Gemini connects with the 3rd house of the mind, and is ruled by engaging Mercury. At-a-Glance Gemini Keywords:
Gemini in Astrology: The Mind
Gemini is the sign of the mind, and is highly curious, asks questions, and is the little kid who always asks, "Why?" This tends to make Gemini seem quite intellectual, even if it really isn't. Gemini utilizes mental energy, otherwise it gets bored quickly. Gemini can move from this to that and abandon anything it already started in favor of something more intellectually stimulating.
Gemini in Astrology: Expression
Gemini is astrology governs expression. Gemini has a lot on its mind and doesn't want to shut up about it. Gemini wants to express itself openly and clearly. Gemini can feel out of sorts when it's not able to express itself.
Gemini in Astrology: Engagement
With all of the mental energy and expression, it's no surprise Gemini is highly engaging. This provides mental stimulation and allows Gemini to express itself. Gemini is engaging in a more personal way, wanting to connect with its immediate environment.
Gemini in Astrology: Flexible
Being a mutable air sign, Gemini is highly flexible and can adapt to almost any person or situation. Gemini is willing to get moving, to budge, something it has learned from previous sign Taurus, who doesn't move an inch. Gemini understands that being flexible opens up more opportunities, and it can be quick on its feet.
Gemini in Astrology: Little Picture
Gemini rules the little picture, the smaller stuff. Gemini has a good connection to the little picture, what comes next, and what's around it. Its ideas tend to be the kind that can be taken initiative with quickly and finished fast.
Gemini in Astrology: Dual
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, who is dual in nature, and is symbolized by the Twins, so Gemini often connects with two in some way. Gemini is a dual sign, and can be of two minds about everything, and constantly have two (or more sometimes) projects, ideas, and plans to work on. This might overwhelm some signs, but Gemini can thrive with it.
Gemini in Astrology: Busy
Gemini doesn't do well not having enough to do, so this sign prefers to fill up the schedule and have plenty of projects, social engagements, and goals to work on. This helps Gemini use up the extra mental energy it has, and it can be a great multitasker.
Gemini in Astrology: Scattered
With Gemini being the sign of the mind and being so quick to get bored, it can get scattered easily as it moves from one thing to the next at lightning speed. This can make it difficult to get a real handle on things, and can cause a scattered mind. There can be too much information to process, which makes Gemini more anxious. Getting control over this is a lesson Gemini must learn.
Where Your Gemini Energy is Found

Even if you have no natal planets in Gemini, you will have at least one natal house with Gemini. The house that falls in Gemini (has Gemini on the house cusp) can show areas of life where you take an intellectual approach. If you have no Gemini house cusps, Gemini is intercepted (contained) in the house that falls in Taurus, and your Gemini energy can manifest subconsciously with whatever that house rules.

You don't need to be so hard on yourself for having them, and being so hard on yourself won't solve anything. Second, start working on those issues, stat. This would be a great time for various therapies and counseling, so try to open up to that. Face the issues head-on.

This is usually the crux of the problem. Improving your self-esteem and confidence can help you move forward with other issues, and you can feel more secure as you do.

This can provide new understanding that you hadn't seen before, and you can strengthen yourself internally. Address issues that have made your foundation shaky, and work to make yourself more resilient.

This can be a good time to get in tune with your inner child. Transit Chiron in the 6th HouseThe sixth house rules your daily life, work, and health, so transit Chiron in your 6th house can bring issues that impact you each day. Little things can get on your nerves, and you may be extra stressed out. Physical health can be more important, and you may feel that some health issues worsen, and your stress levels can have a direct impact on your physical well being. How to survive: Since stress can be so high during this transit, it's important to work on having healthy stress management strategies and systems in place. If you don't when the transit starts, then work on that immediately. Don't demand perfection from yourself, and go easy on yourself. If things don't work out the way you plan, it doesn't mean you're automatically a failure and doomed forever. It just may not be the right time, or the right pursuit. Celebrate small wins. Work on having small ways to take care of yourself every day, and check in with yourself. Work on projects that you connect with, and they can provide more room for healing.

You may have to face a fear, perhaps even your greatest fear, which can be absolutely terrifying, but ends up leading to an incredible amount of power and control in your life.

Deal with the hard stuff, and find your power. Transit Chiron in the 9th HouseThe ninth house rules expansion and beliefs, so transit Chiron in the 9th house can bring out issues and wounds involving your beliefs, the beliefs you grew up with, and the beliefs forced on you.

Try to get a hold of the big picture, and focus on the good in your life. This helps you create the space you need, and with space, you can get a handle on your beliefs.

