Gemini season began on May 20th 2026 at 5:37 pm pst and ended on Summer Solstice, June 21 2026 at 1:24 am pst.

A season that was just a day more than the previous one, yet felt much longer than that. A feeling I attribute to the overstimulating, overactive, over-consuming energy of this season. An energy heavily activated through the Sun’s dance with Uranus, an influential planet moving right by its side all the way up through the first week of June. This transit persisted for more than half the season, and was not an easy one to experience. Looking back on it now, I see how it was this pressure cooker used to test both our individual and collective structural integrities. Gemini and Uranus together represent an electric energy in how information moves. It is a period of high mental noise and unexpected shifts.

That duo wasn’t the only major transit happening during this season. We also had Pluto and the Nodes of the Moon directly communicating with the Sun. And its important to look at their conversation too to fully integrate this season.

Pluto is a planet of power and wounding, a planet I like to look at for deeper understanding around collective generational trauma. In astrological terminology, Pluto was trining the Sun Uranus conjunction, which I translate as Pluto adding a beat to the Sun and Uranus’ dance.

Right now Pluto is in the sign of Aquarius, an energy that is forcing us to look at ourselves socially. At it’s core, Aquarian energy is humanitarian energy. That Pluto beat this season acted as a spark to lead us into a place of permanent change in our social architectures.

Then we had the Nodes of the Moon squaring the conjunction (Sun+Uranus dance) which translates as adding friction to the entire scene. The South & North Nodes represent the tension between where we have been (South Node as the familiar) and where we are being pulled to go (the North Node as our remedy for healthy change). A mix of new and old ways of existing being confronted and reviewed before we were even ready to do so.

The result of all this is a collective atmosphere of unrest, systematic confrontation, and power plays. Now more than ever, we are experiencing power wielded through mental warfare. We experienced it this Gemini season; the weaponizing of information, intelligence and distraction.

I noticed people overwhelmed by days of bombardment. Minds lacked the space to be clear. Physical and emotional theft felt pervasive—I personally witnessed and experienced three separate incidents of theft in a single week. Conversations shifted toward government corruption and control. Even without interest, I felt pulled into these conversations. People contemplating and discussing what could happen next to our lives collectively because of the powers at be.

Gemini season was also so hard on our nervous systems, a system Gemini naturally governs. The endless pace of our minds put immense stress on our bodies. I felt the weight of it in my own fatigue. The season moved like a wave: starting with panic, chaos, and paranoia, then shifting into overstimulation, and finally toward new understandings and sorting of the mind.

Even though I’ve expressed how difficult of the season it was, this difficulty is important and needed for our evolution. The Nodes of the moon weren’t just this confrontation but a catalyst for our movement and momentum towards something else.

Amongst all the chaos, mind games and unexpected, I think this season was trying to get us to ask ourselves: what does our own voice sound like outside of influence? It’s this realization that when the mind spins, it is often looping around something. And when the loop becomes overwhelming, the mind turns to distraction for comfort. And distraction in today’s world is the easiest thing to achieve! Our devices connect us but also completely distract and traps us. Our devices are tools, but we shouldn’t be using them more than our own minds. Our mind is a tool and it also play tricks on us. Gemini represents all of this. The tools but also the games and tricks.

The Gemini in all of us doesn’t want to be bored, so there is this form of distraction and over consumption that we can fall into trying to prevent boredom. And what is distraction doing for us? Because I don’t think it’s this terrible thing. Its a coping strategy at its core. Distraction has this ability to redirect the mind and lead it to new perspectives. We need Gemini season on our journey through the seasons less as a reminder for things already within our psyches and more so as a temporary shift to look in the other direction. With all the these elements at play this season from Uranus, Pluto and even the Nodes, the shift was meant to shake us. It shook our foundations so that we could build discernment. Adding new strength, skills and resources to our sense of self, identity and life perspective.

