JUPITER IN GEMINI 25th May 2024

And another planet moves into Gemini this week: Jupiter, the great expander.⁣

When this archetype is in Mutable Air, expect enthusiastic conversations about the meaning of life, universal laws, and ethics to live by. There is no right and wrong though, Jupiter in Gemini is big enough to hold space for all sorts of perspectives we will explore during this year. ⁣

Jupiter is one of the 2 societal planets that come after our personal planets. While personal planets describe our daily immediate personal concerns, Jupiter (and Saturn) are about how we fit into a bigger group or society. ⁣

By coming together in a Gemini conversation, we can zoom out from our standpoint and gather information and perspectives from other people. Imagine hearing all sides was the foundation of every civilization and every member of society was entitled to their own opinion. But if we as a society cannot even deal with the diversity in our cities, let alone all human races and cultures on Earth, how will we be able to zoom out even further? How will we handle other species in this galaxy and the 100 billions other galaxies in the observable universe?⁣

Maybe this is what the coming months will be about: Generously granting others the right to speak their mind. And even encouraging rich diverse interactions. When 2 or more minds come together, they can often grow way beyond what they could have done alone. They create something bigger and greater together. ⁣

A shadow side of Jupiter in Gemini is the tendency of big talk but no follow through. We can now re-learn to stick to our words, a quality that has been lost in this modern-day society. 100 or 200 years ago, we could easily rely on each other's words and make verbal binding deals. It was a time when a handshake was our word of honor. The communities were still so closely knit that not sticking to our word would mean we'd get a bad reputation and were potentially shunned. They did not have lengthy legal documents for their agreements; a word and a handshake were sufficient. Nowadays, many people try to wiggle themselves out of what they said yesterday. Or they simply forget. We constantly break our word towards ourselves and others - for tiny and big things. But keeping our word could be a great antidote to all the broken promises from the past couple of years. And a big step to rebuilding the foundation of this society.⁣