How to survive: Focus on the blocks to achievement. Look within, look subconsciously, and look at the past and what may have occurred to create a block. As you work through the blocks, allow yourself to make progress and take steps in the right direction. Work on improving your confidence in your choices and with the path you take. Manage responsibilities in healthy ways, and give yourself enough time away to recharge as needed. There can be issues with authority figures from the past that you need to address now and heal from, and the opportunity is there. Once you're on the road to healing, others can look up to you for it, and you may reach a height with your personal power and ultimately end up achieving a healing goal.

This stellium lasts until March 11th (the Sun exits February 18th and Mercury exits February 23rd, leaving Venus and Mars with Pluto until March 11th).

Aquarius is the sign of the future, and we're extra focused on the future now. Our hopes and dreams can be more important to us now, and we can make big changes to get closer, and can be independent in our pursuits. We can embrace the unconventional, and appreciate our quirks. We can also expand our social circles, and care more about what impacts everyone. With Pluto being the only slow planet in the mix, Pluto is the one calling the shots and gets most of the attention. This means this can be a period where we're making important transformations, researching and investigating, and making use of passionate energy. We can be intense and focused, and this can make us formidable. We can push through anything we need to, and we can stick to what we want no matter what. The Pisces Stellium of 2024
The Sun enters Pisces on February 18th, and this starts the stellium in Pisces as both Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces. Mercury enters Pisces on February 23rd, Venus enters Pisces on March 11th, and Mars enters Pisces on March 22nd. This stellium lasts until April 30th (the Sun exits on March 19th, Mercury exits on March 10th, Venus exits on April 4th, and this leaves Mars with Neptune and Saturn in Pisces until April 30th, when Mars exits).
While Pluto is at the start of a new cycle, Neptune is nearing the end of it's time in Pisces. This means we're kind of feeling a subconscious push with spiritual and creative pursuits, with dealing with the past, and with clearing our emotional, spiritual, and karmic baggage this year, and we can be extra focused on that during this stellium since Neptune rules Pisces. Neptune is foggy energy though, so we do need to make sure we're being realistic and grounding ourselves during this time. It can be excellent for creative pursuits, strengthening intuition, and getting in tune with your subconscious mind, so work on that. With Saturn here though, we do need to keep in mind the importance of being disciplined, doing things the right way, and having proper motivations. Otherwise, we end up with the Saturn punishments! The Aquarius and Pisces Stelliums Overlap!
The Aquarius stellium is from February 5th to March 11th 2024, while the Pisces stellium is February 18th to April 30th, meaning they overlap February 18th to March 11th. This can be a time where we may have two focuses with the two different signs, or we may bring two things together to work together or help each other. We're extra-extra-extra helpful as Aquarius rules charity and Pisces rules compassion, so we just need to make sure we have healthy boundaries.
I also want to note that all of this is occurring with all planets moving forward, so we're in a period of great energy for progress, focus, and achievement. Get going! Suggested Reading: Stelliums in the Zodiac Signs Chiron is often called an asteroid in astrology, but is technically a comet (it was originally an asteroid, then a dwarf planet, and now a comet - we'll see if it changes again!). It's a slow-moving planet like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, so it falls in with the generational planets. Chiron Astrology & Your Natal ChartThere are ten planets in a standard astrology chart (I personally also add Ceres, and there are others, but we start with the ten). Each planet links to a different part of your personality and life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. I link Chiron to earth sign Virgo, the sign of health and wellness, which would naturally connect Chiron to the sixth house of work and health. At-a-Glance Chiron Keywords:
Chiron in Astrology: WoundsChiron is called the Wounded Healer in astrology, so it ties into your greatest wounds in this life. In your natal chart, this is often found via the sign and house location of your natal Chiron. It can show where your greatest wound lies, or it may show an aspect of your greatest wound that festers the most. When it comes to transits, transit (moving) Chiron has the potential to cause more wounds, often through challenging aspects (conjunctions, squares, oppositions), or to bring back out old wounds that haven't been fully addressed. This can make for great sensitivity, and we're often very vulnerable. The beneficial aspects (sextiles and trines) can make it easier to take a more objective view of our great wounds and what we need to do about them. Chiron in Astrology: HealingI mentioned Chiron is the Wounded Healer in astrology, so it not only ties into your greatest wounds, but also how you can heal from them. How or where can be shown via the natal sign and house of your natal Chiron, and transits involving Chiron can help you with healing (sextiles and trines) or make healing harder (conjunctions, squares, and oppositions). Some say that you never actually fully heal when it comes to Chiron, but you can heal enough that it gives you great wisdom and empathy. Many people who are healers professionally (whether spiritual types or actual medical professionals) have a strong natal Chiron as Chironic healing abilities can sometimes be more beneficial for others than for ourselves. Chiron in Astrology: Personal GrowthAs we explore our wounds, and work on healing and understanding, this naturally leads to personal growth thanks to Chiron. This is growth that ordinarily isn't attained in a chaotic way full of upheaval like with Pluto, or that comes with enormous responsibility and restrictions like with Saturn. It's quieter, and it's more personal, so it may not be fully obvious on the outside, and instead is something you feel deep within. The personal growth we achieve with Chiron often lasts a lifetime, and helps us to be much more understanding with others and ourselves. Chiron in Astrology: Personal PowerAlong the lines of personal growth, as we heal and understand, we can also uncover more personal power. This isn't as loud as with Pluto, so again, it's quieter, but it can lead to having more confidence and feeling more secure with yourself because you recognize the innate power you have. The power you get from fighting and war is not the same as the power you get from healing and understanding. Pluto is the former while Chiron is the latter. Chiron in Astrology: IntuitiveSince Chiron is a quieter sort of body and requires a lot of introspection and reflection, it can also be highly intuitive as it's able to get a sense of the subtle energies all around us. This generally is only helpful for other people until we do some healing and growth, and then it can become helpful for ourselves as well. Chiron in Astrology: KarmicChiron can be a karmic placement, and we may feel we have spiritual and karmic baggage associated with our natal Chiron. This can mean that sometimes, the wounds we need to address aren't from this life, and are being carried over from past lives. We may need to work through it in this one to release the baggage. Chiron in Astrology: HealthWith Chiron ruling healing, I also find it to be a very strong body for our health in general. This can be physical health as well as mental and emotional. Your natal Chiron can show where health issues lie for you and how you can address them, while transits involving Chiron can show health issues to focus on at the moment and how to tend to them. Where Your Chiron Energy is FoundFor everyone, look to the Zodiac sign and natal house your Chiron falls in. The energy of the Chiron sign is how you heal and what your wounds are, while the areas of life ruled by the house your Chiron falls in are where you need to heal and where your wounds may have come from. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your Chiron sign (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your Chiron falls in) as this can also connect to the Chiron energy. Planets that are conjunct (aligned with) your natal Chiron can directly tie into your wounds, healing and growth. There can be a great wound associated with that planet, but also great healing potential and power, and the ability to achieve great growth and understanding in your life. Transit (moving) planets aspecting your natal Chiron can bring some temporary energy for Chiron matters. This can impact your ability to heal and grow with Chiron, and bring more attention to wounds. The most challenging aspects to your natal Chiron can be hard transit Saturn (since Saturn is the planet of lessons, there can be important lessons that need to be learned with your wounds, and you may feel quite restricted in your healing ability until you do), hard transit Uranus (who is the unexpected planet, so there can be sudden challenges with your wounds), and hard transit Pluto (the intense planet of transformation, this can create upheaval to force you to confront your wounds and has the biggest chance of wounding you again).

