Gemini's usually have quite an active left brain, depicting a logical, surface-conscious type of mind. You generally like variety, living in the present, meeting others, and being sociable. As Gemini is ruled by Mercury, communication in a practical or verbal form is a major expression of this sign. It also symbolises communication through the five senses--touch, smell, sight, sound, and taste. Accordingly, you rarely venture beyond the five senses because a significant focus for you is toward tangible sense and knowledge. Socially, you may be very popular, particularly as you are often a good entertainer and an articulate companion. However, you may not enjoy being tied down to one locality or human being.

Unless contrasted elsewhere, you are not generally very emotional, which may suggest that you lack sympathy and empathy. Part of this is rooted in your own sense of individuality. It is important that you distinguish yourself from your immediate environment. You avoid any kind of dependency and conventional constraints, often bending the rules to suit yourself. Gemini can display a dual nature in that one the one hand, you want to resist strong attachments that demand your attention in ways that limit your freedom, yet you also want to be involved with more than one activity or person at a time. This dual focus often enhances your nervous energy. You should realise that self-fulfilment cannot be achieved without some form of cooperation. This is also tied to a realisation that an individual's fate is connected to the whole of humanity's.

The intellectual nature of this mutable air sign suggests greater public involvement through lecturing, addressing meetings, chat-shows, editorials, etc. In extreme cases, there can be an obsession to impress others with a gossipy opinion. With such a talent for discourse, Gemini's are often involved in journalism and the media in general. One of the greatest skills portrayed by many Gemini's is the ability to manipulate a conversation--with or without knowledge of the subject at hand.

The practical side of this sign tends to be more service-oriented, involving the use of the hands in conjunction with processing information to keep up with a chosen skill. A classic example is that of a locksmith who enjoys the freedom to get about, obtain data on the latest variety of key structures, and be able to maintain a sense of independence.

Any love of travel will be due to the change of scenery it offers. Although you are not particularly drawn by the idea of great wealth, money is attractive to you because it provides you with the feeling of being able to do what you want. You should try to control any nervous energy that may be present. Mind and body relaxation techniques would help, as well as eating slowly. This would assist you in keeping your composure in moments of great nervous tension.
