Positions
Neptune in Gemini
A deep generational placement (the late 1880s into the early 1900s), Neptune in Gemini dissolves the ordinary mind into the imaginative one, so a cohort dreams through ideas, stories, and the new ways of carrying them. At its most inspired it gives poetic, visionary thinking and a feel for the music under language. Its blind spot is the blurring of fact and fancy, restlessness mistaken for insight, and truth bent by a good story. In one person it can read as a fertile, impressionable mind that hears more than it can prove. The work is anchoring the imagination to something checkable. At your best you give the collective dream its words.
Lean in — Anchor the inspired idea to something you can check.
Watch for — Let a good story stand in for the truth.
