Hello friends!
Spring is moving quickly, and this week brings the close of some Taurus energy. Taurus, a Fixed Earth sign, helps you put down roots and build toward the goals and blessings you want to manifest.
Aries may have offered ideas and opportunities earlier, Taurus had you focused on getting work done, and now Gemini energy picks up momentum. This week Mercury and the Sun leave Taurus and enter the Mutable Air sign Gemini.
Mercury, ruler of Gemini, feels at home in this sign but can also speed things up to the point of distraction. Expect more paperwork, text messages, and emails than usual. As summer plans start to form, your thoughts may seem scattered under Gemini’s dual nature. You may have more frazzled moments, but if you steer toward productive habits, you’ll accomplish a lot. Take each day and each conversation step by step. This shift begins Tuesday.
On Wednesday the Sun joins Mercury in Gemini and remains there for about four weeks. Happy birthday, Gemini! With the Sun illuminating this dual sign, energy accelerates and you may find yourself wearing many hats. At times you could forget which role you’re playing, so careful planning and clear strategy will help. Be mindful of duplicity in conversations and situations, but also enjoy being social and adaptable—your mood may change from one moment to the next, and that variety can be energizing.
We’re coming off a recent Full Moon, so you may feel ready to launch new projects while carrying some of that clearing, refreshing energy. As Gemini’s influence grows, stay aware of its more contradictory tendencies, but welcome the lively variety life offers. When you act with integrity and good intentions, this period can be an enjoyable and productive ride.
Happy birthday, Gemini!
