AstroYoga this Gemini Season: Using Your Mind and Breath to Navigate Life

Gemini is the sign connected to the circulating energy of the air element. In AstroYoga, air represents the mind, intellect, and breath. Gemini’s association with circulating air connects you with the capacity to easily move through various mental states and opinions. 

Now, if you’ve ever spent time inquiring into your own thoughts, you know that the mind can send you on either an upward spiral toward success and genuine self-esteem, or a downward spiral toward various states of anxiety. Gemini is the twins Castor and Pollux, who represent cleanliness and pollution, or the mind’s capacity to move in either a positive or a negative direction. 

Energetically, this sign offers you a challenge to choose what you think, and then to either continue on that path or to change your mind again. During Gemini season, you are invited to consciously select your thoughts, opinions, and words in a way that helps you find the most empowering outlook about yourself, others, and the world around you.

This particular Gemini season, we experience Venus and Jupiter moving into Gemini in their invisible state. Planets are invisible when they are close to the Sun, and when this happens, it means that their energies are best found within. Venus brings abundance and beauty, and Jupiter brings good fortune this Gemini season, but before those are seen externally, they must be located within yourself. If you have Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius placements, you’re bound to notice some extra light coming into your life during Jupiter’s stay in Gemini (for about the next year). Everyone has Gemini in their chart somewhere, and you’re likely to experience some growth in that chart area at this time. 

This Gemini season reminds us that your selection of your thoughts is a form of power that can help build your life in the way you choose.

Gemini Energy and the Body

In astrology, Gemini is associated with the lungs, shoulders, arms, and hands. These physical attributes connect to your capacity to either still or activate the mind. While things like deep breathing and stilling the hands can result in a calm mind, quickening the breath can result in activation. In Gemini season you get to make the call on how you’d like to proceed in any given situation. 

As well, Gemini is associated with the throat chakra. The throat chakra is connected to ideas of manifestation and learning how to refine our capacity to speak and manifest positive experiences into our lives. In this capacity, Gemini is the energy that helps you learn from mistakes and grow more masterful in how you think about and approach your life.

During Gemini season, you may find that these areas require extra attention. Yoga poses that strengthen and stabilize the shoulders, such as downward facing dog (adho mukha svanasana) or crow pose (kakasana), can be particularly beneficial. I suggest practicing these with your Oko Living Diamond Yoga Mat for extra grip. 

Conclusion

As you move through Gemini season, give yourself permission to examine your thoughts and to change your mind with ease. Ask yourself what thoughts are forming positive outcomes in your life, and what thoughts you could add to bring in more joy and hope.
