The Decans

In order to give fuller interpretation to the Zodiac Signs, ancient astrologers subdivided each Sign into periods of approximately ten days. These divisions are known as the "decans" or "decantes" and cover modifications of individual traits, attributed to minor planetary influences, which temper or blend with the ruling influence of the period. The ten-day spans are somewhat arbitrary in order to allow for the five (and sometimes six) extra days in the year beyond the 360 days required for the thirty-six decans. According to accepted prodcedure, these days have thus been added to form various six-day periods instead of five. The earliest records of decans have been found inside coffin lids dating from the Tenth Egyptian Dynasty around 2100 B.C. Decans are also mentioned in the Babylonian Enuma Anu Enil, which dates approximately four centuries later. The root of the word "decante" is Greek in origin and means "ten days apart."

The planetary influences described under the decans are valuable in "shading" the traits of many individuals, but are generally subordinate to the stronger characteristics associated with the primary Zodiac Sign. In some people, the traits of the decans may only be slightly traced...in others, they are very marked. As a general rule, the primary Sign of an individual details his or her characteristics with what can be surprising exactitude, but where such individual traits may seem at variance with the accepted patterns of the Sign, then the answer may be found in that person's decan. A study of the decans may also reveal hidden factors to which a person may be susceptible, even though his or her major traits are fully delineated under his or her primary Sign.

First Decan May 23 to June 1

The First Decan of Gemini is also known as the Gemini Decante and the "Week of Freedom." This Decan is the most typical of its native Sign, meaning that individuals born during this period will most probably be of above-average intellect. These subjects could easily become good salespersons, writers or teachers of any number of varied topics. In short, they excel in the field of clear and concise communication. However, from a negative perspective, these individuals could also easily become flighty, gossipy and scatterbrained...a person whom others may find to be an interesting novelty for a time, but one with whom others would not want to become too involved for very long. These are restless souls who are likely to be somewhat uncomfortable if both minds and hands are not occupied. Reading may be a favorite pastime here and almost any subject will capture the interest...for a while, at least. However, reading choices should be directed into areas that are both useful and marketable. The youthful appearance of First Decan subjects can be a definite asset and may well keep acquaintances guessing as to how old this native truly might be. Many who fall under the jurisdiction of this Decan are left-handed or even ambidextrous. The influence of Mercury (the primary governing planet of this Decan) is apparent here in that these subjects will probably do more than the average amount of travelling in their lifetime and will most likely love to drive. This planetary influence also provides a nice blend of cretivity and logic. These natives want to be wanted, not needed, and nervous tension can frequently be a problem. The influence of Venus (one of the secondary planets governing this Decan) is at its strongest during the first five days and individuals born during this time period will find that their versatile Gemini natures are apt to become lacking in purpose. These natives may even lean toward indolence. Such people find sympathetic listeners for all their ideas and are prone to spend their time in planning schemes that usually have little if any success. These failures can lead to deceit and discouragement. In such instances, everything should be done in order to concentrate on a single purpose and take advantage of the self-discipline that is afforded by Jupiter (the other secondary planet governing this Decan) whose influence provides the ability to forestall failure. First Decan Gemini natives can be exceedingly intelligent, perceptive and skillful...particularly those born after the intial five days. There is often a great interest in communication and education with a strong affinity to the arts. Gemini subjects who fall under the jurisdication of this Decan detest waiting and possess an overwhelming urge to talk about everything going on around them...or at least make comments. There may also be something of an addiction to speed associated with this Decan and it is not unusual for its natives to be doing three or four things simultaneously. The motto of the First Decan of Gemini is "Intuition."

The constellation associated with this Decan is Ursa Minor (The Little Bear also known as The Little Dipper). Ursa Minor somewhat resembles a spoon whose handle has been bent backward. This group of stars was recognized as a constellation in 600 B.C. by Thales, a the Greek astronomer. According to Greek mythology, The Little Bear was Arcas, son of Callisto (or Ursa Major, The Great Bear). Arcas was placed in the heavens by Zeus, where he and his mother follow each other endlessly around the North Celestial Pole. The guiding pole star in this constellation is said to symbolize the important principle of truth that must constantly be a guide to humankind.

Second Decan June 2 to June 11

The Second Decan of Gemini is also known as the Libra Decante and the "Week of New Language." The influence of Venus, one of the secondary planets governing this Decan, can induce many rather interesting differences but chiefly makes for an individual more concerned with the "me too" than the "I am." Relationships with others is extrememly important and may well either "make or break" the lives of those who fall under the jurisdiction of this Decan. Thus, these natives need to be particularly careful in the selection of companions and associates...and the choice of a life partners is, of course, of the utmost importance. Here, rushing into any given situation should be avoided while the subject is too young to fully realize what he or she is doing. Courtesy of Venus, individuals ruled by this Decan are usually charming and possess a love of beauty. They may be artistic or musically gifted and, if so, such talents will need to be expressed. Something of a "closet romantic," these natives yearn for lasting love and have a good chance of finding it, assuming that the inherent fears associated with this Decan can be put aside. The combined influences of Venus and Mercury (the primary governing planet of this Decan) result in special abilities in the field of mathematics. These natives might become accountants, bookkeepers or instructors in the mathematical arena. Other good career choices might be in interior/exterior design, advertising layout and architecture. There is also an indication of good success in the legal profession, particularly as a trial attorney since these subjects are effective speakers who can communicate information in both a clear and convincing manner. It is inherent in the nature of this Decan to keep the personal environment in proper order at all times. Uneven wall hangings or other items which appear out of balance can be very upsetting to Second Decan individuals. In general, they insist upon harmony and good taste. The disposition tends toward being positive and friendly, but these individuals will stand up for ideals. Alternatively, if the influence of Mars (the other secondary planet governing this Decan) is overly-prominent, then these natives may be more aggressive. In this instance, the versatile Gemini nature will display a powerful and unexpected drive. Although this variation of the Second Decan is undoubtedly Gemini in character, it will be one that is "stepped-up" to such a high degree that it could reach the point of ruthlessness. Here, the quick and scheming ways of Mercury are "hitched" to the bull-dozing tactics of Mars, but may well be directed toward good instead of wasteful purposes...particularly if the sympathetic understanding of Venus is cultivated. The bigger and better the purpose, then the more individuals who fall under the jurisdiction of this Decan should adhere to their goals. It is of paramount importance that distractions and unnecessary details be avoided and that the voice of conscience be heeded. Second Decan Gemini individuals are loyal and faithful, particularly in marriage and partnerships, but hate to be alone. In addition, these natives can be diplomatic (in both social and political situations) and possess an outstanding sense of color and design. They are also romantic and tactile souls who are often natural peacemakers. The motto of the Second Decan of Gemini is "Fidelity."

