The sign of the Governor or Inspector
"To Dance or not to Live?"
Gemini: "Of course he loves me - see those
two Xs at the end of his letter?"
Virgo: "Yes, that means he's double-crossing
you!"
Leo: "Sweetheart, I'm burning up with love
for you!"
Gemini: "Please don't make a fuel of yourself."
Gemini: "Our love has turned to ashes - I knew him when he had money to burn!"
Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, is the planet nearest to the Sun. It Foxtrots around our star, gathering style and info and socialising it to the rest of the system. Mercury represents the capacity to understand the desires of self-will and to transform these into positive, physical action. It's the planet of the mind and the power of communication. Through Mercury we develop an ability to think, write, speak, observe and dance. Mercury, therefore, colours every dancer's attitude and vision of the world, as well as their capacity to express their inner responses. For our Twins, these capacities and potentialities are, in a major way, conveyed through music and dance.
Although this planet's position in the horoscope indicates the power to communicate thoughts and perceptions to the world, intelligence is something deeper. Intelligence is distributed throughout all the planets. It is the relationship of the planets to each other that truly describes what we call intelligence. Mercury rules speaking, language, mathematics, draft and design, students, messengers, young people, offices, teachers and pursuits where the mind of man has wings. In particular, this Mercurial power plays a dominant roll in the total being of the Virgo soul.
Dancers born under this third sign of the Zodiac are known for their versatility, their duality. They experience no problem prancing a Tango to Waltz music with two partners at the same time, while conversing with the couple next door. These terrible Twins have two or more sides to their personalities… a little multi-schizophrenic, we'd say. One moment they're happy and fun-loving, the next, sullen and morose.
So don't change your contact lenses, you're not seeing double, it's called a Gemini-delusion - now you see it, now you don't. Was it love you thought you caught fleetingly on those fickle features? Hate? Ecstasy? Intelligence? Idealism? Sorrow?' Joy? The mercurial switch of a Gemini's expression, is as illuminating as the psychedelic lights at your local disco. It's hard to tell where reality ends and illusion begins… contrasting elements blending and separating spontaneously.
Male or female, Gemini are impatient with conservative, stick-in-the-muds, or with people who can't make up their minds. So don't ask a Gemini, "should we Cha-Cha or Boogie?" you either Boogie or you Cha-Cha. Gemini knows where he stands; at the moment he's doing that on your toes instead of waltzing. Mercury people also have that special habit of reading the last page first. That's why they so often start their showdance or exhibition with an exit and end it with an entrance.
If you know a Gemini who have ever read a book from beginning to end without getting bored halfway through, send them for dance lessons. This will stabilise their astronomical sphere (or check their natal chart to see if the twin has Taurus, Capricorn or one of the more persistent signs on the ascendant).
Unless there's a conflicting, over-eating element, the Gemini's build is usually slender; they're also agile and taller than average. Many have fine, sharp features, as if they were cut in a cameo, and intellectually, are extremely bright… an astute snap, crackle and pop mind. They are book browsers, who can get the gist of its contents in a brief scanning of the pages.
Another very happy side to the twin set is that they live longer than other signs because there are two of them; Castor this year, Pollux the next, so in real time this sign should still be around and kicking at 180. We know about the two of you but that doesn't give you freedom to gorge twice as much cake on your birthday, rather keep that slender, streamlined Gemini figure firm, by doubling up on your dancing. Have a happy journey... Quickstep the nights away.
LOVE: Grows gradually. Affections are subdued, emotions deep. This one lives to love, rises to love, needs to love. Dedication propels, inspiration accelerates, intellect gives balance - it can cope, will manage. There is tact, discretion, timing, rhythm. This one knows how to enrich love, how to feed love. The beat pulsates irresistibly - cha, cha, cha. There is magic, champagne, fulfilment.
PASSION: Is tremendous; communicating by touch; serves to replenish, to comfort, to nourish. This combination is long-term, clear-sighted, with strong and binding nerve centres. The chemistry flows... nothing is inhibitted. It's all high-reaching - there is continuity. Physical exchange is rendezvous with destiny. This combination stays stable… can't get hurt.
Dance: Is sparadic; with stops and starts. Can get demoralised; a desperate need for harmony. Opposite forces are present. A change of sign required for fluent Ballroom and Latin co-ordination. Rhythmic energies call for buoyancy; the bounce and bubbling Samba, the carefree Boogie, the cheerful Jive, the sofisticated Swing and a Gemini-Libra partnership... let the rhythm roll