On the last day of Gemini season and first day of Summer, the realization came to me of what this season of overstimulation taught us. A lesson to come back to presence. Where our attention goes, our bodies will follow. Gemini has taught me that information can shape our physical existence if we aren’t discerning and present with it.

What we give our attention to is what we empower. What we think, speak, consume is sewn into the fabrics we weave within our lives. As we move into Cancer season, we can no longer outrun our minds. We may want to figure everything out, but a clear mind is often more blissful than having all the answers. It takes great strength to choose connection over consumption.

So to close out the madness in our minds Gemini played around with, and welcome in the nurturing season of Cancer, I want to bring it together in a question that came to me while having lunch on my back deck with zero distraction. At this moment in your life whether it is something you currently embody or still driving towards, what is your life philosophy?

I’m still figuring mine out but it may be something like..

• Never rush

• Presence is vitality

• Connection is the greatest gift

• Simplicity is bliss

How do I translate something that was felt into words? It was such a visceral and personal season for me. Soft and subtle in its teachings. To write about it feels self-indulgent. Retelling the moments I experienced isn’t quite transferable. So all I can do is lean into this season’s reflection being less about what Taurus season was like on a collective level, and more on how I feel freshly grounded thanks to a season like this. A glimpse into my living process with astrology.

Taurus season started Sunday April 19th 2026 at 6:39 pm pst and ended Wednesday May 20th 2026 at 5:36 pm pst.

This season I spent a lot of time in nature out of service. I like to see it as being held and embedded by the rivers and trees. The first orientations that showed up started with understanding the importance of proving myself to myself. But what does that even mean?

It’s an ideology that comes from the second house in astrology. The house of self-worth and value. It represents a symbolic place where we must prove ourselves to none other than ourself. It is the house Taurus belongs to, a house of tools and resources, where our foundation of self is built. Taurus teaches us how to trust our instincts, leaning into what our bodies know before our minds can comprehend.

In Aries season I was hit with the realization of neglecting part of my own authenticity and action, so naturally Taurus got to work in revealing to me how not to do that anymore. What I started to touch upon is the notion that building self-trust is an architectural process. Trusting your instincts is hard and it only gets stronger when you work on creating a sense of safety in yourself first. As cliche as it is, keeping your promises to yourself is how we build that trust muscle.

Completing the things we said we were going to start means we are living up to our own expectations. Taurus is that part of us that needs a sense of security and safety to feel alive. At its highest expression Taurus wants us to move away from external validation or manufactured needs and toward a grounded sense of self-trust and reliance. Because if we don’t, we start to become stuck. That is the shadow of Taurus, unable to move forward, becoming too sedentary in our life. Too stuck in our ways or attached to materialism because we’ve lost value and security within ourself.

At the beginning of the season, I started to create this foundation where I was holding myself accountable. I was checking big to-do’s and small to-do’s off my list. Even just publishing last month’s article was part of my Taurus season growth spurt.

A true illumination of safety embodiment was when a girlfriend and I went on a pilgrimage to the largest tree in Canada. Multiple times on this journey I felt nervous I wouldn’t be able to manage if something were to go wrong. If we got stuck, we had no way of calling for help since we were way out of service. If we saw a cougar, we couldn’t defend ourselves. This trip had me deep in an internal confrontation with my own vulnerability as a woman, as a human. In the end, we made it to the tree and the confronting journey was so worth it! We made it even when our fears tried to stop us. This helped me add more of an understanding to my foundation of self. I realized different circumstances require an array of self assurance in regard to a true felt sense of safety. Assurance I still need to build up within. That trip showed me that when I feel out of my depths, I need to either redirect myself or lean into trust, and at times both are necessary.

And so little by little, I’m starting to feel a sense of appreciation for what I can accomplish. Something solid is forming. This structure in myself that I’ve always struggled with can be nurtured. Instead of completing things for the sake of productivity, I am establishing myself as someone I can rely on. I’m becoming aware of stories that I’ve built up in my head that never really mattered or weren’t even true to begin with.

