Here, opposing forces in their essential forms cannot wholly coexist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe Sun and Saturn, co-rulers of Gemini III, oppose one another in traditional domicile rulership. When light and dark - day and night - are at their precipice, there is no grey or dusk to be found, only a fundamental discord between the two. Wrought with extremes, Gemini III’s path to unity requires difficult decision making that innately bears consequence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWe have an abundance of myths that tell a story of twins where one of two meet their death. The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, are the twins represented in the constellation of Gemini. When Castor dies, Pollux asks Zeus to share his gift of immortality with his brother and while it is granted, the Fates require the twins to alternate their days in Olympus and Hades. Austin Coppock reflects on their story and the death of one, saying “the polarity has been mitigated and a dynamic unity achieved”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWhere the Sun and Saturn come together is in their desire for consistent, steady and long-term dedication. When Gemini III placements decidedly commit to learning something, they have the ability to follow the road to mastery: whether that be in service to\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eintellectual pursuits or their craft. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePraxidike, the goddess of exacting justice, is the presiding deity over Gemini III. In the image of the high judge, she offers Saturnian responsibility and wisdom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAs the executioner, she wields the blade. She oversees life or death decisions and bears the weight of justice. The stakes are high, or at least feel that way for Gemini III placements. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe tarot card associated with this face is the 10 of swords.
