Gemini Decan 2 is ruled by Mars. The Sun takes giant leaps through the constellations of the Hunter, the Hare, the Charioteer and the River from June 1-11. This is the zone of the speed freaks and multi-taskers. The hare is known for its swiftness while the charioteer thunders across the sky while holding a whole family of goats! These people don’t do anything by halves. All too often however, Gemini decan 2 just takes on far too much and then suffers burn out. Having an accident or becoming ill is the only way they may get any rest. These subjects can also become totally driven by their desires, Orion is the hunter, so stalking is their speciality. This is surprising in a sign supposed to be so carefree and light-hearted. This decan is ruled by Mars, which is either sex or war, so these twins can get extremely irritable when they can’t channel their libido.
Orion is also the most lusty, phallic constellation in the sky, rivalling only Aries and Taurus in virility. But where the Ram and the Bull are fuelled by procreation and biology, Orion loves the whole drama and courtship of sex. The chase is the best bit, lots of twists and turns, intrigue, titillation and teasing. Sex can also be a sedative for Gemini decan 2, orgasm will be an explosive release of tension. The twins here are extra inquisitive, intellectually daring, and their mind is as agile as their bodies. They need to have this acrobatic ability since their propensity for living on the edge means they often have to make very narrow escapes. They get away with it so often that think they are immortal. Both stars of Orion featured here are connected with victory, or boasting victory over nature. The charioteer has to learn to keep its wayward passions on a tight rein. Channelling Gemini decan 2’s fast and furious mental gymnastics into science and engineering would be a good outlet. They would make fantastic formula one drivers, but are not great with suburban speed limits…

Tabit is found in the lion’s skin that Orion holds so triumphantly. This is a great warrior and needs to display it. “Orion will fashion alert minds and agile bodies, souls prompt to respond to duty’s call, and hearts which press on with unflagging energy in spite of every trial.” ~ Manilus. Orion’s sexual energy seems to be about conquering territory; his sword hangs suggestively below his belt. If you look at naked Orion in a sky without light pollution and cloud, the phallus is very clear! For the Egyptians of course Orion was Osiris and we know that the missing member was an important element of his resurrection. With the mix of phalluses and chariots one thinks of fancy sports cars as penis extensions here. Auriga is represented in the sky as a charioteer carrying a mother goat nursing two baby goats in his lap. Diana K Rosenberg interestingly suggests in her findings that the Chariot could also symbolise a wheelchair. She points out Erichthonuis the charioteer was actually half human/half snake and could not walk. In her book she depicts Auriga as a war veteran in a wheelchair (Still carrying the goat family). I’m not sure about the modern symbolism myself however as Auriga as a constellation is very complex.
Roller Coasting
To me Auriga could be a single parent, juggling work while bringing up a family. I also feel Gemini decan 2 has an issue with emasculation (Hence over compensating with fast cars and fast women..) If Auriga stars describe a male single parent, then he could feel his manhood is compromised by having to play mummy. A parent of either sex may think they have to rein in their desires for the sake of their children. These desires are represented by the two kid goats Hoedus I & II. These twin stars have a dubious reputation according to George Noonan when rising “ indicates a native who may be petulant and lascivious, one who is said to be involved in depraved and vicious desires.” Generally however this constellation gives happiness, confidence, a desire to address social problems and great interest in the education of children. Since Erichthonuis was abandoned by his mother (His serpent bottom half disgusted her) and brought up by Pallas Athena, I think adopting handicapped or disadvantaged children may be an attribute of Gemini decan 2. The subject themselves may feel ugly, deformed and rejected as some kind of a freak.
There are two stars in the constellation of Lepus the Hare, like the rabbit, is known for its fecundity. Robson says they are quick-witted and timid, yet defiant. The hare is a lunar beast, which in common with Orion shares the attributes of rebirth and resurrection. It is also “fleetness..the nimble mind outwitting brute force” [1] Orion thought he could outwit nature too but was brought down by a mere Scorpion for his arrogance. Which brings us to the 7th brightest star in the sky Rigel, a very noticeable blue/white star in the foot of Orion. Despite its accident with the vengeful crustacean, Rigel is still considered extremely fortunate. “It gives benevolence, honor, riches, happiness, glory, renown and inventive or mechanical ability.” This star can propel someone to a great height very quickly, Gemini decan 2 generally has great speed, vigor and an enterprising spirit. It also has the tactical skill to stalk its target relentlessly, never loosing sight of its goals. The problem is holding onto that success once they have it. In their ultra focused pursuit of their goals they may overlook the bigger picture and miss some grand flaw that opens up to engulf them later on down the road. For Gemini decan 2, capturing their prey is easy, the problem is keeping hold of it when they are distracted by yet another passing tasty morsel. Their life can resemble a rollercoaster and they often need to team up with a solid Saturnian type to bring them more stability and to fix their chariots brakes.
