Gemini Season Self-Care: Mental Clarity Rituals + Journaling Prompts

Gemini Season Self-Care

Dates: May 20 - June 20

I love using the zodiac sign the Sun is currently in as a way of checking in with myself.

For Gemini Season (May 20 - June 20) the focus shifts to connection, community, and communication. Gemini is curious and playful, and loves gathering information to share with others.

When Gemini energy is out of balance, our energy can feel scattered and restless, we have trouble focusing, making decisions, and connecting to our body.

So how do we keep this energy in balance?

Meditate.

Listen more than you speak.

Journal each day.

Remind yourself that your value is not found in your social media likes.

Gemini season really calls us to evaluate how we communicate.

How we speak to others as well as ourselves. If we talk more than we listen. If we are more of a talker, wanting to fill the silence with gossip and information, Gemini season may challenge us to slow down and listen more. If we’re hesitant or afraid to speak up and share what is on our minds, we may be called to step up and use our voice.

Gemini Season Rituals

-Digital Detox: Because Gemini governs how we connect and communicate, and so much of that is done digitally, it can be a good idea to give yourself electronic breaks during Gemini Season so you avoid overwhelm and can hear your own intuition.

-Follow your Curiosity: Push yourself a tad beyond your boundaries and see what you can discover! Gemini deals with our neighborhood and network, so get curious and explore local haunts you've always wanted to check-out.

-Brain Dump Dive: Gemini Season can mean we're carrying a lot in our minds, so take the time each day to get your thoughts out of your head and onto paper.

Gemini + The Nervous System

I love using astrology to guide my self-care. Gemini rules the nervous system, which is seen in the restless, scattered, anxious, and downright nervous energy we can feel when our Gemini energy is out of balance. Meditation is key for soothing our nervous system and keeping our energy balanced. Gemini is often seen as the communicator of the zodiac, but it is important to remember that communicating is about more than just talking and chatting away, it is just as important to actively listen with empathy and a compassionate heart.

Herbal allies for Gemini Season

Our herbal allies can also help us with keeping our energy more in balance. If you find yourself feeling pulled in multiple directions, Peppermint is a wonderful herb for focusing on one task at a time. You can diffuse peppermint essential oil in your diffuser, or drink some peppermint tea. Just be cautious of using any peppermint oil on your skin, as it can be irritating if not diluted properly. If you feel the urge to rush ahead, to be first to cross the finish line and stand in the spotlight, try diffusing some lavender during meditation or just rest to help you slow down and connect back into your body.
