In what ways are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius different?

It just so happens, I know a lot about those darling, sexy charmers known as air signs.
Libra, Aquarius and Gemini are all air signs, but there are some differences.

Hard to spot these differences with the untrained eye...

Air signs are ruled by the mind. They are thinkers and analyzers, but their thought process is much more abstract than say, a Virgo or a Capricorn, who tend to be more methodical.


All air signs are dreamers. Ideas people and they all have big senses of humor and they are all quirky. If you see a  Libra, Aquarius and Gemini sitting together, expect to hear giggling. A lot of grab-assing as it were.

NOW let's get to the differences

Libra is a cardinal sign ruled by Venus.

  • Being a cardinal sign makes them natural born leaders. 
  • This makes them great starters of projects. 
  • Like all cardinal signs. ( Aries, Capricorn, Cancer. )
  • They can be slightly bossy like ALL cardinal signs. 
  • BUT this is because they are leaders. They take charge.
  • They really just want to help by leading.
  • They're good at it.
LIBRAS are especially attracted to beautiful things.

Be it fashion, nature, art, music etc....This is because venus, their ruling planet is a feminine planet. It's the planet of love and beauty.

Male and female libras make wonderful artists, fashion designers, florists, interior decorators etc.....they have good taste.

Libra's are fair, and always see the other side of an argument or situation. Sometimes this can make them indecisive BECAUSE they see all sides.

They also make fantastic therapists. They give great advice that is very balanced. AND they are good listeners and again, can see all sides.

Also, because they are so fair, they HATE when anyone or anything is being mistreated. This is actually a trait of all air signs, BUT fairness is especially associated with libra because of their symbol, the scales.

They make great judges and lawyers too because they are all about justice, and they can argue any side.

They are in love with love. Very romantic, I would say out of the three air signs, libras struggle the most with solitude. LIbras are really a partnership sign.

They are also very sweet and charming, because they are so loving and understanding, sometimes this can lead them to be taken advantage of in relationships.

Libra is going to be the air sign that remembers anniversaries, buys you flowers on valentine's and saves your love letters. Male libras will also gladly go to a romantic comedy with you, and pretend they are not into chick movies.

They do not like conflict, still, they are rebels.
But they are much better at handling conflict in a charming way than say......an aquarius.

They are independent, but still prefer to be in a relationship overall.
They are not as gossipy as a gemini, or stubborn as an aquarius.

In general they are warmer than the other air signs. Sometimes gemini can seem like they don't take anything seriously, an aquarius can come off as slightly aloof, but libra is much more emotionally cuddly.

There is a tendency for libras to be slightly vain. NOT always. Just sometimes. They can be a bit more focused on their appearance than the other two air signs because of venus. Libras like to be healthy and lovely. Nothing wrong with that. The influence of venus is a very good influence.

Charm is something that oozes from a libra man or woman, even if they are not physically that attractive, they will attract everyone in the room.

They sparkle with good manners, good taste, and knowing how to say things in a polite way.
BUT still.....remember....they ARE independent rebels.

Don't let that innocent smile fool you.

Aquarius is a fixed sign ruled by Uranus.


Aquarius is a fixed sign, we can be extremely focused, but also this focus can sometimes lead to being stubborn, as all fixed signs have a tendency to be. ( Scorpio, Taurus, and Leo )

Libras are great starters of projects, Aquarians are great finishers.
They are more comfortable being alone than either libra or gemini.
Aquarius is probably the most independent sign of the zodiac besides sagittarius.

If libra is the sign that embraces fashion and art, and gemini is the sign that embraces writing and acting.....then aquarius is the sign that embraces music and weirdly.....science.

It's true, most astrology books will talk about how aquarians are scientific and into inventions, technology etc...This is because they like new stuff. The future....NEW ways of doing things.

Music is a common hobby or career for aquarians too, you will find a lot of musicians with their venus or sun in aquarius.

Aquarians are in general very progressive and forward thinking.

" Humanitarians" is a common word used to describe aquarius, but really, I think all air signs are, so I wouldn't classify this as a difference.

Water bearers are animal lovers.

A lot of vets are aquarians. It mixes science and loving animals...good combo for a lot of water bearers.

Aquarians are great friends.

They love their friends and are very loyal. Whether they have one friend, or a thousand......when you are in need......you want an aquarian friend.
They are generally MUCH more comfortable with being pals, than lovers.

Aquarians love romance and relationships just as much as gemini and libra....but they are not as open to it. And certainly not as comfortable with the idea of love as a libra or Gemini.
Aquarians are very good at loving everybody, and being afraid to love just one.

Gemini is a mutable sign ruled by Mercury.


And indeed they do have mercurial personalities.
Gemini's can be either shy or outgoing, BUT they will always be smart.

They are witty, charming and communicators!

I would say they are the most likely to be writers or actors out of the air signs. Why?
Because they NEED to communicate in some way.

Check out a lot of successful writer's astrology charts, most likely you will find gemini somewhere. If not a sun sign, you will find a gemini moon etc.

They make fantastic actors too because they are great mimics, silly too, a lot of comics are gemini's or have gemini placed somewhere in their chart.
The twins are chatty.

Even shy gems will talk all day if they feel comfortable with you.
Gemini's also like to discuss anything and everything.

BUT they have much more tendency to get sidetracked, be bored and move on to something new.
A lot of gemini's have to work harder at sticking to things.

They don't usually PREFER to be in charge.

They are a mutable sign. As all mutable signs, they are adaptive, movers...they don't like to stay in one place too long.

They are great in any job that requires traveling. OR any job that is fast paced.
Gemini's are mentally quick,and thrive in any situation they can use their mind and sense of humor.

Being such great communicators and in need of mental stimulation is why sometimes they can be...gossips.

It's really just that they are bored and need stimulation, and fun.
Gossiping for a gemini is just mindless entertainment.
Not meant maliciously.

Gemini's love relationships as long as there is a lot of fun and flirting.
Being the sign of the twins means they have a lot of different sides to their personality yes...BUT it also means they long for their " twin " their " soul mate " so to speak.

If you break up with your gemini expecting them to pine for you...sorry...it won't happen.

They make WONDERFUL teachers in elementary school or high school. 
Their communication skills go over quite well in a classroom.
