The sign of Gemini, having the symbol of ‘The Twins’, is considered to be the child of the zodiac. Just as his symbol, a Gemini person will always have two different sides to his changeable personality. He changes his mind too quickly, along with his clothes, his job, his love life or even his residence. Ruled by the planet Mercury, Gemini people tend to get bored too quickly and need new stimulating things every now and then. They seem to be surrounded by a nervous, crackling energy and mostly talk fluently and fast.

Lack of patience is one of the most distinguishing personality traits of Geminis. They especially get impatient with people who are either not ready to budge at all or those who are not able to make up their mind. A typical Gemini is very friendly and finds it extremely difficult to stick to anything for too long, whether it is a place or an idea. It is better not to enter into an argument with a Gemini. He can talk himself in and out of any situation very easily. Geminis always have a way with words and will, more often than not, emerge as the winner in an argument.

They are clever, sharp and intelligent, but may be extremely satirical at times. Most of the Geminis tend to look younger than their age. They are pretty light on their feet, being here one moment and somewhere else the next. They love to throw surprises, especially when they are in love. The duality of Geminis gives them the ability of doing two things at a time. However, routines bore them and make them feel imprisoned. Drudgery and monotony can easily put them off. Punctuality is not one of the Gemini characteristics.

A Gemini is late, more often than not, usually because something caught his interest on the way. He is extremely restless and is always in the search of some new excitement and change. He has this annoying habit of suggesting some ideas to others and then changing his mind about the same midway. Most of the people cannot save themselves from yielding to Gemini’s convincing arguments. A Gemini has this peculiar need of not revealing his true motives, making him the perfect candidate for politics.

He is also very much interested in writing, but about everything except himself. However, a Gemini hates to answer personal letters and tries to postpone it for as much time as he can. This stems from his reluctance to pin down his opinions, because he knows that he may not stick to them always. Commitment is something most of the Gemini people run away from. They also prefer to lead an idealist life, in which they try to stay as far away from lies as possible. However, they can be the perfect con artists if they want to be, without ever getting caught.

Since the brain of Gemini is always overworked, he needs more rest and sleep than the other. Highly imaginative, he is always on the look out for something more. The phrase ‘Grass is greener on the other side’ suits perfectly to a Gemini. He is always seeking the greener pasture, the brighter star and the bluer sky. He is multi-talented, has an exceptionally good sense of humor and is tactful and diplomatic. However, he does lack patience and persistence. Gemini will never tell his deepest feeling to anyone and gets bored too quickly.
Gemini Women

Marrying one Gemini woman is like living with two different wives. Confused? Don’t be, we are just talking about her dual personality. She has a dual nature and is capable of displaying different personality traits at different points of time. However, your major task will be to get her to commit. She is so fidgety that it becomes very difficult for her to become deeply involved with one person or place. The mind of a Gemini female never settles down at one place and her thoughts are always wandering.

However, if you do manage to blend with her at the mental, spiritual as well as physical level, you will be introduced to a woman full of passion. In her youth, she is least likely to be bounded by a relationship or commitment. She may love your most irritating habits one minute and be extremely sarcastic about your new stylish haircut the very next. Maturity may bring a little bit stability in her. All this doesn’t mean that Gemini women are not romantic at all. Infact, for them, romance is the one of the easiest means of communication.

Since they always have some thoughts to express, romance never goes out of their life. However, commitment is an entirely different term. A Gemini girl may love your intelligence, but she will also notice your lack of interest in creative arts. It is same the other way round too. Puzzled? You should be, at times, even she is baffled by her own complex nature. She is so vivacious and full of life that with her, you will forget even the deepest of troubles. She has the ability to light up the most somber of surroundings with her presence.

A Gemini woman will be full of the small, sentimental gestures that keep alive the romance in a relationship. She will always find new ways of telling you how much she loves you and will shower you with her alluring charm. She may act like a typical woman at one point of time, be a nervous wreck the other minute and engage in an intelligent conversation the very next second. She has the feminine charms, but she will never be clinging on to you. One thing that you will never find in a Gemini woman’s characteristics profile is monotony and boredom.

She finds something good in all the men she meets and then, wants a man who has all of those qualities. However, this can’t be and then, she keeps longing for that perfect man! She can be your best friend, your sports partner, your racing competitor and your lover, all at the same time. Just remember one thing, she is single-handedly giving you all this, so don’t expect consistency from her. A Gemini female can look at other guys, even when she is sincerely in love with you. Change is in her nature and she has to learn to control her own behavior. Just make sure to keep her interested in you and she will remain totally devoted.

She will never be suspicious of you and will expect the same from you in return. You may be out till 3 in the morning and she won’t even bat an eyelid. A Gemini girl will always respect your individuality and you will be required to do the same. She may forget to do the dishes every now and then, but you can have the most soul-satisfying conversations with her. She will keep your intellect as well as creativity stimulated. Motherhood will come naturally to her and she will make a happy and gay mother, who will respect the individuality of the children.

Gemini woman makes an excellent hostess and will charm the guests with her grace. They will be treated to the best of cuisine, that too in silver cutlery. She can easily get along with anyone, right from your boss to the peon of your office. With a Gemini wife, you will feel as if you are with a different woman every other day. When she wants to speak, she will speak and when she wants to fly, she will fly. You don’t know how she flies; just listen to her imagination and you will know. She is full of hopes, desires and dreams and you are welcome to share them. Just make sure that you are with her when she needs you!
Individuals born under the Gemini zodiac sign are usually quite polite, generous and of a jolly nature. They are blessed with a tall build, a big nose and beautiful hair. They have a brilliant mind and their intelligence gets easily reflected in the walk they talk and look. You will hardly find Geminis uttering words that are not pleasant to the ears. They are very clever, kind-hearted, frivolous and compassionate by nature. Material wealth comes easily to them and they never shy away from any kind of hard work.

Gemini individuals are very good at discussions and have a very subtle way with words. God-fearing people, they are more inclined towards business than service. Infact, it is the former one that helps them in attaining wealth as well as fame in life. However, they face a lot of hurdles while going up the ladder of success. They love the finer things in life, like arts, dance and music. You will hardly find Geminis wasting their money. They will not be stingy, but they will not squander their money either.