The constellation associated with this Decan is Canis Major (The Great Dog). One of the most striking of all constallations in the heavens, Canis Major is marked by the brilliant Sirius (commonly called the Dog Star), which is the brightest star in the entire sky. Sirius is said to be responsible for the Northern Hemisphere's hot and muggy "dog days" which occur in September. According to certain legend, because Sirius rises at the same time as the Sun during late Summer, its brightness adds to the Sun's energy, thus producing additional warmth. In mythology, Canis Major...and its neighboring constellation, Canis Minor or The Little Dog...feature in a number of tales. One legend has the two dogs sitting patiently under a table at which the Twins, Castor and Pollux, are dining. Thus, the faint stars that can be observed between Canis Minor and the constellation of Gemini are the crumbs that the Twins have been feeding to the animals. According to the Ancient Greeks, Canis Major could run incredibly fast. "Laelaps" (as they called him) is said to have won a race against a fox which was the fastest creature in the world. Zeus placed the dog in the sky to celebrate the victory. In yet other myths, Great Dog and Little Dog are described as being Orion's hunting companions. To the Ancient Egyptians, who held Canis Major in the highest esteem, the dog symbolized loyalty to a master, and Sirius was particularly respected for its association with the annual flooding of the Nile.

Third Decan June 12 to June 21

The Third Decan of Gemini is also known as the Aquarius Decante and the "Week of the Seeker." The influence of Uranus, one of the secondary planets governing this Decan, can induce interesting external characteristics and personality differences but chiefly makes for a social type of individual who is friend-oriented. These natives possess an inherent desire to reform beliefs and situations to the benefit of all, not merely a select few. They are optimistic, believing...sometimes mistakenly...that the better side of humankind will ultimately come to the forefront. Third Decan subjects may (or would like to) belong to clubs, organizations and groups that are supportive of personal beliefs and ideals. Indeed, those ruled by this Third Decan would make for excellent leaders or officers in such organizations and, on occasion, will form their own. However, courtesy of Uranus, these natives may also be innovative loners who love people and ideas but rarely stick with either for very long since social causes and friendships with kindred spirits are valued more highly on a personal level than are family ties or romantic prospects. Friends should be wisely and carefully selected by this Decan since they can either aid in accomplishing more or serve to hold back these natives. There is no doubt that the influence of Uranus adds uniqueness to this personality which will manifest itself through such things as mannerisms and speech patterns, for example. In short, this Third Decan Gemini individual is "one of a kind." Natives of this Decan often combine the mamy talents afforded by Gemini and Mercury (the primary planet governing this Decan) toward one singular goal. Here, the influence of the Sun (another secondary planet governing this Decan) will help to make such a goal one of the highest possible caliber. Saturn (the third secondary planet governing this Decan) supplies knowledge and scholarly effort which is seldom found in the customary fickle nature of Gemini individuals. However, Saturn also brings worry that can serve to curb the exuberance provided by the Sun. If these two influences should happen to conflict, then the individual will fall into the Gemini habit of switching to whatever comes along...good or bad. Thus, ambition may be frustrated and study wasted. Third Decan Gemini natives should strive for the greatest things they can attain while trying to avoid worry in the process. Those born under the jurisdiction of this Decan are usually self-absorbed and inventive, with a hesitatation of allowing those around them to get too close. They may place other goals ahead of relationships, or seek much freedom within any partnership. As an iconoclast, this Decan will always question authority and the status quo. The motto of the Third Decan of Gemini is "Reason."

The constellation associated with this Decan is Ursa Major (The Great Bear), one of the oldest and perhaps best-known of the star patterns. Numerous legends have been associated with this constellation. Particularly famous is the group of seven stars which make up what is commonly known as The Big Dipper or The Plough. According to Cherokee legend, the handle of The Big Dipper represents a team of hunters pursuing the bear from the time it is high in the Springtime sky until it sets on Autumn evenings. The Iroquois of Canada's St. Lawrence River Valley and the Micmacs of Nova Scotia tell a more elaborate tale: represented by the Dipper bowl, the bear is hunted by seven warriors. Each Spring, the hunt begins where the bear leaves its den in Corona Borealis. The bear is not killed until the Fall, at which time his skeleton remains in the sky until the following Spring. Then, a new bear emerges from Corono Borealis and the hunt begins all over again. Instead of a bear, the Sioux of Central North America perceive Ursa Major as a long-tailed skunk. According to Chinese legend, the stars of The Big Dipper form a bushel measure to deliver food in fair amounts to the population during times of famine. The Ancient Hebrews also interpreted this constallation to be a bushel measure. To the early Britons, The Big Dipper formed the chariot of King Arthur, while the German people pictured the group of stars as a wagon and three horses. To the Romans, this grouping was a team of seven oxen harnessed and driven by Arcturus. In mythological legend, Zeus and a mortal woman named Callisto produced a son called Arcas. Hera, the jealous wife of Zeus, turned Callisto into a bear and one day while out hunting, Arcas almost killed the bear, unaware that it was his mother. Rescuing Callisto, Zeus placed both her and Arcas (whom he also turned into a bear) into the heavens together...Callisto as Ursa Major and Arcas as Ursa Minor.

Element & Quality

The four Zodiac Elements...Fire, Earth, Air and Water...are also known as the Triplicities since there are three signs belonging to each Elemental category. Thus, this trio of Signs share something of a similar basic character. These Elements are also known as the Four Humors, utilized in Astro-Meteorology to describe a type of wind and in other matters associated with the weather. Empedocles, a Fifth Century Greek philosopher, originated the terms "Fire," "Earth," "Air" and "Water," explaining the nature of the universe as an interaction of two opposing principles called "Love" and "Strife" who manipulated the four Elements. Empedocles also stated that these four Elements were all equal and of the same age, each ruling its own province and each possessing its own individual character. Thus, different mixtures of these Elements produced the different natures of things.

