A destroyed anthill. With harmonious aspects to Gemini, this person overcomes marginal states easily and brilliantly; in this, he is greatly assisted by mental modeling of transitional situations; in particular, he will carefully consider all the details of a future marriage (divorce), change of city (country of residence), anticipated job or education. When Gemini is afflicted, the person’s perceptions of future life circumstances will be distorted, yet he will trust them no less. For afflicted Gemini, there is generally a lightness and frivolity of thought that swiftly jumps from one incorrect judgment to another, entirely unconcerned about its contradictions and inconsistencies. In full correspondence with this, the essential circumstances of the person’s life will also change: spouses, professions, cities, countries, religious affiliations. Psychological crises will be carefully (and often completely unsuccessfully) reflected upon by the individual, yet understanding oneself will be significantly more difficult than it initially seems. The issue is that the deep inner problem in this case manifests as a large number of minor issues, rapidly replacing one another, collectively creating a vivid kaleidoscope that successfully distracts the person (and the psychologist) from the essence of what is occurring in the subconscious. Here, the main problem is superficiality in analysis and judgment, which may result in prolonging the crisis and turning it into a chronic condition. This person can articulate public opinion on matters of group ethics very well, and it is fortunate if it does not contradict their own, which is typical for an opposition between the 8th and 2nd houses, and then they need to be (forcibly) reconciled. Overall, the attitude toward collective needs is rational, devoid of excessive (and often even minimally necessary) emotions, which may change during specific group work (11th house). Toward occultism, the mental interest leads the person primarily to acquire extensive knowledge, then to mentally manipulate subtle planes (astral, mental, causal). Aptitude for hypnosis, autotraining.
Houses in the Signs. Oleksandr Kostovych
Psychological crises are usually accompanied by a multitude of minor, secondary problems. Superficial self-analysis is possible, turning the issue into a chronic one. Elusive, changeable dangerous situations, susceptibility to harmful actions. Tendency to resonate in dangerous situations. Danger from gossip and slander, air travel, hurricanes, whirlwinds, falls from height. Good for occultists—possibility of receiving information from other worlds. Inclination toward mental modeling, subtle work with words—hypnosis, suggestion, autotraining.
Pavlo Globa. Houses in the Zodiac Signs
GEMINI. Life—a rapid change of scenery and surroundings. Eternal search and dissatisfaction. Immense power of persuasion and ability to influence others. Verbal magician and harbinger. Interest in issues of life and death. Easy death with full consciousness.
