## Gemini Traits/Facts/Personality

The Deer: With an insane amount of energy, they are fun and intelligent creatures who aren't afraid to put themselves out there.

In Babylonian astronomy, the stars Pollux and Castor were known as the Great Twins. Their names were Lugal-irra and Meslamta-ea, meaning "The Mighty King" and "The One who has arisen from the Underworld". Both names are titles of Nergal, a major Babylonian god of plague and pestilence, who was king of the Underworld.

In Greek mythology, **Gemini** is associated with the myth of Castor and Pollux. Pollux was the son of Zeus, who seduced Leda, while Castor was the son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta and Leda's husband. When Castor died, because he was a mortal, Pollux begged his father Zeus to give Castor immortality, which was done through uniting them together in the heavens.

Geminis tend to get overly anxious about any important event of their life and this is the reason that they aren't able to perform their best under pressure. Geminis will generally judge others on basis of superficial information

Represented by the twins, Geminis exhibit dual personalities. You can never know a Gemini completely. They can be loving and gentle one moment and distant and detached the other. You never know which part of a Gemini you are experiencing.

Playful and intellectually curious, Gemini is constantly juggling a variety of passions, hobbies, careers, and friend groups. They are the social butterflies of the zodiac: These quick-witted twins can talk to anyone about anything. Find them buzzing between happy hours, dinner parties, and dance floors.

Both Gemini and Virgo are governed by Mercury, the messenger planet of communication. Despite sharing a planetary ruler, however, these two signs are opposite in their approaches: Gemini expresses emotions externally, whereas Virgo processes internally. Gemini is all about output, so these twins love to chat and often speak with their hands (which happens to be the body part associated with Gemini). Communication is paramount for them, and they require fluent streams of transmission.

They love texting and tweeting almost as much as they love talking IRL. In fact, the act of expression is often even more important to loquacious Gemini than what is actually being said — and they must remember to be thoughtful with their words. Another incredible Gemini quality, however, is that these natural chameleons can quickly recover from even the most shameful foot-in-mouth moments. Gemini moves too fast to care about embarrassing missteps: They simply move on.

Expressive and quick-witted, Gemini represents two different personalities in one and you will never be sure which one you will face. They are sociable, communicative and ready for fun, with a tendency to suddenly get serious, thoughtful and restless. They are fascinated with the world itself, extremely curious, with a constant feeling that there is not enough time to experience everything they want to see.

The Gemini personality is considered to be active and adaptable, charming and communicative, inquisitive and thirsting for knowledge, playful, outgoing, clever and imaginative. It is also considered to be self-interested and vain, overly critical, fickle, restless and prone to playing mind games and talking too much.

Ideal careers for a Gemini lie in the fields of architecture, theater, teaching, writing, public speaking, psychology, law and politics.

## Gemini Witches

Gemini Witches are witches that are under the astrological sign Gemini. Gemini is the most free-spirited Air Sign and is the most intuitive of all the zodiac signs. Due to this, Divination and Clairvoyance are two natural abilities of a Gemini. Along with Divination, Fire Scrying and Curse Casting are easy for them to do as well.

Divination is the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means. Gemini are very intuitive and usually know something will happen way before it happens. Divination is their natural ability because of this.

Fire Scrying is a subset of Divination although it's more precise. Fire Scrying is the easiest way to scry because of the flames hypnotic effect. Now you ask, what is scrying? Well **Scrying** is the act of staring into something – often a shiny surface, but not always – for the purpose of divination. Visions and apparitions may appear to said witch doing it.

Curse Casting is a very natural magick for Gemini Witches because curses require words. Gemini are the most talkative zodiac sign and use words more than any of them all. Curses are dangerous spells that have a negative effect on a target. But they also can be dangerous to the caster because of how they backfire. But since Gemini has a way with words, these curses usually won't backfire on them. Gems use words against people and for them.

## Gemini Magic

Gemini has one of the most active minds of the zodiac, constantly zipping through information and crunching data. This mental agility is Gemini’s superpower, and if harnessed and directed, these natives can create some potent magic! Petition magic is a wonderful type of spell work for Geminis, helping them to direct their mental energy and manifest a desired outcome.

This form of magic involves writing down what you are trying to achieve (a new job, healing for a friend, etc.) on a special piece of paper and reading it a few times until you’ve memorized the spell. Keep the language positive, and after you’ve internalized the petition, fold it and keep it on your altar. Once your magic has worked, burn the paper and spread the ashes at a crossroads to seal your spell.

The Gemini Moon is a good time to work on divination and prophecy, wishing spells, luck in gambling, communication, working for positive reception of manuscripts, articles and term papers, increasing web traffic, success in school, getting into the school of your choice.
