Hank the Gemini Astrology
Welcome to the landing page for Hank Schmidt aka Hank the Gemini! Here you will find more information about my Astrological background, offerings, as well as how to book a reading with me. I use a combination of Modern and Hellenistic techniques, and use the whole-sign house system during my readings. Let’s discover who you are, together!
About me.
My name is Hank and I am a queer Astrologer living in Los Angeles, CA. Having been born and raised here, some level of knowledge of Astrology was to be expected. It wasn’t until 2024 when some of the personal challenges I was facing pushed me towards Astrology as a road map to navigate what I was experiencing, to help give language to the troublesome energies I had been experiencing my whole life, and help me see the gifts that exist in even the most challenging charts (Like my own). This is exactly what I hope to do with clients during our consultation.
Once I truly FOUND Astrology, there was no going back. The beginnings were humble, driving for Uber around LA and subjecting riders to 8-12 hours per day of The Astrology Podcast while taking vigorous notes on what I had heard in between rides. Since then, I have studied with Chris Brennan (Hellenistic Astrology), Lindsey Turner (mentorship program), as well as Vivi Henriette and Jeramie Belmay (Astrology as Creative Prompt). I also had the honor of receiving the Diversity Scholarship to the Northwest Astrological Conference in 2026.
In our readings, I hope to help you explore your shadow AND the light that is shining out from your birth chart. I will neither sugarcoat, nor catastrophize it, in attempts to show you the dichotomy that lives in all of us, in true Gemini fashion. I also hope to shed new light on your placements, specifically traditionally “good or bad” placements. Wanna know where the strengths of that busted up placements are? Wanna know why your dignified Jupiter still causes you problems? You’ve come to the right place. Let’s explore together.
Testimonials
Hank is an absolute dream and was so lovely. I had never done a reading, so he was kind enough to mix a bit of a birth chart with tarot cards so I could experience both. He was so knowledgable with my birth chart and was able to pinpoint dates and times in my life that had peaks or low points and it was really impressive. He was also able to help me understand how my personality is intertwined with where my planets are to explain where some of my emotions and feelings come from. And the cards were spot on for what I was currently going through - from my career to love life and even a big move I had on the horizon. I cannot recommend him enough!

It was a powerful and meaningful experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in this type of guidance.

It is something that will change the way you see the world and your life. I cannot wait to have more sessions. Thank you for putting time into mastering what you do.

I had such an amazing experience with Hank for an astrology reading. Hank took the time to go through my entire birth chart and explain everything in a way that was both thorough and easy to understand. It felt incredibly personalized and thoughtful. Not only was it fun, but I also walked away with some really meaningful insights and life guidance. You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does. I will absolutely be booking another reading in the future.

Hank is INCREDIBLE!! I came into my first astrology reading with little to no understanding and he was so patient and kind and broke down all of the information he provided. Hank is smart, detail oriented, funny and seriously so much fun to talk with. I would highly recommend a reading to anyone looking for some guidance or direction in life. I’ve learned so much about myself and look forward to future sessions!

I love all the readings I've done with Hank. I feel like there is a very analytical vein in his approach to spirituality that really speaks to me. He takes times to give insight and background into planetary aspects and history, and every time I walk away from our time together I not only learn something interesting about myself but the practice in general. Also, Hank knew I was pregnant even before I did so, that man really knows what he is talking about.