Many historic philosophers and alchemists also believed that the four Elements exhibited themeselves in humankind as four varying natures and that one would be more prevalent in each individual than the other three. Elemental signs are basic, being general or generic in nature. The related characteristics may be tempered by other factors, but the Elemental influence nonetheless refers to core human behavior and temperament. The Elemental quality associated with a Sign is dependent upon which of the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac the Sun was residing at the time of an individual's birth.

NOTE: In the Wiccan culture and some other Western traditions, there is also a Fifth Element known as Pure Spirit, "Quinta Essentia," or Akasha. Akasha is the life force...the basic substance of the Universe and the soul or spiritual being of an individual. It is the subtle spiritual essence that pervades all space...not precisely ether, but an ether-like substance of a spiritual rather than material nature which, in ancient writings, is said to operate by mean of sound or vibration. Thus, it is often identified with the Element of Air, but in a spiritual sense...the "Breath of God" concept. Essentially Akasha stands apart from the Four Elements of the Zodiac and is not depicted within an individual's horoscope. Akasha hints at the freedom of mankind and is a reminder of the "great mystery of the eternal."

Gemini is governed by the Element of Air...an Element it shares with the Signs of Libra and Aquarius. Air is also the ruler of the Third, Seventh and Eleventh Houses of the Zodiac. Air is the power of movement, of freshening and of intelligence. Air is also the symbol of the intellectual, representing the power of the mind and clarity of thought. It is believed to be the subtle material realm between the physical and spiritual planes, representing creative imagination and new beginnings. It is from this Element that all thoughts are initiated and where the human spirit ascends to be nourished. Air is traditionally associated with breath...the spirit and/or soul of all living creatures. Sound is a manifestation of the Element of Air. It was once believed that spirits and ghosts possessed the power to wrap themselves inside the wind, thus becoming endowed with invisibility. Associated with this belief is that the presence of a ghost may be indicated by areas of cold air. Howling winds were formerly thought to carry spirits of the night and due to the association of Air, sudden gusts were attributed to spirits and poltergeists. Air is principally concerned with communication, analysis and theory. Those who fall under its jurisdiction are smart-thinkers who are adept at handling abstract reasoning. In short, those who are governed by this Element love to analyze, synethesize and probe. Air describes the part of an individual which perceives himself or herself to be separate from the surrounding environment and seeks to form relationships by understanding how the various pieces can fit into a logical system or overall plan. The traditional symbol for Air is a triangle pointing upward with a horizontal line through the middle.

Air Signs are chiefly associated with communication. Individuals governed by this Element are alert, curious, clever and perceptive souls. They are able to perceive all sides of any equation and can determine the best approach. Balance is of paramount importance to Air natives. While these subjects are often cool, calm and collected, they can become cold if their equilibrium is upset. Freedom of thought and movement are the most cherished desires of those ruled by this Element. They advocate truth and justice and possess the ability to change circumstances with incredible speed. As thinkers, Air individuals tend to rely upon rationality rather than intuition or emotion. They also possess a philosophical approach to life which allows them to endure hardships. Natives of Air can tolerate almost any circumstance provided there is a rational explanation for the situation. They possess magnificent leadership capabilities and have a reputation for being fair. Air is associated with a mental approach, where experiences are processed by way of analyzing, thinking, reasoning and generally making sense out of any given situation. The influence of Air is apt to manifest itself in a most humane manner and those under its influence are blessed with the ability to "walk in another's shoes." These are objective and cooperative individuals who truly desire to make the world a better place. Air subjects are rarely prejudicial and possess a bright idealism which can often accomplish much.

As previously mentioned, the Element of Air is principally concerned with movement and the communication of ideas. Those who fall under its jurisdiction are restless individuals who hunger constantly for new concepts and notions. In short, they require an abundance of stimulation. Air natives are rational, versatile, verbal, quick and alert...possessed with the knowledge that they can charm their way out of anything and resourceful enough to make good things come from difficult situations. Gregarious and social, subject of Air adore collecting information...the main object being to study such information objectively and then disseminate it to everyone else. In essence, these are the informational processors of the Zodiac. Counted among the most unemotional and objective of all Zodiac Signs, those ruled by this Element value truth and realism, can see both sides of opposing issues and have the ability to offer balanced views of each.

Individuals ruled by Air can become negative when their expectation that everyone uphold the same standards is shattered. They cannot seem to grasp why each and every individual does not think and act as they do themselves. Rationalizing of mistakes may also occur, which limits the ability to perceive any situation as a learning experience. Air Signs are devoted to abstract ideas and, at times, may have difficulty in making decisions. This tendency leads others to view them as elusive and often exasperating characters. When those who fall under the influence of this Element are unable to cope with reality, they frequently retreat and attempt to live a "fairy tale" lifestyle. There is a tendency here toward constant movement...much like the wind itself...and even if the body appears to be still, the mind of one influenced by this Element is forever racing from one thing to another. Generally talkative, Air individuals are gregarious and work diligently from an early age to develop their social skills. However, they do find it difficult to make committments...mainly because they truly believe there to be far too many possibilities they have yet to explore. Though blessed with lightning quick mental abilities, natives of Air are apt to struggle in the world of emotions. Thus, those who fall under the jurisdiction of this Element need assistance in such areas.

Air individuals frequently attract those governed by the Element of Water (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces). However, Air frequently finds the nature of Water to be something of a "closed book." The world of feelings is vague to Air individuals and they fail to comprehend it. To Air, feelings are illogical...psychological at best, which is something Air can only smile about. Nevertheless, it is the native of Water who can offer much in the way of emotional aid to Air since Water tends to breathe more naturally in emotional pools. Air is prone to have a difficult time with Earth in the truest sense of the word. The unwavering sense of reality associated with Earth tends to smash those beautifully created "castles in the Air." However, this can be a valuable combination because the ideas of Air only become useful in the practical sense when they interact with Earth. Air natives are generally most compatible with Fire Signs since Fire needs Air in order to generate heat...and Fire stimulates Air, motivating the inception of new ideas.

