Rising gemini celebrities6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() Whitman was inspired by fellow Gemini Ralph Waldo Emerson (born May 25, 1803), who founded the Transcendental Club, which turned transcendentalism into a coherent movement. In “Song of Myself,” he declares:įor every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.Īlthough he centers his own experience, the knowledge he accrues is not, ultimately, self-serving it also illuminates the experiences of others. Whitman was clearly inspired by his natal Gemini sun’s self-directed, fraternal spirituality. Their personalized philosophies originate from common sense, their research done themselves. While Saggitarian knowledge comes from faraway travels, Gemini’s horizons broaden in shorter commutes. While its opposite sign, Sagittarius, is associated with higher learning, Geminis are inspired by Mercury to explore via traveling and reading, cultivating an expansive worldview from the comfort and convenience of their own neighborhood. Take, for example, the most famous line of beloved Gemini poet Walt Whitman (born May 31, 1819): “I contain multitudes.” A Gemini’s truth is never singular. ![]() Combined with Gemini’s planetary signifier Mercury, the trickster god of transit and commerce who serves as a messenger between the worlds, it blesses Gemini with a multifaceted worldview. Zeus granted Pollux half of Castor’s immortality, so although their constellation lives in the sky forever, they split their time equally between the worlds of the living and the dead.įrom this myth comes the typing of Gemini as the sign of fraternity and duality. Immortal Pollux was grief-stricken, so he begged his dad to be allowed to visit Pollux in the underworld. They did everything together, but tragically, Castor-the mortal twin-died because they got too rowdy. The mythical hatchlings are technically half-brothers Castor’s dad was Sparta’s mortal king, whom the queen boned before the possessed swan happened upon her. The pair emerged from an egg laid by the Queen of Sparta, who was impregnated by Zeus while he was disguised as a swan-for some reason, he gets off on disguising himself as animals and raping powerful women (see Taurus). This symbol originates from the myth of Castor and Pollux, also known as the Dioscouri. The symbol representing Gemini, a pair of twins, seems to perfectly encapsulate what most people associate with the sign-duality (or, if we aren’t being poetic, two faced-ness).
