Gemini - Blog Posts
We're the lucky ones, the ones who love the ones who lost the ones who stay up late the ones still trying the ones in debt the ones who are sorry the ones who create the ones with regrets the ones still changing the ones still looking the ones who die over and over again for their art, we're the lucky ones because we have so much to look forward to.
I’ve been cursed with a vivid memory. I remember everything. Mistakes I’ve made, people who hurt me, that girl in the 4th grade who told me we would get married at 28, all the criticism I’ve gotten, the bad things my friends say about people when they’re not around, the text message I accidentally read when I looked over your shoulder last night, and everything in-between. A vivid memory is unforgiving. The world can be a hard place to navigate when you’re constantly being reminded about all of the things that didn’t go right, or trying to smile at all of your critics. Sometimes I just want to shut down and close myself off, and take a break from pretending. Acting like I don’t remember what happened yesterday, or last year, or when I was 8 becomes exhausting.

The Signs as Types of Magic/Divination
The suffix “-mancy” comes from Ancient Greek «μαντεία»(“divination”), coming from either «μάγος»(“mage”, from Persian “al-Maguś” which refers to a Mede tribe known as Mages) or «μαίνειν», “to delirate”, with regards to the divine possession which took part within the oracles: this was called «ενθουσιασμός», (from the preposition εν meaning “inside” and θεός, “god”). In fact, as Cicero said in his work De divinatione, expressing it not as his thought but the opinion of mages, “Si di sunt, est divinatio; sunt autem di, est ergo divinatio.”(II, 41). Oh, and the suffix -kinesis comes from κίνησις meaning “movement”, and the word “cinematography” comes from that, too!
Aries: Runecasting, viking practice used, similarly to Tarots, for predicting a likely outcome by examining cause and effect of a situation. The word rune comes from Nordic raunen, meaning to whisper.
Taurus: Haruspicy, the inspection of the entrails, a practice that came to Rome from the Etruscan civilization; an example of instrument used is the Liver of Piacenza (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Piacenza_Bronzeleber.jpg), and the term comes from Archaic Latin haru, meaning entrails and the root “spec-“, to observe.
Gemini: Crystal ball reading, used by Druids who would partake in it with beryl balls. It was also used during the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages (hey, one was even found in King Childeric 1st’s tomb!). Used to acquire symbolical visions of the present or future.
Cancer: Phyllorhodomancy, a method consisting in taking omens from rose leaves and rose petals. It was common in Ancient Greece to smack a rose’s petals against the hand and observe how loud the sound was, but in the 18th and 19th century it was also really common to pluck the rose on Midsummer’s Eve, wrap it in white paper and hide it until someone, who was then bound to marry the person, found it.
Leo: Solaromancy, an oriental type of divination consisting in the observation of the sun’s rays and its movement to understand possible important events in the future.
Virgo: Tarots, their ancestors were said to be wooden tablets found around 1st century AD in Palestine, and in ancient populations from the Near East these symbols were drawn on the walls of a temple’s room, where men who came to know their fate would spin around themselves until the dizziness made them fall in front of the chosen symbol. Widely spread and used for their rich details and quasi-infinite correspondences.
Libra: Cheiromancy, consisting in the reading of one’s lines of the palm in order to foretell. Bumps are also examined and the dominant hand is usually seen first, as the second one is thought to represent past life and the karmic consequences.
There are four types of hands corresponding to the four elements, and in Greek mythology for example every part of the hand is associated to a divinity (such as Apollo to the ring finger). The first witnesses of cheiromancy come from the Hindu sage Valmiki, whose teachings spread across the Mediterranean.
Scorpio: Necromancy, the art of calling the deceased from the otherworld to receive answers to one’s questions. In the Bible’s Book of Deuteronomy, for example, King Saul asks the Witch of Endor to summon Samuel’s spirit, who will foretell great and imminent destructions. The Caldaeans were also known for their practices and so the Mages, feared by the Arians. The Roman author Lucan also mentions the story of Erychtho, a famous Thessalian sorceress who foresaw the Battle of Pharsalus’ outcome. In the Middle Ages, it was also believed that necromancy would allow three things: will manipulation, illusions and knowledge.
Sagittarius: Theriomancy, method of observing an animal’s movements to predict the weather shifts, and also of predicting future events by studying mutated animals, such as a red calf or a bright yellow hen, both symbols of the gods.
Capricorn: I Ching divination, based on an 1000 BC divination text known as the Classic of Changes, in which three coins were thrown in the midst of a design of 64 hexagrams made with stems of bloodwort.
Aquarius: Rabdomancy, from Greek ράβδος (rhàbdos), rod, it consisted in watching where a stick (usually made of wood) would fall to take a decision or find a path. Used by Väinämöinen, the demigod and protagonist of the heroic poem Kalevala, it was also known in Ancient Greece.
Pisces: Oneiromamcy, form of divination through dreams that is also present in the Bible and in Middle Eastern works, it was also the main theme of Artemidorus’ Oneirocritica. Generally we can say about these predictions that each animal, type of natural element, plant or person (distinguished by blood ties or social occupation) had a different meaning.

