The Gemini guide
May 21 – Jun 20 · Air · Mutable · ruled by Mercury
Gemini is a mutable air sign ruled by Mercury. In astrology, Gemini is associated with a curious, communicative, playful quality — a personality that tends to lead with curious energy while quietly circling back to playful.
Gemini thinks out loud. Ideas are tested by being said, which is why Gemini positions can look inconsistent from outside — the last sentence was a draft, not a verdict. The sign collects: contacts, references, half-finished skills. Depth is the assignment, and it usually arrives through one subject that refuses to get boring.
Where Gemini comes from
Gemini is Castor and Pollux, twin brothers of Greek myth — one mortal, one immortal — who chose to share a single fate between heaven and the underworld. The sign inherits that doubling: two truths held at once.
