Gemini Careers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the fourth in a series in which I look at careers for the various zodiac signs.\u00a0 Maybe you have children or grandchildren born under this sign, and are looking at their potentials, or you are a Gemini looking at re-training for a change of career.\u00a0 If you are Geminian and have found an ideal or fulfilling career,\u00a0 you could share that under comments.\u00a0 Often Gemini will have more than one career on the go at the same time, as spinning plates stops them from getting bored!<\/p>\n

Teacher<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Definition of Teacher Archetype from Caroline Myss:<\/p>\n

“Communicates knowledge, experience, skill and wisdom”<\/em><\/p>\n

Teachers don’t as such tend to achieve fame and celebrity, but I personally know quite a few Geminian teachers!\u00a0 And who among us doesn’t remember a teacher from our schooldays, especially those that really encouraged us.<\/p>\n

There are different ways and levels of teaching and teachers. One famous Geminian teacher is Alice Bailey, in a wider sense than just the classroom.\u00a0 She was a prolific writer on theosophical teachings.<\/p>\n

Martin Luther King, known for the power of his speeches, studied many subjects and taught philosophy in Atlanta.\u00a0 He had Gemini rising.<\/p>\n

A teacher of the more conventional kind, Michael Marland, wrote a definitive guide to the subject, titled “The Craft of the Classroom: A Survival Guide to Classroom Management in the Secondary School”.\u00a0 I know at least one teacher who is indebted to his work. He had Chiron in Gemini, being his route to healing.<\/p>\n

Another esoteric teacher, Chris Griscom, author of “Ecstasy is a New Frequency”, will be known to those familiar with my website and work, as she has been one of my great mentors.\u00a0 She is a double Gemini (i.e. with Sun and Ascendant in that sign), with in addition Uranus\/Saturn and Mercury\/Jupiter in that sign: a Gemini through and through.<\/p>\n

Scientist<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Science is primarily a province of the left brain, and as such comes under the Mercury-ruled sign of Gemini.\u00a0 There are other aspects, which especially in combination, cover different areas of science, for example:<\/p>\n

Gemini and Aries: mechanics<\/p>\n

Gemini and Virgo: scientific theory<\/p>\n

Gemini and Scorpio: scientific research<\/p>\n

Gemini and Aquarius: technology and engineering<\/p>\n

Pisces: medical breakthroughs, stemming from imagination beyond thought (e.g. Einstein)<\/p>\n

Famous Geminian scientists include: Francis Crick,<\/em> Carl Linnaeus,<\/em> Daniel Fahrenheit,<\/em> Peter Higgs and<\/em> Blaise Pascal<\/em><\/p>\n

Also worthy of note, are: Helen Sharman scientist\/astronaut<\/em><\/p>\n

and Heston Blumenthal, whose scientific approach to cooking has earned him honorary degrees from various Universities.\u00a0 In addition, he has been made an honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.<\/em><\/p>\n

Journalist<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sub Categories: Broadcaster, Reporter, Media, TV Presenter, Spin Doctors<\/em><\/p>\n

Geminian News Anchors include: Mary Nightingale<\/em><\/p>\n

Journalists include: Isobel Oakeshott, who was the political editor of The Sunday Times<\/em><\/p>\n

TV Presenters include: Dale Winton<\/em><\/p>\n

Spin Doctors include: Alistair Campbell<\/em><\/p>\n

And an extra category, Information Whistleblower: Edward Snowden – remember him? He was a <\/em>double Gemini (Ascendant and Sun in that sign) plus Mars, Mercury (conjunct the Ascendant) and the North Node in Gemini.\u00a0 An intense desire to communicate.<\/em><\/p>\n

Writer<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Gemini writing leans more towards newspaper, magazine, pamphlet, journals, and diaries, i.e. lighter writing.\u00a0 The opposite sign Sagittarius is more associated with books and publishing.\u00a0 Gemini writing is more emphasized in a chart if there is a connection between Mercury and Venus (The Writer Archetype).\u00a0 Illustrated books, such as children’s stories, are especially associated with this combination of Mercury (words) and Venus (pictures). But they say everyone has a book\u00a0 inside them (I certainly have), and here are some examples:<\/p>\n

Val McDermid – <\/em>A Scottish writer of the Crime genre, who started her working life as a Journalist.\u00a0 Val is also a double Gemini (Ascendant and Sun in that sign) plus having its ruler Mercury in that sign in the 1st House.\u00a0 The Crime leaning is due to Moon in Scorpio.<\/p>\n

Colm Toibin <\/em>– <\/em>An Irish novelist and Journalist, he has Sun and Mercury in Gemini.<\/p>\n

