      The mythology of Gemini

      Sumerians looked at the stars of Gemini and saw a pile of bricks. Egyptians pictured a couple of sprouting plants. But most ancient peoples saw twins. In classical mythology, their story starts with Leda, who was approached on her wedding day by Zeus in the shape of a swan. Soon she gave birth to — or, to use the technical term, hatched — four children from two eggs. Helen and Pollux were fathered by Zeus, the king of the gods, and were therefore immortal. Castor and Clytemnestra were the children of Leda’s husband, the human king of Sparta, and were therefore mortals, doomed to die. Despite that difference, Castor and Pollux enjoyed innumerable adventures together. But one day, Castor was pierced by a spear. Distraught, Pollux begged Zeus to let his brother live. Zeus complied, allowing the two brothers to share the immortality that by rights belonged only to one of them. The catch was that they had to divide their time between Olympus, the home of the gods, and the underworld. Thus the twins shuttle between two homes, a situation many Geminis might consider ideal.

      The constellation Gemini

It’s hard to see a ram in the stars of Aries, but looking at Gemini, it’s easy to picture its brightest stars, Castor and Pollux, as the heads of twins. Castor is a stellar community comprising three hot bluish-white stars, each of which is a double: six stars in all. Pollux is cooler, a red giant about ten times the size of the Sun orbited by a large planet discovered in 2006 by a Gemini astronomer.

DONALD J. TRUMP: GEMINI IN ACTION

      Like many prominent people, Donald Trump was born with the Sun near the top of his chart, giving him leadership ability and a drive for public recognition and authority. His Sun is conjunct both the North Node of the Moon, an aspect that brings many blessings but also encourages narcissism, and Uranus, the planet of rebellion, upheaval, and social media. That Sun/Uranus combination makes him a natural non-conformist, a rebel with an idiosyncratic style who trusts his own intuition above all else and resists authority, even as he longs to possess it. As a Gemini, he has a style of communication and a way with words that is uniquely his own, with a square between Mercury and Neptune blurring the distinction between wishful thinking and reality. Other components of his chart amplify his vivid, unruly personality. Born on the day of a lunar eclipse, he has a full moon in independent Sagittarius opposite his Sun. That’s an exciting, vital aspect, and many people are drawn to its energy. But it also causes him to feel pulled in multiple directions and to externalize his conflicts. An unexpected key to his chart can be found in Pluto. Tucked away in the twelfth house of hidden enemies and the unconscious, it does not make a major aspect with another planet. So although his will is strong, his Plutonian drive for power is unconstrained and compulsive. Megalomania is a possibility, but so too are feelings of powerlessness. Moreover, Pluto is located midway between Saturn and Mars, thickening the brew of frustration, suspicion, and pent-up rage roiling beneath the surface. Finally, Trump has Leo rising. Leo is, metaphorically, the quintessence of gold. It explains his taste, his tan, his confidence, the enjoyment he takes in performance, and his love of the spotlight. But with pugnacious Mars conjunct the ascendant, his anger and aggression are equally on display. Quarrelsome and willful, he will never be a peacemaker. That’s the simple, astrological truth.
