Gemini
May 21 - June 21
Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac, and those born under this sign
will be quick to tell you all about it. That's because they love to
talk! It's not just idle chatter with these folks, either. The driving
force behind a Gemini's conversation is their mind. The Gemini-born are
intellectually inclined, forever probing people and places in search of
information. The more information a Gemini collects, the better. Sharing
that information later on with those they love is also a lot of fun,
for Geminis are supremely interested in developing their relationships.
Dalliances with these folks are always enjoyable, since Geminis are
bright, quick-witted and the proverbial life of the party. Even though
their intellectual minds can rationalize forever and a day, Geminis also
have a surplus of imagination waiting to be tapped. Can a Gemini be
boring? Never!
Since Geminis are a mix of the yin and the yang, they are represented
perfectly by the Twins. The Gemini-born can easily see both sides of an
issue, a wonderfully practical quality.
Less practical is the fact that you're not sure which Twin will show up
half the time. Geminis may not know who's showing up either, which can
prompt others to consider them fickle and restless.
They can be wishy-washy, too, changing their mood on a simple whim. It's
this characteristic which readily suggests the Mutable Quality assigned
to this sign. Mutable folks are flexible and go with the flow. Further,
the Twins are adaptable and dexterous and can tackle many things at
once. It's a good thing, too, when you consider their myriad interests.
The downside of such a curious mind, however, can be a lack of
follow-through. How much can any one person do, anyway?
Ruled by Mercury, Geminis exhibit a delicious brand of mercurial energy.
They are quick-thinking, quick-witted and fast on their feet, much like
the messenger god of Roman mythology that rules their sign. Geminis are
both curious and clever, which is why they are such a hit at cocktail
parties. Although they talk a great game, they also love to listen and
learn. With any kind of luck, the Twins will find themselves in
interesting company,
because if they don't, they are likely to get bored and start
fidgeting. Any social setting is a good one for a Gemini, however, since
these folks are charming, congenial and love to share themselves with
their friends. While their effusiveness may be misconstrued as scheming
by some, Geminis generally have their hearts in the right place. It's
that ample energy which can also paint them as scatterbrained and
unfocused, but behind all that zipping around, the Twins are busily
filing all that good data away.
The element associated with Gemini is Air. Air signs are the thinking
person's signs, and the Twins don't disappoint. Those born under this
sign prize intellect and consider it the key to all things. At work,
they are the clearest of thinkers, looking at a project from all (well,
at least two) sides and putting forth some logical and well-thought-out
ideas. This quality makes Geminis an asset to any team, and while these
folks are not inclined to take the lead, they are a most valuable
component. It's also the Gemini's literary bent that allows them to
offer a useful perspective on most any situation. The Twins also enjoy
bringing their objective reasoning and big-picture ability into their
personal relationships. While some may perceive all this logical thought
as cold and unemotional, it's simply how these folks tick. They want to
connect, they just do it their own way. Luckily for Geminis (and their
pals), their lightness of spirit and youthful exuberance help them to
appear forever young. In keeping with that skip in their step, Geminis
enjoy short road trips -- and their agile minds and nimble hands ensure
that they could change a tire (if needed) in no time flat. Is all of
this Twin-energy more than any one person can handle? Ah, maybe that's
why they are two.
When it comes to sports, Geminis would seem a natural for doubles tennis
-- and they are. They love the camaraderie of games and play, which is
why they excel at team events. Whether it's volleyball or a game of
charades, Geminis are always ready to play. A book club would certainly
stimulate their literary minds. In the game of love, Geminis are
playful, flirtatious and endless fun. Physically speaking, Gemini rules
the nervous system, which is why Twins should practice yoga or deep
breathing techniques. Layering themselves in soft yellows and blues will
also calm their mood.
The great strength of the Gemini-born is in their ability to communicate
effectively and to think clearly. Adventures of the mind are what the
Twins are all about. They also love to share themselves with their
friends, and they make for charming companions.
