Welcome to Gemini Season: The Time of Communication
As the Sun enters Gemini on May 21st, we transition from Taurus' grounded stability into air's dynamic movement. Gemini season (May 21 - June 20) is a time of communication, learning, connection, and mental activation. This is when late spring transitions to early summer, and we're called to share our ideas, connect with others, and explore new perspectives.
The Energy of Gemini Season
During these vibrant weeks, the collective energy shifts toward:
- Communication and expression: Speaking your truth and sharing ideas
- Learning and curiosity: Exploring new subjects and perspectives
- Social connection: Networking, collaborating, and building community

- Versatility: Embracing change and trying new approaches
