TANUJ PALM & ASTRO

Gemini  
Typical Gemini's are very lively and charming and excellent conversationalists. They are active mentally and physically and are often much younger-looking than they really are. They are restless, easily bored and unable to concentrate on any one thing for a prolonged period of time.

Since they are restless and keep changing their minds, they are notoriously undependable. The intellect dominates Gemini and all things that are intellectual are valued greatly by them. As communication is also important to Gemini's, knowledge is never a thing to be hoarded. Gemini's are the most versatile of all the sun signs . They will decide on an option and completely change their mind next day. Nothing is ever written in stone by Gemini. They are free soul, driven by curiosity and desire to know. Gemini's rarely get deeply absorbed in any one task and anything they haven't touched intrigue them the most.

Mercury, the fast-footed messenger of the gods, is the planet that rules Gemini. As the zodiac's designated messengers, Gemini’s 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 encourages these intelligent and charming souls to turn over from one way of thinking to another.

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.

 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 net workers. 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.

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 Pollex symbolize Gemini's function as a messenger. According to fairy tale, 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.

Fragrance

Ginseng. This reviving 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, Mantra Therapy, Meditation 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 circulate 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 mischievous good looks remind us of Gemini's eternally youthful appearance.
