Gemini: Fairy messengers bridging polarities
Gemini in astrology and human design, Jupiter in Gemini for 2024-25, Gemini Season 20May-20June
If you’re an Indian like me, you might have most likely grown up watching shows based on indian religious texts like Mahabharata, Ramayana or Shivpuran. In all these mythological shows, it’s not a myth though, there is one character which is very common. This is Narad Muni. He has access to all realms and he can take different shapes and forms and disguise himself into different characters according to situations. He is basically a messenger whose job is to take information and circulate it from one place to another. I still wonder if it is his official job because many times people are not very pleased to see their information being circulated around. There is always a humour and sass that comes with Narad Muni’s delivery of messages - lol, reminds me of Gossip girl and pretty much all the tabloids. In spite of his reputation to be somewhat mischievous and sometimes troublesome, he never loses access to his privileges or his cute banter with the gods. In fact, many times even the confusion stirred by Narad Muni leads Gods and central characters of the show to their destiny. What is also interesting is that he is dearest to Lord Vishnu -the ultimate CEO of all realms.
So that makes me think, hmm, as much as we, the philosophers and writers and deep intellects and thinkers of the world, would want to shame this energy and see it as frivolous, aren’t we cut out of that same fabric?
Aren’t we also leaving trails of riddles to lead everyone to their destiny?
And above all, maybe, there is a place for this confusion, this trickery, this mischievous energy to lead our central characters back to their home.
Welcome to Gemini Season.
As I become more chatty and my sister more irritated with my chattiness, I see Gemini Season knocking on my door asking me to come out of my closed doors and share that stirring curiosity and intellect with the world. I know this month I am gonna be all over the place chattering and sprinkling my two cents on every thread and video and medium, haha! I am already loving substack notes and I have some genius intentions to write in more exciting places this month.
What’s also super interesting is that Jupiter is entering Gemini for the next year - so I think it’d be lovely for all of us to sit down for this article because this is our vibe for one full year until June 2025 (!!).
As a Gemini Midheaven, I love this energy for my work. It is extremely productive, I do not have to think about what I need to talk about, what I say or not, because by the time I’d reach to conclusions, I’d have already published it.
So as you can see it is beautiful if you know where you’re going. If you do not, then this is a very tricky energy that can distract and overstimulate you to the core because then you’re like me this other afternoon - a headless chicken. You would not want to be that. So, please keep your intentions, goals, and to-do lists clear.
Taurus season helped us to get clear on many of those things. Let’s admit, Taurus season held us back. It was forced rest and pause which you’d have only loved if you did not have any air element in your chart. For me, it was lowkey depressing at times. BUT NONETHELESS, NEEDED. God knows I needed to take a long breath before Jupiter moves into Gemini for a whole year. (Wondering what this means for you, listen to your May Readings if you haven’t already).
Respect the curiosity and flow of the moment - that is the Gemini mantra. It loves to dig rabbit holes and that’s how it is one of the most intelligent, well-read signs of the zodiac. They are open, accepting, and even excited about new information. Nothing ticks a Gemini more than a new book, a new course, or a new fact. Ha, they are the best customers for this age of information. If you look up you will find most of the western or younger astrologers have prominent Gemini placements in their chart only because they were open to this information even when there was skepticism around it. If there is one sign in the zodiac we should celebrate for making spirituality trendy (more acceptable!) to the third-dimensional society right now, it’d be our Gemini Kings and Queens trending on TikTok and YouTube.
This is because like the airy messengers, they did not (read - could not) keep this information private and secretive like Scorpios did for eons. They went all out with the mysticism. If you look up mainstream spiritual and astrology books and teachers, you find many of them are by Gemini astrologers.
When I started my spiritual business five years ago, I was surprised how so many of the tarot and spiritual teachers are ‘undercover’ online and offline. It made me mad and tickle at the same time because I did not understand what was to hide. At the time, all information and spiritual knowledge I had gathered wanted to be circulated urgently, and well, loudly. I said so many times in my introduction that I want to make spirituality trendy and cool (sounds cringe now, but I know how important it was to the 25-year-old me to be not seen as weird and well, cringe). So when my contemporaries were going for MBAs and corporate promotions, I was shocking everyone with tarot readings and full moon vibes on every single social media platform right from Instagram to Linkedin. When people looked at me to assume it was a cute hobby I made it bigger and larger with my digital marketing talent - jazzy graphics, workshops, lives, podcast interviews, and whatnot!
