Starting mid-May, visions of beaches, pool parties, backyard BBQs, and vibrant fireworks start dancing in our heads. With summer right around the corner, opportunities to socialize and relax under the sun’s sweet warmth are abundant. So it’s quite fitting that a season marked by the desire to both chill out and seize every moment, also occurs at the same time the sun moves through dualistic Gemini.
From May 21 to June 21, the sun moves through the mutable air sign Gemini, ruler of the third house and the realm of language, self-expression, early environment and childhood, sibling relationships, community, and short-distance travel. Gemini’s ruling planet Mercury oversees all things related to communication, information-gathering, transportation, and technology. These energies combine during Gemini season, promoting connection (above all else) with friends, family, colleagues. It also inspires adventure and curiosity—road trips, learning, and more.

Known for their dualistic and communicative nature, Geminis can come off as energetic and curious one minute, then cool and distant the next. They’re also the mutable one of the air sign crew, making their moods especially changeable. At the same time, they can be flexible, open-minded, and downright insatiable when it comes to seeking intellectual stimulation. They’re naturally style-conscious and socially adept, capable of not only adopting the latest trends in fashion, technology, and social media, but being true trailblazers in these Gemini power areas, too. Innately adaptable and playful, it’s no wonder why late spring inspires daydreams of switching up tried-and-true routines for impromptu fun, exploration, and a packed social calendar.
That said, Gemini season has a knack for stimulating your thirst for embarking on new frontiers and making your wildest fantasies a reality. Here’s what each sign should focus on this season to fuel their imaginations. (Be sure to read your rising sign, too!)

While the sun moves through your twelfth house of spirituality, you may be tempted to retreat into your crab shell, isolating yourself from others as you reflect on emotional wounds.
