Neptune in Gemini
Neptune in Gemini, a generation born around the 1890s: imagination carried by words, read as a gift for speech that enchants.
Meaning
Neptune dissolves outlines; Gemini lives by distinctions. In Mercury’s air sign, the planet of dreams is read as poetry carried on a stream of information. Its fog is the ease with which a good story passes for fact.
Neptune stays about fourteen years in a sign; it was in Gemini from about 1887/89 to 1901/02, so no one alive today was born with it, and it returns in the 2050s. As a generational theme, it blends imagination with communication: fascination with new media, stories and fast-spreading ideas, along with rumour and confusion about facts. That generation grew up with the spread of the telephone, cinema and wireless telegraphy. In a chart, Neptune’s house and aspects make it personal.
