Sun in Gemini

"Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions.  All life is an experiment.  The more experiments you make the better."     —Ralph Waldo Emerson, born May 25, 1803

An Overview of Sun Sign Characteristics for Gemini

   The third sign of the zodiac, Gemini is ruled by Mercury which represents intelligence invested in matter.  The glyph symbolizes two pieces of wood bound together.  In ancient times this was seen to signify the conflicts arising from contradictory mental processes.  Geminis establish their relationship between the self and material substance through a balance of opposing thoughts.  This bond may also be interpreted as the link between rhythm and form.

In Gemini we move from the action, reaction response of Aries, Taurus to the interaction response.  The Gemini nature Interacts with the environment, investigating, learning, knowing and exchanging ideas.  The intellect dominates Gemini, and all things intellectual are valued greatly.  As communication is also of importance to Geminis, knowledge is never a thing to be hoarded.  Seldom is a twin more entertained than in the midst of exchanging ideas with others of an intellectual nature.

                          Sang Solomon to Sheba,
                          And kissed her dusky face,
                          ‘All day long from mid-day
                          We have talked in the one place,
                          All day long from shadowless noon
                          We have gone round and round
                          In the narrow theme of love
                          Like a old horse in a pound.’

                          From: Solomon and Sheba by William Butler Yeats, born June 13, 1865

Sun Sign Personality Traits for Gemini

Being the most versatile and changeable of the signs, Geminis are seldom what they seem to be.  Chameleon like, they will take a stand, voice an opinion, decide on an option then completely change their mind tomorrow.  Nothing is ever written in stone by Gemini.  They are truly a free soul, driven by curiosity and a desire to know and do.  They usually have several things going at once, and within such chaos, they thrive.

Gemini is traditionally associated with the vibrant pursuits and activities
of the early summer season.

Geminis are bright, witty, entertaining and rarely get deeply absorbed in any one task.  There are just too many things to do and know, and so many new people to meet.  They prefer to skim the surface of many things, then to get deeply involved in one interest.  If they do become drawn into something, they always feel they are missing out.  It will always be what they aren't doing, or don't have, or the people they haven't met that intrigue them the most.

"Wherever I am, I always find myself looking out the window wishing I was somewhere else."
        —Angelina Jolie, born June 4, 1975

Where is the Planet Mercury in Your Birth Horoscope?

Of all the planets within our solar system, Mercury is nearest to the Sun.  There is a direct correspondence to this fact in the mapping of an individual's birth chart.  With the exception of the Moon, Mercury revolves through the zodiac faster than any other planet; yet its proximity to the Sun insures that its placement will always be near to or on par with the subject's Solar sign.

It is likely that you will be able to determine where Mercury was at the time of your birth without consulting an astrologer.  By reading the three potential profiles, it is often uncanny how clearly one of them will fit to us.  I thought you would enjoy trying this out for yourself.  You can explore the three positions of Mercury through the following links:

Geminis are optimistic people.  All things are fresh and fascinating for the twins, it's the way they like it to be.  They often possess the enthusiasm of a child.  Routine is boring, and boring is not allowed.  Restless, with an active imagination and a keen intellect, life must be lived to the fullest for Gemini.  Perceived as a game, life is best played with swift moves and entertaining teammates.  With the zeal of a sportsman, Gemini analyzes everything.  They often possess a compulsive need to know the why of all they experience.  A twin wants to know the causes, motivations, and dynamics behind everything and everyone they encounter.

"When I learn something new—and it happens every day—I feel a little more at home in this universe, a little more comfortable in the nest."      —Bill Moyers, born June 5, 1934

Geminis are expressive folk, and this may manifest beyond mere speech.  Often gifted with their hands, it seems whatever they touch does turn to gold.  Their love of communication may also express itself as an affinity for languages, which they tend to pick up quite easily.  Known for being great story tellers, Geminis have a knack of making life a little more interesting for the rest of us.

Eighteenth century ceiling mural.

Morality is not an issue, and values are situational.  Gemini's are usually affectionate, courteous, kind, generous, thoughtful, and superficial.  They are attractive and interesting people who instinctively know how to meet their own needs and will do whatever it takes to do so.  Although self interest is always the primary motivator in a Gemini person, they are also known to be honest, straightforward and without guile.  They are what they are, and usually have no problem admitting their failings.  Whatever they choose as a course of action is done out in the open without a measure of deviousness.

Other Gemini traits include: adaptability, ingenuity and cleverness.  They are a mental sign and therefore logical, even brilliant at times, possessing a great deal of charm. However, it is important to remember that the symbol for this sign is twins, and that not all twins are alike.  There are broad distinctions within the Gemini character.  In contrast to the shining one described above is the shadow twin.  On the turn of a moment, Gemini can become cynical, biting, moody and quickly angered.  Inseparable as two sides of a coin, those born in this sign can be dazzling and irresistible or inconstant and irrational.

Physical Tendencies of Gemini

Physically, Geminis have a youthful demeanor, sometimes childlike.  Gemini rules the arms, shoulders, hands, lungs and nervous system.  They generally have a sensitive nervous system, and don't fare well under too much stress.  As Gemini considers danger about as seriously as they consider the rest of life, there is a need to restrain a sense of heroic invincibility.

