I am communicating to you now as we enter the communicative sign of GEMINI. This is the first of three air signs and ruled by Mercury. Gemini's mode of operation is thought and then to put it out there for the world to acknowledge. There is usually no brain filter between thought and speaking. They don't care about this as their predisposition is to spread knowledge as they know it to be. They do this as fast as they can so that the next bit of information can be allowed out of them to spread to the world that awaits this information.

These light-filled souls emerge from the heaviness of the earthy Taurus to soar in the world of knowledge and information. They are like a computer and they can often feel that way to others, as they release data that they think is important. The thing that they need to do is to try to cut their information to the quick and understand the people whom they are speaking to. Not everyone is interested in everything that they have to say. Common sense is urged in using content to those blessed souls that they impart their captivating information. Not everyone will be struck dumb with their knowledge.

Gemini rules the lungs. Air flows through the lungs so they need to connect to people through the air they breathe. They are in love with words and use them at the very moment they feel compelled.

The symbol for Gemini is the twins ... this means that they have two opinions about most things. Aries finds itself as the adolescent energy in the zodiac, Gemini is the preadolescent, the true Peter Pan traveling the world. These kindred souls usually leave their home to seek out and see the world.

They usually mature in their midlife and so the world is not so intimidating for them. Routine is anathema for them. Their need for variety is truly vibrant and necessary for their livelihood. The problem for them is that as soon as they have talked about something, they feel that they have done it, so they just travel onto the next subject. And as a result they display a very short attention span.

Gemini's really need to finish things, as they live with a mired of unfinished projects. To live with a Gemini is a challenge that needs the strength to overlook the many things that seem common place to the Gemini. Piles seem important to Gemini, and they can usually tell what is in every pile, so you can't just move them as the Gemini will feel lost and disorientated. They're so charming that they really get along with most earth bound souls. They recognize that they are afraid to land for too long, anywhere, so as not to become lodged in our atmosphere. Often thought of as the magician as they seem to pull ideas out of their head so fast it seems like magic.

Their need is to transform the world by their thoughts and to communicate these thoughts to keep us informed at the highest level. They just can't take a back seat to information. Their thoughts travel like the wind picking up whatever they like at the moment. So curious that they want to know everything about a subject that they are currently interested in at the moment. This could change in an instant if something new appeals to them. They are generally fun to be around as they have a repertoire of jokes and interesting facts that generally appeal to most. They do well at parties, as they are so social. Very high energy emanates from them so most of the rest of the world can relax and just enjoy them as they will entertain for quite a while.

Confrontation is just not their way of life expression. Just like the air goes around something, Gemini would rather move around a problem. This also makes them rather unknowledgeable about feelings.

Gemini's have a hard time knowing when they hurt another. Then they feel terrible about that incident but move on to further thoughtless actions. They don't intend to hurt anyone as they really don't seem to get hurt all that much. Feelings are not a high priority for Gemini. They are often very unfeeling individuals, but contrary to the rest of us, they really do have feelings. They just don't get in touch with them in an interaction. It occurs to them after the action. They are so much fun that they can be forgiven easily as one can see the rarity of and in this individual.