Elemental Correspondences

ASPECT/POLARITY: Masculine, which is not a reference to gender but to the associated type of energy. In the case of the masculine aspect, the energy is projective and traditionally conceived as being more active, less receptive and focused on the spiritual/mental world, lending spirituality and activity (both physical and mental) to the character. Masculine signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius) are diurnal or day-oriented by nature, viewed in the same light as the Yang (or bright) polarity of the Tao.
ANGEL OF AIR: Raphael, Archangel of the East.
SEASON: Spring...the time of freshness.
VIRTUE: Knowledge...which is not to infer that Air is more intelligent than the other three Elements, but is generally well-rounded and perhaps better informed. Air is a good communicator, possesses an excellent grasp of language and usually knows a little something about everything. Air is blessed with a good personality and is easy to get to know.
CORE/INDIVIDUALITY: Seer...also known to the ancient philosophers as a priest. Air is mentally inclined, actively acquiring knowledge by means of experience, education and association. In times gone by, the only educated people were either priests or royal personages who took it upon themselves to acquire knowledge. Air is curious, original and possesses initiative, in addition to being (as a general rule) well-disciplined and a quick thinker.
NATURE: Mental and keen-witted. Air rationalizes by thinking things through rather than falling victim to emotional influences or physical factors. Air enjoys any type of entertainment where intellectual capacity and the ability to think quickly and accurately comes into play. Indeed, under such circumstances, Air is almost certain to get the upper hand.
EMOTION: Self appraisal. Air is prone to judge itself extremely harshly and tends to set certain personal standards in terms of hygiene, clothing, education, job performance and family. With the exception of Fire, Air is the most ego-oriented Element of the Zodiac.
EVILS: Chief fault is trickery. Air is crafty, underhanded and ingenious when it comes to evil...though not prone to physical violence. At its worst, Air is the epitome of mean-spiritedness and will invariably harbor a grudge. Air is swift to express opinions and is exceedingly opinionated. Air will not hesitate to verbally express anger, but physical violence is not generally a first choice in terms of an attack.
HUMOR: In Medical Astrology and Astro-Meteorology, the humor of Air is Sanguine, being hot and moist.
COLORS: White, Bright Yellow, Crimson, Pale Blue and Pastels.
MOON PHASE: First Quarter...New Moon (Waning).

The East also symbolizes the light of wisdom and consciousness. Its color is yellow, like the Sun itself and the sky at dawn.
MOTTO: To Know.

The Quality

Within each of the Triplicities or Elements is found a category known as the Qualities...also referred to as the Quadruplicities, Modes or Common States. There are three Qualities: Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. Each Quality addresses the manner of expression which will be displayed by the individual who falls within its jurisdiction, based upon which of the four Elements predominates. Thus, the Element (either Fire, Earth, Air or Water) will dictate the core characteristics, while the Quality (Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable) will dictate the way in which those characteristics are expressed.

Gemini is a Mutable Quality Sign (a Quality it shares with Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces). Mutable Signs coincide with the times of change in the Seasons...when that which has once been firmly established breaks down to clear a passage for the new. Thus, this is an unpredictable period which calls for adaptation. Mutable Signs dissolve the Fixed Quality of the Signs which precede them. The energy associated with this Mutable Quality is open to change, responding swiftly to new circumstances and ideas...able to come up with solutions in the blink of an eye. As the third Sign of Spring, Gemini is the maintainer of this Season. The Mutable Quality is a mentally active one whose focus is directed toward knowledge and a desire to change personal consciousness. Here, there is also a constant search for ways to make improvements. Mutable Quality energy is versatile and impressionable in its approach. There is a distinct duality in all Signs which fall into the Mutable category which gives them a talent for seeing both sides at the same time. However, taken to the extreme, this Mutable energy can initiate a cycle of restless indecision which often takes its toll upon the nervous system. As the Chameleons of the Zodiac, Mutable Signs are both versatile and flexible in every new situation, being only too happy to fill an assigned role. They adapt easily to changing conditions and like variety. Mutable Signs rarely have a particular agenda and can at times be "wishy-washy" or inconsistent with a dislike for assuming responsibility. Standing their ground is of little importance to Mutable individuals and they would much rather conform to the "norm," provided doing so will help the greater good. Mutable Signs are blessed with tremendous resourcefulness. They enjoy learning, are proponents of "fair play" and are also diplomatic. Sharp, sympathetic and able to see the essential elements of any given issue, Mutable subjects are quick to help others and are selfless in the process. Although there is a tendency for Mutable Signs to occasionally stretch themselves to the point of breaking, they are also adept at bouncing back. Mutable Quality Signs are correlated with the principle of harmony and may be conceived as spiralic patterns of energy. Gemini symbolizes spirals of energy which are directed upward and future-oriented. The essential nature of Mutable energy movement is to take what was initiated in the Cardinal and stablized in the Fixed, adapting these energies to the changing conditions of time and space. The Mutable Quality native is a perfect go-between, making contacts and connections wherever he or she might travel. In essence, the Mutable Quality is indicative of flexibility and adaptability, thriving on change and variety. It is also the most resourceful of the Qualities, able to make much from little, but can become so wrapped-up in tiny particulars that sight of the whole may be lost.

