The Sun, ruler of our inner nature, is bright in Gemini. It favours writing, other forms of communication, and travel (although beware of running around in circles just for the sake of it, or because others have imposed on your good nature). Geminians are great talkers and are usually very much in demand socially, because you are so entertaining. You'd make a great talk-show host. Gemini is the life of the party.

A Dual Sign

Being a dual sign has (of course) both an up and a down-side. You are vitally interested in what's new and fashionable, though you have a healthy skepticism which allows you to see both sides of the image. You are a party animal, but like to sit back and analyse, or send up the whole procedure.

You multiply the effects of other people's energy, but can become deflated if you are out of the limelight for any length of time. Your sharp wit and excellent powers of observation make you a good raconteur, although you have a tendency to exaggerate which can cause trouble with your relationships.

Ironic Wit

You really have little faith in yourself, which you mask with ironic wit or sarcasm, but in truth you can use your flexible mind to better yourself in a surprising number of ways. You spend more time talking than eating, so you are able to stay fairly slim. Your flexible bod enjoys agile sports: gymnastics, bicycling, swimming, and so on. Favorites are tennis, racquetball and similar games involving a partner. Gemini talents include design, interior decoration, arts and crafts, magic and illusion, and music.

As the day-throne of Mercury, your strengths are in communication, both the spoken and the written word, media, gossip and trivia of every conceivable variety. A mutable (changeable) sign, you are chameleon-like in your ability to blend in with your environment, yet you stand out like a beacon when you become the life of the party, with your witty remarks and seemingly limitless knowledge about all and sundry.

Multi-faceted Personality

You love zooming around, running right left and centre. As a source of information you are unparalleled and you love to keep in touch with your friends, neighbours and indeed anyone who is on your wavelength. The mobile phone, if not invented by a Gemini, was definitely invented for you – and is certainly your most treasured accessory!

Gemini rules the hands and arms, lungs, thymus gland and upper ribs; people with Gemini active in their charts are subject to injury or infection in these areas and should resist the temptation to smoke. Geminians are also subject to mental distraction and hovering between alternatives, or attempting to pursue mutually conflicting goals.

Gemini colours are yellow and light blue, and mixed colours. Your birthstone is the agate, attractively streaked with colours like the multi-faceted Geminian personality. Gemini flowers include the lilac, azalea, and lily-of-the-valley.

Gemini in Relationships

You have a charming and witty manner, with which you are able to talk your way into and out of all manner of sexual situations. Actually, you are really rather more interested in talking about it than in actually doing it, if the truth be known. Gemini loves to talk about it, so the way to the Geminian heart is through the head, for your inclination is to express your emotions in words, filtering your feelings through your intellect. Some call this shallow, but you prefer to call it intelligent and analytical, in your wide-ranging pursuit of understanding...

Gemini, although a masculine (yang) sign, is dual by nature and inclination. So in relationship, Gemini, the communicator of the zodiac, is very likely to be attracted to or involved with more than one partner at a time. Because Gemini is not above a little innocent deception, this penchant for multiplicity can make you rather divorce prone.

However, you probably think that the joys of a ménage a trois more than make up for any risks involved. You are an exciting companion and in return you crave excitement and variety. Moreover, you operate on the understanding that you'll easily be able to smoothe over troubled waters with your silver tongue - and you are tolerant of the peccadillos of your partners, so long as they are not stolid or boring.

Gemini is a mutable sign, so you are best involved with a steadier, stronger personality who will tolerate and enjoy your butterfly socialising, yet still be there for you when the cards have all blown down. You are willing to experiment with all manner of relationship styles and so long as your partner is articulate, tolerant, exciting, adventurous and willing to get it over with and get onto the real business of talking about it, you'll be ecstatic.
