Gemini people have a natural striving for self expression … coupled with the desire to try and impose their views on everyone else … quick in thought and action, those born under this Sign are adaptable in new situations and flexible with new ideas … they are naturally curious about everything … unlike Leo, who loves to be the star and center of attention, Gemini wants to be the entire cast, the director and the stage hand.

Books and schools are both ruled by Gemini. Geminis are dextrous and make frequent use of their hands, especially when talking. They are often fickle by nature and avoid being tied to just one thing ~ or person ~ for very long. They often suffer from nervous exhaustion in their drive to have a variety of diversions. Geminis are a lot like butterflies, gathering some knowledge from many sources, but never staying long enough to be complete. They are the quintessential jack-of-all trades, but master of none. Geminis’ rational mind is their tool, to be used to discriminate one thing from another; to catalogue ideas and principles; to choose those ideas upon which a civilization is built.

The Sign of the Communicator, Gemini people love to email, talk on the phone, write and receive letters … the urge to communicate and express themselves is so strong in Gemini that even strangers do not deter them from talking. The Twins, Gemini’s symbol shows the dual nature of this energy and the challenges confronting the Gemini personality to get a grip on the world of opposites and learn to choose the middle way.

Gemini is not represented by any animal and thus is a human Sign ~ as such, their dharma, (or service), is the task of teaching others the relationship that exists between Humanity and the lower three Kingdoms, (Animal, Plant, Mineral), as well as the Devas. Geminis move at their own speed and cannot be rushed into accepting anything they have not thoroughly explored. As such, they can often suffer from narrow-mindedness.

Gemini people need jobs with creativity; they make excellent graphic artists, (line is ruled by Gemini ~ color by Libra), musicians, professional travelers, writers, translators, lecturers, and teachers. Though relationships are important to them, being friendly and outgoing, their relationships seldom last and are usually superficial. Their love relationships are often short-lived and can be one of many at the same time. They must learn to find the middle way, walking the Path between the two great lines of force.

Planets in Gemini could function at a faster pace or on a more light-hearted level. The Moon in Gemini could play out as light and airy feelings or as a tendency to analyze and to rationalize the emotions. Mercury in Gemini could increase the restless energy of this sign, causing the mind to have increased busyness or rapid thought or the experience of receiving lightning quick ideas. Jupiter in Gemini could be a challenge … expanding on rapid receiving or exaggerating the restlessness of the mind.
