Today I’m delighted to re-introduce Melanie Reinhart back to the show for our Gemini interview. She was the perfect, and most obvious choice for this one with her own personal treasure trove of Gemini Planets.

Predictably, and like last time she was on the show, we went over the time limit by about the length of an extra episode. And as such I’ve split the one into two; a Gemini theme in itself.

I am in Delphi in Greece recording this episode, just 15 minutes away from the site where Pythia, the priestess of Apollo, wielded extraordinary influence over the Ancient World and brought incredible wealth to this area due to people traveling far and wide to hear her wisdom-soaked responses to querent’s questions. 

It feels fitting then to have had the opportunity to talk to Melanie, perhaps a modern day version of Pythia, from this central place of our cultural inheritance. 

The theme of our discussion is ultimately the sign of Gemini.

For this episode, part one, we talk about the Gemini discussed in Consensus Reality - the smart, witty, bubbly, sometimes fickle, intelligent and rational one. And the lesser discussed Other Twin who is rarely heard about, perhaps because there is no clear formula for how that other one will show up in the Gemini experience. 

We then get a little deeper into the mystical phenomenon of the lost twin, discussing the common experience of somehow knowing an other from the womb that we often find ourselves unconsciously searching for in waking life. 

Be sure also to tune into part two where we get a little more mythic with Castor and Pollux and the ruling deity, Hermes/Mercury, and talk about laughter and its importance in any healing journey.
