You are an airy sign you live mostly in the mind. You will be carefree, joyous and reluctant. Your mind will be strong and positive and strong. You are often versatile. Restless and inclined to changes and make improvements whenever there is necessity. You also appreciate travelling in search of adventure and amusement. Your enjoyment of the use of words enhances your ability to converse. You are quick, perceptive, clever, playful and imaginative, and you express yourself to feel alive. You feel fresh when you can move around mentally and physically unrestricted. Your ability to bluff your way out of tight corners is phenomenal, and you will always be on the go. You will be doing more than one thing at a time. This dual phenomenon is an important part of your nature. You need plenty of variety and change. You can very easily become bored, and your answer to drop whatever is boring to you is quite certain and to take, the next job in hand is one of your characterises. You should be careful not to overstrain your sensitive nervous system, which can break down under pressure. You enjoy mental recreation, but you also appreciate travelling in search of adventure and amusement. If you’re not interested in something, you can be indifferent to your liking and friendship. You love to be in company and attempt a whole variety of things simultaneously.

Physical Appearance:

Describing the Gemini is as mercurial is right on the money, since Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury. Moving, restless, seeking, learning — Gemini is constant motion, a torrent of wind which is in keeping with this sign’s element of Air. The Twins are highly intellectual and won’t hesitate to play mind games with a lover, mere child’s play to them. They are also great communicators, so get ready to hear everything from pithy remarks to impassioned pleas. Inventive, quick-witted and fun, the Twins will jump around from one lover to the next until they find one which is almost as smart as they are and able to keep up in this high-spirited race. The reward for those who can lasso a Gemini is a free-spirited lover who shines at parties but is also a devil in the bedroom.

Personality:

A fine bone structure and movements that are light often set you apart from others and make you good dancers as well. Your facial expressions are usually baby like in their transparency. Quick to smile, with ears that are a bit larger than normal, your physique tends to remain slim even when your food intake begins to cross the limits .The Gemini is always right and never changes his mind – until the next time the argument comes around, when he will take a totally different stand, and deny ever having given vent to his earlier opinions. This is infuriating for his opponents in argument, especially as he has a considerable talent for dialogue – and a tendency to know a very little about a very great number of things, and to master this knowledge skilfully as to seem well informed. His ability to bluff his way out of tight corners is phenomenal. There then, are his worst faults – inconsistency and superficiality. Little wonder, perhaps, that the world’s most popular journalists in newspaper, radio, and television are Gemini’s. For again, they have an insistent urge to communicate.

Profession and Career:

You would make good writers, radio and TV producers or anchor people, lecturers, linguists, teachers, travel agents, sales people.

Business and Finances:

Like air, you feel fresh when you can move around mentally and physically unrestricted. But when travelling, you’re likely to take along beepers, mobile phones, laptop computers, portable radios and televisions, and remote controls. You like being busy, juggling two or more things at once. Boredom, censure or repression could make you impatient, restless, anxious, snappish, sarcastic, gossipy, cynical or nervously exhausted.

Romance and Marriage:

A love affair with a Gemini requires great stamina; so start doing those push-ups now! The Twins are both fun and funny and love to laugh, play and romp. They are possessed of a very active mind, which can sometimes lead to a short attention span. The best way to keep the Twins around, and aroused, is through mental stimulation. A razor-sharp and imaginative lover is a godsend to the terrific Twins. This sign also values adventure and travel, so a certain footloose and fancy freeness will help this romance bloom. The duality of the Twins allows them to see both sides of an issue, so in times of stress, they are much likelier to be a lover than a fighter. They will also feel especially connected to those who can help them feel, since they spend so much of their time thinking. It’s true that your attentions tend to stray even after marriage but it’s also true that responsibilities gradually change your attitude and force you into being steady wives and husbands. And yet, you love your home and family and want the best for them. Resolving contradictions where you want to remain free and yet have a good family life are essential for you. 

Health and Disease:

You suffer from allergies, asthma and frequent colds and flu. The skin, hair, veins as well as throat, kidneys and lumbar region of Gemini’s get easily affected.
