THE DARK SIDE OF THE SUN (3): GEMINI and SAGITTARIUS
GEMINI You have a dual nature, the light and the dark twins. It is your ongoing experience that there is something uncomfortable to be lived, lurking outside the colourful mind-bubble that you magic into being wherever you go. Your glittering, capable, likeable self is your refuge from the deeper realities. You move rapidly from one interest to the next, you have 6 different threads going in any one conversation, you are restless, pursued by that haunting Sagittarian voice that asks you what does it all mean?
You need to stop and ask yourself that question several times a day. Meaning is a feeling. You are the Air sign that takes ideas least literally. They slip like sand through your dextrous fingers. You know that words are not realities. You know that the real place is outside your everyday mind. Dare you go there? What you fear in that unknown place is not monsters but boredom. Observe and enjoy your mind from a detached place in your heart. And from there let yourself be pulled towards that which calls to you, that which gives meaning. Keep your life in that place, don’t slide too readily into the 100 other things that beckon. Then you will find joy instead of mere stimulation. The joy of the marriage of light and dark.
SAGITTARIUS Spiritual bypass. That is the name of your game. Living for God as a way of avoiding mere earthly life. You love the deep, abstract ideas that point towards ineffable Reality itself. You protect yourself with your beliefs, which you view as so profound, but which your Gemini opposite dances around, tweaking their toes while you’re not looking.
Gemini is facts and information, by which you can test the validity of your beliefs. This is probably the most difficult challenge in the entire zodiac. “A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still.” Sagittarius is big on ethics, and it is a matter of personal integrity that you can stand to one side of your beliefs in the interests of discovering what is true. Very few people can do this to any extent. For most people, their beliefs are realities, and argument consists in finding evidence that supports those beliefs. Can you be honest about your political bias, and give the other side credit where credit is due? Once you understand that your beliefs are emotionally rather than rationally held – that you believe what you WANT to believe about nearly everything – then and only then do you understand humanity, and you can be the teacher that is the destiny of your sign. There are very few real teachers in this sense.