Insights Into Gemini Relationships

Geminis probably make better friends than they do lovers.  They are entertaining companions and are more intrigued by the idea of love than the actual day to day involvement.  Remember, what intrigues a Gemini is the unknown.  Once something is familiar as an old pair of socks, the interest wears thin and the need for new worlds to investigate grows strong again.  Geminis are fickle.  This is not intentional, it is their basic nature to be so.  Life seems too short a span to get very serious about anything for a Gemini.  So, in love as in life, intensity of feeling is always fleeting.  It is, while it is!

"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure.  I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle.  But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
         —Marilyn Monroe, born June 1, 1926

Aries - Taurus - Gemini - Cancer - Leo
Virgo - Libra - Scorpio - Sagittarius
Capricorn - Aquarius - Pisces

"The conception of a sky couple for these stars has been universal from remote antiquity, but our Latin title dates only from classical times, varied by Gemelli, which still is the Iatlian name.  The Anglo-Saxons knew them as ge twisan, and the Anglo-Normans as Frère; the modern French as Gémeaux, and the Germans as Zwillinge, Bayer's Zwilling.

While on earth these Twins were sons of Leda, becoming, after their transfer to the sky, Geminum Astrum, Ledaei Fratres, Ledaei Juvenes, and Ledaeum Sidus; Dante calling their location Nido di Leda, the Nest of Leda. Cowley, the contemporary of Milton, wrote of them as the Ledaean Stars.  Individually they were Castor and Pollux,—Dante's and the Italians' Castore e Polluce; Apollo and Hercules, Triptolemus and Iasion, Theseus and Pirithoüs.

With the Greeks they were Δίδυμοι, the Twins,—Dioscuri in Rome,—the Sons of Zeus.  In India they always were prominent as Acvini, the Ashwins, or Horsemen, but, popularly, they were Mithuna, the boy and girl, the Tamil Midhunam, afterwards changed to Jituma, or Tituma, from the Greek title.  Some of the Jews ascribed them to the tribe of Benjamin, although others more fitly claimed them for Simeon and Levi, jointly, the Brethren.  They called them Teōmïm; the Tyrians, Tome; and the Arabian astronomers, Al Tau'amān, the Twins. "

—Richard Hinckley Allen; Star-Names and Their Meanings, 1899

The Lore of Gemini in Mythology

Mythology is closely interwoven with Astrology.  Despite all that we do not know about the origins of either lore it is certain that starwatching began with passion on humanity's first night beneath the open sky.  Somewhere in time, shapes were perceived, figures imagined, names given and stories were told about the densely populated tapestry of the heavens.  All elder cultures throughout the world developed tales of the constellations which over time were imbued with meaning to explain various phenomena of our existence within the cosmos.

Mythology in general is far more than a collection of "make believe" fantasies created by primitive societies to explain away what they could not understand.  The role of Myth in a society was to set the abstract complexities of Nature within a context of story that the human mind could comprehend.  Wondering long on what keeps the world from falling through space or whether the dawn will follow night is a costly distraction when there is hunting to do and crops to tend.  Story sets cosmic ideas in a scale we can relate to, human scale, which establishes a sense of accord and instills a faith that all is well with the universe.

Astrology and Mythology serve a similar function in this regard.  We benefit from Astrology not so much as a tool of fortune-telling but as a directional guide to understanding who we are individually and what our unique role ought to be in this life.  As Carl Jung stated, Astrology claims only that we each possess the qualities of the year and of the season in which we were born.  To discern just what those qualities are ... is as fascinating to each of us as the night sky.

Image at right : 'Leda' with her twin sons, Castor & Pollux by Leonardo da Vinci, painted after 1510.  The theme of Leda and the Swan was one which da Vinci returned to throughout his life.

The constellation of Gemini has been seen as twin figures by cultures throughout the world, back into prehistory.  The 'Two Stars', referring to its very bright suns, which the Greeks recognized as Castor and Polydeuces, were named for the younger and elder forms of the god Horus by the Egyptians.  To the Romans they were Hercules and Apollo.  Often perceived as twin boys, the lore sustains that they were placed in the night sky by Jove to honor and exemplify the fidelity of their brotherly love.  In other instances they were seen as a sister and brother or two angels, then within later Christian traditions, as Adam and Eve.

Stories of hero twins are also related throughout the world.  For the Greeks their was Castor and Polydeuces, also known as the Dioscuri, or Heavenly Twins.  They were the children of Zeus and Leda, queen of Sparta, thus also the brothers to the infamous Helen, late of Troy.  The exploits of these twins are many, and all heroic.  In their youth they sailed with Jason to retrieve the Golden Fleece.

                          So Leda's twins, bright-shining, at their beck
                             Oft have delivered stricken barks from wreck.
                                                                                         —Horace

To the Romans, who knew them as Castor and Pollux, the twins were invoked on the field of battle to assure victory.  For centuries beyond they were held as guardians to sailors on extended or risky voyages.

"I had ambitions to set out and find, like an odyssey or going home somewhere … set out to find … this home that I’d left a while back and couldn’t remember exactly where it was, but I was on my way there.  And encountering what I encountered on the way was how I envisioned it all.  I didn’t really have any ambition at all.  I was born very far from where I’m supposed to be, and so, I’m on my way home, you know?"
