Karmic Saturn in Gemini

Your karmic Saturn in Gemini holds the secret to manifesting your soul purpose.

Gemini symbolizes your karmic responsibilities, duties and obligations. Its shows you what you need to do, and how to structure your life to achieve your soul purpose.

It's about facing your karmic (Gemini-related) fears. Then step-by-step… living empowered Gemini. Think of it another way…

Saturn in Gemini is the karmic reality you need to face about yourself. And once you do that, it becomes your bridge to accomplishment in the material world. Gemini...is the answer to your “How”.

Fears to face: Speaking without knowing

Commitment to make: Curious, life-long learning

Clues to how to “do” your purpose in the real world

With karmic Saturn in Gemini, you're here to expand your INTELLECT and become a master of COMMUNICATION. So get CURIOUS. Speak what matters to you… and NEVER STOP LEARNING.

Saturn is ruled by pragmatic, planner, uber-dependable Capricorn. But while Capricorn is the “good father”. It can also be a taskmaster, and a stickler for details.

So “doing” your karmic Saturn is not meant to be easy peasy.

In fact, it symbolizes the area of life in which you will feel some challenge and constriction. And where you're being called to take responsibility – applying focus and persistence in order to accomplish your goals.

Saturn abhors laziness. But it also rewards hard work. So your progress will be in proportion to how much work you put in. Progress may be slow, but don't give up!

Your karmic Saturn in Gemini is asking you to be OPEN TO NEW INFORMATION and become adept at EXPRESSING what's MEANINGFUL to you in WORDS.

Does Gemini scare you a bit?

Does “be open to new information” and “express what's meaningful” make you feel a bit squeamish or scared? Or anger you?

That's understandable. Saturn's dampening influence can make anyone shy and awkward. Fear is one symptom of your karmic Saturn in Gemini (ditto for all Saturn signs).

But walking the road of your Saturn not only helps shifts your fears – it's the key to grounding your soul purpose. You can read more about Saturn in karmic astrology here.

Manifesting your Saturn in Gemini will require some inner fortitude. But your efforts will be worth it. Your success in this area of life will be earned.

How Gemini karma might show up in your life

Your Saturn in Gemini symbolizes past lifetimes where you didn't “do” Gemini in a healthy way. Instead of expanding your intellect and being curious about what you don't understand, you may got caught up in negative Gemini: superficiality, duplicity, even lying.

So in this lifetime, your soul responds in one of three ways:

• You continue in the extremes of negative Gemini: you talk and talk, but not about anything meaningful, or you are duplicitous, adapting to everyone (or you struggle with speaking in general); or
• You over-compensate by getting dogmatic about your ideas, staying silent if you don't have irrefutable proof, or distrusting others' words; or
• You project your unhealthy Gemini by attracting superficial, duplicitous, flaky people who may lie to you or gossip, but who are really showing you a part of your (soul) self.

The potential of Saturn in Gemini: what to shoot for

Gemini is an air sign. It's adaptable, curious, an information-seeker “in the moment”. Combined with Saturn, it's a serious thinker and has the potential to be a great diplomat. However, it can also have trouble communicating and expressing its own personal thoughts: putting itself on the line.

Healthy Gemini is your capacity to concentrate, and think with an open mind. It's curious, rational and detached, not at all dogmatic. It's about exchanging ideas, communicating with others and processing what's in your immediate environment (think high-integrity journalism, the positive aspects of social media).

Gemini holds information lightly by perceiving, analyzing, differentiating, labelling and speaking – and then moving on.

The question is, does the communication have integrity, or is it slick, flaky and manipulative? It's the difference between someone who makes their opinion fact (to be accepted), or who bases their opinion on fact. This is one difference between “shadow” Gemini, and its higher potential.

Here's a “higher” level of Gemini which you may not have heard of. You know the concept of “thoughts are things”, right? Well, Gemini is not just the intellect, it's your intellectual creativity. Because your thoughts are a creative act.

So at an esoteric level, Gemini is like the divine nature of the creative mind. A talent that integrates your everyday reality… with you, a divine being. The key is in the mastery and alignment with something deeper. Not blah blah superficiality.

And here's where the challenge lies...

Divine creativity... this is an amazing potential, right? But when you have Saturn in Gemini, it's like your forward thrusters are being throttled. Which is why Saturn in Gemini can often show up as difficulties learning in school, or even speech difficulties like stuttering.

On some level, it's as if folks with Saturn in Gemini sense the gravity of their words. And with this astrological "opportunity", they'll often have something important to say! But this talent will only emerge with dedicated, Saturnian effort.

