Gemini Sun Sign - Zodiac Signs - Article by Astrology.com Gemini Sun Sign - Zodiac Signs BY ASTROLOGY.COM NOVEMBER 20, 2009 04:51 PM EST Share Share Share Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac, and those born under this sign will be quick to tell you all about it. That's because they love to talk! It's not just idle chatter with these folks, either. The driving force behind a Gemini's conversation is their mind. The Gemini-born are intellectually inclined, forever probing people and places in search of information. The more information a Gemini collects, the better. Sharing that information later on with those they love is also a lot of fun, for Geminis are supremely interested in developing their relationships. Dalliances with these folks are always enjoyable, since Geminis are bright, quick-witted and the proverbial life of the party. Even though their intellectual minds can rationalize forever and a day, Geminis also have a surplus of imagination waiting to be tapped. Can a Gemini be boring? Never! Since Geminis are a mix of the yin and the yang, they are represented perfectly by the Twins.

The Gemini-born can easily see both sides of an issue, a wonderfully practical quality. Less practical is the fact that you're not sure which Twin will show up half the time. Geminis may not know who's showing up either, which can prompt others to consider them fickle and restless. They can be wishy-washy, too, changing their mood on a simple whim. It's this characteristic which readily suggests the Mutable Quality assigned to this sign. Mutable folks are flexible and go with the flow. Further, the Twins are adaptable and dexterous and can tackle many things at once. It's a good thing, too, when you consider their myriad interests. The downside of such a curious mind, however, can be a lack of follow-through. How much can any one person do, anyway? Ruled by Mercury, Geminis exhibit a delicious brand of mercurial energy. They are quick-thinking, quick-witted and fast on their feet, much like the messenger god of Roman mythology that rules their sign. Geminis are both curious and clever, which is why they are such a hit at cocktail parties. Although they talk a great game, they also love to listen and learn.

With any kind of luck, the Twins will find themselves in interesting company, because if they don't, they are likely to get bored and start fidgeting. Any social setting is a good one for a Gemini, however, since these folks are charming, congenial and love to share themselves with their friends. While their effusiveness may be misconstrued as scheming by some, Geminis generally have their hearts in the right place. It's that ample energy which can also paint them as scatterbrained and unfocused, but behind all that zipping around, the Twins are busily filing all that good data away. The element associated with Gemini is Air. Air signs are the thinking person's signs, and the Twins don't disappoint. Those born under this sign prize intellect and consider it the key to all things. At work, they are the clearest of thinkers, looking at a project from all (well, at least two) sides and putting forth some logical and well-thought-out ideas. This quality makes Geminis an asset to any team, and while these folks are not inclined to take the lead, they are a most valuable component.

It's also the Gemini's literary bent that allows them to offer a useful perspective on most any situation. The Twins also enjoy bringing their objective reasoning and big-picture ability into their personal relationships. While some may perceive all this logical thought as cold and unemotional, it's simply how these folks tick. They want to connect, they just do it their own way. Luckily for Geminis (and their pals), their lightness of spirit and youthful exuberance help them to appear forever young. In keeping with that skip in their step, Geminis enjoy short road trips -- and their agile minds and nimble hands ensure that they could change a tire (if needed) in no time flat. Is all of this Twin-energy more than any one person can handle? Ah, maybe that's why they are two. When it comes to sports, Geminis would seem a natural for doubles tennis -- and they are. They love the camaraderie of games and play, which is why they excel at team events. Whether it's volleyball or a game of charades, Geminis are always ready to play. A book club would certainly stimulate their literary minds. In the game of love, Geminis are playful, flirtatious and endless fun.

Physically speaking, Gemini rules the nervous system, which is why Twins should practice yoga or deep breathing techniques. Layering themselves in soft yellows and blues will also calm their mood. The great strength of the Gemini-born is in their ability to communicate effectively and to think clearly. Adventures of the mind are what the Twins are all about. They also love to share themselves with their friends, and they make for charming companions. Sponsored Link Gemini - Zodiac Signs | Astrology.com.au, Horoscopes Online! Gemini The Zodiac Sign Gemini | May 22 - Jun 21 Introduction The third house of the horoscope and the zodiac, Gemini, is all about intelligence and communication. You’re Being born under this sign means you and have a talent for and love of using your minds and expressing yourself fully. As a Gemini, you are a mental bower bird, mentally, and take an interest in all sorts of different things. Anything that gets your mind ticking over will grab you. You constantly try to challenge your mental abilities and will make extra efforts to understand anything you put your mind to. You can’t understand why other people don’t feel the same way. To you, this kind of stimulation is your life blood.