As an Air Sign with Mutable Quality, Gemini individuals are highly intellectual with an enormous need for stimulation. They require news and information in much the same manner as the other Zodiac Signs require oxygen and they thoroughly enjoy the exchange of ideas with others. In short, these natives are defintely not "loners." The minds of such individuals move constantly at the speed of light, able to process varying items of information in a multitude of ways. Indeed, these subjects are rather good at figuring things out...anything from the programming of a VCR to the facts of a murder mystery. Here, there is an overwhelming desire to analyze, synthesize and probe for informative data. There is an undeniable talent for the changing of a position as quickly as new information can be assimilated while remaining, at all times, totally objective. The downfall of this Gemini native may well lie in the adeptness of handling several things all at once since this may result in the adoption of far too much responsibility. At that point, there is likely to be displays of procrastination and scattered thought processes. However, if this native can manage to stay focused, then he or she is likely to accomplish more in one day than most others can accomplish in an entire week. This particular Mutable Air Quality Sign also has something of a reputation for being overly-inquisitive and, if there is a secret which needs to be kept, one would be best advised not to divulge it to a Gemini since this individual is a "spreader of news" and finds it difficult to maintain silence. The Element of Air provides Gemini with the strongest communication skills of all Mutable Quality Signs and many of these individuals make for superb writers. For this reason, they are often journalists or editors...or wish that they were since they seem to be happiest in newsrooms, night clubs, airports or anywhere else where things simply keep on happening. In addition, Gemini is also the most physically violent of the Air Signs...the only one liable to physically react instantly in anger. Thus, it is important that Gemini natives steer clear of such mind-altering substances as alcohol.

Gemini & Aries

The Aries individual will initially be attracted to the good-looking and socially amusing Gemini native, but the Aries desire to dominate will quickly rouse the rebellious tendencies of those governed by Gemini...tendencies that are always lurking just beneath the surface at the best of times. At first, the Gemini subject will laugh off the inherently bossy manner of Aries but if such continues, then there will be a revolution and one that will surely lead to a parting of the ways. Gemini individuals require fun and mental stimulation. Routine is death to these persons and any attempt to get a Gemini native to take care with health or finances must be undertaken in an extremely casual fashion. This union will undoubtedly be plagued with constant bickering until one or the other eventually throws in the towel and leaves the arena. The disagreements may be kept to a minimum, but both of these Signs relish having a good argument...and Gemini is prone to stir one up if he or she has to. For this relationship to last, the Aries partner needs to have developed (or is willing to develop) a keen sense of justice and patience...neither of which come easily to this Sign. Those governed by Gemini can be exalted one minute and in the depths of depression the next, which behavior will usually leave the Aries partner in a state of total confusion. Even though Gemini natives are eloquent in their speech, they are often superficial with the mind working busily on two different things at once. Still, in terms of a casual relationship, this could be a perfect match. Both will share in the excitement and adventure. Neither will ever be bored when they are together and neither will waste time wondering if the union will meet with a sad or happy ending.

The Aries/Gemini combination connects on both a physical and intellectual level. Each adores activity and remains optimistic even in the most trying of situations. They generally enjoy good communication and a deep understanding of the other's nature. Gemini natives find the pioneering and independent character of Aries to be most appealing. Still, should the Gemini partner find Aries to be too controlling or if the Aries partner takes the flirtatious nature of Gemini too seriously, arguments are sure to set the tone in this relationship. Nevertheless, there is a good balance here. The Aries individual wants to experience things and Gemini wants to discuss them. Together, they can make all kinds of new discoveries that each may have missed alone. Both partners will be blessed with a plethera of energy and share many common goals. Gemini is a thinker and a talker...one who prizes intellectual stimulation and freedom and who loves to look at all sides of an argument. Aries adores jumping headlong into new projects and has no aversion to getting dirty hands in the process. In this union, while the Gemini individual might be wishy-washy, Aries will be straightforward and decisive, making for a rather wonderful combination. Still, it is imperative that the Aries native allow the Gemini partner intellectual space.

Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury and Aries is ruled by the planet Mars. Due to the differing approaches, this pair usually works marvellously in tandem...getting their respective points across in different ways. However, each definitely needs to get those points across. Fevered debates can either add spice to this combination or ruin it altogether. The Aries subject needs to understand that Gemini adores a heatedly good argument, not to inflict insults or to dominate but simply as a magnificent workout for the brain. Gemini is governed by the element of Air while Aries is governed by the element of Fire. This is an excellent combination since Air fuels Fire and makes it spread. Thus, the Gemini partner will help Aries to realize his or her full potential since Gemini possesses the energy to keep up the the fast pace and wild ideas of the Aries individual. The blend of true, driving passion and intellectual prowess makes just about anything possible for this pair. Both will have wide-ranging interests and best of all, the Aries partner can come home at the conclusion of a long and active day to tell chat-hungry Gemini all about what happened. Gemini is Mutable is quality and Aries is Cardinal. Hence, the Aries native will naturally initiate new plans and Gemini will be willing to undertake almost anything...provided he or she is not forced to do so. Another dynamic aspect to this pairing will be the low level of competition between the two. Aries revels in the glory and Gemini will be more than happy to remain in the background, operating the strings. Both of these Signs are apt to be better at starting things than ending them, so if one partner becomes bored with the direction the relationship is heading, the other will not resent moving on to something new. Perhaps the best aspect of a Gemini/Aries match is the ability to work together as a single unit. In some instances, it might even be beneficial if this pair were to stay separated for a short period and then take a fresh look at each other from a distance. It could go far in helping them to keep their relationship interesting and possibly even eternal.

In essence, this combination may well experience difficult times due to the strong differences in the physically romantic arena. The mind plays an important role in such an area for the Gemini individual. Thus, Aries may prove to be simply too conventional. Though not a perfect match, the GeminiAries union can succeed with a little understanding and effort by both partners.

