The Tao of Astrology
Gemini Rising When Gemini the messenger is rising, Sagittarius the gypsy is setting. On the physical dimension, Gemini Rising has an intellectual, smooth, oval face with inquiring eyes, a thin nose, high cheekbones, and a pointed jester’s chin. In contrast to the earthy stocky frame of Taurus Rising (dwarves), they are very thin, wiry, agile, and fairie looking (elves). This youthful, curious appearance remains throughout the person’s life. They have the face of the shape shifter. The key ingredients to this personality are versatility and curiosity. This person is a living duality and needs to have a thousand different outlets for the abundant, exciting mental energy. Sometimes they just can’t stay put. And if they do stay put they can’t keep from fidgeting or jabbering. They embody the archetypal character Peter Pan. The planet that governs Gemini is Mercury and its position in the chart will invariably shape the Ascendant. Gemini Rising’s witty, frivolous, amusing attitude makes for stimulating conversation. Once you get them downloading the data from the dusty selves of their loaded minds watch out! Anyone touched by this archetype is here to do some communicating. However, if Mercury is located in a deep, contemplative house or aligned with a planet like Neptune, then the ideas might flow inward into poetry and fiction. If Gemini Rising is not expressing identity in a mercurial light-hearted way, then the shadow creeps forward. The shadowy Gemini Rising is tricky, deceitful, and mischievous, lost in a world of barren logic and cold information. Spiritually, Gemini Rising exists to bring the message of divine duality, yin and yang in loving union, into the world. The spiritual writer’s endpoint involves raising consciousness on the planet through having intense, soulful conversations with eternity and people. Cosmically, these people are able to lift others into the winds of knowledge. They are here to master the principle of conversation through the wisdom of rhythm. When Gemini Rising takes off the mask to engage others in a trusting one-on-one exchange, gears must be shifted into Sagittarian mode. This person’s natural style of relating to others is expansive, philosophical, and broadminded. Anyone carrying around Sagittarian energy would inspire Gemini Rising into commitment or union. They might be very fickle about traditional styles of partnering because they love their freedom in love. If a partner of any kind hems them in, they take flight instinctively. Perhaps Gemini Rising folks relate better with foreigners, freedom-oriented philosophers, or while traveling as gypsies in distant realms. They are learning the principles of divine inspiration and faith through interacting with others. The planet Jupiter will tell more about the details of their relationship styles and needs. Wherever Jupiter resides in the chart and whatever aspect it keeps, heavily influences the kinds of partnerships Gemini Rising will engage in. To actualize the full potential of the axis of life, these people need to integrate higher consciousness and breadth of vision into their facts, figures, and messages. Then meaning and faith emerges from the conversation. The life intent for these people is to participate in relationships that allow the full range of intelligence expression. They need to experience life on the run with a trail mate who will support their spiritual journey of mental enlightenment.