Anyone who engages you in quick-witted and thoughtful banter will win your heart for sure. Some great communicators awere born under your sign such as —actresses Helen Hunt and Marilyn Monroe, for instance. Like them, you take interest in anything that requires a little brain power. Reading and ferreting out information on the internet are a perfect way for you to unwind. Communication would have to be one of your favourite pastimes. Taking up acting classes wouldn’t be a bad idea, either, even if you don’t fancy yourself as an Emmy Award winner. Meeting new people and sharing your thoughts and feelings with them is enough of a blast for you. Not all Geminis have brains on the brain, though. Anna Kournikova, the tennis superstar, proves that: she puts her focus into physical exercise. She is a superb tennis player, a sport which that requires physical dexterity and mental agility as well. Gemini is also on the top of the list of achievers in sport. But the sport you get into will be one that requires a strategic and intellectual approach. If it doesn’t, it won’t sustain your interest. Tennis, chess, golf and card games like bridge and canasta appeal to you.

If you could be accused of anything, it would be that you spread yourself too thinly, by being interested in too many things. To some people, you seem superficial and flighty. It’s the ‘rolling stone gathering gathers no moss’ thingdilemma—, which means doing a bit of this and a bit of that and not getting too deeply into any one thing. You see it differently, of course. To you life is a smorgasbord, and you’re going to taste everything. ! Trying just one main course, so to speak, isn’t your thing. Variety, diversity and experimentation are some of your key words. And youYou can always say, ‘At Well, at least I’ll never be boring, ha!’ The fact that you take on so much also means you risk wearing yourself out and letting your vitality engine slow down. It is not easy for you to pace yourself, but if you can get your self-discipline working on this, you can achieve more than most. Make sure you have enough fuel in your gas tank to get you to where you want to go. People always love your company—your adaptability makes you interesting.

People are amazed at your versatility, at the way you manage to juggle so many different activities. ‘Is there anything you don’t try your hand at?’, they wonder. Learning will always be one of your passions, for —you don’t ever believe there’s ever a good time to limit to someone’s desire to improve their mind. You have a great love of the written as well as the spoken word, and will often put pen to paper—or hands to keyboard—to get your own thoughts down. Sometimes this is just so you can work out what you think about a particular issue or event. Lots ofMany journalists, writers, and advisers are Geminis; their way with words is their best tool for making a lasting impression. You also have a strong connection to travel and short journeys. You’ll often feel restless, and your itchy feet will set you wandering. These journeys may not be long, but there will be plenty of them, —for you’re always on the go. You are thirsty for new experiences, and, even on short journeys or in transit, you’ll throw yourself into meeting new and unusual people.

You’re fascinated by psychology and the way human relationships work, so you will seek a life partner who is as into communication as you are. You will need this sort of person if you are to achieve emotional fulfilment. You are the type of person friends and relatives turn to for advice on their love life. This has an upside for you, too—, as it helps you understand what’s going on in your own life, romantically speaking. Geminis seem to grow younger rather than older. Physically, you will maintain a youthful glow, and you will never lose your fun-loving liveliness. You’re really not into that ‘growing old gracefully’ thing. Vitality and constant stimulation are what you are about. A peaceful old age is definitely not your cup of tea (even if you happen to be over 60).

Gemini Profile I don't think I've ever met what you could call a boring Gemini.

Yes, if you're born under Gemini you have a tendency to talk a lot but for the most part I've found that people under your star sign are quite interesting, if not highly intelligent and always have something extremely interesting to say. Mercury is your ruling planet, which gives you your trademark communication par excellence, which others admire and respect in you. This planet also gives you incredibly quick wit, original ideas and an inventive personality. Creativity of a high order is also evident in people born under the sign of the twins. Communicating ideas, linking your mind with others and developing new and unusual systems of thought is what you are primarily interested in. One thing everyone notices about you is the fact that you're always busy, never stopping to take a breath and at the same time quite inexhaustible in your source of energy. "Where do you get that stamina," people ask? Well, that stamina may sometimes be short-lived. You are in fact a person that gives 110% to anything you do, but you do have the tendency to run yourself ragged and need to carefully manage your physical and mental energies a little more carefully to optimise your sense of wellbeing. You mustn't burn the candle at both ends.

