Gemini
Gemini is the third Sign of the Zodiac, and those born under this Sign will be quick to tell you all about it. This is because they love to talk. It's not just idle chatter with these people, either. The driving force behind a Gemini's conversation is their mind. The Gemini-born are intellectually inclined, forever probing for more and more information. The more information a Gemini collects, the better. Sharing that knowledge later on with those they love is also a lot of fun, for Geminis are supremely interested in developing their relationships. Contact with these people is always enjoyable - Geminis are bright, quick-witted and the proverbial life of the party. Even though their intellectual minds can rationalise forever and a day, Geminis also have a surplus of imagination waiting to be tapped. Is a Gemini ever 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 people 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.
Ruled as they are by the Planet 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. It's their curiousity and cleverness that make them such a hit at cocktail parties. But they are not just good talkers - they also love to listen and learn. With any luck, the Twins will find themselves in interesting company, because if they don't, they are likely to get bored and fidgety.
However, any social setting is good enough for a Gemini, 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 is this ample energy which can also paint them as scatterbrained and unfocused but, behind all that restlessness, the Twins are busily filing all that information away.
The Element associated with Gemini is Air. Air Signs are the thinking person's Sign, 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 sides and putting forth some logical and well-thought-out ideas. This quality makes Geminis an asset to any team, and while these people are not inclined to take the lead, they are a most valuable component. It's also the Geminis' literary bent that allows them to offer a useful perspective on almost any situation.
The Twins also enjoy bringing their objective reasoning into their personal relationships. While some may perceive all this logical thought as cold and unemotional, it's simply how these people work. They want to connect, they just do it in their own way. Luckily for Geminis, their lightness of spirit and youthful exuberance help them to appear forever young.
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 are excellent 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. The twins love adventures of the mind. They also love to share themselves with their friends, and they make for charming companions
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.
