After the deep embodiment and resistance of Taurus season, Gemini invites us into curiosity, conversation, and movement. It’s a time to open the windows — literally and energetically — and let new ideas circulate. A playful yet powerful mental shift that sets the tone for a dynamic few weeks. We explore what gemini can offers us: flexibility, perspective, and adaptability — especially in the face of major energetic changes ahead. The transits covered in this episode signal both inspiration and intensity. Venus and Mars dance in fire signs, the Sun connects to Neptune and Pluto, and Mercury is about to awaken in its home sign — Gemini. We also feel the weight and promise of Saturn entering Aries, a major collective shift we’ll unpack more in a special episode next week ;)
