Historically, the Gemini zodiac sign has gotten an unfair reputation for being unfair and disparate; It is often referred to as ‘two-faced’ and ‘unreliable’.
My personal experience has been the opposite, and on this basis you should keep in mind that if you expect the worst of someone, you are unlikely to recognize or acknowledge them at their best.
Objectivity must always be present, and the sun sign (or ‘star’) is such a small part of the psyche that each person can express so much in their own individual way.
That said, the sun sign is a very prominent and important part of us, and if you are willing to view Gemini with understanding and recognition, it becomes clear how wonderful these messengers really are.
The hidden beauty of Gemini – basic
Twins are generally born between the ages of 21 and 21st May and 20e June – although the time the Sun enters Gemini will change from year to year, so if you were born near these dates you may need to contact an astrologer.
As the first air sign in the zodiac year (which begins on 21st March) Gemini is very focused on all forms of communication because this is what being an ‘air sign’ is all about.
Furthermore, Gemini is a ‘mutable’ sign (along with Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces), meaning they are more flexible and prone to change. All common signs have a desire to ‘blend’ with others and their environment in some way and so are generally more receptive, open-minded and adaptable than the other signs.
Because Gemini is the only communication/air sign that is flexible (changeable), this means they will be more willing to show the sides of their personality that best suit their environment. They will actually try harder to ‘fit in’ with where they are and match their characteristics to the person they are with.
The hidden beauty of Gemini and the many faces of Gemini
Because Geminis are more likely to change their ways in different environments, some may view their behavior as less authentic or lacking depth.
However, this is an inaccurate observation. One of the amazing things about Geminis is that they have an ever-changing external self, as they continually seek to explore new ways of thinking, learning, and seeing the world.
However, inside they are usually very sure of who they are and very adhering to their moral codes, once they reach the point where they have decided this (usually in their early thirties, after their return to Saturn).
By socializing with an ever-changing face, they are not ‘sincere’, they are simply ‘discovering’.
They love talking to people, but they also love to listen and really understand what motivates and inspires others, and they know exactly how to interact with each person. their level, so that the other person opens up and shares his true inner motivations. This is the shape-shifting gift of a mutable air sign!
Understanding others
As with all signs, some Geminis will be judgmental or harsh critics, but overall there is a side to Gemini that is more accepting and curious about other people than most people. Because they are attracted to all forms of communication, Gemini enjoys delving deeper into the thoughts and mannerisms of others.
This often makes them great impersonators and even more often fantastic writers and comics. They love to analyze and really get into the mindset of others and then almost mimic their way of doing things or recreate them as characters or perfect elements of a story.
They have a never-ending hunger for understanding and learning and will therefore usually read, learn or research something or other.
Often they will be drawn to politics and observance of civic behavior because of the sociological impact it can have not only on themselves, but on others around them. Many are hoarders of facts and details that they like to share and show off to others. .
Generally intelligent, quick-witted and interested in many things, one of their weaknesses may be that their fascination with the lives of others can turn them into gossip. However, the more developed among them will use their knowledge for psychological development and observational perceptions.
The ruling planet Mercury and the hidden beauty of Gemini
Gemini is ruled by the ‘Mercury the Messenger’ planet – so famous for its fast orbit, as it is closest to the Sun. Historically, Mercury has been considered symbolic of all forms of connective communication, such as postal, transportation and messaging systems, and in many ways Gemini’s quick and skillful ability to communicate effectively with others illustrates this beautifully.
It is because of this rapid motion that we on Earth often think of Mercury as ‘retrograde’; when he overtakes us, it appears as if he is moving ‘backwards’. This happens approximately every 4 months for just over 3 weeks.
During a Mercury retrograde, we may all be aware of more delays in our lives and find that many things are not as simple or easy to plan for. The real lesson of this is that we need to learn other ways of doing things and consider adapting our habits to other methods.
Gemini intrinsically understands the importance of change and flexibility, but they can also be impatient and are used to being highly skilled and intelligent. That’s why Geminis often find Mercury retrograde periods particularly difficult, as they don’t value obstacles, or are forced to wait or redo something.
Their understandable ‘irregular’ energy around the time of Mercury retrograde is another reason they seem ‘out of control’ or very different from time to time.
Love, compatibility and relationships
A Gemini won’t settle down or commit until they’re ready, and no amount of pressure will have any effect on them. In fact, pressuring or trying to control a Gemini will usually result in him or her distancing themselves completely.
Because they like all types of people, they can appear flirtatious at times when they are simply so intrigued by someone that they want to understand them. As for compatibility, they are generally not motivated by ‘flings’ or light-hearted romances, as they are too great minds and need intellectual stimulation and compatibility.
They will be the first to say that they want a partner with whom they can share all their thoughts, ideas and creative musings, and most importantly, someone with whom they can laugh.
Once they see someone who is intelligent enough to remain fascinating, changeable enough to be intriguing, and insightful enough to be endlessly stimulating, they will consider a love match.
Even though they seem attracted to the superficial, they actually run very deep and are usually looking for a great match between love and soulmates.
Some Geminis are quite easy to manipulate, as they are surprisingly empathetic and kind-hearted, and if someone manages to ensnare a Gemini using subversive means, they will do anything to escape and find freedom, and so they can seemingly end. infidelity’.
But once a Gemini finds love, they are very romantic, usually completely loving and honest. Therefore, they make for fantastic funny, erudite, cheerful, friendly and generous partners.
Further Depths and Chiron
Secretly, Geminis are quite emotional, romantic and deep. Like many people, they dream of love and the feeling of ‘belonging’ and personal connection with someone else. Despite their ability to communicate and befriend almost anyone when they are in shape, they do not easily share their vulnerabilities and do not want to “burden” others with their worries and problems.
Therefore, when they find someone, they can feel comfortable enough to be themselves and tolerate enough to trust. They value this above all else. They are incredibly loyal friends, who never forget a good deed and they are the ones who will always be the first to help someone else in need.
Whether it’s a friend or a true stranger, they have the kindest hearts and are the most generous with their time and energy when someone else is in need. If someone else betrays or forgets them, they are deeply hurt, as they have innocence and naivety of mind, often forgetting that many are more selfish in their motives.
Twin Psyche
It is easy for them to see the best in others, to the point of being exhausted, used, or bullied. The ‘wounded healer’ Chiron is at his best in Gemini and this is reflected in these deeper elements of the Gemini psyche.
They are often drawn to work or creating situations where they can help other people, animals or the environment and deep down you may notice that Gemini, who always seems to be laughing, networking and passing along funny quotes, is actually doing a lot of work for the good cause. , or has an animal shelter in their garden.
Some may never see the hidden beauty of Gemini, because only when you take the time to get close enough will they share this side with you. However, I can assure you that once you see their ability to love and their tendency toward kindness, you will realize that the reason they seem “two-faced” is simply because they feel so much.
They just want to spread joy, laughter, and appreciation to others, so they will hide their own needs, vulnerabilities, and fears until this inequality sometimes becomes visible.
The next time you see a Gemini acting strangely, reach out to them with the gift of friendship. There is a good chance that they feel sad or lonely and need some of the beauty that they radiate.