Signs In a Shady Fight And How To Face Them
(A shady fight is a tense conversation full of shady remarks, personal attacks and it usually goes off the top pretty fast)
Fire Signs: Go full on fight mode, sick of it. To stop them, expose all their bad traits and be sure you have people to rely on (possibly not Pisceans, they wouldn’t win over a Leo easily for example) so that they feel like they better stop. Also facts can help a lot.
Water Signs: Damn good at throwing the best temper tantrums, they can make you look guilty even when you’re not. Do not answer back because it’s something they’re really good at doing, just show them facts and tell them to grow up and stop being pathetic.
Air Signs: Will avoid conflict and just tell you to get lost, just let them know you’re getting pretty done with their shit and that if they want to win this argument they better come up with stuff and stop saying nonsense. If they do, act like an Earth sign and be the adult.
Earth Signs: They tend to act snarky, mean and superior to intimidate you and feel bigger than they are. Just hit a weak spot and act like you’re having the best fun ever. They’ll slowly stop trying to hit you with facts and internally will feel confused.

The Zodiac’s Deepest, Darkest Confessions.
-Aries: some Aries natives tend to hide under an extroverted and greater-than-life personality a huge need for competition and prevailing onto others, meaning they are really good at wearing masks and playing nicey-nicey, especially when it comes to climbing up social circles. However, when it doesn’t work like they want to they become delusional, repressed and usually really menacing towards anyone who is gentle to them, especially if any of the benefits above aren’t required.
-Taurus: Damn if they are some blunt bitches. Tauruses really like making harsh comments on people in front of them and not giving a fuck, usually because it makes them feel reassured and superior. In reality, they are really fragile and in constant need of support by a group of people. In fact, the most obnoxious Tauruses have the bad habit of being part of really bad social circles.
- Gemini: Gemini’s are really caring people at the core but they really struggle with their emotions, because they want to look controlled and calm all the time and frequent lots of different environments; they aren’t fake but curious, and that’s great, but this lack of solid bases which they can count on is a problem indeed.
-Cancer: Cancers are probably the most complicated, emotional and unstable signs of all the zodiac: their friends many times ask themselves if it’s friendship or a constant fight (it’s actually hard sometimes to decide which one is more correct) and this is because right now they’re all giggles and smiles and five minutes later they will shout at you or push you away giving you a mean stare. Also they sometimes project their feelings g onto others, even to manipulate.
-Leo: Leos can be good and caring friends, but the bad ones (which, news flash, are way more common) are tremendously arrogant, defensive and always trying to act snobbish and cold with people they don’t like. They stick onto things they hate and are ready to stand for their friends really fiercely even when they’ve committed something really wrong and unexcusable. Will also try to point out your flaws just like Taurus to feel powerful and stronger.
-Virgo: Developed Virgos are people deserving of love, respect and true admiration, except for they’re rare: most of them (especially girls because women with Earth Signs are the meanest, deal with it) will be judgemental, critical of others and a clean freak, but most of all they will try to analyze people as if all the intel they collected could be used against those same people.
- Libra: Ahh, Libra, actually there are quite few bad Libras out there. But they are pretty annoying. First of all, it may seem granted but I kid you not it’s superficiality;
nobody likes that, and most of all their childish approach to some things.
-Scorpio: That’s a tough one, because even Developed Scorpios albeit wise are still pretty hard, but mostly the problem is their serious anger problems which makes them throw temper tantrums for the lightest things, and also they are really good at ruining relationship (especially romantic ones) with others because of their tormented feelings. Also they seem to hold grudges for a lifetime and can be pretty insensible when they want to.
-Sagittarius: Sagittarians are actually really good at dealing with their flaws, just like Libra and Cancer, but they usually forget that dealing with emotions and empathising isn’t a cakewalk for them. Also, their jokes and constant humor (this also happen with some Capricorns) make some of their important discussions pretty difficult to take seriously.
-Capricorn: Capricorns can be officially the meanest sign, and that’s because they can be pretty bossy, authoritarian and especially they will easily bully and humiliate other people for fun and see it as a game. Bad Capricorns love to brag about the evil things they did, and in fact they are capable of doing and saying lots and lots of very, very shameful stuff. They can be sly, selfish and really untrustworthy.
-Aquarius: Aquarians are weirdos for sure, like what is wrong with those dumbos?
Initially it looks like their only flaw is that they get obsessed with an argument even if they’re proved wrong for no reason whatsoever, and secondly they isolate themselves many times, often for the desire to be unique. In the end, they just look like the rich-but-fake-poor hippie who makes random videos about stuff and writes nonsense. And well, confident Aquarians act really, really superior to others and not in a nice way.
- Pisces: So I might seem biased on this one (and it’s because I am a Virgo) but believe me truly when I say that they are really messed up, toxic, lying and emotionally disturbed people. People often say that they have a strong sense of sacrifice: that’s bullshit, honey, it’s a Virgo thing. Pisceans help people only when it inspires them to do something better, like in social events etc. but in reality they have no problems in revealing all your deepest secrets to everyone, just to start a conversation. Anyways they will make it up and act like the loving helper who is always there, but they aren’t. Also tends to end up with bad people and likely uses substances+ gets easily irritated, nervous and sad for a whole week for one thing.

