Gemini is lively, energetic, versatile, and intellectual, lives primarily in the mind rather than the emotions, and is ex-
tremely adaptable to new situations.
RULING PLANET Mercury: Ancient messenger of the gods. In astrology, Mercury rules communication and travel. Its
influence emphasizes quick cleverness and a nervous temperament.
SYMBOL The Twins: Associated with duality, humanism, versatility, communication.
GLYPH (WRITTEN SYMBOL) The pictograph represents the two figures of the Twins. The dual symbol also pic-
tures the human arms or lungs (the parts of the body that Gemini rules). In symbolic terms, two upright lines
bounded by top and bottom lines represent wisdom, learning, and the powers of the mind to synthesize information.
DOMINANT KEYWORD I THINK.
POLARITY Sagittarius:
Gemini is the sign of thought and communication on a personal level. Natives of Gemini strive for self-expression, and
try to impose their point of view on others. Sagittarius, which is Gemini’s opposite sign, is the sign governing the wider
provenance of philosophy and mental exploration. Sagittarian people tend to shrink from close personal involvement
and, unlike Gemini, are shaped by what others think of them.
PART OF THE BODY RULED BY GEMINI Hands, arms, shoulders, and lungs: Geminis are susceptible to strains
and accidents involving arms and hands; also prone to bronchitis and respiratory ailments.
