SIGN LANGUAGE

Gemini

As discussed in Chapter 4 of our publication, “When to Buy and When to Sell: Combining Easy Indicators, Charts, and Financial Astrology” (available on Amazon), and our Sign Language – Introduction blog dated 3-24-24, the zodiacal signs are part of every individual and business birth chart, based on the date and time of birth, incorporation, or first public trade date (on an equity index). 

     As documented, the general/mundane zodiac begins with the sign of Aries (as the 1st house), and the houses then move counter-clockwise around the zodiac wheel, until they reach the 12th house, completing the cycle. Also noted is the fact that the 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th are the financially focused houses, though others can have minor influences. On our website will periodically discuss these energies regarding the mundane (general collective) and the U.S. Stock Market first trade date chart. 

     Today’s focus is the sign of Gemini, signified by the Twins, which resides in the 3rd house of the zodiac (based on the Aries Rising chart). Gemini is an air, mutable, male sign, ruled by Mercury. Some of its attributes include the mind/thinking, siblings, social activity, and early education. Gemini is a major communications themed sign, which it has in common with Mercury, a major communications-themed planet. The Twins, signify dual personality, and a push and pull of the equity markets. Gemini “season” (when the Sun is traveling through the sign of Gemini) runs generally from May 20 to June 20 annually, as it does in 2026. Whenever a specific sign “season” occurs, the Sun shines its energies and brings it to the forefront. 

      Historically, seasonal volatility returns, and is common during this time frame, as indecision can creep back into the investment and trading arena. Each year can be slightly different, of course, depending on macro events and other planetary transits/aspects. The S&P 500 is always affected by 2nd Quarter earnings in Gemini season, and the return of some nervousness following the stable Taurus influence.

       Last year, in 2025, Gemini season experienced Saturn’s ingress to Aries, for a brief time, before it turned retrograde back into Pisces. The S&P 500 was essentially flat, with a very modest gain of 5 points during this season. Over the years, Gemini season has been more positive than negative, about 75% of the time, with an average return of about 1.67%.

      This year’s Gemini season includes a few interesting planetary transits, including the ingress of Mercury (the ruler of Gemini), into one of its two “home” signs, from May 17 (the birth date of the U.S. Stock Market) through June 1. On that same date, Mercury will form a conjunction with Uranus (sudden change/technology) for a few days, likely to result in a rise in volatility. Communications and Transportation are likely to take center stage in this time frame. Opportunities will arise, though they will not be easy to detect.

      Also, the planet Venus will exit the sign of Gemini and enter the sign of Cancer (ruled by the Moon) on May 18 (through June 13), symbolizing a potential refocusing on the home and beauty, in sectors like Real Estate and Consumer Discretionary. The planet will also conjunct Jupiter on June 9, expanding those energies, before entering the sign of Leo for the last week of the season, potentially igniting the fashion/retail industry.   

      As previously noted, the planet Uranus finally entered the sign of Gemini, on April 25, where it will remain until 2033. Sectors of focus will continue to be transportation, including space exploration and electric vehicles, as well as advanced technology including AI, quantum computing, and photonics, with the usual volatility. 

      Finally, all birth/natal charts are unique, and every individual (or business) possesses its own set of planetary and sign positions in each house.