Ian Fleming<\/em> – <\/em>Prolific writer, and creator of James Bond.\u00a0 The character he created is reflected in his own conjunction of Mercury and Pluto (the Spy) in Gemini in his creative 5th House.<\/p>\n

Judith Kerr – <\/em>Author of the perennially popular children’s book The Tiger that Came to Tea, Judith has the Mercury-conjunct-Venus Writer Archetype, symbolic of the art of combining words and pictures.<\/p>\n

Anne Frank<\/em> – <\/em>One of the most famous diarists in history.\u00a0 She had Sun\/Mercury in Gemini, and was given her diary on her 13th birthday, her Solar Return\u00a0 highlighting this life purpose.<\/p>\n

Secretary<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Secre<\/em>tarial work has been an occupation, or side line, for many women, especially when trying to juggle motherhood and career.\u00a0 So, for example, you might find Gemini on the cusp of the 2nd House of financial earnings (as distinct from 6th House jobbing, and 10th House career).<\/p>\n

An unusual example of Secretarial work is that of an Amenuensis, a definition of which is:<\/p>\n

“A literary or artistic assistant, in particular, one who takes dictation or copies manuscripts.”<\/em><\/p>\n

An unusual example of an Amenuensis is Alice Bailey, as already mentioned under Teacher.\u00a0 She received telepathically, and transcribed, the teachings of the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul.<\/p>\n

Meteorologist<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Famous example Carol Kirkwood – <\/em>the weather girl on BBC Breakfast<\/p>\n

Sport<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In the sporting world, running (Johnny Peacock and Zola Budd)<\/em> and cycling (Mark Cavendish)<\/em> suit the light and airy style of Gemini<\/p>\n

Other occupations:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Linguist, Salesperson, Merchant<\/em>, <\/em>Train Driver, <\/em>Ornithologist, <\/em>Postman\/Postwoman<\/em><\/p>\n

Above all, if you are Geminian, you would like variety in\u00a0 your career and working life, and don’t want to be trapped in a rut.<\/p>\n

Aspects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This morning was graced by an enthusiastic and fiery conjunction of Mars and Jupiter at 3 degrees Aries.\u00a0 Any task in hand today is likely to be handled with gusto, relish and passion!\u00a0 It’s a high energy conjunction, and one you may need to pour exuberance into into a worthwhile project – don’t fritter it!\u00a0 I myself am planning a special secret mission, once I have finished this blog, necessarily secret because the conjunction falls in my 12th House of Secrets, but my enthusiasm cannot be questioned!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow (Monday, 30th) brings us a New Moon at 9 degrees Gemini conjunct the Fixed Star Aldebaran.(the Eye of the Bull in Taurus).\u00a0 Make the most of the new beginning afforded by this New Moon.\u00a0 Clear your mind in order to make your New Moon intentions along the lines of the Geminian qualities and occupations: communication, writing, travel (see above).\u00a0 If you know the House this falls in, you can further refine its application.\u00a0 The teaching profession may be one such focus.<\/p>\n

According to \u00a0<\/strong>\u201cStarlight Elixirs\u201d by Michael Smulkis and Fred Rubenfeld, Aldebaran:<\/p>\n

“This star provides a particular blessing, since it soothes the mind that is grieving the loss of a loved one – whether through separation or death.\u00a0 A greater understanding of the process of death through this awareness may bring a sense of peace and calm.\u00a0 Hope and positive energy is transferred in recognition of the\u00a0 connection and the oneness between those who might have passed over and those who are still alive, between those things that you might wish for and those you have, and between that which is desired and that which is no longer needed.\u00a0 Through this essence the entire grieving process is accelerated and assisted, and individuals coming into contact with this compassionate energy find their own inner love and their own inner strength.”<\/p>\n

This is apt and timely in our household, as we lost our 17-year old cat Tsipi last week, unexpectedly.<\/p>\n

In the morning of Friday (3rd June), there is some relief from recent communication glitches and hopefully from the air, rail and sea travel nightmares recently experienced, when Mercury is Stationary prior to turning Direct.\u00a0 There may be a turning point in your travel plans.\u00a0 Hopefully, if you have projects waiting to happen of a literary or technical nature, this may also be a go-ahead for you.\u00a0 If you have been holding back on communication, you may feel the push to move forward again with it.<\/p>\n

Another change of planetary direction concludes the week, with Saturn Stationary prior to turning Retrograde on Saturday (4th).\u00a0 We are consequently going to go through a period of revision in matters which are important to us: a lesson all about patience and timing, and one of those lessons is that you can’t rush things.\u00a0 Saturn is the Lord of Time, who reminds us that All Things Must Pass.<\/p>\n
