Gemnius

**SIGN OF THE CANNY**

GEM\* [GOLD CASTE] // \*NIUS [PROSPIT + HOPE]

The alternative sway of Gemnius is Gemrius, and the opposite sign is Sagiborn.

The official website defines Gemnius in three segments: sign class, lunar sway, and aspect.

Gold Signs are the reigning geniuses of the sign class spectrum, and chances are they know it. Witty and widely read, they enjoy conversation and debate, even when that conversation gets a little one-sided. They can come off as preachy, and they have a tendency to railroad, just driving into their interlocutors with the force of their intellect. Their arguments make perfect sense to themselves, but not always to those around them. Gold Signs are interested in a wide variety of topics, so they tend to be Jacks-of-all-trade, and can have trouble dedicating themselves to just a single hobby or career. They have a tendency to be high-energy, and can stress people out, including themselves. Their anxiety is such that they often need quite a bit of time alone with their projects. They can talk circles around most people, and they aren't afraid to use their intelligence to manipulate others to get what they want. They are good at making money, and also good at spending it. They aren't great financial planners, tending toward impulse purchases. In romance they lean toward partners who can keep up with them, both with their intellect and their energy, which can both be hard to match.

Marked by a flexible optimism, the personalities of Prospit Dreamers are reactive and intuitive. They naturally exist in the present, rather than look to the future or obsess over the past. When making decisions Prospit Dreamers tend to rely on gut instinct and whatever emotions they are experiencing at the moment. This makes them quick to act and reliable in a crisis, but it also can make them capricious. They have trouble thinking things through, and their feelings toward specific situations and decisions can change from day to day. They solve problems with creativity rather than cold logic, often seeing multiple options with ease and clarity. Because they generally take things as they come, Prospit Dreamers are less rebellious than they are adaptable-instead of struggling against authority, they will find a way to coexist with it. Possibly because they are so instinctual and flexible, they like having a defined set of rules-a safety net for their passionate lives. Naturally trusting, they have trouble with deception or hiding their true selves, and will often worry about what others think of them. The self they project into the world is often not under their control.

Those bound to the aspect of Hope are driven first and foremost by their convictions. They do right for right's sake, and are quick to come to the aid of anyone they deem to be experiencing injustice. That said, their views of the world can be quite black and white, so what they see as the "right" thing may not always be the universally accepted view. They put great value in the power of the imagination, the ability to dream up a better and more beautiful future. If anyone could dream a better world into existence, it would be one of the Hope-bound. They may sound like all sunshine and rainbows, but they aren't adverse to a little destruction, especially if they think they can replace it with something better and more just. At their best, Hope-bound are positive, caring, and warm. At their worst they can be narrow-minded and selfish.

Gemini (from the Greek Δίδυμοι) is the third (3rd) of twelve (12) western zodiac signs. It takes inspiration from the zodiac Gemini "The Twins", and people born within the months of May 21st to June 20th are known to be a Gemini. The zodiac Gemini is one (1) of six (6) positive signs, one (1) of four (4) mutable signs, and one (1) of three (3) air signs alongside Libra and Aquarius. The sign ruler of Gemini is Mercury, the detriment is Jupiter, the exhaltation is the North Node, and the fall is the South Node.

The six (6) positive signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius) are known as the signs with a Positive Polarity. This is in reference to the energy that the sign holds. These six (6) signs are traditionally known as the active, Yang, expressive, or "masculine" signs. The positive signs also include the fire and air triplicities.

The three (3) modalities or modes in reference to a sign is talking about the position it can be found in during each season. The four (4) elements manifests in three (3) modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. They are also known as the Quadruplicities, because they are grouped with four (4) signs in each group, one sign of each element. Each of the three (3) modes also have specific traits that the signs grouped to them hold or example. Mutable signs are known for their adaptability, flexibility, and resourcefulness. The Mutable signs are Sagittarius (fire), Pisces (water), Gemini (air), and Virgo (earth).

The four (4) elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) are attributed to the twelve (12) western zodiac signs, and each group corresponds to a specific group of traits often found in those signs, along with a personality type that was proposed by the Greek physician, Hippocrates. These groups are known as the Four Element Triplicities. One of these groups is Air which has been known to house the traits of Great Communicators, Social, Conceptual. According to Hippocrates, the Air element correlates to the Sanguine personality type. Sanguine people are described to be Stable Extroverts, which means that they tend to be outgoing, talkative, lively, and carefree.

Gemini people are charismatic and get along with most people because of their ability to shape and change who they are to match whatever situation they're in. Gemini tends to be friendly, quick-witted, and curious, but they're always down for a good time. They might seem flighty or unreliable sometimes, but they make up for it in the charm and fun that they bring with them wherever they go. They have a knack for puzzles and being creative, they love to socialise, and they are able to adapt quickly and make the best of any situation they're in. Gemini also tends to be very warm, having an open-mind and accepting whoever you are, because Gemini will always have your back in spirit.

Although they have a reputation for being bad at love, Gemini can be one of the best partners or friends you'll ever have. They are sensitive and devoted, so like-minded signs such as the Libra or Aquarius would make for a great fit for the Gemini. Gemini gets along with most people, but for a fiery, chaotic, and and dynamic pairing, you'll want to look for a relationship with a Scorpio or Sagittarius because there's something about opposites attract that draws the Gemini in. More unstable relationships might come from a pairing with a Cancer, Pisces, or Leo, but of course any relationship will work out if the right energy and work is put into it to make it work.
