Jupiter in Gemini
Jupiter represents the part of you that trusts, grows and seeks meaning. In Gemini, it expresses itself with curiosity, lightness and no end of connections.
In Gemini — mutable air, sign of Mercury — Jupiter stands in his detriment, far from home and against his nature. The great one, who asks for breadth and unity, finds himself here parcelled out among a thousand small matters, and his broad wisdom scatters into news, arguments, and petty dealings. It inclines to a generosity of words more than of deeds, to faith debated rather than lived, to a learning that multiplies the branches and loses the trunk. Mercury whittles what Jupiter would have whole: justice turns to advocacy, religion turns to controversy, abundance turns to inventory. It gives a wit for teaching and persuading, a facility in a thousand trades of the pen and the tongue. But because the greater benefic has no dwelling here, measure escapes him: he promises too much, spreads himself too thin, and the grave judgement dwindles to a light opinion that shifts with the wind of the mutable air.
