Gemini is the urge to KNOW. Those born under the sign of The Twins think and act swiftly. They are curious and versatile and on an endless search for experience, knowledge, limits and boundaries. They yearn to learn. Gemini is the messenger and the networker of the zodiac. They can talk to anybody, are happiest when they have many things going at once, but may tend to scatter their energy. Gemini likes to identify and classify. Though speech is particularly important to them, they are concerned with connections and communication of all kinds; letters, telephones, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general. Verbal, mental and restless, Gemini energy is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.

Gemini’s must avoid fickleness and superficiality. It has been suggested that Gemini’s are prone to making up a story when they don’t really know the answer. In actuality, they want to be helpful, so they stretch the truth or leave out important details so as not to hurt anyone’s feelings. They must be careful not to believe an opinion without proof, or to make assumptions and draw conclusions without full information.

On the spiritual level, Gemini helps open people to new ideas and concepts. They help you see beyond limiting beliefs and concepts. On the positive level, they can clearly communicate abstract higher ideas into words that are easily understood. On the negative level, they can chatter incessantly without saying anything of significance. Where Gemini resides in your chart, is where you need to learn to communicate effectively.
