Gemini Strategies to Improve Intuitive Skills

Gemini often find it difficult to tap into their intuitive or gut feelings because they are so “of the mind.” The following strategies will help you calm your mental activity and tune in to your intuitive abilities.

1.Develop a meditation or shamanic journey work practice to calm your overactive mind. Either a walking meditation or active meditation such as journey work would be more effective than sitting in meditation, because these activities do not try to empty the mind but rather activate the part of the mind that is connected to the intuition. This practice will be most effective if you do it daily, but try to practice a minimum of three times a week.

2.Every morning upon waking,...
pick up a pen and paper and write up to three pages of stream-of-consciousness writing, allowing all your thoughts to flow onto the page without editing yourself. You don’t even need to use full sentences or punctuation. This practice is called “Morning Pages,” and to quote Julia Cameron, the author of The Artist’s Way (who popularized the term and the practice), this activity will “provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritize and synchronize the day at hand.” This helps you tap in to your deep psyche.

3.Be mindful of when you are stepping into shape-shifter mode or agreeing with all sides. Pause, and ask yourself, “What is true for me?” Check in with your gut to feel your truth and make your suggestions and decisions based on that.

THE SOUL IN GEMINI

The personality and behavior of Gemini, or any Sun sign, is affected by all the other placements and aspects in the natal chart. This is why it is important to gradually blend the meanings of the planets, signs, houses, aspects, and transits to create an overall picture of the potential in your personal blueprint. If Gemini is your Sun sign, you may have things in common with other Gemini Sun signs, but you are uniquely you.

For example, a Gemini Sun with Sagittarius Ascendant will be very flexible, fun, and outgoing compared to a Gemini Sun with Capricorn Ascendant, who will be more serious and probably a leader in their field. Another example is a person with a Gemini Sun and Aquarius Moon, who would be highly inventive but very detached emotionally, compared with a person with a Gemini Sun and Pisces Moon, who would be more connected to subconscious messages and be more empathic. Here are a few things to consider to help you make the most of your Gemini energy in different areas of life.

Always consider that your soul chose the Gemini energy so that you could be more of a thinker and teacher in that area of life. You can choose to maximize the positive energies of Gemini.

GENERAL PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

One issue that causes the most problems for Gemini is their tendency to be unfocused and sometimes unaware of other people’s feelings, as well as their own. Of course, sometimes this is a good thing as Gemini’s path is to learn as much as they can in this lifetime. However, balancing out the desire to absorb information with focusing on what is true for you is a useful skill to develop.

RELATIONSHIPS/RELATING TO OTHERS

Gemini is the opposite sign of Sagittarius, the sign of the teacher. This means it can be good for Gemini to actually teach as well as take in information. This isn’t to suggest that you should become completely like Sagittarius—only that you should infuse some of these qualities in your dealings with others to have more successful relationships.

ACHIEVING GOALS

Gemini loses interest in things quickly and moves on to new things, which can make achieving a goal difficult. It’s Gemini’s changeability that results in things being more arduous for them. To help you with this, look to where Saturn is in your chart to discover how you can tap in to the energy of mastery before you move on to something new.

CAREERS

For a full analysis of what type of career you would be suited to, take into account the cusp of the tenth house (the Midheaven), the ruler of that sign, and any planets in the tenth house. For example, a person with a Gemini Sun may have Virgo on the cusp of the tenth house, and Mercury (ruler of both Gemini and Virgo) in the eighth house in Cancer. This person might be drawn to studying healing and metaphysics, and they may even become a teacher of such practices. Mercury and Gemini
