Gemini Season Astrology Guide: Wine Pairings by Zodiac House

Gemini Season is May 21 - June 20 

Coming in on the heels of Taurus Season we enter into Gemini Season. Gemini is a mutable Air sign ruled by Mercury and symbolized by the Twins. Gemini is an enteral student, a magician and occasionally a trickster. It's a sign that is endlessly inquisitive, comfortable with paradox, and often distractible. Gemini's are flexible, can deal with and actually thrive with a ton of moving parts and are able to recognize patterns in big swaths of information. 

Ruled by Mercury, Gemini Season brings a burst of curious, fast paced and social energy to our lives. It's the perfect time to learn a new skill, connect with others and embrace your most adaptable, multi-faceted self. So go ahead, say the weird thing and make a new friend. And whether your a Gemini Sun, Moon, Rising or none of the above, you can embrace Gemini season energy based off where Gemini appears in your chart. 

To find out where Gemini is in your chart, you need to calculate your Rising Sign. The Rising sign is based on the date, location and exact time of your birth. There are tons of free calculators out there if you don't already know your Rising sign, personally we love Chani!

Embrace Gemini Season Energy and Wine Pairings by House

The first house is the house of self, identity and appearance. As a Gemini Rising, this is your season. This is your personal new year and the best time for a personal reset. Lean into your weird, wacky, curious, and ever changing energy. 

Wine Pairing:  Celebrate the season and yourself with some Cava. The Spanish sparkling that was modeled after Champagne but while the method is the same they made something that is truly their own. 

2nd House (Taurus Rising) 

The second house is the house of money, value and possessions. With Gemini in your 2nd house this season encourages you to diversify your income and adopt a flexible approach to your personal finances. 

Wine Pairing:  As you consider all the different options for a fun side hustle indulge in some Riesling. A wine that is both deeply tied to the Earth for your Taurus rising but also extremely flexible and playful for the Gemini Season. 

3rd House (Aries Rising) 

The third house is the house of communications, siblings, and daily rituals. The 3rd house is the home of Gemini so you'll feel fully in your element. Expect a surge of social invitations, daily errands and interest in new skills during the Gemini Season.

The fifth house is the house of pleasure, romance, children and creative energy. During Gemini season you can expect a flood of new ideas for passion projects or activities that will bring out your inner child.

With Gemini in the 12th house you should let your curiosity guide your inner world. 

Wine Pairing: As you're taking some time to yourself and leaning into your own personal curiosity sip on some Valdiguie. A grape that was once confused for Gamay, it took some time to have a personal identity all it's own.
