Gemini relates
to opposites
Cain and Able;
Adam and Eve.
Gemini
relates to the twins. It is the only sign which
relates to people.
Caster
and Polydeuces are associated with the stars to
the constellation of Gemini. They were the sons
of Leda and King Tyndareos of Sparta.
Greek
Myth
Zeus transformed himself into a swan in
order to seduce Leda. She lays two eggs, from
which emerge two sets of twins, one female and
the other male. From the one egg emerged Caster
and Polydeuces, and from the other Klytaemnestra
and Helen.
Caster
and Polydeuces fight with another set of twins
called Idas and Kynceus. In this battle Caster
dies, and Polydeuces asks for the help of Zeus in
order to resurrect his brother, or to take his
life instead.
Zeus
grants this wish, but one brother will enjoy the
day while the other the night, so that they
understand the qualities of the underworld but
also the ecstasy of the gods.
This
is really the dilemma of Gemini. The duality of
the personality one negative while the other
positive. And it is this challenge that they
often find in life. To understand both sides of
there personality, rather than just the positive
or creative side.
The
hurdles which Gemini's often encounter sometime
come from an outside influence, but they struggle
in side as well. It is far more fortunate for
this energy to stem from their inner self's because then it is their
own energy which is being
dealt with instead of this being reflected in the
out side world. They need to be able to contact
this energy and also to recognize it as their
own.
When
this is achieved a bridge can be built between
the conscious and the unconscious.
Mercury
is the ruling planet of Gemini. Symbolically he
is the trickster, he’s in dreams and the
joker. He is also known as the messenger to the
underworld, and of the heavenly realms.
He
is the only god not assigned a place of worship.
You will find him anywhere at crossroads in life.
We are blessed with his presents and intellect
but at times become confused and will drift you
astray.
These
energies can be handled, but it usually happens
in the second side to life very much blessed with
the gift of the intellect but also fool hardy at
times.
