There is a version of ourselves that only appears in relationship with other people. I have been thinking about this deeply lately, especially as Gemini season approaches. Gemini energy is often reduced to communication or duality, but I think one of its deeper lessons is reflection. The realization that we often discover ourselves through interaction. Through conversation, conflict, and…
There are moments when something shifts in you before you have language for it, and lately that’s exactly what this has felt like for me. I thought I was just outgrowing people quickly.
