Geminis are often adaptable, witty, eloquent and lively people. Considered to be slightly superficial and nervous, Geminis tend to know a little bit about a lot of things, versus knowing any one subject in depth. Usually they tend to be very logical and rational people, with quick minds and good speaking abilities. Geminis feel the need to do something, and are always keeping themselves busy and in order. They tend not to trust their emotions, and rely mainly on their intellect instead of their gut feelings. Geminis are generally quick at everything, especially when it comes to learning things. Geminis are extremely restless, their active brains seem to need constant stimulation. Meaning that in virtually all aspects of their lives, they require contrasting experiences. Geminis have trouble staying focused on anything for too long, making it hard to set down to a consistent lifestyle. Curious and alert, Geminis love communicating, never running out of things to talk about. Their minds pick up facts quickly, and they enjoy acquiring knowledge. The sign of Gemini itself is complex, the twins representing the duality in a Geminian's personality. Needing contrast and change, a Gemini grows tired of the same thing for too long. They thrive on nervous energy, trying to keep busy all the time. Geminis usually do more than one thing at a time; they'll read several books at the same time, hold down a few jobs at the same time, and take night courses or summer school just for the heck of it. Geminis seem to retain a youthfulness that enables them to look at the world with fresh eyes. Studying, working and hanging out with their friends in their spare time is basically what a Geminian's life consists of. Geminis are interested in the media, keeping up with the news and latest info on technology (their other love). Having information at their fingertips 24/7 is most often a Geminian's idea of heaven.
Geminis are successful in almost any kind of career, but to stick with one job means that whatever profession they adopt must be challenging and diverse. Able to hold down more than one job at a time easily, Geminis often pick up whatever they can find until they find a job that holds their undivided attention. Their love of communication and information makes them excellent journalists, writers, editors, and photographers. They work well under pressure and enjoy traveling. Geminis are most productive with Ariens, Virgoans, Librans, Sagittarians, Capricorns, and Aquarians. They can get along with Taureans, other Geminis, Cancers, Leos, and Scorpios, but it takes a bit of extra work to get things done. Geminis find it most difficult to work with Pisceans, whose vague approach to things makes them uneasy.
Geminis are easy to talk to, and strike up conversations with almost anyone they meet. They find people fascinating, and are curios to figure out what makes others tick. They're lively and amusing, and more than willing to share their busy lifestyles with their friends. They like having fun and love playing devil's advocate for the sake of providing an interesting discussion. Geminis have sharp tongues, and are sometimes too argumentative for their own good. When it comes to going out, they've got thousands of ideas. A Gemini will know every club, every party, every place that provides a fantastic and interesting setting. They love variety, and encourage their friends to break out of every day routine and try new things. Geminis get along best with independent people who can accept their restless and fickle behavior. Geminis like to have a feeling of being free, and when they feel that someone is getting too attached, they'll get as far away from that person as possible. They love being around action-seeking people, and get along with those who communicate well. Being this way, they get along well with Ariens, other Geminis, Virgoans, Sagittarians, and Aquarians. They can get along a bit with Cancers, Leos, Librans, and Scorpios. Geminis find Taureans, Capricorns and Pisceans boring and dull.
The sensitive body area of the Gemini consists of the shoulders, arms and nerves. Foods that are usually good for Geminis consist of nuts, peas, beans and carrots. The flowers and plants associated with this sign are lily-of-the-valley, lavender, myrtle, and hazel. Generally, "smart" animals are considered to be associated with this sign, animals like mynah birds, parrots and monkeys.
Sailor Star Maker is a Gemini.
