Gemini May 22 - June 21 - The Twins
Archetype:
The devilish imp. You are the one who
goes around socializing and gossiping. Everyone has a great
time when you are around, meanwhile you are giggling to yourself
at the mess you've caused. You may often be the instigator
of practical jokes and are always thinking of ways to trick
someone.
Stone: Agate.
This stone determines the truth, accepts circumstances, and
is a powerful emotional healer. It is said to improve memory
and concentration, to increase determination and encourage
honesty. The moss agate has been shown as an aid to getting
your intuitive feelings tuned to a higher pitch. It is also
an aid to relieving depression.
Ruling Planet: Mercury.Mercury symbolizes rational
thought and intellect, the gift of mediation, common sense, verbalizing,
and the tracking of news. Mercury is the messenger; with his
mental briskness and rhetoric abilities he is able to react to
any given circumstance.
In mythology, Hermes/Mercury was closely related to the Sun-god
Helios/Apollon. His task was to inform the will of the gods to
mankind, and vice versa. He also brought the wishes of mankind
before them. This required a versatile, perceptive yet sly mind,
with a good gift of observation. Hermes/Mercury is seen as the
most human of all gods. Consequently he is most likely to be
lured into temptation.
Defining Animal: There
is no animal that is 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.
Health Problems: Overall, you are quite healthy.
Your body tends to be easily affected if it is put under strain
or you don't have a way to get rid of any excess nervous energy.
A vigorous daily exercise routine will help with that, although
you likely won't enjoy doing the same old thing every day. Come
up with your own exercise program where you can be spontaneous
and creative such as tennis, swimming, running on a track, or
biking.
Gemini governs the arms, shoulders, hands, lungs and nervous
system. There may be problems with diseases associated with the
upper body, as well as nervous and pulmonary disorders such as
bronchitis and inflammation of the nose and throat. 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.
About Gemini: Gemini, the sign of the Twins,
is dual-natured, elusive, complex and contradictory. On the one
hand you may seem versatile, and on the other you may appear
two-faced and fickle. Like a child you are lively, and happy,
if the circumstances are right, or egocentric, imaginative, and
restless. You take up new activities enthusiastically but lack
purpose, constantly needing new interests, going from project
to project like a butterfly dancing flower to flower. Life is
a game which must always be full of fresh moves and continuous
entertainment, free of labour and routine. Changing horses mid-stream
is another small habit in the Gemini personality which makes
decision making, and sticking to a decision, particularly hard
for you.
Your good qualities are attractive and come easily to you. You
are affectionate, courteous, kind, generous, and thoughtful towards
the poor and suffering--provided none of these traits interferes
too greatly with your own life and comforts. You quickly learn
to use your attractiveness for your own benefit, and when striving
for this you may use any weapon available - unscrupulous lying,
cunning evasiveness, and escaping blame by contriving to put
it on other people - all wrapped up in the charm you can turn
on. You may make every effort to be honest and straightforward,
but self-interest almost always wins out. If things go against
you, you tend to sulk like children. Also like children, you
demand attention, admiration, and that others spend time, energy
and money on you, throwing tantrums if you don't get what you
want.
You reflect every change
in your surroundings, like a chameleon, and can become pessimistic,
gloomy and materialistically self-centered if circumstances
force you to struggle in any way. You can become uncertain
of yourself, either withdrawn, or very worried and irritable,
with "self" looming in the struggle. On the other
hand, your versatility can make you very adaptable, adjusting
yourself to control the world around you by your originality
and cleverness.
You may have a keen, intuitive, sometimes brilliant intelligence
and love analytical challenges. But your concentration, though
intense for a while, does not last. Your mental alertness and
energy feed your desire for knowledge often from youth onward,
though you dislike the labor of learning. You can easily grasp
almost everything requiring intelligence as your intellect is
strongly analytical and sometimes gives you an ability to see
both sides of a question, which may make it hard to make decisions.
In your intellectual pursuits, as in other areas of your life,
you risk becoming one who dabbles in art and literature, losing
yourself in too many projects which you follow until they become
difficult.
Love and Friendship: You are fickle in love,
not intentionally but because of the basic inconsistency of your
emotional nature. There is a side to you which can become deeply
involved emotionally, and another, hostile to sappiness. You
rarely take anything seriously so, in love, in spite of your
depth of feeling, the intensity of involvement lasts only while
it is new. You are superficial, light hearted, cool, flirtatious,
and often have no idea of the pain you give others.
You like intrigue, the excitement of the chase, but once you
have caught the prey, you lose interest and look around for the
next creature to pursue. In less serious situations you make
witty, entertaining companions, and good acquaintances rather
than friends. Even at your worst you are never dull--there is
usually playfulness below the surface, and you can be a brilliant
conversationalist--but you can also be a quarrelsome, boastful
liars and cheater.
Career: You can be successful
in many walks of life, though your general characteristics
tend to make you a bit unreliable. You may be a skilled manipulator
of language, in speech and writing, thus any career in communication
will suit you. In business, any work which combines quick wittedness
with a change of surroundings suits you. Basically, you could
be successful in any career where you deal with the public and
that is not based on regular 9 - 5
hours.
Because you are logical, rational, and analytical
you would make a good scientist, especially in the fields of
medicine and astronomy. You can also make an excellent member
of the Armed Forces, for you take danger no more seriously than
anything else and can earn yourself a reputation for devotion
to duty and heroic acts.
