GEMINI, LEVEL V: EMPOWERMENT
At this stage, the archetype’s potential gathers momentum, and the days of sliding back into shadowy entanglements grow increasingly rare. When relapse does occur, it’s brief, as the core of the archetype begins to solidify. The potential gains muscle, and along with it, personal empowerment flourishes. Level V marks a crucial period of realizing how to embody one's authentic power within the archetype.
Mercury/Hermes is often depicted with the caduceus staff, with two snakes winding up the stave . In the alchemical tradition of Hermeticism, this represent the ascent of consciousness that comes with depolarisation of dual energies.
With one foot now firmly planted in the transpersonal realm, subjective motives are more easily managed. The individual's archetypal power becomes clear to others, and with this clarity, there’s a natural tendency to share the surplus—helping others unlock their own potential. This stage is about guiding others in the craft of living the archetype.
On the scale between entanglement and enlightenment, the ratio tips significantly toward the latter: 25/75.
