Channeling love letters from the Universe
Channeling love letters from the Universe
“Step right up folks, and
get your tickets to the Greatest Show On Earth!”
Feast your eyes on the Ringmaster!
Watch him in amazement
as he commands
death defying acts
in three rings,
simultaneously!
In the first ring,
a man places his own head
inside the mouth of a lion!
In the center ring,
pull your children in tight,
while wild tigers jump through flaming rings of fire!
And in the third ring,
drink in the splendor, as prancing white horses
balance ballerinas on their backs,
while gracefully galloping around the ring!
It's an amazing spectacle of
Lions and
Tigers and
Mares..
OH MY!
“Who’s that one in the Top Hat, and Tails
the crowd asks..
the one who’s proficient in multiple tasks?
Keeping objects continually rotating in air...
While they juggle,
and jabber away,
as you stare.
They keep irons in fires, and burn through technology...
dance, yoga, travel..
and even Astrology.
It’s amazing they make it all look like a breeze...
as they fly through the air with the greatest of ease.
But I caution you kids
not to try this alone,
it’s how wheels come off axles,
and gaskets get blown.
Who is this?
the crowd chants,
demanding I clarify...
Relax everyone,
It’s our dear friend,
A Gemini!
Well.. it’s kind of like that.
They can seem a little death defying to a
the slower paced Earth signs.
Or very much like a three-ringed circus,
for the quieter Water signs.
The fire signs are more likely to be part of their act...
but I think I painted a fairly accurate analogy.
I have a lot of Gemini friends, myself,
and I swear I can hear carnival music when they're around.
But maybe that's just my Moon, shining.
Because they’re a mutable sign, they easily adapt, and go with the flow,
and because they're an Air sign, they are not held captive to routines,
or weighed down by emotions.
They are essentially, free spirits, free to roam where the wind blows.
Always open to new thoughts, new ideas, and new ways of doing things.
They actually like changing things up.
It keeps things from getting stale and boring.
They can easily take on several tasks at once,
and they’re happy to try out anything new.
Even personalities.
If they find you interesting enough,
they may try on your personality for a day...
or thirty... just to see what it’s like.
Your first clue will be when they start to wear similar clothes,
use the same phrases, pick up your accent, or start eating the same foods. They’re trying it on like a coat... to see how it fits.
It's just an experiment.
Don't get all weird about it.
When the season is over, they’ll go shopping for new things to try on,
and they'll forget all about what ever it was they found so interesting about you.
Take it as a compliment.
It was.
For a Gemini,
It's about the experience, and what they can learn from it.
They're so curious about everything, and
Everything. Requires. Definition.
Everything.
If you’re talking about something that sparks their interest,
they’ll hang on your every word,
ask a million (of the right) questions,
and pick your brain for every detail they can get.
They'll stop off at the book store on the way home,
buy every available book on the subject,
sign up for a continuing education course to learn more about it,
and exhaust every youtube video out there.
But six months later, when you try to follow up with them,
they've forgotten all about it.
They've already moved on.
By now, they've taken up Mandarin Chinese,
adopted a charm of finches,
and they're learning how to sew.
That 6 foot bird cage isn't going to cover itself!
It's impossible to stick with any one thing, for very long,
when there are so many other fascinating things to learn.
Do try to keep up,
will you?
But they will pinky swear,
that once they remember where they put those books,
they will definitely drop them off for you.
Now, before you start writing them off as dim-witted,
think again.
Far from it.
Flighty?
Gawd, yes!
and maybe their recall button does stick a little,
but the information is still in there somewhere... give them a minute.
One morning at around 3:00am it will all come flooding back to them,
and out of nowhere you'll get, not only the stack of books they promised you, but also the copious notes they took while studying the subject-- mostly because they forgot they were still in the books...
but they'll be equivalent to a Doctoral Thesis,
so you're welcome!
Did I mention they love to read?
They’ll read anything.
