The Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Formation) says, “He crowned the letter Resh and created Mercury in the world and Friday in the year. He crowned the letter Zayin and created Gemini in the world and Sivan in the Year.”
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, which was created by the letter Resh. Resh is an expression of negative energy, energy of lack and poverty (Heb. rash).
Mercury is the communication planet. The word Kochav (Mercury) is built of two parts: Caf-Vav, numerical value 26, the same as the Yud Hei Vav Hei. And Caf-Vet, numerical value 22, the amount of the letters in the Hebrew aleph-bet.
The Zohar relates to the Hebrew letters as explained by Rav Berg in the book The Power of Aleph-bet as tools to reveal spiritual energy and draw the Light of The Creator to the world.
The most important cosmic event that takes place in Sivan is Shavuot (holiday of the weeks). From the Exodus from Egypt (Passover), we go through a cleansing process of 49 days called the Omer, seven weeks in which each day corrects one of the 49 degrees of negativity created in this lifetime and previous ones.
The fiftieth day connects us to Binah, the sefirah that stores the Light, and serves as the reservoir for all the wealth, health and happiness and more – this day is Shavuot.
3,400 thousand years ago, when Kabbalah and the Torah were revealed on Mount Sinai, all the Light that was revealed brought about bila hamavet lanetzach – Immortality. What is the connection between this historic event and our times?
Both Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and 1,500 after him, the Ari, explain the meaning of this holiday. Rabbi Shimon says that each year, on the holiday of Shavuot we have the opportunity to get life insurance – not the conventional kind, but real insurance, that guarantees a life free of chaos until the end of the lunar year.
Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai says that the holiday of Shavuot enables us to connect to immortality. During the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai, we reached the end of our correction, and were freed from the Angel of Death, from all chaos, and from Satan consciousness. The Light enabled us to achieve complete control of any aspect of our lives.
How can we reconnect each year to this primordial power that was revealed 3,400 years ago? By studying the whole night.
The letter Zayin created the month of Sivan. What is the secret of this letter? When the Creator wanted to create the world, He looked at the Hebrew letters, which are the DNA of our universe, and used them to create the world. The letter Zayin has the numerical value of seven, and the power of the Shabbat, the day the creation of the world was completed, so she has the energy of completeness.
Those two letters together, Resh that created Mercury and Zayin that created Sivan, create the Hebrew word Raz – secret. Now it is all up to us and how much we act upon connecting and activating those powers in our lives.
Gemini is an intellectual air sign. Mercury, which rules Gemini, is the planet of communication, causing any person (including anyone that has some Gemini in his chart) the desire to know.
Curiosity is the key word for Gemini. They bear an innate desire to learn, to gather information and to study for life. A Gemini knows that the more information he has, the more choices he has, and knowledge is power.
Geminis struggle with focus, choice and commitment. Anything requiring consistency or persistence poses a problem. They are known to be Jacks of all trades and masters of none.
Geminis love communication. They make wonderful teachers, lawyers, salesmen, and excel in all areas of the media – radio, T.V., stage, and more. They love freedom-based occupations that involve driving, flying and travel in general. They can be writers, journalists, and often hold more than one job at a time.
Gemini gets along with air and fire signs. Their correction is to focus. To choose one path, one teacher, the true path in life, one partner, not to jump from one subject to the other, that is how a Gemini can become a channel to share with others what they know and understand.
Shalom Aleichem…
