Turning Sh#t into fuel in Gemini season

Gemini Season & The Sacred Dance of duality: Balancing the Light and Shadow Within May 20 – June 20, 2025

We’ve moved into Gemini Season with the New Moon in Gemini sitting at 6° Gemini, with Mercury thrown in. The New Moon in Gemini happened yesterday and the sun sign also in Gemini gives us a massive dose of Gemini energy. At this time you are either on your way to the Summer or Winter Solstice. We have a double dose of the chameleon energy of Gemini. This is a time to ground our energy into things that matter. Gemini is an air sign they may get bored easily and stop and start things but this season we’re going to reduce some of that blowing with the wind energy by making well thought out moves. Gemini is all about the party baby, and you better have something good planned or she’s off. Gemini represents 2 faces of the same coin like Osiris and Set, when the light falls on the coin we see Osiris bathed in light, Osiris is bathed in light and Set is in darkness. Set is that part of us that secretly revels in that whoe is me attitude, set says everyone should bow to me and then he throw a sissy fit when those in the light don’t comply. It is in our darkest moments that we can often see the light more clearly. As we move through Gemini season this is a time to put yourself out there in the spaces with the people that enrich your soul. For some of us we may be going through a difficult time or dealing with difficult emotions but this Season encourages us to take that extra 5 or 10 minutes to just play in the sand, or to feel that blade of grass, or to just bask in the sun or walk bare foot on the earth. This season is asking us to be open to bringing the fun into our social gatherings through bringing play and joy into our relationships. This is also a time to think about how we can give the experience of joy to others to those in our circle. The more muck we feel coming up in our lives the more we should feed fun and positive moments into our lives like a balancing of the light and dark within and within our external circumstances. It’s when we just stay in the shadows that things can feel so bleak. Even the dark goddesses only spend a certain amount of time in the Underworld or Netherworld, they go there to alchemise their sh#t.

As the Sun journeys through Gemini from May 20 to June 20, we are invited into the temple of duality, of holding both the Lightness and the darkness and loving it all as stepping stones to a better version of us. Life is happening for us not to us and each moment of darkness has a nugget of wisdom and a lesson for us. We learn the lesson we have no need for the Dark moment and it is transformed into light. As we hold space for our dark moments and allow ourselves to just feel our feelings and to release them we allow space for more light to come into our lives and our bodies. Geminis key words are communication, curiosity, and self-reflection. Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is often portrayed as the sign of the twins—symbolizing two aspects of the self. This season carries both lightness and depth: the play of ideas, the movement of thought, and the unraveling of the dual nature within us.

This year, the Gemini New Moon falls on May 26th and the energies are strongest through to 29th May, 2025. These energies intensify this theme of duality and offer a potent energetic portal for setting intentions around balance, integration, and inner union. The Sun and Moon aligning in Gemini reflect the merging of conscious and unconscious, logic and intuition, voice and silence. It is a moment of initiation into sacred self-knowing.

Two Sides of the Same Divine Coin

Gemini’s twins are more than opposites—they are reflections of the both/and principle. This duality can be seen in the sacred archetypes of ancient Egypt: Hathor and Sekhmet, two aspects of the same goddess. Hathor, radiant with joy, sensuality, beauty, and music, expresses the light, while Sekhmet, fierce and protective, represents shadow and righteous fire. Similarly, Isis and Nephthys embody the sisterhood of life and death, presence and absence, form and formlessness.

These goddess pairs teach us that light is not superior to dark, and joy is not separate from grief. Rather, they dance together in the eternal rhythm of divine balance. This echoes the teachings of Maat, the ancient Egyptian principle of truth, justice, and cosmic harmony. Maat is not simply about morality—it is about equilibrium, the sacred order of opposites held in perfect proportion.

It’s time to accept and love it all as the tapestry of our lives each moment becomes a strand in our story, how we interpret the story is up to us.

Working with the Gemini New Moon & Sun Energy

The Gemini New Moon offers a powerful opportunity to reset our inner narrative. Under its energy, we can choose new ways of speaking, thinking, and understanding ourselves. It supports sacred communication with the soul and with others. It encourages adaptability, curiosity, and deeper listening—not only to the mind but also to the heart. During this time we can take a look at the conflicting parts of ourselves and our minds, our internal saboteur. As you decide which projects, events, and gatherings you wish to participate in keep an eye and an ear out for your inner saboteur. You might heat your inner saboteur trying to limit you as to exactly how much time you have, how much fun your allowed to have, who your allowed to have it with or your 2 faced saboteur might even begin to run a programme or dialogue in your mind about why people like you can’t go to the horse races or hire a jacuzzi (just saying haha) watch out for that Debbie downer which is another name I have for her. Give your saboteur a name, know that it is just your Subconscious mind trying to keep you safe. We only have one life to live and yes we came with a purpose and part of that purpose I believe is to fully experience life so run naked into that body of water if it makes you feel alive, take time out to live to just enjoy the little moments. When the sh#t comes in you will be so well nourished on life that the sh#t will become fertiliser or fuel, spurring you on with even more energy.

The Sun in Gemini offers vitality to the mental realms, and when harmonized, it can uplift our expression, creativity, and alignment with divine intelligence. But if unbalanced, this energy may scatter our focus or create inner division.

This is the time to ground your thoughts in the heart and let your words become vessels of clarity, not confusion. Decide how you want to feel and create moments to feel those feelings. Be flexible as to how you experience those feelings of joy the unexpected moments can sometimes be the best. Give yourself permission to express your needs, explore what you really want to feel and experience and then communicate this to those that matter in your life. Be prepared to bring these experiences into your life by yourself if others are not as keen as you.

Three Questions to Reflect On During Gemini Season:

  1. Where am I being called to unify seemingly opposing aspects of myself?
    (This might involve balancing softness and strength, intellect and intuition, voice and silence.)
  2. What stories or thoughts am I repeating that no longer align with my deeper truth?
    (Gemini season offers a chance to rewrite the script with compassion.)
  3. How can I embody both light and shadow in a way that honours Maat—inner harmony, truth, and sacred order?
    (This might mean reclaiming your voice, or acknowledging where balance needs to be restored.)

Final Reflection

Gemini season is not just about mental stimulation or outward busyness. It is a spiritual invitation to walk the path of the divine mirror—to see all parts of yourself reflected back through life’s interactions, and to reclaim the fullness of who you are. Let the New Moon be a gateway into wholeness. Let the Solstice bring clarity to what you are ready to grow, embody, and express.

Seek to make peace with all parts of yourselves and recognise that the light and dark is a natural part of life. Find your own harmony this season. May your inner Isis and Nephthys and your inner Hathor and Sekhmet walk together. May your words become spells of healing, and your silence a well of wisdom. And may the twins within you finally meet—not as rivals, but as sacred reflections of your soul’s radiant truth.
