crimsoncurrentsymbols, 2 Gemini is said to be a symbol of “the natural beneficence in any normal human heart,” and “alertness to the wishes of others; the often hidden pride of benefactors.”
Pr.Diana-Kronos
We are told in the Astrological Mandala that this symbolizes "a rewarded faith in spiritual blessings,” relating to our purity of heart and our willingness to accept gifts from the invisible world. He says this is about us getting beyond “ego and rationalistic arguments” so we can experience the manifestation of what we have imagined.
He goes on to state we should not examine the gifts from the invisible world too closely, and we need to build an attitude that will help us receive gifts and blessings from the spiritual realm. He says we need “faith, purity of heart, and a common type of understanding,” as well as innocence. He says it falls in the span of Zeal, and it’s the counterpoint degree in the actional level of the scene of Discovery in the Act of Differentiation.
According to Dr. Jones, creator of the Sabian Symbols, this degree is one of “the illimitable source of everything ever needed for life and experience,” in terms of rewards. He says this is about a need for appreciation when encountering “nature’s largess and society’s favors,” where we keep spiritual values alive in the hearts of all.
He offers us the keyword PRODIGALITY. He states when operating in a positive manner, this degree is “an unusual capacity for bringing (our) possessions into a wide acceptance and for heightening every proper joy in WORDLY GOODS.”
So we'll use the illumination available over the next two weeks to see Light, Life, and Integration in our faith, purity of heart, and ability to accept the gifts from the invisible world. This implies we will find spiritual blessings, and some will find a benefactor, or someone to bless with their own way of assisting. HAVING A 'GIFT'.
The Lunar degree symbol for the 2nd degree of Sagittarius is “The ocean covered with whitecaps.” In "the Astrology of Personality," where Rudhyar uses the original Dr. Jones' class notes on the symbols, 2 Sagittarius is said to be a symbol of "glad response to a vital call to activity,” “power to stir and to impress one’s own rhythm upon materials,” and “proud adornment.”
He goes on to state in the Mandala that the keynote for this degree is "the mobilization of unconscious energies under the pressure of superpersonal motives.” He goes on to say that “wind and sea are in constant interplay,” symbolizing a “spiritual dynamism” that demonstrates “cosmic or superpersonal rhythms.”
He also offers that this picture “speaks of subtilization through rhythmic intensity.” Rudhyar says it falls in the Span of Receptiveness, and is the second degree in the Actional level of the Scene of Abstraction in the Act of Group-Integration.
According to Dr. Jones, creator of the Sabian Symbols, we find this degree symbolizes "the unending availability of everything ever needed for life and experience” which we discover via the “tireless anticipations of the human soul.” He speaks of a need to give focus “to the restlessness of an over-all consciousness” in which our “immortal being is cradled, and for channeling this into a manifestation of personal energy.”
He states we prosper as we are “self-quickened to (our) own potentialities.” He states the keyword is IRREPRESSIBILITY, and when functioning in a positive way, this degree is "an indomitable resourcefulness and a naïve delight in the problems of everyday living.”

GEMINI 2
A collection of large dried leaves, each one bearing an inscription.
A neatly compacted little world. Everything fits together splendidly. Each detail is highlighted, mentally known to be right where it belongs. But everything is static. No movement destroys the coherence. You remember the way it is supposed to be and reconstitute all good things from the past, while inwardly craving to break through to something new. The familiar mental categories accompany you everywhere. Knowing exactly what is happening is highly valued. A thousand practical gifts are made easy. Everything works smoothly. The sociocultural sphere is well-served. But underneath, slowly, gradually, you are losing all interest in this pattern and seeking a way out of it, which in the fullness of time may be there if you can let go of the need to please everybody and make perfect sense and discover the great bulk of your being lying dormant, waiting for the future to dawn. Needing relief and release to feel alive again and to know that it is possible to find real satisfaction in living.
