#47 | Melanie Reinhart | On Gemini (Pt. Two) | Castor & Pollux | Hermes/Mercury | Laughter as Medicine
Description
Welcome to Part Two of my discussion on Gemini with the astrologer, Melanie Reinhart. If you’re just jumping into this episode I suggest going back to the previous one to hear part one of our chat on the mystical experience of the lost twin.
In this episode we will spend more time in the mythic and the astrological, discussing Gemini’s position in between the earthy Taurus and the watery Cancer and its struggle to keep enough air in the room. We also touch upon the twins of Greek Mythology - Castor and Pollux - who are the bright stars of the constellation of Gemini.
The Messenger God, Hermes/Mercury, then helps us fill in the gaps as the ruling deity of this sign before we turn our attention to laughter as medicine and how it can help us recharge in times of deep grief, sadness and loss.
I hope you enjoy this conversation. If you do please feel free to send Melanie a message to let her know, or leave it as a review on your podcast app of choice.
