Gemini
(The Twins)
May 22 to June 21
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.
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.
