So what does this mean for us personally? Gemini is said to be one of the most observant signs, which is an essential skill on our journey of spiritual awakening. In fact, we might even say the whole of our spiritual path is simply observation.

The highest teaching in Tibetan Buddhism is Mahamudra (the Great Seal). In Mahamudra one practices being in one's experience exactly as it is. With no story, no narrative. Simply observing. Observing our mind and it's tendency to want to label our experience and make a story out of it. 

Simply observing, purely, without any additional overlaying from our ego-mind, is the key, and this is the path of Gemini.

In Esoteric Astrology the Tibetan says that Gemini is unique in that it's influence touches all the remaining eleven signs. Gemini is the most flexible, adaptable and changeable sign. Gemini can enter into worlds created by any of the other eleven signs, but due to their nature those signs in return cannot enter into Gemini's world. It is in the nature of Gemini to be able to enter into any experience, in order to deeply know it from the inside out. To remain in any one world, or experience, for too long would limit Gemini's search for wisdom.

As the mutable air sign, Gemini is a sign of the mind and a sign of change. It is the changeable mind. This can be a challenge at the level of the personality, but if we can become skilful as exquisite observers - if we can remain in the space of observing - we will experience the calm at the eye of the hurricane and not get tossed around by the raging winds of the thought-storm at the edge.

Worlds, galaxies, indeed entire Universes are created by mind. By observing the activities of mind, the constant change, and the relationships between thoughts, actions and our energy, Gemini develops a deep understanding of how we create worlds of experience. It is Gemini's job to be able to continuously travel through and between worlds of experience, in order to develop greater knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. Gemini can be said to be the most experiential sign. 

However, genuine wisdom does not always follow from experience, unless we enter into our experiences with the appropriate mindset and a clear motivation that we will use our experiences to further our path to spiritual awakening.

The caution is not to allow the experience to be hi-jacked and turned towards the ego's purposes. The purpose of our spiritual journey is to lessen the grip of the ego (our false sense of self) so that we may experience liberation and realize our true self, or true nature. Our ego keeps us from realizing truth. If we find that our spiritual activities, meditations and practices are actually strengthening our ego, this is known as spiritual materialism. 

If that happens we need to do something to change, and the most powerful thing we can do, is to observe the process as it is happening, stop struggling (that would be ego trying to keep it's grip), and let go. Keep letting go,  observe, and ride the change.

Constant change, relaxing into that change, letting go, and all the time observing. This is the key to releasing ego's grip, and it is the spiritual path of Gemini.

As the grip of ego lessens, and we become more aligned with our heart and Soul, we begin to understand the Tibetan's keynote for Gemini more deeply:
