GEMINI

MAY 21 - JUNE 20

Archetypes and Roles

The Communicator, the Interpreter, the Writer, the Speaker, the Storyteller, the Educator

Engaged in perpetual conversation, the celestial Twins illustrate your thirst for knowledge and focus on communication. You're happiest when able to pursue several interests and projects at once.

Spirituality

"I Think" is your signature phrase. Spiritual teachings which stimulate your keen intellect will uplift you. The Twins are the first of the zodiac's human symbols. The divine child seeking enlightenment and wisdom links to Gemini.

The Twins are positive and negative sides of the same person as the shadow twins of Celtic lore suggest. This reveals our constant struggle to balance light and dark, good and evil in our lives.

You are the hallmarks of the human race- Intelligence (Gemini is an air sign), adaptability (Gemini is a mutable sign), and communicativeness (Gemini is ruled by Mercury).

As a Gemini, you are endlessly curious about everything and must be a part of the busy scene.

Duality is your most famous trait. You usually want more than one of everything. As a result, you often leave a trail of unfinished tasks.

Gemini is the sign of communication- you enjoy writing notes, chatting with strangers, and the telephone is a major means of communication.

Your quick mind can explain any action, defend any position, justify any course. You pick up information here, gossip there, tidbits everywhere. This makes you an ideal conversationalist, for you know a little about everything.

You have a quicksilver personality that can adapt to many kinds of people. You are often drawn to the stage and the dramatic arts.

Amusing, versatile, and witty, you are a wonderful friend who lifts people out of their doldrums. True, you can be impatient with persons who aren't as quick as you are, or who can't keep up with the rapid flow of your thought and speech.

Routine and monotony are two things you dread and you will go to any lengths to avoid them. Change is your keyword, and what you value most is freedom. Inquisitive and imaginative, you are open to a different way of looking at things. For the sheer fascination of it, people should have at least one Gemini in their lives, two might be exhausting.
