Gemini Zodiac Artwork

The Gemini Zodiac Sign

“The Gemini symbol is meant to represent a pair of twins, particularly Dioscuri, who were granted shared half-immortality after the death of their mortal brother Castor. Geminis are known to have duel personalities, acting one way on a certain day and completely differently the next. However, the twins also represent a Gemini’s desire to communicate with others and share ideas with a group.” – Daniella Urdinlaiz

“Have you ever been so busy that you wished you could clone yourself just to get everything done? That’s the Gemini experience in a nutshell. Appropriately symbolized by the celestial twins, this air sign was interested in so many pursuits that it had to double itself. ” – Aliza Kelly Faragher

“You react instantly to new situations, but because you’re so keenly attuned to your environment, you tend to have a nervous temperament. And though you give off sparks of energy, excitement, and charm, inside you feel like a wound-up spring. Others are fascinated by your enthusiasm while inwardly you’re already bored with this person or that project. People like to be around you because you’re interesting and amusing. They admire you for your talent with words and sense of humor. Although you’re considered more of a cerebral type, friends trust your judgement about emotional matters. They also know you’ll jump in to help when asked.” – Joanna Martine Woolfolk

Opposite sign and house: Sagittarius

This is a mental axis, where Gemini and the 3rd house represent the “lower mind” and Sagittarius and the 9th house represent the “higher mind”. Gemini and the third house rule curiosity and logical thinking. Sagittarius and the ninth house rule a broader way of thinking–the quest for meaning, ideas that expand upon the here and now.
