The Gemini Zodiac Profile |
Dates: May 21 through June 21
Gemini is the third Sign of the Zodiac. Moving beyond the
physical exploration of Taurus, Gemini examines the world
through intellect. They are fascinated with gathering as much
information as possible, and their facility as communicators --
both written and verbal -- arises from this need. Bright and
quick-witted, people born under Gemini display great imagination
and tend to be very expressive. They love to learn. As the third
Sign, Gemini also rules the third House: the House of
Communication.

The Sign In Depth
The Astrological Symbol of Gemini is the Twins. Like twins,
Geminis often have a dual nature and are skilled at seeing both
sides of a problem, but they may also be fickle and restless.
They are changeable and sometimes noncommittal. In this way,
Gemini exemplifies the Mutable Quality assigned to it. They are
adaptable and able to tackle multiple tasks simultaneously, and
they know how to reason with people, but they may lack
follow-through or seem ungrateful. Within the Zodiac, Gemini is
opposite Sagittarius, the Sign of Philosophy. While Sagittarius
tends to have one major interest that is studied deeply, Gemini
people tend to have many different interests they study in less
detail. They love to learn, and are analytical and versatile,
but their study may be more superficial than in-depth.
Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury. In ancient Roman
mythology, Mercury (and his Greek equivalent, Hermes) was the
Messenger God. He was associated with travel and transportation.
He was a communicator, quick-witted and inventive, but he could
also be a smooth-talker and get bored easily. As a Planet,
Mercury is androgynous; Gemini is the masculine (or day) half
and Virgo the feminine (or night). Both Signs rule by words and
logic, not emotion: Gemini is interested in communication as a
way of making friends and learning, while Virgo is more focused
on the analytical side, understanding what people are really
saying. Mercury's role as communicator is exemplified in Gemini.
People born under the Twins are charming and congenial, and they
often have many friends and acquaintances in all areas of their
lives. If they aren't careful, they may appear to be scheming or
gossipy. Their facility in adapting to new challenges may seem
like opportunism. Their interest in numerous subjects shows they
are adaptable and curious, but they may seem like they lack
concentration of have difficulty making decisions. Geminis who
learn to focus and use their intellect in one area, instead of
fidgeting, tend to be very successful.
The Element associated with Gemini is Air. Air Signs are
intellectual: they tend to respond to the world through
intellect, rather than physical action, practicality, or
emotion. When presented with a new project, their mental
abilities kick in and they join the group enthusiastically.
While they don't tend to be leaders, their facility for abstract
reasoning and broad-minded outlook enables Geminis to make
strong contributions to projects they work on. Their logic and
objectivity may help them see past roadblocks caused by
emotional conflicts among others, but their intellectual
orientation may seem cold and impractical to some. It is
important for Geminis to learn that their love of knowledge can
be compromised by their short attention span, but their
awareness and intellectual approach to life can assist them.
As the Twins, Gemini is the Sign of brothers and sisters as well
as communication. They often remain youthful and lighthearted
for their whole lives. Cars and short trips are also ruled by
this Sign, and many Geminis are mechanically inclined. They are
more likely to be ambidextrous than other Signs, and can be
inconsistent. Because they are "of two minds," people
born under Gemini may tend to shift interests and seem scattered
and high-strung. Their many interests, however, makes them
entertaining and stimulating conversationalists with a carefree
and unpredictable twist.
In their leisure time, Geminis tend to enjoy pairing up with a
partner for recreation. They often have a fondness for tennis.
Their love for conversation ensures that leisurely dinners with
friends are highly enjoyable for them, and their inquisitive and
literary orientation means they enjoy mentally challenging
pursuits as well. In love relationships, Gemini is caring,
flirtatious, and playful.
Gemini rules the collarbone, the arms and hands, the lungs, and
the nervous system. People born under Gemini may suffer from
wrist problems, such as carpal-tunnel syndrome, respiratory
ailments, and nervous conditions more often than people born
under other Signs. Gemini's colors are yellow and sky blue, the
color of Air.
The great strength of the Gemini-born is in their intellectual
and conversational skills. They can analyze difficult ideas and
communicate them clearly to others. Their many interests put
them among the most fascinating characters of the Zodiac.