After this dive into a pool of self-trust and self-assurance was the soft opening in the realm of grief. I discovered that keeping mundane promises to myself created an internal stability necessary to endure deep emotional release.

In the last few days of the season, my boyfriend and I were on a camping trip scout mission for new secret spots. During our exploration, we drove up a hill to this opening in the trees where we could see the lake we were just at below. Everything felt whole. The music was just right, the scenery looked as if it had never been touched. I started crying without even knowing what hit me, gratitude and grief occupying the same moment. Later, on our way out, we past the view of the lake again, the same unknowing tears showed up on my face. My boyfriend, not one for mystical language, simply said to me “it’s a portal babe.” The word was so right, it was a portal and it opened up one in me too.

This moment showed me that the grief stuck in my body for years is starting to release with more flow, not because I found a place to put it or by forcing it out, but because I have a new foundation of trusting myself enough to let it go. I’ve been taught that Taurus as an archetype, strives to attain inner peace. And now I can I honestly say it is something we cannot find but need to build within. This season I built mine out of self-accountability, a new sense of self-trust and through the resources I’ve been quietly collecting for some time now. It is something that will continue to be crafted within me, this new state of being. I’m curious to see how it flows through the rest of the seasons, as we are still just at the beginning.

The growth I experienced during this season was brought to me through my time spent in nature. Something so fitting for Taurus season! The residue of Taurus has settled in my body and hopefully a residue of it has settled within you too. This time I don’t want to end this reflection with question. I find it unnecessary being that we are currently in such a mentally overwhelming season. So instead I leave you with a prescription to go outside without any distraction, to just sit or lay for a moment watching the trees, sky or a body of water. To breath in fresh air. To feel the sun on your skin. To let nature sow its seeds within you too.

Now, about 17 months later, I feel it’s time to deliver, for it to grow into itself.

I wouldn’t say Aries season necessarily reflected this to me but it did spark something! Aries teaches us that the first step doesn’t need to be something we overthink and dwell on, it just needs to be an ignition into something solid (aka Aries is the start and after that comes Taurus, the something solid).

I intend this space to be is a mix of theories, interpretations, and opinions all based around my foundation and relationship with evolutionary astrology. It is a language I share to bring about new ideas and perspectives within our lives. So here is where my theories of reflection finally begin. A post Aries season reflection…

Starting with the facts: Aries season begun on Friday March 20th 2026 at 7:47 am pst. Aries season ended on Sunday April 19th 2026 at 6:39 pm pst.

This wasn’t just a very solar Aries season but one that involved a collection of different energies from a multitude of planets. As the sun moved into Aries it was met along side Neptune, Saturn, Venus, the Moon and Chiron. As the sun transitioned out of Aries, it ended its run with Chiron, Mars, Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune.

This Aries season had a tumultuous quality to it. That Mars energy was strong! Life felt charged and chaotic even if it wasn’t manifesting that way in the physical sense, it was still emotionally stimulating. Not much gestation was happening that’s for sure! From my personal experience, this season became one of challenge with little to no preparation. There was no more room in what could be contained. In both loud and subtle ways, time acted out. It moved as if there was no duration, no pauses between action and impulse.

I know for many, life felt like a series of harsh hits making it extremely demanding to keep up. Demanding on our physical bodies, emotional bodies, spiritual bodies, etc.

For fun let’s pause for second and peak into how we can interpret each of the planets that were in Aries alongside the sun this season. I find it so helpful to use astrology in this way to breakdown and reflect on what parts of us (collectively) were really affected by this energy.

The impact this season had on our…

• Sun: identities and ego.

• Moon: the shifts within our emotional bodies and our needs.

• Mars: reactions, assertion, and our instinctual bodies.

• Mercury: intellectual and mental bodies.

• Saturn: our time and the structure of our physical bodies.