You are the type of person who's curious about life and therefore loves to learn about anything and everything. You have a broad base of knowledge and yes, you can sometimes be accused of being a little superficial, because you like to taste a bit of this and a bit of that, very much like a connoisseur of food at a smorgasbord. But yet again, you have such a diverse range of interests that you're happy to forego the "main course" for the excitement of experience. Gemini is constantly on the prowl for stimulation and education. Restlessness is one of your less positive traits but here again we see that it gives you the drive to seek new adventures in life and to keep learning more and more. For you, the idea of growing old is abhorrent. In fact your ruling planet, Mercury, is youthful even in old age, and imbues you with this quality. Many of the same Geminis that I referred to above that I've been in contact with seem to appear much younger than their age, both physically and in the way they communicate their experiences. Growing old gracefully is not in your repertoire.

Gemini is a dual sign, which means you're the butt of many "schizophrenic" jokes. This does have some truth to it, especially when we delve a little more deeply into the Gemini character to see that you blow hot and cold from time to time. On the one hand you want something; on the other hand you don't; sometimes wanting more, sometimes wanting less; a see-saw of life experiences does present you with a challenge as to who you are and what your true identity is. Try not to allow others to misinterpret this as some sort of deceptive personality flaw. Getting down to routine is not something you enjoy all that much. Rather, you'd prefer an intense array of variety to keep you on the edge, even if it does affect your nervous system sometimes. Words, poetry and even music and other forms of verbal communication are your forte. Taking an interest in writing, teaching, even if this is not something you would do as a profession, is right up your alley. Because of your insatiable desire to learn and communicate, you have an extraordinarily wide circle of friends and interests. In fact, you may have several groups of different types of friends to satisfy your never-ending search for understanding.

Try not to spread yourself too thin, however, as you'll make commitments in good faith only to find that you run out of time and aren't capable of giving equal time to those you love. You are a traveller by nature and that restlessness of spirit which is part and parcel of your character will find you journeying to many different parts of the world to explore culture, history and anthropology. Even if you don't travel overseas, you find yourself constantly moving, travelling or even just walking to burn off some of that nervous energy. Gemini Cusps Gemini - Taurus cusp Gemini's adaptability is nicely offset by the rock solid Taurus if you are born during the first week or so of Gemini (that is between the 22nd and 29th May) Your ruling planets of Mercury for Gemini and Venus for Taurus will have an impact on your character and personality. Gemini has an insatiable curiosity, high energy levels and creativity but this is tempered somewhat by the security required by Taurus. This enhances your imagination and gives you a drive to succeed that is not too thinly dissipated by your day-to-day activities.

By being born under the combination of Gemini and Taurus your chances of succeeding on a material level are greater than if you are not a cusp baby. Being a cusp baby makes you a very sensitive and patient individual, and it doesn't bother you greatly if success doesn't immediately come to you. You are patient and hard-working enough to wait for that achievement to come to fruition. You have a great understanding and appreciation of what your endeavours can bring and whilst you aware of and often seize opportunities that come your way, you will only do this if the practical Taurean can see some value in them. You are kind-hearted and don't hesitate to hold out a helping hand to anyone who needs it. You are gentle and have a practical approach to assisting others and with your kind words and direct way of dealing with things, you get right to the heart of the problem. You have a great work ethic and carry out the most menial of tasks with the same care and precision you would adopt for anything else you do. You are a perfectionist at heart, mainly due to the Taurean influence. You are modest about your achievements but the world will be a better place if you can rise above your hesitancy and share your talents with others.

Gemini - Cancer cusp Here we have the head and logic of Gemini and the heart and soul of Cancer. This combination gives you a more emotional and sensitive side. Your feelings are also stronger with the Cancer influence. If you were born between the 14th and 21st of June, you will tend to display many of the traits of the crab, the sign of Cancer. This combination of two signs may give you difficulty in choosing between "your head and your heart" as the saying goes. As a Gemini you will naturally pride yourself on the fact that you can be rational about many of the decision you must make in your life. But add the emotional Cancer into the mix and you have a different way of looking at things. Cancer traits may show up in a more moody Gemini who is not as easily able to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. This is especially so when it comes to matters of a romantic nature and may make your usual sharply focused decision-making a little cloudier. This could be an irritation for you, but this is a by-product of being a cusp baby. You have strong mental traits Gemini but sometimes, emotional issues will fog up your brain.