Love Compatibility

Gemini natives possess a lively and thought-oriented approach to affairs of the heart. They adore being captivated in a mental sense and are dynamically active. Any Gemini love interest will probably, first and foremost, be a friend and a sweetheart second. Being able to share and discuss new thoughts, new ideals and everything the Gemini individual conceives and learns will be important qualities in a relationship. This is a talkative and communicative Sign and the Gemini mind is constantly sifting through information. Thus, these are individuals who often speak before they think and although their words are not intended to inflict pain, can fall flat when they fail to follow through on an intention or promise. It is not unusual the the partner of a Gemini native to feel abandoned and unimportant when Gemini discovers a new and fascinating subject or person to explore...it is then that words from the past can become empty and hurtful. However, when Gemini natives are at their best, there is no more intruiging, joyful and enjoyable partner to be found in the entire Zodiac. When that is backed up by feelings of wholeness and completeness...frequently the very things Gemini seeks from a partnership...these are dynamic and loyal souls. Physically romantic interludes tend to be voyages of the mind for those governed by Gemini...they experience the height of their passion via thoughts and what sensations mean to them. These are open-minded individuals who are experimental but not necessarily driven by passion to engage in new techniques and adventure. Rather, it is curiosity that will compel natives of Gemini to embark upon fresh discoveries. They bring wit and laughter to an intimate situation and can be disheartened...even shocked...that their partners may not always go along with the ever-present sense of humor. Here, desires are prone to come and go with amazing speed and suddenness. In short, those ruled by Gemini can turn off equally as quickly as they can turn on. It is not in the Gemini nature to wait for anyone...and that includes a mate who needs a little more time to feel stimulated. To achieve longevity in a romantic affair, the Gemini native requires friendship, companionship and a partner who can share in mind explorations and journey as much as they need a mate. These are souls who generally require a partner who is secure or open enough not to be threatened by the quickly changing Gemini interests or whole-hearted experiments. They also need an individual who can help them ground out in order to penetrate one of their intrigues in depth. Gemini is a dual Sign and as such, frequently project part of themselves when attracted to a potential mate. Hence, the relationship becomes an external way for the Gemini native to work toward merging the two very different aspects which form his or her personality. This can create an intriuging and exciting spark in the beginning of any relationship, but can burn out once the Gemini indiviual has "owned up" to his or her other half, or has simply become bored and retreated back within the self.

Intelligent and freedom-loving, versatile and erratic, Gemini individuals tend to be a romantic challenge to any potential mate...and something of a mystery as well. The face of a Gemini is never a "blank page." The expression is either lit by a light from within or eroded by depression and moodiness...although, on the whole, Gemini males appear to be less moody in realtionship that the females. In addition, the emotions of Gemini natives are never at a standstill. In youth, eveything is either marvellous or absolutely awful...a tendency which is somewhat overcome with the experience of age. Gemini individuals are fascinated by all aspects of the concept of love, with the domestic angle being less of a fascination. Gemini subjects will definitely enter into a long-term relationship for passionate love and for no other reason, sweeping aside all older and wiser advice which may be offered. In short, they will act exactly as the heart dictates. Those governed by Gemini are counted among the lucky few who most certainly know the deep expression of being truly "in love." This can sometimes occur more than once during the lifetime of those ruled by this Sign. Gemini natives require a partner who understands them and who will accompany them to the heights of feeling. They need to feel free to wander...both mentally and physically. Thus, if a Gemini individual considers that an institution has become outmoded...a "humdrum" partnership, for example...then he or she will have no reservations about quickly severing all ties and moving on.

A potential mate must keep the Gemini native totally involved and completely busy if he or she wishes to achieve longevity in the union. This is not necessrily an easy task but if it can be accomplished, then it will probably prove to be very worthwhile. Communication is important to Gemini...but it would probably be wise to allow him or her to do most of the talking. Lively conversation, regardless of whether or not it truly leads anywhere, is exceedingly appealing to those governed by Gemini. However, the new and most current topics...perhaps even a bit of gossip every now and again...will fascinate these naturally curious natives. Gemini will be pleased at the suggestion of places to go and the offer of a mate's company on such excursions...and a partner should be on the lookout for anything interesting along the way which he or she could point out to the Gemini individual that the Gemini individual may have not noticed. It is important to note that the relationship never be lacking in newness and variety. A repeat of the same old things and same old approaches...whether it be in terms of greetings, conversation topics, going to the same places, seeing the same friends or playing the same games, etc...will undoubtedly bore a Gemini native to the point of actually grating on his or her nerves. In essence, sameness and routine are sure to end any relationship with a Gemini.

When it comes to long term commitments, few Gemini individuals get involved early in life due to their variable nature. In youth, they seldom occupy their time with only one relationship. When they do commit, it must be with a partner who has a liberal supply of patience and a saving sense of humor in order for the union to survive. However, those governed by Gemini often experience troublesome complications in a partnership and more than one long-term involvement is not uncommon for this Sign.

The Gemini male usually possesses a dual nature that when in active operation, can drive many of those governed by other Signs to the very edge of their patience and sanity. One minute, this man may be happy and the next, he is miserable...almost in the same breath. Since it is virtually impossible to predict which aspect of the Gemini personality may be on display at any given time, private life with this male can easily become a living hell. At worse, men governed by Gemini can sink into the depths of such misery that they lack the mental and spiritual power to control desires, appetites and passions. There is no other Zodiac Sign where opposites are so finely and clearly defined as Gemini. This male can be vicious one day and a veritable saint the next. His lower nature is of the very lowest caliber, while his higher nature reaches almost divine proportions. Only when the lower nature is subdued or dominated by the higher self can the Gemini man become one of the great spiritual giants of the world...joining ranks with the illustrious philosophers, seers, sages and poets. Males ruled by this Sign possess extraordinary intellectuality. They are susceptible to kindness, love and consideration but are given to various moods and may be perceived as persons with a dual personality. The Gemini man can be happy and unhappy...contented and discontented...in rapid succession, with no apparent reason for these changes. This is a male of many contradictions and it will be necessary for a potential partner to play varying roles...sweetheart, mate, parent and pal...in order to keep peace with this man both mentally and socially. There is no doubt that his contradictory tendencies will be well-nigh impossible for him to overcome because they are truly part and parcel of who he is. Hence, it would be foolish for any partner to enter the relationship thinking that he can be altered or saved. There will be nothing to gain here by partners losing their tempers while trying to get the Gemini man to see his idiosyncrasies. Even if he does acknowledge them, he is powerless to effectuate a change. Still, almost anything else that is desired from the Gemini male can be obtained...provided his partner use common sense and patience. For a relationship to last, it will be necessary for any mate to be relatively intellectual. One of the major problems in a relationship with this male is that it may be well-nigh impossible for any mate to get a word in edgeways.