A Strong Natal Chiron in AstrologySome may have a more important natal Chiron. This can be the case for you if you have:
- Chiron conjunct a stellium (3+ planets) - your natal Chiron conjunct an angle - your North or South Node in your Chiron sign - your 1st house ruler conjunct the natal Chiron - your natal Chiron anaretic (at 29 degrees) - natal Chiron conjunct a retrograde Mercury, Venus, Mars, or Ceres If your natal Chiron is conjunct a stellium, this means that the stellium likely ties into your greatest wounds. Your wound may be bigger than usual, and have an impact on more areas of your life than usual. Yet your healing potential is also huge, and you can be an incredible healer once you harness that energy. Natal Chiron conjunct an angle can mean you may have wounds to work on related to that angle, and can be more vulnerable in those areas until you grow. Chiron conjunct your 1st house ruler can make you someone who displays a lot of understanding and sensitivity, but may struggle with your own insecurities until you do more internal work. Chiron in your North Node sign can show you have great potential to be seen as an incredible healer, someone wise and strong and empathetic, but you have to work through blocks first and do your own healing. Chiron in your South Node sign can show you may get stuck in your wounds, help others too much and ignore yourself, and are vulnerable to manipulation. You need to prioritize yourself and work on healthy boundaries. If your natal Chiron is anaretic, this can show you play it up too much or not enough. You may shy away from healing and run from your wounds, leaving yourself vulnerable and a bit of a mess; or you may fixate on healing too much, and may end up healing everyone but yourself in the end. The anaretic degree always requires middle ground, so it's important to make sure you're healing yourself and being empathetic, but also protecting yourself and having those healthy boundaries. If your natal Chiron is conjunct a retrograde Mercury, Venus, Mars, or Ceres, this can show that the retrograde planet is a source of wounds and sensitivity for you, and that has to be addressed. With retrograde, you have to go about it in your own way, which can be different from what you think of as normal. Once you do find your way, there can be a lot of growth.