Yoga or meditation where you can chill out, learn to regulate your breathing and let your mind and emotions settle will help immensely. This will also help to balance you out so that you are not swinging like a pendulum from one extreme to the other. The important thing you need to learn Gemini is how to keep your brain and emotions on an even keel. Find hobbies that will stimulate your mind but ones that will enable you to be completely at ease and able to rest. With Cancer's connection to the Moon, which tends to heighten your sensitivity, don't get too upset when someone makes a thoughtless comment. You generally don't take kindly to criticism, even if it is constructive, and tend to see it rather as an attack on your nature or intention to do well by the world. The emotional side of Cancer will give you an openness and warmth that other may want to take advantage of. You are generally rather perceptive when it comes to choosing friends and your intuition is spot on and will rarely let you down. Gemini At Large May 22 - June 1 Being born between the 22nd of May and the 1st of June makes you a Gemini with a cusp influence of the previous sign, Taurus.

Although you're primarily an intellectual type with intense Mercurial influences, Venus, the ruler of Taurus, also imprints upon you considerable sensuality, grace and charm. You not only love the written word, intellectual pursuits and other forms of communication, but may gravitate towards artistic, musical and creative pursuits to express your inner need for cultural perfection. June 2 - June 12 If you're a Gemini born between the 2nd and the 12th of June, you also have a tendency to be sensual but have the influence of Libra as well which makes you at times indecisive about your life path. You need clarity in your choice of partners and must never impulsively rush into any sort of relationship. June 13 - June 21 If you're born between the 13th and the 21st of June, the influence of Aquarius and the unpredictable planet Uranus has a sway over your life and your temperament. You are spontaneous in many areas of your life and like to explore the unknown. Your life will swing from the positive to the negative so you must be prepared for some turbulent times in your life.

At least you'll never be bored with the challenges that are presented to you, and as you grow older and develop more wisdom, you're likely to be regarded as someone with extraordinary knowledge and a capacity to help those around you. Your path is one of compassion and humanitarianism. Gemini Man Scattered Humorous The Gemini male is generally tall, and if he is born in the earlier part of this star sign, he can be muscular and athletic in build. His face is usually long and proportionate, with a high forehead and thin lips. You are always on the go, Gemini, and tend to be busier than most of your colleagues and friends. You move fast, talk fast and can sell almost anything to anyone. Doing one thing at a time doesn't necessarily appeal to you, and it is not unusual to see a Gemini male with several projects at various stages of completion. When it comes to relationships, you can usually talk yourself out of any difficult situation. In fact, your need to talk can be quite overwhelming for a prospective romantic partner. What you need to do, Gemini, is develop your non-verbal skills so that you are not always communicating with words. Remember, less is more.

You are a loyal friend and respond with dynamic energy and speed to their needs. They can rest assured that you will always be there when they call, and this is indeed a wonderful character trait, Gemini. You are not afraid to offer advice, even when it isn't asked for, but you mean well. The Gemini male is never satisfied with fame, reputation or money because he thinks he deserves more. If this is how you feel, you will keep searching, even if you know you will never be satisfied. You like to stand out from the crowd and take great pride in expressing your individuality, whether it is in the way you dress or speak. Ignoring you is about as useless as moving a sand hill with a teaspoon. You don't have any trouble attracting the opposite sex, but since you are always on the lookout for change, it may make a prospective partner nervous. You love to be in love as it gives you a sense of security and the comfort of knowing that someone will be there for you. You can be mysterious and don't reveal all of yourself at once. Your partners may even feel that they are dating two guys at once because you don't want them to get to know you too quickly.

