The Symbolism & Psychology of Gemini

The constellation of Gemini depicts the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux. Like two sides of the same coin, the twins were inseparable from birth until they were lost to each other when Castor, the mortal one of the two, was slain in an argument.

Because of the torment and sorrow, Zeus elected to reunite them in Hades and the heavens, thus the constellation of Gemini.

In this session, we will discuss the gift, challenge, and development of Gemini, with particular emphasis on its need for broader exploration if it is to achieve the unity and wholeness that it seeks.

About the Zodiac Series

Most astrology focuses on personality traits: Aries is assertive, Taurus steadfast, Gemini curious, and so forth. Yet far less attention is given to why these traits emerge, what psychological tensions they express, and how they are meant to develop.

This lecture series approaches the zodiac through the lens of Psychodynamic Astrology. Rather than treating the zodiac as a static collection of traits, it views each sign as a psychological potential, developmental challenges, and a transformative process.

Through mythology, psychology, and symbolic analysis, this series explores the zodiac as a cycle of transformation, revealing not only aspects of character but also the deeper processes shaping human development and destiny.