A text book, a magazine, a pamphlet, a tattoo, a bathroom wall...
hell, they might even leave a response if they have a pen!
They find everything riveting.
Except for the things they don’t.
It's all about whatever catches their fancy.
The beauty of it is,
they’re being exactly who they’re meant to be!
They are here to learn as much as they can,
and they happily accept the challenge!
It should come as no surprise,
they're smart, witty, quick to catch on,
and always thinking way ahead of any conversation
they’re currently having at the moment.
In fact, they already know how they’re going to answer you
before you even finish your sentence.
A Gemini is quite intuitive, too— but not in the way that a water signs is.
Water signs sense it, feel it.
But a Gemini is a master at noticing every detail, every nuance,
putting two and two together, and coming up with accurate answers
and information.
You may not have noticed, today, that you put on one gold hoop-earring,
and one silver hoop-earring..
but your Gemini friend noticed it right away,
and now they’re asking you questions about it.
“why did you do that...is that a thing now?" as they
search the internet for current earring trends.
If it is, they'll order a pair for themselves.
They love anything new, and up to date.
If it was just an embarrassing error on your part,
well, now you know.
Their insatiable minds are constantly calculating every detail,
and creating a profile for every moment.
What you're wearing, how you styled your hair,
what you've posted on social media.
Is your body language the same today as it was yesterday?
It's all being calculated.
They're even calculating what you're not saying,
and adding that to the equation.
They may not be able to feel what you're feeling,
but they just spit out a pretty accurate profile,
based on the calculated information, and Bingo!
They've got your number!
Speaking of your number...
They'll call a lot.
They love to talk.
Doesn't matter to them, if its over the phone, in person, via text, email, messenger, IG, twitter, FaceTime,
two cans tied to a rope..
they just want to communicate.
Often.
Gemini is ruled by Mercury,
the planet of communication and information.
It's also the fastest moving planet in the solar system,
so be prepared.
They"ll be communicating information fast,
and often.
How fast?
Mercury orbits the Sun every 88 days.
If you're not sure just how fast that is,
here's some perspective:
It takes Venus 225 days to orbit,
Earth 365 days
Mars 687 days
Jupiter 12 years
Saturn 29 years
Uranus 84 years
Neptune 165 years
and Pluto, a whopping 248 years to orbit the sun!
See what I mean?
They're moving fast!
Sounds pretty nice, right?
all that freedom to flit around, here and there..
not being stuck in the same old, same old..
never weighed down by heavy emotions,
being witty, smart, fun,
in the know!
Sounds like the total package, right?
But hold on just a minute.
All that freedom and air comes at a price.
Sure, they're not laying in bed, doing the "woe is me" thing,
or stuck in a rut, chained to a boring routine...
But have you ever stood in the eye of a tornado, while
wind, and dirt, and debris spin all around you, never landing, never still?
Only having a moment to see whats in front of you before it blows away as quickly as it came?
Listening to the unceasing,
deafening roar of the wind in your head?
No?
Well,
It's where they live.
As you might imagine,
there isn't much rest there.
It can't be easy to harness all that
computation,
calculation,
contemplating,
annotating,
dissertating
commentating
and estimating.
Makes more sense now why your Gemini friend
belongs to a poetry club, does yoga and meditation, makes pottery, teaches knitting, and whittling, and cycles, and runs a blog, with 14,000 followers,
Right?
They're just trying to harness that energy, and quiet that mind.
As I wrote this tonight,
my own Gemini Moon showed up,
and helped me write this poem...
It's not easy, being so breezy,
in my head, I've often said.
All these turbines, in the confines,
of my mind, I've been assigned.
There are days, I'd like to say,
please turn it down, or I may drown.
The wind's too much, my head I clutch,
the weight too heavy from this crown.
A Butterfly, then flutters by,
as if to say, "You are okay".
We are twins, she slyly grins,
It is but I, a Gemini.
--I told you I was a Poet.
Happy Birthday, Gemini!
We welcome your energy.