For you, it is more about the thrill of the chase than the catching of the quarry. This is why many Gemini males prefer to play the field and may not marry until they have experienced a variety of romances, just to make sure that they have chosen 'the one'. You are a cheerful partner, with a quick wit and great intelligence. You are also a natural communicator with the ability to captivate a prospective partner's attention. Gemini is a mutable sign, which means that you adaptable and easily shaped by your environment. This trait will enable you to overcome adversity and adjust to the highs and lows that life throws at you. Some- times, however, you need to pause for few moments, if that is at all possible, and think about where you are going and why. Focus is difficult as your mind can be quite restless and scattered, but this is something you need to master. You can be the life of the party, Gemini, as you always having a story to tell. You also have an interest in politics, philosophical ideals and other cultural and societal issues, which is why your conversation is never boring. However, you don't necessarily align yourself with the popular view and will go out on a limb with your own opinion.

There is a danger, however, that you may come across as arrogant because you are well read on a subject. You are always asking questions, Gemini, because you need to under- stand what is going on and why. It is from this well of information that you draw your well-founded opinions, and you can certainly be proud of your intellectual achievements. Gemini Woman Responsive Flirtatious The typical Gemini woman is tall, slender and very attractive. If you are born in the second half of Gemini, the slenderness may be more predominant. Those born in the first half may be slightly more curvaceous and fleshy. Gemini, try not to become too obsessive about your looks or how others look. You also have a tendency to take great pains to hide the parts of yourself that you don't want others to see. Your mind is deep and thoughtfully provocative. When choosing a partner, you will need someone who understands your intellectual needs as you can be quite dismissive of anyone who is mentally lazy. They will also need to be caring, tender, romantic, reliable and well-mannered. You are ambitious and have the fast thought processes to make things happen.

However, you need to be careful not to overreact to statements that others make. You can be hypersensitive and jump to conclusions, but sometimes you can be wrong. This is not something you like to admit, but it can happen. The term 'Superwoman' springs to mind when talking about a Gemini female. You don't do 101 tasks of a day—it's more like 1001! You make friends easily as you are always happy to help out, and with your brilliant time management you are able to maintain the balance in your life. Gemini, you probably invented multitasking and were doing it long before the concept was recognised. Your hand always shoots up at a committee meeting and you can be relied on to start the jobs you volunteer for, even if you don't always finish them. You are quite capable of juggling home, family and work, but you should be aware of when your fuel tank is running low, preferably before it hits empty. As your star sign regulates the nervous system, you must be careful not to skip meals. This can have a direct effect on your body and undermine your health over time. Slowing down is certainly not on your agenda, is it Gemini?

Your coffee sessions with friends are just another avenue for you to expand your mind, and you love to be with people who are interested in education, current affairs and self-improvement. It is unlikely that your social circle will include people who aren't interested in any of the topics mentioned above. If an unsuspecting male is privy to your social circle, they will be amazed at your razor sharp wit and lightning-fast comebacks. You are quick on the uptake, well read, and happy to chat for hours about any subject under the sun. Gemini Child The child of Gemini is certainly cute enough, but ever so fidgety! These children are most definitely one of the most restless of the zodiac signs and will test your patience no end. Being strong, physically fit, mentally quick and fast generally will be distinct assets in rearing this bundle of energy. What you'll notice immediately with the Gemini child is that they have an incredibly warm sense of humor but taken to extremes, they could end up being the joker, playing pranks and maybe even lashing out with jokes at the expense of others.

There is a cheeky side to their nature and if you're a parent of a Gemini child already, you're fully aware of that without me having to reiterate it here. The secret of raising a well-integrated Gemini child is communication. You need to engage them intellectually and talk to them about their feelings and their thoughts. Just as important is to keep your child not only busily occupied with tasks, projects and other hobbies and sporting activities, but in particular to teach them the value of completing what they begin. Gemini children have a tendency to scatter their energies in many different directions, which makes it difficult for them to set a goal and achieve it. By disciplining them early and showing them the value of self-discipline, you'll be able to overcome these slight character flaws. Diet is also very important to keep in mind when raising your Gemini child. These kids are prone to skipping meals and living on their nerves. Over time, this can produce behavioural problems if it isn't checked. Pay special attention to their food combinations and also the environment and times of the day at which they eat. All of these factors will have an immense impact on their moods and concentration levels. As they grow older you'll need to monitor them.

