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. They are prone to taking unnecessary risks and wind up harming themselves or
others in the process. Sometimes pursuing pleaure too vigorously could also qualify as
risk taking.

Problem that may arise for you, and their solutions........
PROBLEM: Being superficial
could be a big problem for them in their overall relationships with others and also in
getting ahead on
many jobs where they 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 they make a commitment
to something or someone they should mentally force themselves 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, they create problems for themselves 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 their boredom, it is something that they should not let
happen as it could easily go out of control
and cost them the love and companionship that they desire. When they feel like doing this
it would be better to take a long walk and let the feelings pass.
PROBLEM: Boredom is one of their biggest problems and they could easily fall into mischief
if they do not find ways to alleviate it.
SOLUTION: They have a great many creative talents and if they put these to work for them
in some sort of hobby or project they will find that they do not have time to be bored,
also, other physical activities should be considered: workouts at the gym, racketball,
hiking, etc..
PROBLEM: They could have health problems brought on by overindulgence of food, drink, or
the night life which only gets worse as they age.
SOLUTION: They should tame their urges and save the party times for weekends only and then
try not to overdo it. By keeping everything down to a mild roar they will not need to
fight off diseases such as obesity or cirrhosis of the liver.
PROBLEM: They may have the problem of not being able to keep a spouse or a lover due to
their pursuit of the opposite sex.
SOLUTION: They should cultivate the habit of not flirting with every attractive person
they see and make up their mind to be a true and loving spouse, or they should not
commit until they are really ready to do this.
Some more interesting facts about your sign.........
While no animal
appears to be associated with the sign other than the wolf in which it 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 Mercury in Gemini is GREEN
Your birthstone 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 their ruling planet, Mercury, and therefore
is much more beneficial for them.
