GEMINI, LEVEL IV: MESSENGER IN THE MAKING
At Level IV, the shift from entanglement to disentanglement takes root. Sleeping Beauty* has stirred. Groggy, perhaps—stretching limbs unused for lifetimes—but the eyes are open. This is a major turning point, possibly the turning point: the spiral begins its upward ascent.
Like most transition zones, there’s still a bit of back-and-forth. Old patterns haven’t completely drained from the nervous system. Echoes from the underworld may still arise—an old text, a tempting distraction, a test from the trickster gods. But now, it’s all under a different light: the premise has shifted. Growth has entered the chat.
Consciousness now outweighs unconsciousness. Potential surpasses problem. A systemic reset begins—laying the foundation for what’s next. Of all seven levels, this one is the most densely populated. Many hover here for lifetimes—and fair enough. It’s a sweet spot: self-aware enough to be interesting, still messy enough to be relatable. That said: it’s not yet rock ’n’ roll. There’s work to do, and higher ground to reach.
On the scale between entanglement and enlightenment, the ratio sits around 45/55.
*Sleeping Beauty is a befitting symbol for a potential in coma.
In the case of Gemini, Level IV might play out as such:
• Mercurial mind: The potential of the Mercurial mind starts to emerge with a growing focus on meaning.
• Genuine curiosity: A drive to understand the mechanics of the world—how things work behind the scenes.
• Mercantile talent: Skilled at navigating the world of commerce.
• Intelligence: Using mental capacities to read between the lines (inter = "between", legere = "to choose, pick out, read")—to see behind the curtain.
• Connective communication: Using communication to connect people, ideas, and insights.
• Good dancer, literally and metaphorically: Able to navigate life with grace and flexibility, both physically and mentally.
• Connecting details to the bigger picture: Recognizing patterns and linking the dots to a common denominator
• Networks of meaningful connections: Organizing networks with a shared purpose or vision.
• Uses humor to uplift, not deflect: Humor becomes a tool for connection and positivity, rather than a way to avoid deeper issues.
• Verbal skills: Beginning to communicate messages that carry genuine meaning.