The Gemini female is perhaps the most complex of the entire Zodiac when it comes to love and understanding. Her life will be full of contradictions. Not only does this woman say one thing and then do something else, her interests are so broad and her idealism so great, that she appears change with lightning speed. For example, in religious matters, her nature if often very strong...yet, she frequently does not confine or limit her beliefs to any one religion, sect, doctrine or creed, harboring much respect for all religious teachings and inclined to be very tolerant and liberal. The best ploy for any potential partner is to seduce her by promises of a long-term commitment. If a potential mate cannot do this in good conscience, then it should at least be made plain to the Gemini female that a long-term commitment is not out of the question some time in the future. Aside from this, she will need intellectual stimulation but should be allowed to win arguments. In terms of physical intimacy, the Gemini woman is difficult because she is so unpredictable and changeable...a partner will seldom know how to interpret what she says or what she does. One moment, she may be a siren and the next, a devout nun. There is a natural tendency for females governed by this Sign to crave things they do not possess only to find them mundane and unimportant once the desires have been granted. This woman often appears to be looking for something...hoping to find total happiness. Unfortunately, due to the inherent dual personality of this female, she may never be truly gratified for any length of time. In everything she does, the Gemini woman goes to extremes, almost as though she fails to understand the meaning of moderation. She is constantly nervous and always searching anxiously for something to do. When the lower nature of this female has full sway, she will seem to be obsessed with sensations of dissatisfaction and discontent that nothing in the outside world can explain, but which will cause those around her to feel totally disturbed. For a relationship to last, it will be necessary for any mate to provide constant change is order for the Gemini woman to remain happy. Essentially, the Gemini female is charming and lovable...but elusive.

Positive Aspects Of Gemini In Love:
Joyful - Good-Natured - Broad-Minded - Experimental - Radiant - Friendly - Enthusiastic - Flexible - Gentle

Negative Aspects Of Gemini In Love:
Unreliable - Fickle - Insincere - Dual-Natured - Self-Focused - Restless - Critical - Temperamental

Romantic Style:
Flirtatious - Lively - Fun
Gemini natives enjoy intellectual rapport equally as much as physical intimacy. However, not entirely at ease with their emotions, they tend to over-rationalize romantic feeling. Thus, those governed by Gemini need a partner who is not likely to insist on the whispering of sweet nothings. These can be moody souls and must be stimulated at all levels. The popular impression is that Gemini is brainy, flighty and sharp...but they are quite capable of loyalty provided a mate can match their wit and conversation. Romantic interludes are often a projection of mental images for natives of this Sign and it will be necessary for any partner to remain bright, cheerful, trim and constantly well turned out.

Career and Finances

Gemini natives are magnificent communicators and wonderful facilitators, which means they can talk twice as fast and twice as much as those born under almost any other Sign of the Zodiac. They are also able to put forth enough new and good notions to be considered the "idea factory" at any place of business. Given their quick and restless minds, these individuals are constantly moving from one project to the next. Thus, acting as an aide de camp would be ideal...if they can maintain the necessary momentum. Since they love to talk, those governed by Gemini work well as intermediaries or go-betweens. If a person seeks access, then a Gemini subject is sure to provide it. Indeed, contacts are their stock in trade and such contacts will probably be found in the context of a fast-paced, social whirl which is continuously challenging and provides much stimulation for these natives. If things begin to turn dull, then those ruled by Gemini will undoubtedly go in search of a new field in which to play. This Sign is curious to a fault, which can lead to trouble every so often. In addition, it is unlikely that these natives will ever mince their words. To be the leader of a staff meeting will not be a desired goal for Gemini subjects, but the providing of input will definitely be a personal requirement. Those who fall beneath the jurisdiction of this Zodiac Sign love to teach their colleagues and adore sharing the wealth of information they have gathered. In fact, the principal life function of any Gemini native is to receive and give both verbal and written information. They also like to create harmony and were born to unite people, sponsor businesses and create solutions. If "wanderlust" should happen to creep into the life of a Gemini subject, then such can generally be alleviated by a quick business trip or a few days of leisure. Thus, Gemini individuals would be well-served by a diligent assistant in their places of employment to keep tabs on the workaday world and ensure that things get done. Any office inhabited by a Gemini native is likely to be filled with multiple telephones, at least one computer (if not more), fax machines and a television. In short, anything which aids with communication. There will probably also be a packed suitcase in the corner...just in case. The choice of vehicle here would be a zippy little convertible, complete with a cell phone.

The characteristics of the Gemini nature tend toward success, particularly in fields which call for the exercise of a high degree of manual dexterity, alert mentality and an active imagination. These individuals are prone to enter into business partnerships or pursue two occupations simultaneously. They frequently display superior skill in the use of their hands and, indeed, handicrafts appeal to them, since they find satisfactory expression in transforming the creations conjured by their minds into reality...to say nothing of helping to relieve the inherent nervous energy associated with this Sign. In short, Gemini natives always need to be busy doing something. The singularly quick mind here enables these individuals to instantly comprehend the thoughts of others and they themselves are invariably prolific in original ideas. However, due to the quickness of those governed by this Sign, such original ideas are unfortunately not always thought through. They tend to crave employment which provides much personal freedom and flexibility. In short, a Gemini subject would not be caught dead in a humdrum existence.

As employees, Gemini individuals lack intense drive and rarely possess the willingness to work overtime. Generally, they are also lacking in a fixed and steady purpose and fail to understand the point of endless and devoted dedication. Nonetheless, there is a built-in ability here to deal efficiently with emergencies. Natives of Gemini are very persuasive characters...ones who can talk others into buying things they could not possibly even use...and they will keep the workplace humming with busy activity, an abundance of jokes and plenty of lighthearted chatter. However, this is not to say that Gemini subjects fail to get things accomplished. In secretarial positions, those governed by Gemini make for ideal employees, exceedingly capable of independently composing an intelligent, clearly-stated letter after being given only the most meager information regarding the subject matter, for example. Gemini natives are extremely adept at obtaining a raise in salary and, in such an instance, may be willing to work an extra hour a day...for a short period time at least. Nevertheless, Gemini employees will doubtless possess a youthful air of irresponsibility, likely to shoot down anything the prude of the office might say. The Gemini mind is at least a million years old, but the emotions are those of a teenager...as is the appearance. As a boss, the Gemini native will be a brilliant, though restless, executive. It is exceedingly difficult for these individuals to sit behind a desk for more than one hour at a time and they may well wear a hole in the carpet with their pacing if cooped-up for too long. When assigned to an executive position, these subjects will be quick to delegate authority to those around them. Employees of a Gemini employer can look forward to much excitement. Those governed by this Sign are seldom dogmatic and their opinions are generally flexible. They detest antagonising their employees...though in truth, few people interest Gemini individuals long enough for that type of intensity. The true character here, despite the surface warmth, is rather cool, aloof and lonely, but not unsympathetic. These natives may not be overly-sentimental, but they will always see the ridiculous side of any given situation. There appears to be a constant whirl of confusion and incessant activity within an office where Gemini is boss...but such confusion will not be experienced by the Gemini individual. These natives are able to perfectly sort things out and clear the muddy waters of all the junk. The quick eye and trigger-fast brain of those ruled by Gemini work in complete synchronisation. However, there is a tendency for these individuals to become bored following financial or business successes and they are likely to rush off in search of fresh challenges long before the time comes for retirement. Experts at the art of double-talk, Gemini subjects are clever in competitive situations. In addition, they are incurable dreamers and magnificent storytellers. As work colleagues, Gemini natives can be surprisingly aloof where their work is concerned but usually find they are able to converse on just about any subject. Able to talk their way toward a raise or a promotion, these individuals would do well to remember that it usually pays to also put in some work in order to reach such a goal.

