Gemini 11: A new path of realism in experience
The new path...
Gemini 11 begins a new series of symbols in the five-fold arrangement. Not only is the word 'NEW' within the Sabian symbol, but as the first degree in the series, it already implies an initiation of something new. (1st female in crew)
One way to understand the new level of experience is in terms of identity awareness. In Gemini 1-5, we find an identity awareness that works through belonging to group a group identity. The dynamic may not be as stark as 'them versus us', but it is a development inherent within the series. For example, one would not be tacitly aware that a group identity... and this can be social, political, philosophical, and so on... always tends to gravitate to advantage for the membership. But this always involves excluding those who are not members.
The 2nd series Gemini 6-10, seems to get at resource, riches, and worth. For example, one can read the issue of the division of labour, owners and workers, the captains of industry versus the pawns of labour.
In Gemini 11-15, another level of refinement regarding identity awareness emerges.
'A new path of realism in experience' seems to suggest greater awareness of how things work borne out of direct experience. We could say after much experience with the way of things, a light bulb has come on (note that the opposing degree Sagittarius 11 reads, "The lamp of physical enlightenment at the left temple".
When considering the meaning of the 11th degree gemini, we can project individuals having a bright insight of some sort, allowing them to explore different pathways in life. As an example, imagine someone foregoing the rational road of business and industry, the reasoned halls of social and political philosophies, in favour of a more esoteric path of understanding... let's say the mystical teaching of Ancient Egypt and the wisdom that created the Great Pyramids based on a cosmic/cosmological, even divine sensibility.
Even though 'realism' is a word contained in the symbol, the realism that is implied is based more on what seems real, that which emerges out of experience, and opens a new way for understanding. 'Realism' implies the development in human character in the way we consider experienced individuals to be seasoned, savvy, veterans, journeymen.
So if it says in an authoritative book that such and such can not be done under such and so conditions, the Gemini 11 individual will laugh and go about breaking those rules. Why? Because he/she has already done it. it works. It is their way based on their long experience.
