Gemini is the sign of duality, multiplicity, communication, intellect, and imagination. It is the spice and pizzazz that keeps us all chatting, changing, and challenging the way things are, or the way things can be. Gemini season inspires us to question things and also light up with new possibilities as this sign's energy of curiosity, new ideas, and wit surrounds us. 

Gemini is an air sign, a sign of fluidity and lightness. Geminis get restless and bored easily, so they need change and new fun challenges. They are also inherently creative and playful by nature, finding unique solutions and fun ways to blow off steam naturally. Their intelligence and adaptability mean they need freedom to make their own path to meaning in their life’s pursuits. 

 

 

GEMINI IN FLOWERS

 

I’ve created Gemini in flowers here with a set of twin floral clusters, all seasonally grown in Gemini season, with lots of moving parts and an array of textures for energy. As the twins, and the sign of duality and partnership, Gemini in flowers mirrors itself playfully, reflecting the energy of curiosity and lightheartedness that animate this sign. All flowers I chose are in tones of bright and energized whites, yellows, oranges, and corals; and design-wise my aim was to channel the rising and bubbly energy that Gemini emanates. The mechanics I used are small metal floral pin frogs fastened to the bottom of each ceramic vase with floral putty.

GEMINI SEASON TIPS

 

Because Gemini is an air sign, linked to the realm of ideas an intellect, Gemini season can be an inspiring time full of encouraging energy to learn, grow, and expand intellectually. What do you want to study or master? What class or workshop could support you this season as you ride this wave of curiosity and mental engagement?

During Gemini season, it's helpful a balance of grounding and restorative practices to pair with your natural urges and itches for constant movement. Indulge your curiosities and passions, giving yourself lots of space in your free time to explore; then also consciously cultivate a sense of contentment too, as endless desires and interests alone can leave you agitated and feeling unfulfilled. Pepper in some calming walks, and center yourself with resonant and fluid experiences like listening to (or playing) music. 

Gemini is adaptable and flexible by nature, making this a supportive time to stretch and explore. This sign is also imbued with the communicative and connective energy of Mercury, making this an opportune time for building connections and being a bit more social. Host a little gathering, or reach out and make a new friend. It is never, ever too late to do that.

 

 

TAROT OF FLOWERS & GEMINI

 

Gemini is associated with the Major Arcana card "Parrot Tulip | The Lovers," in our Tarot of Flowers deck. This card and flower are associated with self-love, relationships, and duality. Here is a snippet from the Tarot of Flowers guidebook for this card:

 

"The flamboyant and sumptuous Parrot Tulip, with its painted petals shaped like parted lips, speaks of the desirous and dynamic experience of eros. [...] As a showy spring flower, adorned with ruffles and splashes of color, Parrot Tulip exemplifies personal definition and a clear sense of self. Its fiery markings represent the vividness and magnetism of infatuation that flush your life with color. [...] Just as Parrot Tulip blooms later and longer into the spring than most tulips, remember to take your time and savor what is unfolding."

Sending joyous wishes to all of the Geminis out there! Send this to a Gemini you love to help them celebrate in the language of flowers. They will appreciate the pairing. :)

“Astrology in Flowers” is a creative project that I’ve built as a way to compose together my love for flowers, language, the zodiac, and the connective experience of self-discovery. I encourage you to make space for your own creative explorations that connect your interests and furthermore connect you to the season surrounding you at this moment. Such projects are some of the most fun and rewarding of all to make and to share.
