There is a feeling of change in the air as the spring season heats up, and the hints of the oncoming hot, active summer season are beginning to take hold of the weather.
It’s a time of year when the days are getting longer toward the summer solstice, where the proportion of daylight outweighs the duration of the night. In the western tropical zodiac, Gemini season begins on May 22, commencing at the end of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The two were then placed in the heavens as the enduring Gemini-Twins constellation, immortalizing the myth that adds to the magical and mysterious duality of this sign’s archetype. The Dioscuri bonded eternally, with Pollux a half-god as the progeny of Zeus, sharing his immortality with Castor. Leda laid two eggs as a result of this union, and Castor and Pollux were said to have hatched from each of these along with their twin sisters, Helen and Clytemnestra.Ĭastor and Pollux are present in many Greek and Roman stories and were known for their mastery of horses. These legendary brothers, also known as the Dioscuri, were the children of Leda, who was seduced by Zeus in the form of a swan. The Gemini zodiac symbol of the Twins is based on the half brothers Castor and Pollux from Greek mythology.
