Gemini Season is Here to Spruce Up Your Social Life

05.19.2023 — Brittany Beringer

Calling all party animals: Gemini season 2023 is here and it’s sprucing up your social life! The glimmering sun travels through the chatty air sign between May 21 and June 21. The free spirit of Gemini will be inspiring our minds, but not even our vibrant curiosity can save us from two buzzkill planets, Saturn and Pluto, going retrograde. This is a period of massive growth when it comes to our minds and souls, and learning how to balance and set boundaries will be the center of attention during the next several weeks. But don’t fret, starchildren—Gemini’s tactfulness always finds a clever way out of the mud. So, look on ahead to what the astrology of Gemini season 2023 has to offer your zodiac sign.

Welcome To Gemini Season

Gemini is multifaceted, inquisitive, and extremely social. They’re symbolized by the twins which, per astrology, represents the duality of human nature. That’s a more formal way of saying they have totally different sides of them (who doesn’t?) and aren’t shy about changing their minds. Despite their flightiness, they love to maintain their friendships, which is why they have a reputation for owning a buzzing social life. As an air sign, Gemini appreciates a good social outing and loves to strike conversation with everyone around them.

Ruled by Mercury, it can be hard to get a word in during a conversation with a Gemini. Mercury is the planet of communication, community, and short-distance travel. These deepthinkers have a way of prodding at our ideas and urging us to explore different avenues of life. They love to think outside of the box, so their ideas might seem off-kilter (impossible, even!). But they always manage to McGyver their way out of sticky situations. 

Seasonal Forecast

The full moon in Sagittarius on June 3 is supercharging the naturally inquisitive nature of Gemini season. Sagittarius is about adventure, so this lunation inspires us to explore outside of our comfort zones. If you were eyeing a certain vacation spot or unseriously looking to pick up a new hobby (crocheting, anyone?), this is a perfect time to follow your curiosity. This creative full moon makes a trine to action-oriented Mars, too — so it’s a good time to set the projects, relationships, and goals that you hold dear to your heart into motion. 

With Venus, the planet of love and relationships, entering Leo on June 5, expect Gemini season 2023 to spice up your planner with dates, party invites, and even impromptu trips. The following weeks of the season will be great for indulging in your favorite childhood pleasures, like playing dress up or indulging in your favorite homecooked meal. Plus, Between Gemini’s curiosity and Leo’s fun-loving outlook on life, now’s the perfect time to ask questions and speak what’s on your heart.

That’s especially true as Saturn goes retrograde in Pisces on June 17, which reinforces the need to set boundaries with others and presses us to stick to actually stick to our word. So while Gemini season is all for taking us out of our comfort zones (wait, so how do you do that TikTok manifestation trick?), it’s also a month-long period of mastering the follow through. Naturally, Pisces is a symbol of fantasy and creativity — so don’t be fooled with pipe dreams or things that are too good to be true.

Gemini season sends off with a hopeful and mind-expanding new moon on June 17. This is a fruitful period of connection and understanding, so hold space to listen as much as you put your two cents in. Picking up a new hobby or losing yourself in a totally foreign topic can be great ways to honor Gemini season. Plus, the skills you learn now can set you up for a successful Cancer season ahead.