This is a critical time in their development when they may overstep the bounds of their mental and physical endurance and may not handle it all that well. Be a friend as well as a good counselor to them and this will help them grow into well adjusted adults. To have a personalized Child Astro Report... please click HERE! Gemini Lover If you are dating a Gemini, you will need to provide some stimulating conversation. If you can't do this, save yourself the time and leave now. If you are the sort of person who wants a full-on relationship after saying 'hello', then Gemini is not for you either. Geminis can appear casual in relationships, but this is because they want to develop a friendship before moving on to a more serious partnership. A Gemini lover needs to connect with someone on an intellectual level before going any further. They want a friendship to develop, and they're not afraid to ask the hard questions in an effort to establish what makes you tick. In love, Gemini may exhibit a possessive streak, but this is unusual. Boredom is a romance killer, so if you want a relationship with this star sign, you better have some witty one-liners or read up on a subject that Gemini is interested in.

At their best, Geminis can be joyful, good-natured, broadminded, experi- mental, radiant, friendly, enthusiastic, flexible and gentle. At their worst they are unreliable, fickle, insincere, self-focused, restless, critical and temperamental. Geminis have a great sense of humour, which sometimes gives the impression that their conversational style is a little superficial, but this is not so. You may even think they are not interested in you, but don't judge them too quickly. This is just their way of getting to know you. If you are a Gemini, you can be a romantic challenge to any potential mate and a mystery as well. Your face is never blank and your expres- sion is either lit from within or eroded by depression and moodiness. In addition to this, your emotions are always active. Gemini natives are children of the air and they need to feel free to wander, both mentally and physically. More often than not, Gemini, you may find yourself lost and looking for the one who will fill that void in your heart. Geminis generally marry for passionate love as well as exciting and meaningful communication.

You will sweep aside the advice of older and wiser people and go where your heart takes you. Those governed by Gemini are among the lucky few who know the deep expression of being truly 'in love'. A Gemini lover can be caring and thoughtful, but they will run to the hills if they feel the partnership has reached a humdrum existence. However, if they find a partnership to be whole and complete, then he or she will be the most dynamic and loyal of mates. Gemini Friend Gemini, as a friend you are completely without any airs or graces. What you see is what you get. You also make people feel comfortable in any social situation. You have the ability to listen and are a wonderful communicator. Your spontaneity is endearing, to say the least, and while it makes you unpredictable, it is this aspect of your personality that keeps others guessing. You are outgoing, a stimulating conversationalist, and open-minded in your opinions. You love to come up with a new idea, toss it around amongst your nearest and dearest, and then watch it come to fruition. Boredom is never on your agenda, is it Gemini?

You need to guard against the tendency to gossip as people will naturally tell you things and it is up to you to zip your lips when you know you should. If the story doesn't seem spicy enough for you, resist the temp- tation to spice it up to make it more 'interesting'. Geminis have busy social schedules and can be overwhelmed by the amount of friends they have to keep in the loop. It is at these times that you need to look at the people in your circle and weed out those who are not actually friends but acquaintances. If you happen to be possessive, it is not a good idea to cage your Gemini friend. They will just spread their wings like a butterfly and fly far away from you. There is no way you can tie down a Gemini, so don't waste your time. As a Gemini friend, you will be loyal and have friends for a long time, but you are not afraid to try out new friendships. You also like to travel and will meet people from many walks of life. As a friend, Gemini, you can be somewhat unpredictable, but underneath you are a good solid person who will go to the ends of the earth for someone who is important to you.

If a friend does the wrong thing by you, however, you will let them know in no uncertain terms. Gemini Enemy It is better to have Gemini as a friend than as an enemy. Geminis are wordsmiths and they will use their skills in this area as weapons of mass destructionif the occasion arises. If you want to be on the receiving end of this vitriol, then cross a Gemini and you will experience their venomous tongue at full force. For the most part, Gemini, you are polite and even-tempered, but if someone upsets you, they will find out about it very quickly. You are open about your feelings and opinions, but sometimes people will take you on because they think they know better than you on a particular subject. This is not a good idea. You will let them talk, although probably not for long, and then shoot them down with your knowledge and eloquence. You also don't like people talking behind your back. Backstabbing is not a game you enjoy, and it is one that you do not indulge in. Although you may enjoy a bit of gossip, you don't like having the tables turned on you!

