Thoughts for the day:
The twin-ness of Gemini is interesting. The Lovers Card, which Gemini rules, has a man and a woman, two genders standing side by side with an angel above them. The woman is looking to the angel and the man is looking to the woman – both asking for guidance.
The parts of the body that Gemini rules are also in pairs, arms, hands, shoulders, lungs, collar bones, upper ribs. Every pair is a twin within our two sided body. Is one side better than the other? No, both are needed if we are to truly enjoy life.
We often fall into traps by seeing or experiencing different aspects of something, believing that each aspect is really separate from the others. This is the primary illusion that the human mind has taken as true. We live with this illusion until we have had enough suffering and then our heart begins to look upwards for answers, just like the woman in the Lovers card. So the heart has a responsibility (after receiving guidance from the spiritual realm) to guide the mental aspect (the man in the card) back to the Truth.
Our longing for Love guides us. Love brings the two-ness back into wholeness. This illusion of separateness may be necessary so that through the appearance of ‘otherness’ we begin to consciously seek unity, the Oneness behind the illusion. With Gemini we begin to train our mind to see the illusion of separateness as an illusion and the reality of Oneness as the Truth.
