After the heaviness of Taurus comes the airy agility of Gemini, the Twins. Taureans are bound to the earth, to the literal and concrete, but Geminis soar in the ether of abstractions, ideas, and - most of all - words. The Gemini is a chameleon, which makes their personality hard to describe since it changes all the time. Those born under the sign of the "Twins" have at least two personalities, but often many more. The Twins are the zodiac's wordsmiths, the lovers of language, the poets and bards, the verbal magicians. In the zodiacal quadrant where Gemini falls, Aries initiates life's energy, and Taurus gives it solidity and form. The Twins expand it, extend it, and turn it toward interconnection and communication. Astrology holds that they are the nerve synapses of culture, the facilitators who coordinate information and pass it along.
Gemini, ruled by the planet Mercury, weds a silver tongue to quickslivered temperament. Twins crave experience, variety, mobility, change, company, banter, and intellectual play. They are endlessly curious and experimental. They loathe routine, and fear stagnation. They are generalists; they can, and usually do, suggest cogent opinions on almost any subject, although their knowledge is apt to be superficial. Mentally quick, they nonetheless often lack the Taureans' capacity for deep, productive, singly-focused thought. Befitting their sign, the Twins are skilled at seeing two-sides, or all sides, of a topic.
In love they are dubious partners, characteristically flighty and inclined to be overly intellectual, clinical and cold. They may be sexually curious, but are seldom truly sensual. Geminis like to keep their options open and their commitments light. For them, deep involvement is tantamount to entrapment.
The Twins are venturesome. A Gemini in a family is the member most likely to leave home in search of a larger arena for his or her own talents and appetites. It is the Twins' bane that once they find their wider world, they may feel achingly alone in it, despite their extroversion. Given their charm, ready wit, and facility with words, they can easily present themselves as capable and confident. Only those closest to them are likely to see the insecurity that their confidence masks.. ..
Gemini is the zodiac's Adolescent. The advantage of this characteristic is that Geminis usually stay young in spirit throughout their lives. They retain their sense of humor and stay mentally flexible and open to new ideas. Nevertheless, the Twins fear age. Ironically, they often come into their own in the middle years, when they have learned to distill what is important from what is idly charming. Until they reach this point they must struggle with the sign's particular demon: all talk, no action. Word bestotted Geminis are forever beset by ephemeral enthusiasms. For them, to discuss an idea is wonderful and magical, but to implement it is tiresome. They are the masters of the half-finished project, the thought abandoned short of fruition once talking stops and tedious work begins.
The Twins' manifest intellectual gifts often bring them great success with no real effort - but they are hard put to sustain it. Thus the chore of Geminis is to learn perserverance and clutivate depth. They must aspire to substance as well as style. They must take themselves and their words seriously.
Geminis born June 3 are extremely intelligent, though their brilliance is likely to be analytical rather than creative in nature. They have considerable nervous energy that can manifest itself as ill temper. Although argumentative at times, they are much more likely to keep their feelings to themselves.
Friends and Lovers
June 3 individuals do not have the usual Gemini need for making friends, although others are easily attracted to them. There is an element of egotism in these folks, yet it does not detract from their likableness. In romance, they can be demanding partners because they need constant reassurance that their mates are devoted to them
Children and Family
June 3 people tend to come from an extreme background. Whether extreme or fortunate, they have a difficult time reconciling their adult feelings with their childhood emotions. Instead of trying to rechannel their experience when they become parents, they often back off from the challenge
Dreams and Goals
June 3 individuals wish to achieve a level of independence in their economic and personal lives. Although they work with some dedication to bring this about, they may lack the discipline to achieve their ultimate goals. They also may have set unrealistic personal goals. They can ignore their loved ones, but they may realize the value of those people only when they are no longer part of their lives.
