Gemini, Ruled by Mercury: Exploring Movement and Nervous System Balance
Gemini, ruled by the fast-moving and intellectual Mercury, is emblematic of duality, adaptability, and communication. In the realm of fitness and well-being, Gemini individuals often thrive in dynamic and varied activities that engage both the body and mind. Gemini governs the twins in the body—the lungs, arms, and shoulders—and holds sway over the nervous system, making movement that incorporates breath, flow, and coordination especially beneficial.
Our gentle Pilates online class, with a focus on the arms, shoulders, and mindful breathwork, resonates deeply with Gemini energy in several ways:
Coordination and Flow
Gemini’s dual nature thrives on activities that require balance and precision. Pilates’ focus on controlled movements that harmonise breath and body flow mirrors the natural rhythm of the lungs and nervous system, areas governed by Gemini. Working on the arms and shoulders also promotes fluidity and strength, appealing to Gemini’s need for variety and engagement.
Energy and Adaptability
Geminis are known for their restless energy and adaptability. Pilates offers a structure that can ground their mental agility while catering to their need for variety. Exercises that focus on dynamic movements in the upper body, synchronized with intentional breathing, help to calm the nervous system and channel their quicksilver energy into focus and grace.
Breath and Communication
As the ruler of the lungs, Gemini thrives on practices that emphasize breath awareness. In this Pilates class, breathwork not only enhances physical performance but also supports the nervous system, aligning Gemini’s natural propensity for communication with the body’s innate rhythm. This can foster a sense of clarity, mindfulness, and ease in both movement and thought.
Duality and Balance
Gemini’s connection to duality makes it essential to address balance in the body. Pilates focuses on building symmetrical strength and flexibility in the arms and shoulders, counteracting tendencies toward imbalance and supporting Gemini’s desire for equilibrium.

How This Pilates Online Class Aligns With the Current Moon Phase
Gemini energy is naturally mutable and thrives on quick transitions, making it highly attuned to lunar phases that encourage mental and physical adaptability. During the Waxing Gibbous phase, the rising energy mirrors Gemini’s quick-thinking and action-oriented nature.
By practicing Pilates in alignment with this moon phase, we harness the natural momentum of waxing lunar energy to improve upper body strength, endurance, and flexibility. Exercises focusing on breath and coordination can help amplify Gemini’s strengths while grounding their nervous system in calm, purposeful movement.