Until then... an unconscious Saturn in Gemini person may be dogmatic in their opinions, due to a deep fear of getting facts wrong. They may be resistant to any new ideas, and absolutely reject anything that doesn't come with rubber-stamped, irrefutable proof.

Does this resonate for you? If so, what's the source and what can you do about it?

Recognizing your Gemini karma in your life

“What we hate in others is consciously living within us.”

– Liz Greene

Karmic reactions can show up as your fears, projections and overreactions in this lifetime.

Your fears

• Great intellect, concentration, thinker, depth of thought… but fearful of expressing anything personal, or meaningful
• Fear or not having all the answers (so may shield yourself with stubborn, dogmatic opinions, or not speak up at all)
• Fear (or judgement) of that which is new, unproven, unexplored or irrational. If it can't be proven, it doesn't exist.
• Loneliness, due to being unable to communicate with others
• Fear of others lying to you, gossiping about you, or manipulating you with words
• Fear of being intellectually humiliated, or sounding foolish or stupid (you need proof about everything, you're a professional skeptic)
• Strong intellect but little capacity to communicate spontaneous or inner thoughts (which affects your relationships)
• Possible weakness of the lungs, asthmas, intake of oxygen (intake of new ideas)

Your projections (karmic mirrors)

• Any of the above descriptions, in other people around you
• Married to a silent type, difficulty communicatiing in relationships
• Rigid thinking, unable to take in new information and respond flexibly to it
• Having a partner who's duplicitous, possibly unfaithful – cannot trust their word
• Prone to accidents (short journeys, bicycles)… can happen when cherished illusions are threatened. May indicate that a “new outlook” is needed.

Your overreactions

• Irrational hatred of selling, sales people, marketers (whether honest or not)
• Linear thinking, in the “matrix”, never even considering the mystery of life (as it can't be proven)
• Clings to mainstream science as a religion, professional skeptic, closed-minded
• You get writer's block, or freeze when you write or speak
• Conventional thinker: ideas must be proven “acceptable” by absolute scientific evidence, or they are discarded
• Or – talks a blue streak, but only about superficial stuff "trivia or social media addict"
• Having an overriding, internal need to prove intellectual worth.

Three steps to claiming empowered Gemini

Keep in mind that these aren't really a linear “process”, it's a lifetime unfolding. But they're also a good place to start.

Step one: Read up on Gemini

Read about the energy of Gemini to understand its highest potential – and it's pitfalls. Notice your emotional reactions, that's where the growth is. You're here to master the potentials of the mind.

Step two: Face your Gemini fears

When fears of or resistance to Gemini energy come up, take that as a clue. Stay open to receiving insights on a past life that might help explain your symptoms. Tears mean yes.

Step three: Commit to empowered Saturn in Gemini

When you're looking for “How” to launch a venture, make a move, manage a situation: look to healthy Gemini. Write. Speak about something that matters to you. Be curious. Never stop learning.

Certainly, apply your intellect. But also learn how to be in the moment. Communicate in relationships. And use your mind as a springboard to creativity… and a gateway to your unlimited imagination.

Activities that align with healthy Saturn in Gemini

(Are you already doing some of these? Awesome!)

Transform impatience with superficial issues into an inner striving for truth, and “mind control” – that is, control of your own mind!

Here are some other ideas:

• Read books! Keep learning no matter what your age, become a “perpetual student” on the topics that fascinate you "become a student of life"
• Learn NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), and how to actively listen and speak (and use NLP for good, not manipulation)
s
• Explore social media constructively, as a way to share new ideas and personal opinions “in the moment”
• Delve into the mysteries of life, with a rational lens: spiritual science, the physics of the nature of reality, science and consciousness, energy and our health, just a few examples
• Join an improv comedy group to become more at ease and spontaneous
• Ride or race bikes, motorcycles, scooters, explore your community
• Take a speaking course, or join toastmasters
• When you've mastered an area, seek ways to make a contribution with what you've learned: write a book, start a blog, share your observations, teach!

Remember. Saturn in Gemini is not about being “slick”. It's about the discipline of curiosity. Intellectual understanding and rationality through study – minus the dogma or need to be “right”.

An example of divine Gemini in action…

Investigative journalist Jon Rappoport has been reporting on health fraud (and more) for decades. He's also an artist who inspires others to tap into their imaginations, and invent the life they desire. Skeptical? Why not be curious…(smile). Jon's Exit from the Matrix expand your thinking.