Gemini Celebrities What a better way to study face reading than to apply the principles of characterology to those faces of our favorably celebrities and public figures. These famous faces are a brief interpretation of what their features and faces reveal about them. We will be constantly updating our celebrity face readings, so check back to gather new insights into the rich and famous! My Light and Shadow The Light and Shadow The light and the dark are part of human nature and each star sign exhibits this polarity. It is the yin and yang of life and once we confront these shadowy areas within ourselves the sooner we are able to break free of all self limiting behaviours and habits. Gemini: The light side When conversing with a Gemini, I sometimes find it hard to tell whether their cynical statements are jokes or not. After a while I realise I've been baited by their lightning-quick humour. This is one of your most amazing strengths: an impish yet attractive sort of humour, which everybody finds irresistible. Your thinking is original and brilliant but often a little too rapid for others who are slow to grasp the depth of your insights. Sure, your mind is fast and is often considered superficial, but that's only one side of the wonderful Gemini personality.

You love people and therefore work well in groups and can lead the way with your ideas and enthusiastic proposals. You are the one to lift others out of the doldrums when the going gets tough and you know how to excite others both in a professional environment and socially as well. Because you're the 'twin', you are always able to see both sides of an argument and this means your objective viewpoints are often useful when trying to bring warring factions together. You're one of the most adaptable and flexible signs of the zodiac and will always find yourself at home wherever you are. Gemini: The shadow side Are you Arthur or Martha? This must be one of the most difficult questions a typical Gemini asks themselves. You certainly have two sides to your character and this often works against your better interests. Your mind is a rainbow of colours and with many different sides to your character. Because of this others will find it very hard to pin you down. The term 'mercurial' sums up your everyday life (from your ruler, Mercury, the fast and restless youngster of the zodiac). At times you'll run yourself around in circles, unable to complete the tasks you set yourself.

Your love of variety and change unfortunately leads you to becoming a 'Jack of All Trades and Master of None'. A daily dose of self-discipline is essential if you're to achieve success. You love stimulation but you overload your brain. A regular time-out session will help you regroup your energies and get back on track. Try not to be so impulsive in your eagerness to get things done. By getting caught up in the moment you'll overlook the priorities in life and later regret you didn't pay more attention to the long term.

Read more The Gemini Character - The Third Sign of the Zodiac The Gemini Character - The Third Sign of the Zodiac By Rebecca Brents | Submitted On June 02, 2007 2 Gemini is one of the Zodiac's most intellectual signs. Reading, writing, learning, talking, sharing viewpoints and opinions, gathering facts and data, communicating in all the ways you can imagine is what Gemini is all about. Geminis love words ... and jokes, and puns.

They love odd pieces of wisdom like trivia, and word games, and "Twenty Questions," and "Jeopardy." Some are an intellectual collection of clutter, hoarding interesting but useless anecdotes, silly paradoxes and contradictions, obscure "facts" about peculiar subjects, and "things you always wanted to know but really didn't care enough to look up." (Geminis take the time to find out so they can either share or "show off" to the rest of us.) Others are walking encyclopedias to whom friends and family turn when they need "just the facts." Most Geminis can spin a fascinating story around a few pertinent details, sell ice cubes to Eskimos, and talk the hind leg off a billy goat -- sometimes simultaneously. They love knowledge -- accumulating it, possessing it, offering it, and adding to it. They usually know "something" about almost any subject under the sun, and are always willing to learn something new. Geminis can hold opposing views on the same topic, and see nothing inconsistent there. It fuels their reputation for being two-faced according to some folks ... and "quick to change their minds" according to others who find this trait interesting rather than sneaky.

They try the patience of calmer, more focused souls ... but Geminis can sweet-talk (or fast-talk!!) their way out of most binds. Their silver-tongued talents are that fine. As the sign of the twins, they love having things in pairs. One of anything is just never enough. They need back-ups, spares, and extras -- on everything from cars (because they have to be mobile) to options and opinions. ("On the one hand ... . . but on the other hand ...," is a classic Gemini debate.) It gives them a reputation for being scattered, unreliable, and even shifty, when they're just presenting all the options ... or maybe just arguing with themselves. Gemini is a radiant, restless, pyrotechnic display of intellectual fireworks ... as if that alone could light up the world. That's the way mental energy burns ... incandescently. But some of this spills over into physical habits, that make Gemini one of the most easily identified signs -- revealed often by an intense, fidgety manner that can best be called "antsy-ness." Gemini seems to be always in motion ...

