Placements here are well acquainted with the process of breaking things apart, naming them to know them. Equally there is an ability to bring seemingly disparate things together in order to create something whole. With Mercury and Jupiter as co-rulers, this face seeks to explore possibilities, to investigate ideas, to learn in multitudes and to share it all with others. Gemini I is a decan of side quests.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eT. Susan Chang says this decan is “dazzled and confounded by the wealth of paths”. With the expanse of possibility and immense excitement of exploring intelligence comes the inevitable confrontation with choice. For Gemini I, having to choose one route over another can be paralysing, even painful. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe tarot card for Gemini I is the 8 of Swords, where a woman is blindfolded and bound above water. A common interpretation being that she is paralysed by endless options and an overactive mind. Kira Ryberg looks to the water in the card as the key, a reminder to honour intuition when the voices of logic become so loud they bind us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTethys, the goddess of fresh water and wife of Oceanus, is the presiding deity of Gemini I. She appears very little in myth but her name is derived from the Greek word for grandmother. Her presence here feels like a protective, waterborne remediation to the frenzied mind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e_______\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eI give you, the Gemini I talisman; a map of many side quests.
