By the time the Sun moves into Gemini, the cool
breezes of spring warm up and we witness nature's wonders. Mercury, the fast-footed messenger of the gods, is the planet that rules Gemini.
As the zodiac's designated messengers, Geminis are caught between two worlds.
You'll find most Gemini people to be completely involved in thoughts and
words.
No wonder Gemini people can have more than one opinion at the same
time. In fact, their often conflicting viewpoints make it seem like they
have "split personalities". No need to call in the psychiatrists,
though. It's not a personality disorder, it's just Gemini's need for variety
that induces these intelligent and charming souls to flip from one way
of thinking to another.
Their curiosity leads them to seek almost constant
mental stimulation, and can make it very hard to pin them down. We'd like
to keep our Gemini friends tied down to one place sometimes, but that's
not their natural condition. Besides, if we don't let them keep moving,
they won't have any news to bring back the next time we meet. To see how much
influence Gemini really has in your life, order a LifeQuest
or an InnerChild report. To see some great gift ideas for

| Gemini is an AIR sign |
| Air people take ideas and expand upon them, spreading
them out as far as they can in all directions. Air people also link things
together, and that's why they're such great networkers. They talk a lot,
and thrive on debate -- but we shouldn't take their tendency to argue as
a personal affront - they just want to find out what we're thinking! |
|
|
| Gemini People are MUTABLE |
| They're versatile and able to adapt easily to changing
circumstances. They can always find more than one use for an idea or object,
and they are exceptionally creative. Of course they take awhile to
make up their minds, since they never fail to weigh all the variables that
they need to factor into important decisions. |
|
| Zodiac Presence |
The
Twins Castor and Pollux embody Gemini's function as a messenger. According
to myth, it was through the kindness of their father Jupiter that the twins
were spared a horrible fate, and wound up splitting their time between Earth
and Olympus. Perhaps the idea that Gemini people have ideas that are "out
of this world" isn't so far-fetched after all. |
|
| Graphic Symbol |
The
glyph for Gemini symbolizes the Twins and their dual spiritual and material
nature. Even with their cell phones, they're always spreading ideas throughout
the world. |
|
| Color |
Gemini's
color is a pale shade or crystallized version of blue. This is the color
of the air, the sea upon which Gemini people launch their ships filled with
ideas and information. Gemini people like to be surrounded with blue, in
their clothing and their belongings. It gives them the feeling of being
out in the open, and free to take off at any moment! |
|
| Gems |
Blue
Topaz radiates Gemini's color, and when it refracts light, it radiates the
colors of the rainbow on its edges - much in the way that Gemini accumulates
ideas and reflects them back to anybody who'll listen. |
|
| Fragrance |
| Ginseng. This invigorating root is a sure-fire
tonic that fosters mental energy. |
| |
| Body Correspondence |
| The Lungs. Just like Gemini people refresh us with their ideas,
the lungs bring fresh air into the body. Sometimes Gemini people get so
excited that their breath becomes shallow and they can lose their sense
of balance. When this happens, they need to ground themselves by taking
deep breaths of fresh air. When Gemini people get too wired, yoga, Tai Chi
and other meditative exercises work wonders to center them and help them
focus their thoughts. |
|
| Number |
The
number of Gemini is Three. This is the number that takes energy and matter
and disseminates it - much like Gemini does with ideas and information.
|
|
| Tarot Image |
| The Magus (Magician). The Magus is pretty pleased
with himself and the powers that he's discovered. He animates the world
around him, and his impish good looks remind us of Gemini's eternally youthful
appearance. |

| How to Present the Gift: |
|
The first hurdle you'll have to clear is getting your Gemini pal all to yourself - but once you get their attention, the rest is easy. Geminis will examine a gift to ensure that it's "really theirs", and then they'll very matter-of-factly open it, smile and move on to the next thing. Don't be offended - if you get a Gemini to focus for more than 5 seconds, you really impressed them.

| Gemini is here, there and everywhere. Gemini loves to network and communicate, and admires originality. To grab a Gemini's attention, focus on the new, trendy, eccentric or futuristic - or feed a Gemini's brain with information.
Cool Stuff From Our Partners:
Gemini people are ultra-trendy and they like being connected to any possibility of being networked with friends, family and potential business contacts. They're partial to silver and pewter-colored items. They like sleek and modern designs, like Alessi at eLUXURY.com and Mikimoto. Their taste runs from slightly eccentric to out-and-out futuristic. Something Gemini can use to communicate with will always score big, and the more trendy it is, the better, like an answering machine cordless phone.
