Gemini season: what it colors

Castor and Pollux, the Dioscuri of Greek mythology, twin brothers of whom one is said to be mortal and the other immortal, give the constellation its name.

Sailors in antiquity invoked them for the protection of ships, and the fires that sometimes dance at the top of masts in stormy weather, later called “Saint Elmo’s fire,” were attributed to them. For astrologers, this is the season of the air sign ruled by Mercury: speech, travel, curiosity, exchanges, a vocabulary that would echo life outdoors, late into the evening. None of this says what your season will bring.

Frequently asked questions about Gemini season

When does Gemini season begin in 2026?

On Thursday, May 21, 2026 at 2:37 AM, Paris time. It ends on June 21, 2026 at 10:24 AM.

When does Gemini season begin in 2027?

On Friday, May 21, 2027 at 8:17 AM, Paris time, until June 21, 2027 at 4:10 PM, that is, 31 days and 8 h.

Why do the days stop getting longer at this time?

Because the Sun is approaching its maximum height, on the road that has led it from the equinox to the solstice: its course across the sky levels off before descending. The daily gain of light becomes almost nil, a few seconds, then the length of the day decreases. The site’s engine calculates this length for the season.

What does tradition say about Gemini season?

It ties exchanges, short trips, learning, and speech to it, following the air sign ruled by Mercury, and the brothers Castor and Pollux, protectors of sailors. These are pairings of symbols in the conditional, with no bearing on your days.
