Gemini! About Your Sign...
Gemini, the sign of the
Twins, is dual-natured,
elusive, complex and contradictory.
On the one hand it produces
the virtue of versatility,
and on the other the vices
of two-facedness and flightiness.
The sign is linked with
Mercury, the planet of childhood
and youth, and its subjects
tend to have the graces
and faults of the young.
When they are good, they
are very attractive; when
they are bad they are more
the worse for being the
charmers they are. Like
children they are lively,
and happy, if circumstances
are right for them, or egocentric,
imaginative and restless.
They take up new activities
enthusiastically but lack
application, constantly
needing new interests, flitting
from project to project
as apparently purposelessly
as a butterfly dancing from
flower to flower. To them
life is a game which must
always be full of fresh
moves and continuous entertainment,
free of labor and routine.
Changing horses in the middle
of the stream is another
small quirk in the Gemini
personality which makes
decision making, and sticking
to a decision, particularly
hard for them.
Since they lack the quality
of conscientiousness, they
are apt to fight a losing
battle in any attempts they
make to be moral (in the
widest sense of the word).
Their good qualities are
attractive and come easily
to them. They are affectionate,
courteous, kind, generous,
and thoughtful towards the
poor and suffering - provided
none of the activities resulting
from expressing these traits
interferes too greatly with
their own lives and comforts.
They quickly learn to use
their outward attractiveness
to gain their own ends,
and when striving for these
they will use any weapon
in their armory - unscrupulous
lying, and cunning evasiveness;
escaping blame by contriving
to put it on other people,
wrapped up in all the charm
they can turn on. In their
better moments they may
strive to be honest and
straightforward, but self-interest
is almost always the victor.
If things go against them,
they sulk like children.
Also like children, they
demand attention, admiration,
and the spending on them
of time, energy and money,
throwing tantrums if they
don't get what they want.
They reflect every change
in their surroundings, like
chameleons, and can become
pessimistic, sullen, peevish
and materialistically self-centered
if circumstances force them
to struggle in any way.
If the conditions of life
become really adverse, their
strength of will may desert
them entirely. They can
become uncertain of themselves,
either withdrawn, or nervously
excitable worriers, sullenly
discontented, hard and irritable,
with "Self" looming
ever larger in their struggles.
On the other hand their
versatility can make them
very adaptable, adjusting
themselves to control the
world around them by means
of their inherent ingenuity
and cleverness.
Most Gemini have a keen,
intuitive, sometimes brilliant
intelligence and they love
cerebral challenges. But
their concentration, though
intense for a while, does
not last. Their mental agility
and energy give them a voracious
appetite for knowledge from
youth onward, though they
dislike the labor of learning.
They easily grasp almost
everything requiring intelligence
and mental dexterity, and
are often able to marry
manual skills to their qualities
of mind. Their intellect
is strongly analytical and
sometimes gives them so
great an ability to see
both sides of a question
that they vacillate and
find it hard to make decisions.
But their intelligence may
very well be used to control
and unify the duality of
their natures into a most
efficient unit. If faced
with difficulties, they
have little determination
to worry at a problem until
they find a solution - they
will pick the brains of
others. In their intellectual
pursuits, as in other departments
of their lives, they risk
becoming dilettantes, losing
themselves in too many projects
which they follow until
they become difficult.
In love they are fickle,
not intentionally so but
because of the basic inconsistency
of their emotional nature,
which has an amoral aspect
to it. Their is a side to
Geminians which can become
deeply involved emotionally,
and another, hostile to
sentimentality, which stands
back from a romantic situation,
laughing at it and the protagonists
in it, including themselves
while analyzing it intellectually.
Gemini subjects take nothing
seriously. So, in love,
in spite of their temporary
depth of feeling, for the
intensity of involvement
lasts only while it is new,
they are superficial, light-hearted,
cool, flirtatious and unimaginative
in the understanding of
the pain they may give others.
They like intrigue, the
excitement of the chase,
but once they have caught
the prey, they lose interest
and look around for the
next creature to pursue.
In less serious situations
they make witty, entertaining
companions, good acquaintances
rather than friends. Even
at their worst they are
never dull - there is usually
playfulness below the surface,
and they can be brilliant
conversationalists - but
they can also be quarrelsome,
prattlers, boasters, liars
and cheats.
Geminians can be successful
in many walks of life though
their general characteristics
tend to make them unreliable.
They are often skilled manipulators
of language, in speech and
writing, and may be: debaters,
diplomats (though in politics
they are more interested
in theory than practice),
orators, preachers (brilliant
rather than profound), teachers,
authors, poets, journalists,
or lawyers. In business
any work which combines
quick-wittedness with a
change of surroundings suits
them; working as a traveling
salesperson, brokerage work,
or dealing with the public
in any capacity is right
up their alley. Because
they are dispassionate,
logical, rational and analytical
they make good scientists,
especially in the fields
of medicine and astronomy.
They can also make excellent
members of the Armed Forces,
for they take danger no
more seriously than anything
else and can earn themselves
a reputation for devotion
to duty and heroic acts.
In the arts they may excel
in music, painting and sculpture.
They make good psychic researchers
of a sceptical kind. Negatively
they can degenerate into
confidence tricksters, thieves
and even adepts in the black
arts.

