How to Read and Understand your Chart

The wisdom gained by reflecting on your astronomical chart will help you realise your inner potential, gain profound self-awareness, and receive invaluable guidance for effective communication.

Each of us is blessed with unique gifts and challenged by specific obstacles that are intricately tied to the astronomical sign under which we were born. These signs, rooted in the sacred teachings of Kabbalistic astronomy (mazalot), serve as spiritual compasses, illuminating the obstacles we must transcend and unveiling our sacred life purpose. The ultimate aim is to empower yourself to rise above the celestial influences and seize control over the direction of your life.

Gemini – The Third Lunar Sign

Gemini is the third month of the Hebrew (lunar) year, and is in the Central Column of the air signs.

Geminis are intellectuals who have the desire to know everything, and an unlimited curiosity to collect information of every kind. This is because knowledge is power, and the more information gathered today will make future choices easier to make. The Gemini’s need to collect information enables them to choose what is good and what is bad, what is right or wrong. This explains Gemini’s tendency to jump from one subject to the other, and that is why, of course, they have many questions, doubts and uncertainties. The end result is their reluctance to enter any sort of commitment.

The solution for this personal obstacle is certainty. There is no greater teacher than a Gemini with a firm sense of certainty. As a communication sign, Gemini can be the perfect channel, one who can learn, understand and teach. The ideal for a Gemini is to be a channel for as many people as possible, especially for those who are lost on their path, and help others to reach their own personal certainty.

The duality of Gemini is expressed in every area of life. They embody the ability to do more than one task at the same time. They have trouble with loyalty to one political party (as the servant of two masters), and they tend to change moods, like the wind changes direction and strength. That is why Geminis can be a different person each day.

Letters of the Month – Resh and Zayin

According to the “Sepher Yetzirah”, the Hebrew letters are spiritual frequencies that created the universe. A different Hebrew letter controls or influences the constellation and planet of the month. By connecting to these letters through meditation we can draw down specific energy to empower and enlighten us. The letters for the month of Sivan are Resh and Zayin.

Resh created the planet Mercury and rules over the month of Sivan. Mercury is “Kokhav” in Hebrew. If we parse Kokhav into two parts, we get the letters Caf Vav which has the numerical value of 26, the same as the tetragrammaton, the holiest 4-letter combination of G-d’s name and the essence of the spiritual realm. The second half of the word is Caf Bet which has the numerical value of 22, representing the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet which created our physical world. We can see here another hint towards the unification of spiritual and physical energies through Mercury, the ruling planet of Gemini. The letter Zayin created the constellation of Gemini.

The letters Resh and Zayin when taken together creates the word Raz, which means secret. It is during the month of Sivan that the Torah was given to the Israelites on Mt. Sinai, the ultimate secret to the workings of the universe. When taken together and meditated upon, Resh and Zayin can connect us to the energy of unity, unifying the spiritual and physical and light and dark in the month of Sivan.

Days of Connection in Sivan

The holiday of Shavuot always falls in Sivan and further represents the unification of the spiritual and physical with the giving of the Torah and 10 Commandments by G-d on Mt Sinai to Moses and the Jewish people.

The Zohar states that Shavuot is like a wedding day with the Jewish people representing the bride, and the Torah, the ultimate spiritual revelation, representing the groom.

Ruling Planet – Mercury

The controlling planet is Mercury, in Hebrew – Kochav. Kochav’s numerical value is Caf Vav = 26 (the same numerical value as Yud Hei Vav Hei or the Tetragrammaton) and Caf Bet = 22 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, together creating the most powerful and energetic combination.

Birth Qualities of Mercury

Mercury is the planet of communication, which means it is like an electrical cable, telephone wire, a teacher, an adviser, a story teller – basically anything that can transfer any information from point a to point b.

Birth Stone – Diamond – White

Zevulun’s stone was a Diamond – yahalom, white as silver, a sign of wealth. It was given to Zevulun, who was a merchant, as it causes success in business transactions. It also counteracts insomnia and brings about sleep.

Diamond Qualities

Diamond’s provide; Clarity, strength, abundance, purity, spiritual awakening, and healing.

• Diamond is known for its clarity and brilliance, symbolizing clarity of thought and focus
• The hardest substances on Earth, symbolizing strength and resilience
• Associated with abundance and prosperity, attracting wealth and success into one’s life.
• Enhances purity and integrity, 
• Honesty and transparency
• Facilitates spiritual awakening and enlightenment
• Healing and protective qualities, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being

Sivan – Gemini (Teumim)

A person born during the month of Sivan is ruled by the lungs. They love to talk and be witty. Great gulps of air are often required to keep the stream going, resulting in infectious agents often getting stuck straight into their lungs. Manitaining a slightly slower pace can be useful and using a mask when working amid dust.

Taking time to vacuum the mattress and pillows between bed sheet changes and keeping the night stand dust free can make a huge difference. 

The Month of Sivan

The month of Sivan is connected to the astrological sign of Gemini. Kabbalists explain that Sivan or Gemini is the third month in the Hebrew calendar and symbolizes the “central column”, represented by the number 3. As the central column, the month has the energy of balance – balancing the right column energy of mercy and the left column energy of judgment.

Likewise we have an opportunity during Sivan to balance the opposing energies of the astrological twins of Gemini. We read about twins in the Torah story of Rebecca who is carrying twin sons Jacob and Esau. Every time she would pass a Holy place representing spirituality, Jacob would kick. When she passed a negative place representing physicality, Esau would kick. We have the power during Sivan to combine the opposing energies of the twins into one and integrate the energies of Light and Darkness within each of us.

Week 4

During this time, remove any dead plants to make room for fall crops or to improve the apperance of the garden. 

Significant Events of the Month

Many secrets were revealed in the cosmos during the month of Gemini. Sivan is known as the month of “Matan Torah – the giving of the Torah.” The sixth day of the month, the holiday of Shavuot, is the cosmic day on which we finish the counting of the Omer. When the awesome Light of freedom was revealed on Pesach, this Light was given to us with no effort from our side. That is why we “count the Omer”; to build vessels through correcting our actions that cause the Light to be concealed.

On this fiftieth day after Pesach, we reach the level of Binah. An awesome amount of Light is revealed on the day of Shavuot, as it is the anniversary of when people of the world received the Torah and the energy of Zeir Anpin, andthe endless Light of “bila hamavet lanetzach – when death was swallowed up forever”, which resulted in immortality. The very same energy of immortality is revealed each year on Shavuot. The Arisays that whoever remains awake on Shavuot, engaging in Zohar study, is promised total protection and safety unti Rosh Hashanna.

Eternal Covernant

Shavuot also means “oaths,” for on this day G‑d swore eternal devotion to us, and we in turn pledged everlasting loyalty to Him.
