May 21 - June 21Third Sign of the Zodiac - Air, MutableWe find Ms Monroe involved in an activity popular with most Geminians: talking, almost simultaneously, to John, Jack and Jeffrey on the phone. That's not the complete picture, however, as Ms Monroe is actually performing a character performing a skit. Well, that's not really exact, as we are actually hearing Norma-Jean Baker/Mortensen playing Marilyn Monroe playing a character performing a skit. Is that it? Welcome to Gemini.The sign of the twins is as renowned for it's changeability, it's elusiveness, it's 'difficulty' as for the qualities Gemini would rather project: invention, wit, sheer effervescence. No matter how a Gemini may yearn to be lazy, their ruler Mercury keeps them forever on the wing; neurosis being a frequent by-product. The perky Peggy Lee will have none of this, relishing being a girl (though don't forget she's also a WOMAN), the ebullient Judy Garland on the other hand notoriously suffered the sign's extreme shifts of mood. When up, the world for Gemini shimmers with excitement; when down, the world is a dud, a counterfeit.Gemini must learn to balance their innate oppositeness, to make peace with their anima/animus, forging one being out of their multitudes, yet their aversion to limitation in any form usually prevents them settling their inner differences. Prince, to the bemusement of fans, turned himself into a symbol in an attempt to escape the shackles of Sony, while Sandra Berhard, like many female comediennes, has frequently found her wit turned against her. Still, the inventiveness of the sign ensures that whatever material life offers, Gemini will create something unique.Gemini's secret task is to filter and shape the flux of the universe, which is their true self, into patterns of communication within the framework of time. A cosmic can-can, perhaps. Who is Kylie Minogue but a kaleidoscope of brightly coloured moments, or Laurie Anderson but a hovering electronically filtered voice. But of course, this is only a play of surfaces; the real Gemini, like Ms Monroe, remains eternally, suggestively elusive (and still on the phone...)

A most entertaining interlude of madness, Luke. Very enjoyable mix and notes. Will there be an "unforseen tarot" mix?
