Gemini - The Twins. The third sign of the zodiac
The third sign of the Zodiac is Gemini, commonly known as the Twins. If your birthday falls between May 21 – June 21, your astrological sign is Gemini. It is a positive extroverted masculine sign that’s ruled by Mercury.
It’s also an air sign along with Libra and Aquarius. Because it’s an air sign, it’s often associated with being intellectual or philosophical, with good communication skills.
Gemini, like other astrological signs originated from the constellation that shares its name. But also like many of the other signs, it is no in alignment with the constellation due to the precession of the equinoxes.
An interesting note about the constellation is its origin. In Greek mythology, the origins of Gemini are often based upon the Greek myth of Castor and Pollux – twin sons of Leda having different fathers. Pollux’s father was Zeus and Castor’s father was Tyndareus. This left Pollux immortal, and Castor immortal. Upon Castor’s death, Pollux asked Zeus if he could share his immortality with his brother. He were granted that wish and they were then transformed into the Gemini Constellation.
Geminis are often inquisitive people that are highly intellectual and charming. They’re often upbeat and optimistic, possessing much energy and a positive outlook. They’re generally skilled at multitasking and communication abilities, and have a high level of creativity. Geminis frequent want to be the center of attention in most situations. On the negative side, Geminis can also be very vain and overly critical. They’re often described as temperamental and fickle.
Some careers that are a good fit for the Gemini are anything related to the arts and entertainment. Actors, musicians, models, comedians. Anything that commands attentions.
Some famous Geminis Include Allen Ginsberg, Angelina Jolie, Barbara Bush, Bob Dylan, Clint Eastwood, Donald Trump, Frank Lloyd Wright, John F. Kennedy, Miles Davis, and Paul McCartney to name a few.
