Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac, a mutable, air sign. Gemini is represented by the Twins, and Gemini people are often of two minds. Gemini is the communicator of the zodiac, always talking with others. The planetary ruler of Gemini is Mercury, representing the sign's use of the mind. A medieval type for Gemini is the jester, whose livelihood depended on the use of his mind. Gemini's are so interested in everything that it is difficult for them to remain focused on one thing for very long.

The Sanskrit name for this month is Mithuna - the Pair
IKIIKI - Alii Twins. In Hawaiian mythology, is depicted by Twins of Alii (royal) birth. As in Greek mythology, the twins represent a mutable airy sign of the Artist or Inventor.

Beth-Luis-Nion Tree Alphabet: Uath (Hawthorn) May 13 to June 9

JUNE
June damp and warm does
the farmer no harm.

Traditional

Add chopped young leaves of angelica to fruit salads to give them fresh flavor with a hint of sweetness.

Incorporate sprigs of myrtle in the bouquet of a June bride to ensure a long and happy marriage.

Add alpine strawberries to whipped cream and yogurt, sweeten to taste, and serve in pretty glasses with fresh herbs and flowers; a lovely pudding to end the month of the Strawberry Moon.

During late June and most of July the meadows, or meads, were mowed for hay.


Native American Astrology

Many Native American traditions teach that there are twelve Earth Personalities that make up the Earth Medicine Wheel. These are an earth-centered, rather than planet-based, kind of horoscope that gives us valuable information about our totem animal, our personality, and our spirit-task in life.