tapping his foot, or drumming his pen, or doodling during some boring, boring, boring meeting, or dashing out the door on a quick errand, or picking at his fingernails, or playing with the car radio buttons. Well, you get the idea. Gemini is high-strung and finely tuned, but he also has wit, charm and dazzle, which gives him a wide circle of acquaintances and even admirers. Most of these folks have a terrific sense of humor, a gift for turning a fine phrase, and creativity that's second to none. They can be not just cerebral, but darn interesting -- passing their special stuff along to new generations of eager minds, to keep the cycle of investigation and discovery moving on into the future. Gemini is the perpetual student, intellectual butterfly, and raconteur. He gathers facts in bits and pieces ... and he loves variety. Gemini's knowledge is wide-ranging and eclectic, a hodgepodge of details and tidbits on completely unrelated subjects, but he may not have much depth in any of them.

It's like the collection of odds and ends you keep in a drawer, or a box, or in an entire room -- for some, or out in the shed or the garage. It's the jumble of unrelated little treasures from which Gemini someday may need to scrounge just the right item to fill the bill on a job at hand. Gemini's data is a collage, and the more diverse, the better, as far as he's concerned. Gemini is first and foremost a collector, but he knows scads of places to find the specific knowledge it needs. As you can imagine, however, it's awesomely easy to overload the circuits with energy this elegant and this ... electric. Under too much stress, Gemini becomes nervous, inattentive, strung out, and spread too thin to be effective. He turns hypercritical, closed-minded, opinionated, argumentative, intolerant, intellectually proud, and becomes the know-it-all everybody loves to hate. At his worst, he is gossipy, infuriatingly "chatty" while having nothing to say, superficial, shallow, cynical, and downright dishonest. As with the other signs, the downside of this one can be pretty ugly -- without meaning to be.

Then again, he may be out the door and down the road again before you can notice his quick-change from Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde. As I said earlier, he needs to be mobile. He hates to be pinned down or fenced in. In fact, confinement can make him physically ill. A person might as well try to catch the wind as hold onto one of these elfin spirits when it has a yen to be ... somewhere else. Whether he's hot on the trail of another good idea, or just chasing his own tail, Gemini is always on the move ... with grace, dexterity, and cleverness. And wherever he goes, he learns something new. Combining a little of this, a little of that, and a pinch of something else, the Gemini soul, like an intellectual alchemist, can create new forms, new expressions, new theories, and even new ideas that are breath-takingly inventive. In the end it's hard to match this energy for sheer brilliance ... and, as the lyrics go in "Some Enchanted Evening" ... wise men never try. (c) 2007 by Rebecca Brents. All rights reserved.

Table of Contents The Third House - Article by Astrology.com The Third House BY ASTROLOGY.COM NOVEMBER 24, 2009 05:26 PM EST Share Share House of Communication The Third House is commonly referred to as the House of Communication. In this house, much of the communication is going on between the individual and those he or she holds close: brothers and sisters, as well as neighbors. While communication here can be both written and verbal, it also has a conscious quality to it. Think about kindred spirits and mental connections. This serves to highlight the role of intelligence within the Third House. Intelligence, as viewed in this realm, is the analytical ability one possesses within his or her environment, specifically a basic grasp of things and a practical sensibility. We use this intelligence to help us work effectively within our world and with those in it. The Third House reminds us that it's okay to use our conscious skills, as well as a more reflective intelligence, in order to make our way. A symbiotic relationship with those we hold close is also part of the plan. Let's not forget that our minds are powerful, quick and dexterous. Some things will be well-thought out, others nearly automatic.

Maximizing our sum potential is the key. Early education, effectively teaching us how to think and communicate, is also covered by the Third House, as are short trips. Again, the proximate nature of travel speaks to the intimate nature of the Third House: those we know well, in our environment, keeping that environment tight. Harnessing our intelligence and sharing it effectively with others is the essence of the Third House. How do we best state our case with others, often those we love the most? Will our actions be true to our environment, and our planet, for all time? This brings to the fore emerging forms of intelligence-gathering, such as computers. Will they make or break communication as we know it? The questions posed by the Third House can be answered by listening to that house: think, process, share. The Third House is ruled by Gemini and the planet Mercury.
