All About Gemini

9 ASTROLOGY INSIGHTS INTO GEMINI

The Gemini nature is as mercurial as the planet with which it is associated. Hungry for experience and interested in everything, Gemini is quick and adaptable, and reluctant to be tied down. Their adaptability makes them excellent actors and they are excellent mimics. With a facility for languages, Gemini can the ultimate communicator. The symbol for Gemini is the twins, and there is usually a light side and a dark side to Gemini, and they can often switch between the two with a startling suddenness. This changeability is their strength as well as their downfall. Here is the information you need to get to know the Gemini in your life!


Element and Quality of Gemini 
Gemini is an Air sign, and is ruled by Mercury, the planet that governs all aspects of communications. Since Air is the element of communication and the mental realms, Gemini is the sign most concerned with the processing of information. Gemini is a mutable sign – the quality of adaptation and flexibility and while Gemini can adapt to just about every situation, they need nearly constant stimulation and do not respond well to restrictions and pressure to make commitments.

Gemini in Love 
Gemini is curious about everything, and wants to try on lots of different personalities and lifestyles. Without a lot of earth and water in their chart, Gemini will be late to commit and even then may resist the idea of fidelity. Their flexibility extends to their moral compass, and they prefer to make judgments on a case-by-case basis than live by any firm moral code. Gemini loves to talk and they are usually good kissers! They are not sentimental by nature and are not likely to fulfill romantic fantasies. Their changing moods may pose a problem, and despite their intellectual abilities they will usually have no idea what is going on within them. They will not enjoy long discussions over the purpose of the relationship, but they will be great companions and endlessly entertaining.



Gemini at Work 
There is a bit of attention deficit in every Gemini. Because of the constant need for stimulation and change, they need a variety of tasks to perform throughout their day. By nature they are not well-suited to leadership positions; for them the idea of a hierarchy of power is ludicrous. But because their minds are always racing, they can be tremendously creative especially in fields where communication is important. The Gemini employee needs a liberal vacation policy, since at a moment's whim they will need a change of place. The rare Gemini boss will welcome the opinion of everyone around them but may be hard to pin down when it comes time for that raise.

The Gemini Friend 
Your Gemini friend will be a fascinating conversationalist and adept with a joke. They may sometimes be a bit unreliable if something exciting comes up that they just have to try, but they'll always be glad for you to tag along to try something new. Your Gemini friend will want to try the latest restaurant, the new theater, or a party where there is brilliant conversation. While he will enjoy staying in with you to discuss the latest gossip or political situation (to Gemini there isn't really a difference between them!) he is easily bored and may suddenly decide he is ready to move on to the next event.