Possible
Health Concerns:
|
Gemini rules the arms, shoulders,
hands, lungs and nervous
system and its subjects
need to beware of diseases
and accidents associated
with the upper part of the
body, as well as nervous
and pulmonary disorders
such as catarrh and bronchitis.
Their mercurial nature may
also affect a constitution
which is not strong if it
is put under strain.
You are prone to taking
unnecessary risks and wind
up harming yourself or others
in the process. Sometimes
pursuing pleasure too vigorously
could also qualify as risk
taking.

Problems
that may arise for
Geminians:
|
As with all sun signs, we
all have unique traits to
our personalities. When
these traits are suppressed,
or unrealized, problems
will arise. However, with
astrology we can examine
the problem and assess the
proper solution based on
the sun sign characteristics.
As a Gemini you may see
things below that really
strike home. Try the solution,
you most likely will be
amazed at the results. If
you find yourself on the
receiving end of the negatives
below, it is because you
are failing to express the
positive.
PROBLEM: Being superficial
could be a big problem for
you in your overall relationships
with others and also in
getting ahead on many jobs
where you must endeavor
to dig deep and learn something
thoroughly. This is the
worst Gemini trait of all.
SOLUTION: To make
a conscious effort to control
this trait is the best approach
to take to this problem.
If you make a commitment
to something or someone
you should mentally force
yourself to keep that commitment
where possible. This will
be hard but it can, and
has been, accomplished by
many under this sign.
PROBLEM: Not one who
cares for peace and quiet,
you create your own problems
with loved ones by picking
arguments or tale carrying
from one to the other then
stand back and enjoy the
show.
SOLUTION: While this
may relieve your boredom,
it is something that you
should not let happen as
it could easily go out of
control and cost you the
love and companionship that
you desire. When you feel
like doing this it would
be better to take a long
walk and let the feelings
pass.
PROBLEM: Boredom is
one of your biggest problems
and you could easily fall
into mischief if you do
not find ways to alleviate
it.
SOLUTION: You have
a great many creative talents
and if you put these to
work for you in some sort
of hobby or project you
will find you do not have
time to be bored, also,
other physical activities
should be considered: workouts
at the gym, racketball,
hiking, etc..
PROBLEM: You could have
health problems brought
on by overindulgence of
food, drink, or the night
life which only gets worse
as you age.
SOLUTION: Tame your
urges and save the party
times for weekends only
and then try not to overdo
it. By keeping everything
down to a mild roar you
may not have to fight off
diseases such as obesity
or cirrhosis of the liver.
PROBLEM: You may have
the problem of not being
able to keep a spouse or
a lover due to your pursuit
of the opposite sex.
SOLUTION: Cultivate
the habit of not flirting
with every attractive person
you see and make up your
mind to be a true and loving
spouse, or don't commit
until you are really ready
to do this.

Interesting
facts about Geminians:
|
While no animal appears
to be associated with your
sign other than the wolf
in which is seen to be the
nurturing force for another
set of 'twins', romulas
and remus. The twins themselves
are their own sign representatives.
The color of choice for
Geminians is GREEN
Your ruling planet is
MERCURY
Your starstone is the moss
agate. It has been shown
to be beneficial to the
health of Geminis who are
suffering from circulatory
problems and has been shown
as an aid to getting your
intuitive feelings tuned
to a higher pitch. It is
also an aid to relieving
depression. There is another
gemstone which is used for
Gemini and that is the emerald,
but the moss agate vibrates
to the levels of your ruling
planet, Mercury, and therefore
is much more beneficial
for you.
