The Twins Inspire Connection
And Curiosity

What the Sun in Gemini means for your zodiac sign

by Emily Trinkaus

Ruled by Mercury -- the wing-footed messenger god -- airy Gemini is the connector and communicator of the zodiac, circulating ideas and information. Whether you're a Gemini, a fellow Air sign like Libra or Aquarius, or one of the nine other signs of the zodiac, you'll definitely feel this fast-paced, flirty influence as it gets lit up by the Sun!

The Sun's visit to the zodiac sign of the Twins inspires your curiosity about the people and places around you, and opens your mind to new perspectives and possibilities. The challenge is to extend yourself without losing focus, scattering your energy and overtaxing your mind.

Luckily, we just came out of Mercury Retrograde on May 11, which means we'll be able to enjoy Gemini's famously speedy pace with less threat of confusion (Mercury Retrograde -- or its apparent backward movement -- can often result in mistakes, oversights and miscommunications). It's still important to double-check the details, but you can definitely feel free to absorb this Air sign's energy and allow it to inspire you to launch a new project or commit to a long-term plan -- as long as you feel you have all the facts. (Luckily, Gemini loves collecting facts!)

Find out what the Gemini Sun means for your zodiac sign:

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
In your 3rd House of Learning, the Sun stirs your desire to explore a new subject or acquire a new skill. Take time to define your priorities and consider what information you really need to move toward your long-term goals -- with your key planet, action-loving Mars, moving direct, and Mercury inspiring us to move forward, it's time to get the education you need to fulfill a dream or community project you want to launch.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
The Sun in your 2nd House of Finances invites you to explore new sources of income and focus on building your base of security. Seek out different perspectives on money management and prosperity consciousness by talking with friends, taking a class or reading a book or blog. You should feel the push to think big, and Gemini's bold influence can inspire you to take calculated risks to follow your inspiration!

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Happy Birthday, Gemini! The return of the Sun to your 1st House of Self represents a time of personal renewal and new beginnings. Pay special attention to what inspires you, and commit to freeing up more space for pursuing your passions -- hopefully with key planet Mercury in reverse recently, you had time to reflect on what it is you want to do. In fact, you've probably had time to reevaluate your past and reconsider who you want to be. During your birthday month, give yourself permission to make a change, reinvention or total transformation!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
The Sun slips into your 12th House of Endings, marking the close of your personal yearly cycle -- a time for resting, retreating and regenerating. Take time to reflect on what you've created, and pay attention to your dreams for clues about the new vision that wants to come forward. The recent Mercury Retrograde should've given you a few helpful hints about the parts of your past that need mending, so explore your thoughts on deeper levels of intimacy and see what kind of roadblocks you may have to clear in order to receive love and support from others.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
In your 11th House of Groups and Friends, the Gemini Sun stimulates your social life and signifies an auspicious time for networking. Reaching out and connecting with your community feeds your vitality and attracts support for reaching your goals. You may form tighter bonds -- or even begin new friendships -- that will ultimately allow you to achieve your dream job or go full-force after a project you've wanted to launch. Let the info you just received from the recent Mercury Retrograde show you where you need to work on releasing old love-related wounds to open your heart to a new romantic partnership.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
The Sun in your 10th House of Career calls for taking concrete steps toward reaching your goals. Projects that involve marketing, sales, writing and teaching are especially favored as your fellow Mercury-ruled sign, Gemini, is highlighted. Think of any bad habits that Mercury Retrograde recently put in the spotlight, especially things like lifestyle and finances. Work through these so you can achieve more worldly ambitions!
