Astrology of Gemini - Light and Airy

The astrology of Gemini claims the end of May and most of the month of June. An air sign, ruled by Mercury, Gemini loves to travel. Sociability is a strong suit for a native Gemini. With a nimble mind, and being very articulate, Gemini's are often found pursuing careers in writing, journalism, and education.

Gemini, being represented by the sign of the twins, tells of the dualistic nature of this native. One thing for sure, there's usually no such thing as a dull moment with any person of this sign.

Arms, lungs, and hands are the vulnerable parts of a Gemini. More than others, Gemini should take very good care of their lungs, and get involved in various breathing exercises. Hands need protection from injuries and overuse.

Nerve conditions often affect the native Sun in Gemini personality. This type of nervous superficial energy leads to too much activity. A Gemini can work long and hard, but often operates on the secondary energy generated by nerves instead of vital energy coming from within. This is when overwork contributes to exhaustion. Walking and light outdoor exercise should be a routine part of life for the sake of relaxation if nothing else.

Tourmaline, opal, and aquamarine are listed as corresponding gemstones of Gemini. The color is often listed as yellow, but in general, Gemini is one of the signs that are compatible with a wider array of colors.

More words to describe Gemini are duality, imitation, versatility, mobility, and poise. Other desirable characteristics are ambition, resourcefulness, dexterity, courage, tolerance, generosity, sympathy, liberalism, and temperance.

Gemini often has problems with verbosity, impulsiveness, and lack of concentration. A quick wit gives way to the temptation to be tricky when dealing with others.

Since ruled by an air sign, a Gemini is bothered by a cluttered airspace. Mobiles, wind chimes, and decorative items hanging from the ceiling are innervating to the light and airy consciousness of this sign.

Famous Gemini personalities in history are Oscar Wilde, Andy Warhol, Walt Disney, Marlene Dietrich, Aligheri Dante, Albrecht Durer, and Strativinsky. Those with strong Gemini influences in the birth chart are: George Bernard Shaw, Voltaire, Greta Garbo, Audrey Hepburn, Bob Hope, Phyllis Diller, Louis Pastuer, Karl Marx, Ralph Waldo Emerson, W.B. Yeats, F.D. Roosevelt, Jane Austin, Jackie Kennedy, Dickens, Shakespeare, Haydn, Bette Davis, Fred Astaire, Newton, Hemingway, Cary Grant, Alfred Hitchcock, Proust, Calvin Coolidge, DeGaulle, and Errol Flynn.

Geminis are almost always the life of the party, because sociability is their element. They thrive on that social element, and are usually happy when surrounded by people.
