Gemini New Moon (May 26th at 9:02 pm MT). Continue to sweep away the cobwebs of past spiritual and artistic threads to make space for new wiring into bustling otherworldly realms. Explore corals under the surface of the ocean at some point in the coming year to revive your spiritual brightness.
The animating guide of The Season
MErcury in 11th, 12th & 1st Houses | communicative dreamer
Mercury is the ruling body of the season, the archetype of our messenger and trickster. This aspect of ourselves will activate to respond to Gemini Season’s tone and circumstances, guide our actions, and give us a stance, or mythic script, in how we evolve, develop, engage life, and express.
The ruler of the season can show us more about how the energies are being directed. Mercury starts off a step behind the Sun in your 11th house, busy weaving possibilities for your communicative artistry in the sphere of collaboration and innovation.
A few days in, on May 25th, Mercury will join the Sun in your 12th house of dreams. Mercury is in a curious mood on top of being in curious-prone Gemini, doubling down on trenching as many pathways of possibility as it can. Let go into the realm of fantasy. Read, write, watch, and make messages originating from flow states. Let your mind be light and dreamy. Open it to pollinating thoughts and curiosity beyond our world.
On May 29/30, as Mercury drops behind the Sun (Cazimi), your mental sensitivity meets with vulnerability. This will inspire you to focus your mystical and artistic curiosity in more specific ways, connecting to depth and maturity so your lively dreams have stable ground to stand on.
On June 8th, Mercury will glide out of your dream space and into your own sign, Cancer. You could experience impulse and clarity around making your dreams more tangible. So often, our dreams stay in the dream realm, but you have a window to bring them into reality through your soulful and nourishing impulses. Give life to an otherworldly friend by making them a character in an enchanting short story shared with the world.
Your Ground and Materialization of the Season
Earth in 6th House | Sacred Soothing
In tandem with dimensional growth in our solar season, Earth’s placement, directly opposite the Sun’s reach and exerting energy, shows the dimension of us that has become the fertile ground maturing underfoot. It’s normal to feel like our efforts in a solar season aren’t paying off, but they will, in time, when that sign becomes the Earth’s sign, the ground holding us, embodied and tangible. Look to the Earth sign to tend to what is maturing and growing in your roots and soul, that needs you to be receptive and caring.
Opposite the Sun’s energy, which inspires us to reach and make an effort in life, the Earth shows where we can turn to feel held and soothe our frayed nerves. Across the zodiac from Gemini, Earth traverses the sign of expansive Sagittarius, the sign we turn toward at night.
Find grounding this season through a sense of your own wholeness—how your daily processes, rhythms, work, and lifestyle little by little lead to abundance around your purpose in life expanding, optimism around wellbeing, and philosophical systems that produce results. Notice what is starting to feel deeply sacred, pure, and whole in your life’s ecosystems that are created through small, yet boundary-pushing, daily efforts.
Around the Sagittarius Full Moon on June 11th, turn to your inner world. Daydream and journal about how your lively connection to the otherworldly and your visionary sense of the practical support one another’s reach at different times of the year.
Personal & Continuous aims
Your Radiant becoming
PHASE OF Cancer’s YEARLY SEEDS | Transforming & Aiming
Separate from the Sun shining a light on our different dimensions through the signs and houses, we have another solar journey—a spiral journey of Conscious Evolution and Radiant Becoming—the path of illumination. I track this journey from your sign’s new moon to its next new moon, with a formula that’s a bit my own.
As you step into Gemini Season, your yearly Cancer seeds are in a phase of transformation. You may be investigating, digging into the psyche, or entangling with others to feel more empowered around your sense of depth and security in life. Things are in reboot mode, but some hidden tendencies might need to be uprooted so they aren’t taken into the new chapter you are creating foundations for.
Around June 4th, a new phase of growth will start to unfurl. Hope and belief are tapped after a lot of deep and mysterious work. It’s time to find an aim and vision for how you might expand your imagination or push the boundaries of your passionate nurturing so that you can bring greatness into a new chapter of being secure in your sense of Self.
Your Archetypal Journey
Luna | Pollinating Depth
With Luna being the planet that rules your sign, she represents your archetype—a leading character flavor. This cosmic body is a central part of how you show up and your personal agenda. We go on journeys in the skin of our archetypes, like leading characters in books and films. Your ruler, the Moon, is the Mother, the Hearth-Keeper, and the Historian.
With Luna being your planetary ruler, and because it moves signs every 2.5 days, it’s difficult to pinpoint specifics about your agenda over the course of a whole season. Tune into the Ebb and Flow blog post in the Seasonal Overview section to (generally) note when your moods will be high, low, or more neutral.
One main thing that can be used to find cohesive threads in your ruler’s agenda is to note that the moon is always reflecting the Sun’s light, and in Gemini Season, that means a quality of light received from this busy sign’s energy.
As your ruler moves through each sign of the zodiac, find insights and reflections that bring a quality of versatility, curiosity, and dimensionality to the sign the moon is in.
For instance, when the moon travels through Scorpio, focus on profound insights regarding the wiring of the psyche, the intelligence of power, and the connectivity of intimacy. This season, notice how your mind makes you feel, the kinds of communications and communities that make you feel acceptance, fun, and a like-mindedness. Notice the way staying open and curious lightens your moods. Notice the tipping points of when too many threads overstimulate you and when not enough open tabs of inquiry make life a little dull. Notice how emotions affect your mind and how your mind affects emotions. Anchor in nourishing insights around the mind.
