Gemstone***Two:  agate and the alexandrite

     Gemini, the twin sign, is light as air and mutable. It is the sign of dual personality, more so than any other sign of the zodiac. This native has two distinct natures. They blow hot and cold, are with you or  not with you, or they are sunshine or showers. All of these variable dispositions are found in this sign more so than any other. You will find some "good Dr Jekyll, to evil  Mr. Hyde" under this sign.

     At best, they are many-faceted people, sparkling and brilliant. Ruled by Mercury, the fleet-footed messenger of the Gods, they are great communicators. The Gemini mind is impersonal, and never guided in decisions by emotions, or even qualities of right or wrong. They can think problems out for other people, for their approach is always rational, though cold. Mercury makes them very capable people. They can turn a hand on anything and do it well. They have a professional touch, and are nimble-fingered, skillful and adroit. They move quickly and gracefully and are impatient with  anything but high speed.

      More often Gemini people are found in the legal profession, or writing for newspapers. You will also find many in the fields of electronics, radio mechanics, engineers, and dentists. They make excellent certified public accountants. Many financial manipulators come from this sign and some have ended up as fraudulent schemers.

     The natives of this sign are socially in demand. They appear gay and charming even though within themselves they  are not at all interested. They always appear sociable, and really add to the success of any group. They are witty and poised and highly stimulated by society. They are usually well informed and apparently have plenty of information on  any subject mentioned. This is not always true, but Gemini thinks so quickly and speaks so fluently that a very superficial knowledge goes a long way. A Gemini with a Mercury in an earth sign (Taurus, Capricorn, and Virgo) would not be able to think and respond that quickly as the thinking processes are slow in these signs. Though Gemini people enjoy social popularity, they are often sharp-tongued and gossiping. They can spread a rumor faster than anybody and sometimes this causes them to get in "trouble". Gemini is often called the "trickster" and their schemes are impressive (as along as you are not  a part of it!).

     Gemini people are often good looking in a clear-featured smart way. Their mien is animated and  wide-awake, expressive of  great intelligence. They are however, exceedingly nervous, impatient and variable in manner and mood.

     The health of Gemini natives is usually excellent. With excessive strain, the lungs might be affected, as they are sensitive in Gemini. Gemini rules the hands and arms as well as the upper respiratory system, the nerves, and the part of the brain controlling higher thought processes.  They are clever with their hands and like to use them a lot. They seldom contract illnesses and maintain a remarkably even grade of health. A Gemini personality remains youthful and young all through their  life. They just never "grow up" in the way demanded by society. In Gemini, "the boy", is forever present.

     In love and marriage, Gemini men have the contrast of mild affections and sensual passions. As a lover, the native is arch, flirtatious, teasing and boyish. He is seldom vitally interested and even when he is attracted, another personality can quickly charm him. "Fickleness" is very much a part of the Gemini personality. He fares better as a husband. Home ties do mean something to him, especially if he marries an intellectual companion. The one thing that a Gemini man will not tolerate is a nagging, demanding, possessive type of woman. When  Gemini men have overbearing wives, they often leave home. He is temperamentally unfit to endure constant pressure. A Gemini person  may have a superficial attitude toward their  relationship with  relatives or spouse. He is ruled by the mind (Mercury) and unless other influences in his horoscope contradict this, the emotions  are somewhat shallow. He tends to be a flirt, but this is part of his nature and should not be taken seriously. His experience of love is rarely deep.

     Gemini women are exceedingly refined. The disposition is sunny, the mind active and agile, and the manner in society poised and charming. They are attractive to wealthy men who wish to have wives who suggest class and appear well bred.

    The "negative type" of Gemini has a tendency to do a lot of things haphazardly and nothing especially well. They fritter away their time instead of  concentrating their energy sufficiently to achieve excellence or success. They become restless, unable to stick to any regular or repetitious occupation for long.

     The "positive type" of Gemini displays much masculine force and initiative. They have definite views, have a variety of talents and make excellent managers and executives. They are as firm and dependable as the negative type is irresolute and irresponsible.

     A Gemini native requires more variety and change than other people. They need frequent vacations, and love to travel to many different places. They tend to work much more efficiently  if there are changes in their schedules and breaks in their routines. They are adaptable to different people, situations and environments.

   People with moon in Gemini are very sympathetic to Geminis, plus Libras (September 23 to October 23), and Aquarius (January 20 to February 19). Sagittarius (opposite sign) is complementary in some way, but Geminis might find them excessively jovial.
