Duality is Done

As lovers of lore and cycles, passed through space and time, it’s no surprise that as a project The Femme Moon heavily utilizes archetypes and symbolism. One of the most prominent representations of historical and cultural belief throughout history is the use of Duality. Ever present in stories of Life and Death, the Sun and Moon, Good and Evil, no matter what form, opposites or two sides of the same coin, Duality has held standard for its universal appeal… and yet the bounds of binaries limit a deeper understanding into the truly complicated chaos and richness that is Nature.

Name a more iconic duo than Gemini. You can’t.

Symbolized by The Twins, Gemini is indeed the strongest astrological archetype representing Two. In Greek mythology, Castor and Pollux were a metaphor for “a dual-natured personality: sometimes contradictory but also adaptable with the capability to view life from different angles.” Ranging from two-faced devil’s advocates to the supreme social butterfly of the Zodiac, Gemini has been burdened with the perception of being flippant or to-and-fro, no matter how positive or negative the connotation given.