Gemini natives can become excellent business people, being well-informed, clever and tactful in negotiations. This, coupled with the fact that they rarely fall victim to deceit, tends to make for financial success. However, given the prodigality with which Gemini individuals spend funds in the pursuit of new enterprises or personal excitement, they do not always amass great wealth. Indeed, it is often not until mid-life that those governed by this Sign are likely to actually save any money. Changeable and unpredicatable, Gemini individuals enjoy "blowing" their money and rarely worry about where the next check will come from, convinced that their inherent charisma will surely lead to something. They also cannot be bothered with balancing accounts since these natives always find so many more interesting things to do. As far as Gemini subjects are concerned, money is simply a necessary evil. Those who fall beneath the jurisdiction of this Sign are always on the lookout for a "good deal." Here, money will never become an all-consuming passion. These individuals love the good things in life and, if such costs money, then they will go ahead and earn it. Gemini natives rarely worry whether they have sufficient funds to go around since they are usually able to find the necessary cash when it truly matters. One of the major faults here is that those ruled by Gemini can have a rather hard time in deciding between practicality and pleasure. Thus, a practical partner would be most desirable...one who can keep a hold on the purse strings.

Gemini/Aries: A business partnership between Gemini and Aries could work out quite well. Gemini is ruled by air, a mental element which is mechanically inclined toward such goals as marketing, etc., while Aries has the ability to interact with the public. Thus, this combination provides a solid foundation for a good partnership in the making. The addition of an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn) into the mix, complete with that element's natural ability to keep the finances in order, is a virtual guarantee of success.

Gemini/Taurus: A business partnership between Gemini and Taurus could be successful. Governed by the pratical element of earth, Taurus will excel at the mechanics of the business, while Gemini, ruled by the mental element of air, shines in the field of marketing and could promote the business in a big way. In short, this partnership could prove to be very mutually beneficial.

Gemini/Gemini: A business partnership between two individuals governed by Gemini is unlikely to meet with success. Here, both individuals are too much alike and tend to share the same trait of occasional childish behavior which could result in death to any business venture.

Gemini/Cancer: A business partnership between Gemini and Cancer is not recommended...just as a personal relationship would not be recommended. Here, there would be so much bickering over the small things that nothing would ever be accomplished.

Gemini/Leo: A business partnership between Gemini and Leo is very favorable. Ruled by the element of fire, Leo would provide the inspiration, while Gemini, governed by the mental element of air, excels at marketing. Here, the major obstacle would be whether the mutable Gemini can convince the fixed Leo to take a broader view of matters.

Gemini/Virgo: A business partnership between Gemini and Virgo has the potential to be successful. Being logical and analytical, Virgo can easily handle the mechanical side of running the business, while the talkative and outgoing Gemini will interact well with the public, as well as securing adequate advertising, etc, for the product in question. In addition, this pair may well strike up a lasting friendship that would further help the business.

Gemini/Libra: A business partnership between Gemini and Libra is likely to be very successful. Here, both are ruled by the mental element of air, ensuring magnificent marketing skills. As well as being good partners, this pair can truly become great friends who are able to discuss decisions and ideas with mutual understanding.

Gemini/Scorpio: A business partnership between Gemini and Scorpio is almost certain to meet with failure. This pair would have such a hard time in a one-on-one relationship that any business is likely to turn into a state of constant bickering and jealousies, effectively killing any such partnership. In addition, the inner personalities of these two signs seldom mix under any circumstances.

Gemini/Sagittarius: A business partnership between Gemini and Sagittarius is not likely to meet with much success. Here, personality factors greatly in the differences between these two signs and they are too widely variant. Indeed, Gemini and Sagittarius are barely able to even remain friends for a long period of time. Gemini will want Sagittarius to settle down and take care of business, while Sagittarius will be too busy testing out new...and not so wonderful...ideas which would probably eventually ruin the business. In addition, both of these signs are of the mutable quality which can only lead to a rough road together.

Gemini/Capricorn: A business partnership between Gemini and Capricorn would only lead to total disaster. These two signs share so many opposing traits that any venture is destined to fail miserably. Indeed, this pair would probably not even make for suitable best friends...unless one of them would be willing to show sufficient change in personality which would soften the situation.

Gemini/Aquarius: A business partnership between Gemini and Aquarius has the potential to prosper. Since both of these signs are governed by the element of air, they generally get along together very well. Here, the ideal would be for Aquarius to handle the challenging area of the business and for Gemini to take care of the selling and advertising. Being the best talker of the two, Gemini will excel in any role that interacts with the public, while the more private and independent Aquarius will shine in the financial planning department.

Gemini/Pisces: A business partnership between Gemini and Pisces does not bode well for success. Both signs here are mutable, liable to change things...and themselves...at an alarming rate. After several false starts in any venture, it would come as no surprise to most people if the entire business then fell flat on its face.

The most compatible stockbroker for those ruled by Gemini is to be found among Taurus natives.
Investments likely to make money for Gemini individuals include aerospace, airlines, computers and other forms of electronic equipment.
