Gemini

Gemini is Mercury ruled mutable air sign. Air signs are associated with the intellect and the mind. Gemini is often referred to as the reporter of the zodiac, they like to gather information and knowledge. It is associated with youth, most Gemini types look young beyond their years. Staying alive and mentally active is a fountain of youth for Gemini. This is very versatile and lively quick-silver energy. The scope of interests is varied. A jack of all trades is applied to both Mercury ruled signs but Gemini would be the one with the book knowledge about it and Virgo the one who knows how to put the good information to good use. If Gemini is on the 6th house cusp chances are that you have numerous, varied skills. Gemini represents basic learning, the gathering of information, which is not an indication of a lack of intelligence. The never-ending quest for new knowledge and information often means a lack of time for in-depth obsession with one thing. Newspaper and magazine articles are typical of Gemini kind of reporting of information. Reader's Digest typifies the collection of knowledge by Gemini. It is condensed from longer articles, written clearly and precisely and provides it all in a nutshell. Trivial Pursuit is a Gemini game. Gemini is the reporter of the zodiac, ruled by planet Mercury - the messenger. It is accumulation of data for the purpose of reciting that, which was learned, and then moving onto to the next thing.

Gemini energy is naturally very quick and alert, the minute that curiosity is aroused. It is also very inquisitive, the mind is very logical and ability to synthesize the varied components of data is more of Virgo characteristic, but strong Mercurial types also tend to have this knack. You can be one of the more fascinating and witty conversationalists as you have practiced your verbal skills from the time you uttered your first word. A lot of people with this energy at their disposal learned to talk earlier than the average baby. Maybe those two-three months ensured that you would become very articulate and enjoy the taste of words. Gemini energy is very skilled with words.

Gemini like all air signs is sociable, and truly need the company of others. You tend to bore easily when the conversation or action gets in a rut. New things, situations and people excite you, which satisfies your curious nature. Talking whilst sitting on your hands doesn't come easily, expressive hands belong to Gemini. Venus in Gemini people have sensitive hands, almost a turn-on. The most effective form of punishment for children with this flow of energy in their charts is to take away the telephone.

This is Peter Pan energy, as it idealistically retains its desire to remain young at heart. People resonating this mercurial energy attract young friends to their side as they reverberate such youthful vibrations from their own being. Maybe people with this particular kind of energy never fully grow up, but on the other hand they do manage to hold onto those child- like qualities which keep them living life to the fullest - today. The world would be lacking without people like you, who seem to have some access to the fountain of youth.

It is easy to get dizzy around this energy, as you can literally get exhausted watching Gemini children flutter about from one activity to the next and never appear to tire. Gemini adults aren't much slower. These children as well as the adults with Gemini energy have a ready punch line to most comments they hear. I have two children and a husband with pronounced Gemini traits and they keep me in stitches with their jokes and lovable wit. Gemini children also have a never-ending list of questions - their "why" stage can be more challenging.

Gemini energy is seldom true to the characteristics as it is by ever changing and adapting to the environment.

There is a downside with all zodiacal energies, when you deny the free expression of this oscillating energy, you may act and sound very scattered and superficial. The vast quantities of knowledge may come out as inconsequential trivia. The energy flow may be excitable and high-strung rather than animated and vivacious.

Instead of informed discussion based on facts the Gemini person may resort to gossip or even slander. Small talk may be distorted to incessant, prattling drivel. Should the rational thinking faculties be obstructed the end result might well be shallow analyzing without true depth, showing in turn a lack of understanding. As an example consider a schoolmate of mine, who was a straight A student right through school, graduating with honors. Her ability to recall information was uncanny, yet instead of going on with her academic studies she became a saleslady for a department store - why? She had only learned to recite knowledge as if it were poetry, but she had not grasped the actual information.

Analyzing a situation to death without reaching a rational conclusion might be one form of blocked energy for air signs in general. The area in your life where things are constantly changing, where you employ your rationalizing skills, and where you need to prepared for changes is the house with Gemini on the cusp. This being a dual sign there are usually two or more ...(jobs, marriages, children, careers, interests, and hobbies). I guess Gemini would be whirl-wind kind of air.
