Astrology Musings for Gemini Season
Gemini walks on the tightrope between it all. This sign speaks about duality, represented by yin/yang, twins, and lovers. Gemini also brings about themes of learning, communication, and synergy. The sun will be illuminating this air sign from May 20th until June 21st. This season rules our nervous systems, this is your invitation to allow yourself to feel a full range of emotions. Truly be with sadness, bathe in joy, and sit with the truth of how you are feeling in your body. Ensure you have tools to regulate, tea and essential oils can be helpful for this. We find ourselves in a space of new growth, internally, and so abundantly in nature. Stay gentle and curious.
Find your ascendent (rising sign) below for some words more personal to you, and explore the essential oil we’ve chosen for your sign. Come into the store to smell the essential oil tester and see what feelings the scent evokes, we can incorporate it into a room mist or roll-on if you like.
