Jupiter in Gemini!

“Reading, conversation, environment, culture, heroes, mentors, nature – all are lottery tickets for creativity. Scratch away at them and you’ll find out how big a prize you’ve won.”

Twyla Tharp – natal Jupiter conjunct Lilith in Gemini

Sensing a new buzz in the background? Maybe it’s an anomaly in the grid, maybe it’s Geminis arcing up for Jupiter in their sign from this weekend.

Consciously or not, they’re getting ready to optimus-maximus their way into a cooler life. But Jupiter in the sign of the Twins is not just for them – it also benefits mercurial people, double agents, new media, currency traders, writers, the pace of commerce and hybrid ventures or careers.

And, if you started something cool and ingenious with April’s Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, this is when you can talk about it more freely and get good help or the exact data you need to expand it.

You see, Jupiter in Gemini is the frontrunner to Uranus in Gemini from next year.

Recent improvisations – even your most hardscrabble workarounds and 3:AM realizations become innovative strategies. By the time Uranus crosses the Zero degrees point of Gemini in July 2025, they could be legit foresight, evidence of your ahead-of-timely acumen.

Jupiter last graced Gemini during the early Zap Zone (Uranus square Pluto) era: from June 11 2012 until June 26 2013. You may recall it as the year the Ancient Mayans suddenly went mainstream and people with miniscule interest in esoterica opined about the Mayan astrological cycle.

The world didn’t end, thus proving my theory that someone got sick of hand-chiselling ephemeride tablets millennia into the future. CERN, however did discover their sought-after ‘God particle’ a few weeks into Jupiter in Gemini.

Twelve years and a few trillion dollars later, it does not seem to have translated into a use case and this take on it seems to imply that more money would be required to build a fancier particle collider. The MIT Technology Review is more frank about the impasse.

But if particle physics was to enjoy a morale boosting quantum discovery, it would be in mid-June, the Jupiter Return of the sensational 2012 discovery.

If you were likewise busy sparking awesome inventions and attractions in 2012 but for whatever reason the thing failed to ignite, this round of Jupiter in Gemini could bring joyous breakthroughs.

 Jupiter and Pluto in Aquarius are in beneficial trine aspect from May 30 till June 7, part of an excellent Sun-Venus alignment that I detail in the Daily Mystic for Fri 24 – Sun 26.

We have plenty of time to acclimatize to Jupiter in Gemini but if you’re seeking an immediate stance on it, look no further than this advice from the sci-fi author Bruce Sterling – born with Jupiter in Gemini trine Neptune.

“Forget trying to pass for normal. Follow your geekdom. Embrace nerditude…Get weird. Get way weird. Get dangerously weird. Get sophisticatedly, thoroughly weird, and don’t do it halfway. Put every ounce of horsepower you have behind it. Don’t become a well-rounded person. Well-rounded people are smooth and dull. Become a thoroughly spiky person.”
