GEMINIS TO ENTERTAIN/1

It’s the third sign of the Zodiac. It’s governed by Mercury. It’s a masculine sign. It’s element is the Air, it is a Mutable sign. It’s color is yellow; it’s birthstone is topaz and agate, and it’s lucky day is Wednesday. The astrological symbol of Gemini is the roman numeral II, which represents the duality of the sign as well as the twins themselves (this sun sign has often been associated with the Greek myth of Castor and Pollux). In the Tropical Zodiac, the Sun passes through the sign of Gemini approximately from May 21 to June 21.

Geminis are the first Zodiac sign which is not linked to a vital function (for Aries it is initiating things; for Taurus it is stabilizing them). Hence, it is a highly intellectual sign, which can let his mind wander through diverse fields, since it is free of problems relating to survival. It’s no wonder that it is the first mutable sign in the Zodiac cycle.

The sign of Gemini is extremely curious. Knowledge brings him immense pleasure, comparable with the pleasure a Taurean experiences while eating. Geminis are attentive to details (they rarely miss any events) and have a great sense of humor. On the other hand, this intelligence has as a counterbalance a certain shallowness, imposed by Mercury, which relegates Geminis back amongst common mortals. Geminis hear and see everything but, more often than not, they have neither the time nor the desire to store everything they discover.