Gemini has the talent to market and sell, the talent to write and communicate, and the talent to relate and re-tell. With it’s adaptable, mutable air signature, Gemini takes information from one realm to the other with ease. If you have prominent placements in Gemini in your chart, you are indeed here to bridge the gap between different realms.
When I think of my work, anytime I have tried to niche down, it has failed drastically. Anytime I have tried to stick to cater to a group, I have failed. Time and again I am reminded I am here to merge, blend and unify different realms. When you meet a Gemini, they will introduce you to people from different walks of life. You could meet an addict, a lifeguard, an artist, a CEO, a stock exchange wizard, a banker, a blogger, everyone at this party thrown by a Gemini. A Gemini doesn’t discriminate.
There is no hierarchy or traditional pedestals for a Gemini.
Perhaps this is why, they have a bad reputation. They are not dualistic or flaky - they are simply open minded. They see both sides with ease and understanding. They truly get opposing polarities intellectually. This understanding is shared by another mutable sign in the zodiac, the Pisces. Both have dualities in their representation. The duality is the very nature of this construct. Yin, yang. Shiv-Shakti. Feminine Masculine.
The Lovers card in zodiac represents Gemini, which is the ultimate divine union - as within so without.
Our issue with duality speaks volume about our inability to evolve and accept the very dualistic nature of life and death, black and white, good and bad, heaven and hell, light and shadow.
We are running behind singularity standing in oblivion to the polarity within us.
The Lovers card in tarot or the Ardhanarishvara in Hinduism, both show how the duality we reject outside is the duality we reject inside. This is the core of twin flame unions, of love and of radical self acceptance. The one that can only be bridged by radical, honest, truthful communication.
Every time we blame the Gemini for being dualistic, we are saying that there is a truth that stands invalid just because we cannot see it right now.
Gemini sees both. Gemini is the bridge between the two polarities. What cannot be seen by one can be seen by another. And that other part can illuminate our mind and soul with this other part of the awareness.
Heaven knows communication is the most important medicine for bridging these opposing polarities and understanding. Heaven knows, our modern relationships lack this very honest communication because when we communicate, we are seen and heard fully in our truth. But how can we be fully seen in our truth when we haven’t seen it ourselves?
It is ironic no, how we are connected more than ever before with thousands of communication mediums, yet, not one is utilized for what it was made for: vulnerable, truthful, communication. The kind of communication that pieces the puzzle back together, the kind of communication that feels like a weight lifted off your chest, the kind of communication that can help years of resentment in one moment, the kind of communication that can grant forgiveness and compassion where there was only bitterness and misunderstanding, oh yes, the kind of communication which helps us to understand each other like we crave to be understood and seen and heard.
And so when Jupiter moves into Gemini for the whole of next year, we will be asked to drop our resistance and our attachment to singular truths.
We will be shown options, choices, and multiverses.
If you do not have Gemini placements, this could be difficult to navigate because you will be unable to commit to one thing and might get distracted from all the choices. Practice discernment but at the same time do not clutch to old ways of being. Learn adaptability in this season of life and explore the idea of educating yourself about things you don’t know about instead of rejecting those alternate choices. Gemini season and Gemini periods make excellent students because Gemini never holds back from learning. If you too remain open, you will be surprised to stumble upon unexpected pathways and timelines that you wouldn’t have had the curiosity to take on otherwise.
If you do have prominent Gemini placements in your chart, you will realize at some point that you never had to choose that one thing to commit. You will see your beautiful ability to multi-task and play in different realms. You will finally see this as a blessing instead of a curse. You might really have the chance to attract a lot of luck and abundance by - simply being yourself? It’s a realization where you like oh my god, I do not have to choose between studying or taking a vacation to an exotic spot. I can do and have both somehow! ‘
Most importantly it’s the freedom that this energy brings to the forefront.
Now if you do have prominent Gemini placements, you have at least one of these gates (gift) in your Human Design chart.
Let’s unlock it down below - but in case, you don’t have your HD chart, come grab it for free here!