december messages for the signs🎄
use your sun, moon, & rising✨
🔔 aries – things may feel unstable in your life right now, so try to remember that you and the ones you love are safe. focus on reconnecting with people who you may have lost your connection with, and most importantly reconnect with yourself. finding stability within yourself will enable you to feel secure in your external life. december will be a positive time for you and your family.
🔔 taurus – allow yourself to fully believe in the dream you have right now. you are allowed to follow your dreams, it is our right as divine beings on this earth, so do not allow any negative thought patterns to keep you in a self-defeating mindset. whatever you are trying to create right now is slowly taking form even if you do not see it yet, so keep working hard towards your goals and you will achieve them!
🔔 gemini – this is a good time for you to let go of the things that have been making you feel so tense. make time every day to take a few deep breaths and ground yourself back in the moment. the things that were worrying you have come to pass, and there is now space to nurture and grow something new. regroup, make a plan with a clear mind, and follow through with it.
🔔 cancer – remember that nothing is ever permanent because everything is changing in every moment. if there is something in your situation that you do not like or that is not serving you anymore, let it go with love and light. you have the ability to shape everything around you into exactly what you want it to be, so figure out what you want, be adaptable, and start making the changes you want to see happen.
🔔 leo – this is a good time for you to do some inner healing that you may have been ignoring or putting off. it hurts a lot less to deal with the pain for a few moments and then never have to experience it again than it does to live half a life because you are not present in the moment. now is a time for self-care and to look at all those little cuts in your heart, where they came from, and heal them instead of trying to keep bandaging the wounds.
🔔 virgo – go through this month looking at both sides to everything. having a balanced mind will lead you to a win-win outcome in every situation you are in. look at what you need to let go in order to regain your inner balance of peace. schedule some time to meditate and really focus on the things in your life that feel imbalanced so that you are equipped to make those changes when the time comes. balance the time you give to others with the time you give to yourself.
🔔 libra – you might be feeling like your commitment to some situation is being tested right now. try not to take everything at face value, there is always more to a story than you are perceiving. look inside and question if you are truly committed to yourself. by committing to yourself you become completely confident in everything that you do because you have promised to yourself you will always do your best.
🔔 scorpio – you have been anticipating and ending for a while and it is finally coming. you are going to be feeling excited and energized when it happens because it is leading you onto a new a more thrilling path. do not let this energy cause you to make rash decisions, just know that this is happening around you and embrace it. live as your inner child for a bit, your life deserves to be fun and creative.
🔔 sagittarius – you have had some plan on your mind for a while now, but you have not taken that leap of faith towards the unknown of actually living out that plan. now is the time to make a move! you are a creator and everything in life is within your control, so take a chance and allow the universe to fill in the gaps. everything you need is coming to you, the universe is waiting to bless you with abundance, but you must be the one to make the first move.
🔔 capricorn – the connections you are making this month will be balanced, fair, and understanding. there will be a mutual respect and understanding between you and the people you are building connections with this month. let go of what is blocking your heart, not only to be able to freely flow with love, but to be able to focus more on trusting your feelings than relying on your mind.
🔔 aquarius – try to look at everything from a place of love this month. there may be chaos all around you, but when you look at it with love and curiosity it can change the entire energy of a situation. do not underestimate your power to bring love to a seemingly hopeless situation. there is no going back after you have done or said something, so if you are acting out of love, those situations will always have a positive energy in your mind and in the mind of others.
🔔 pisces – whatever it is that you have been focused on is gaining momentum, so do not give up! you are surrounded by positivity and you are heading in the right direction. you are full off potential and energy, so this is a very empowering time for you to chase your dreams. keep moving forward and you will see success in everything you want to achieve.
⭐🎄⭐
if this reading resonated with you, comment your big 3! i love seeing how the energies are playing out in peoples lives! 😇
unpopular opinion, libra men can be emotionally unavailable to and extend but they are still with you and like if you are scared to lose them that it can be mistake as emotionally vulnerable. meanwhile aquarius man is actually the emotionally available one, they just dont know how to express it so instead of express it like in front of you, they think of you forever and you cant know it. gemini man is best when you can match em, they be super fully with you but can leave you without a reason tho but they always comeback LMAO and when they comeback its never same, but gemini is actually emotionally better than aqua and libra sorry

Group shot of our Lancer RPG MSMC crew. From left to right: Watcher, Shrike, Gemini, and Archmage. (Click to open full size) We named ourselves "The Angel Killers" at the end of our last (for now?) session. This crew has lived rent-free in my mind since we started playing.
Last members of our MSMC group - my partner's Lancer RPG pilot Gemini! Gemini is made up of Esrin the human and Shadow the NHP. As of more recent game plays, Esrin has moved Shadow's casket into his brain. They are both very happy with this development.
