Gemini 4: Holly and mistletoe

The clinging vine...

While doing yard-work yesterday, I marveled at the grape vine. How does the vine know where to reach? What is it about the tiny tendrils that catch onto anything allowing the vine to swirl and grow and reach for the next support?

Amazing really.

The ability of vines to grow and feel their way up around and through obstacles is very much like a central motif in the Sabian symbol for 4 Gemini.

There is a clinging dynamic. Think of it as a child learning to walk. The child clings to the mothers hand for support. The mother, on the other hand, is not only helping to hold the child up, but is ready to protect against any danger that may arise along this maiden voyage.

The opposing symbol, Sagittarius 4 "A little child learning to walk"  mirrors all the sense needed to appreciate Gemini 4, "Holly and mistletoe".