• Neptune: creative and spiritual bodies.

• Chiron: wounded bodies.

• Venus: values and relational bodies.

I do want to note that if you’re reading this and do not resonate with what I’m saying, that is totally valid! We all experience these energies differently. I see it as what was reflected in the collective atmosphere and not something every single person felt on a deeply personal level. It’s like the weather and the four earthly seasons we go through. I believe there’s also twelve energetic seasons we feel and experience. These are the cyclical archetypes of the astrological zodiac. They all bleed into each other, balancing out the energy all around us, just as spring, summer, fall, and winter balance out the earth.

So, Aries season was quite simply the demand that we act first and find the meaning of those acts only once we’ve had time to settle.

I personally find it difficult to see the full picture of something when I’m in it. When we’re living through a season it’s harder to understand the energy we’re actually in and confronted by. When a season moves from one to the next, that’s when reflection can happen. More can start to be observed and absorbed from our experience.

We are now in Taurus season. Many of the Aries energies have moved on, and I’m curious what it left us with. I want to theorize on it’s lessons and gifts. Asking, what was it’s evolutionary intention this time around?

Aries season was a season where I personally noticed that I’ve been neglecting two very important parts within my self and my life. Action and authenticity… and where these two things within myself meet. So I took away the lesson in assessing how I’m using/neglecting my energy.

Aries is a fire sign, yes, but it isn’t the fire so to speak. It’s a spark, an ignition. Aries is cardinal and what that means is it initiates. I think this particular Aries season came in and was the start of a new initiation process for many of us. And starting something new always takes courage and work. It can be hard, painful, and scary. A total confrontation, that is what this season triggered, and that confrontation is the gift.

From the perspective of pattern, a season like this arrives to strip away the pretence of control. If you know a little about astrology already this is part of the square aspect between Aries and Capricorn. It teaches through exhaustion and friction rather than discipline and construction. When the gestation phase is skipped, we are forced to see our own raw impulses without the softening filter of intention. We see what we do when we are exhausted and pushed to our limits, and have no time to check in with ourselves. It reveals the engine of the self when it is running on pure, unadulterated heat.

In my own life, what took over my bodies this Aries season was a commercial shoot where everything just felt overwhelming; too much, too fast, too soon. The function of Aries energy is not to ask for permission, it is to erupt. Things were chaotic, rushed, amateur, and a total battle. It was like being pushed up against a comfort zone without choice or any real realization how I ended up there in the first place. This had an affect on my physical body and my emotional body the most, but definitely bled into my ego, how I react and assert myself, as well as took up a lot of my mental space.

This situation demonstrated that when the environment is saturated with this specific Mars-heavy heat, the most basic tasks lose their simplicity and become a labor of expulsion. A high pressure, involuntary transit that forces you out of an old comfort and into a raw, unshielded reality.

So why this energy? To bypass the ego’s consent? Sometimes we experience Aries energy as an expulsion only when we are resisting the internal demand to finally initiate. Usually, we prepare ourselves to be challenged, but challenges can’t always be prepared. Aries used chaos as the mechanism to break old habits of safety. Now as we can reflect on this season, we have time to choose how we want to rebuild and move forward. We were pushed to our edges to push toward actionable growth. This is what I understand the evolutionary intention to be.

Aries acts as our first cry out of the womb. It is the ignition of a wildfire that clears the way for new growth. My wildfire was understanding that my weaknesses lie within the realm of assertion, boundary, and action. I was jolted out of paralysation and forced to see where I’m not honouring my yes’s or no’s.

So with all that being said…Along with finding your own understandings of what this season taught you, provoked in you, and gifted to you, I want to end with a question for your own reflections. Did this Aries season change your relationship to yourself in any way? To your bodies? I’m curious how we start to see our own vitality when the chaos of the world tries to pull us down into it, because our vitality is sacred and is what guides Aries energy to a version of it’s expansion.