Gate 20: The Gate of Now
This gate gives you the gift of being present in the now moment and say or do things impromptu that have a magnetic effect on the world outside of you. Think of improv artists, open mics, stand-up comedians - it’s that magnetizing sacral energy that wants to pour in the moment and that’s the magic of it. It’s not a moment before or a moment after. It’s in-the-moment juicy responses which are so charming and charismatic! The perfect Gemini sass, sarcasm and humour.
Gate 16: The Gate of Skills
Gate 16 teaches us that enthusiasm and passion are essential ingredients for developing mastery. This asks for letting go of perfectionism and creating windows of enthusiasm for mastery in a particular skill or talent. If you have this gate, you most likely have a talent or skill that asks you to master it by continuous effort and practice. Your task is here to make this daily practice interesting so that you do not commit it to it out of force but out of enthusiasm and passion.
Gate 35: The Gate of Progress (Change)
Having this gate means that, most likely, you have this hunger and thirst for new experiences. This is because these experiences are meant to teach you and change you on a cellular and energetic level. You make progress in life through these ‘experiences’. However, if you find yourself chasing one after another new experience, it’s important to not get lost in the novelty and remember that experiences mean nothing if you don’t learn from it on a deep, introspective level where you kind of muse on it for days and years and it actually changes you.
Gate 45: The Gate of the Gatherer
If you have this gate, you have the gift of holding spaces and gathering people together to exchange gifts, ideas and talents. Perhaps you have gifts and talents to share and you do it the best in a gathering where people come together. It’s a very community oriented gate and it;s called the Gate of the Kings/Queens which says “I have”. So if you have this gate, ask yourself what do you have that you can share with your community as a resource?
Gate 12: The gate of caution (standstill)
This is the gift of speaking and deep conversations, but only with emotional truth and integrity. If you have this gate, you need to practice caution to not speak when under emotional charge but speak only when you have arrived at a clarity, at a standstill. This is the energy to have conversations that are much deeper than superficial chatter and hence, demand presence, clarity and sensitivity.
Gate 15: The gate of extremes
This is the gift of extreme - think, obsessed with cooking for a month then obsessed with reading for another. Sometimes it may look like going all into practicing yoga for three weeks and then switching up the routine to practice swimming in your morning routines. This is the energy of thriving in extremes. So if you have this gate, enjoy the extremities without shaming yourself for picking up a new practice or quitting an old one when the time is up.
The interesting thing is that even if you do not have any of these gates, in Gemini Season, you will have a chance to experience these energies in some shape or form since everything is so interconnected in our charts. Perhaps you do not have these gates defined but have them hanging, meaning they are connected to another gate that is defined in your chart. This will activate your full channel when Sun transits through these gates. It’s a beautiful opportunity to leverage these gifts at these times.
The reason why I have been writing on each sign for the past eight months is because pop astrology has made us choose singular behaviour and alienate ourselves from other experiences and dualities. Hopefully, when you read about these signs, you find a lost fragment of you in them.
Have you found a lost essence of communication, duality, and enthusiasm in your energy blueprint today? Where do you have Gemini in your chart and how do you connect to Gemini essence in this season and life?

Oh I love the way you write about astrology. It’s so refreshing and beautiful and fun. It makes me want to definitely go back and read more about the other signs.
I especially love the parts about duality. I was reading thinking “this is how I am too.” Then the next line mentioned about how pisces are like this as well and I was like “Oh! 😆”
My mum is a gemini sun and this almost felt like a little love note about her that made me smile. She is definitely chatty, magnetic and sassy. She says things only she can get away with saying haha. She’s also on the cusp of cancer so sometimes I feel like she is a triplet and has three different personalities 😅
I’d love to learn more about human design because the gate about extremes sounds so much like me, I’m now curious if I have that.
So excited to dive into more of your work. You write and share with so much colour and passion 🩷💜🧡
Okay this is so beautiful Jennae ❤️ thank you for your kindest words and thank you for thinking of leaving them here, appreciate it so much 💖 I am so happy those words could help you appreciate your own duality a little more, and your mum's vivacious sass a lot more. I hope you celebrate her magnetism this season! 🤗 Welcome to my world! I hope to see you fall in love with astrology & human design soon, it's been the funnest affair till date hehe 🧚🏼♀️😍
