Gemini: 22 May – 21 June. This is the sign of mental versatility. Gemini drives people to keep searching and to seek out new things in many different fields. Those born with the Sun in Gemini are very active and usually highly responsive to outside stimuli. They tend to have a broad general education rather than detailed specialist knowledge. They are very changeable and get bored quickly. A strong streak of changeability and a desire to be free runs through them.
They express themselves and debate with great ease, and they make contacts effortlessly. They rarely reveal their own point of view, and do so only once they have thoroughly understood the other person’s opinions.
An Ascendant together with the Sun in Gemini emphasises the positive side of the character. These are outstanding people who usually stand out in social life.
They swing between enthusiasm, complete contentment and optimism, and then back to sadness and pessimism.
They are original and creative, and they are the intellectual leaders of their circles. They have many friends and acquaintances, because they make a pleasant impression and are well liked.
- Element – air

- Polarity – positive

This is an active sign that revolves around variety and change. It is energetic, highly expressive and always searching.
Geminis are mentally agile and intelligent. The negative traits of the sign are inconsistency, changeability and impatience.
Zodiac horoscope for Gemini
Gemini, you have great intellectual potential. You think fast and are interested in many things at once. You can also be tiring, Gemini, and changeable in the way you behave.
The Sun enters your sign on 22 May and rules this stretch of the sky until 21 June.
The constellation of Gemini contains two first-magnitude stars. They are called Castor and Pollux, after the divine twins known as the Dioscuri.
They were the sons of the mortal Leda, whom Zeus seduced in the form of a swan. As a result Leda laid an egg, from which hatched twin boys and a girl, Helen.
Gemini belongs to the Air trine. Astrologers held that the nature of Gemini acts most strongly on children born in the morning and around midday, when their nature is positive and active.
The first decan of Gemini
The first decan of Gemini (22 May – 1 June) is ruled by Jupiter. Politicians, scholars, famous poets – and some exceptional swindlers – have been born in this decan.
People born in this decan are said to have better concentration than other Geminis. They also have a great intellect and are sincere and loyal. Their biggest flaw is a lack of firmness and sufficient focus.
The second decan of Gemini
This decan belongs to Mars and runs from 2 to 11 June. The planet makes people inconstant and inclines them to extravagance and a lack of discipline, but it also gives intellectual ability and determination in the search for fascinating new challenges.
Astrologers saw special artistic talent in these people. They like a comfortable life, but they often run into misunderstandings and trouble. They are fairly sensible, although at times they can be too aggressive.
The third decan of Gemini
The third decan of Gemini (12–21 June) falls under the sign of the Sun. People born in this decan generally enjoy good planetary influences. They usually have more luck than sense. They have a good capacity for concentration. They need to watch out for the dark side of their personality, as it may cause them trouble.
According to other astrological traditions, the three decans of Gemini were ruled in turn by Neptune, Mars and the Sun.
Neptune gave them intuition, intellectual power and adaptability. Mars gave them a head for business, and the Sun gave ambition and rationality, but also self-centredness.
- The Gemini psyche
Geminis often find it hard to concentrate long enough to make the right decision.
There are two distinct types of temperament among Geminis. The first type is interested in anything that stirs up emotion. He keeps changing his interests and his opinions. He enjoys a game of appearances and is fascinated by anything strange.
Sometimes he likes to lie, simply to avoid making problems for himself.
The second type of Gemini is skilled at playing on two fronts. He can be a cool opportunist, always intelligent and adroit, but deep down he is a sceptic.
To live in harmony with themselves, Geminis must respect both sides of their inner nature. Without that balance they will suffer sudden mood swings.
Geminis are extremely restless, so they are not afraid of change or frequent travel.
They adapt easily to new places and new people.
They can change jobs as often as they change gloves. The quick-witted Gemini seizes an opportunity and never lets anyone else have it. He is cultured, worldly and well educated, with interesting views on life.
He knows how to shine in company. His sense of humour is captivating, and at times disconcerting, backed by irony and a sharp critical sense.
He can be a good and demanding leader or boss, but he is no tyrant. He manipulates his opponents using personal charm, a gift for persuasion and rational thinking.
He can intuitively think ahead of both his own moves and his opponent’s. He is very good at it.
He is not attached to material things and loves independence and freedom.
The Gemini should, however, give up risky gestures, odd poses, the endless game-playing and running away. He suddenly withdraws from the stage to busy himself with other matters and focuses on nothing. That is how it can be with Gemini.
The best metals, stones, colours and diet for Gemini
Every planet has a metal that represents it. For Mercury it is quicksilver (mercury), and also gold. People were once very afraid of mercury, calling it “the spittle of silver” or “the scum of silver”.
People were also warned against coming into contact with this metal. Only later did Paracelsus introduce it into medicine.
In Polish, mercury was called “living silver” (zywe srebro) or Merkuriusz – a name that refers to Mercury, the planet that rules Gemini.
Gold can also be very helpful to Geminis, so it is worth carrying something gold with you.
Geminis have many stones at their disposal that serve as talismans. They should look to agates, the stones the Babylonians carved into amulets to distract an enemy’s attention. They may also choose one of the two varieties of chrysoberyl: cat’s eye, also called cymophane, or alexandrite.
This stone protects against evil and brings luck in games of chance.
Magnetite, a natural iron ore dedicated to Mercury, attracts love.
Black hematite supports the liver and lungs.
Pearl, meanwhile, is an excellent guardian of both the Gemini’s mental and physical health. The lucky colour for Gemini is grey.
Lucky numbers for Gemini are 3, 13 and 33
The important day is Mercury’s day, Wednesday, while the unlucky day is Thursday.
Scents: iris, lavender, violet, rosemary, mint and acacia
Plants: verbena, lemon balm, coffee, tea, scabious, mint, bindweed, hazel and forget-me-not.
Gemini in astrology
Gemini is assigned the element of air. Its month is June, the time that heralds the true end of spring. Lush greenery is everywhere, and flowers and trees are in bloom.
The air is fresh, the earth is blossoming, and Geminis feel this transformation keenly. This is when they spin a thousand plans.
At this time Geminis are full of warm, friendly feelings and ready to share the experiences of family and friends.
Thanks to their instinctive nature, Geminis see a great deal at this time. December, when the nights are longest, is the worst time for Gemini. Winter takes over the world, and Geminis cannot bear it.
Gemini
It was believed that Geminis had the power to prolong human life. In the zodiac Gemini is one of the mutable signs, so it gives its children an inconstant and changeable disposition. They can show a reluctance to deepen their knowledge, although true intellectuals do sometimes appear among them.
At times they suffer from nagging spiritual unrest and an inability to concentrate enough.

The Gemini zodiac sign
Geminis tend to be highly strung, overtired and prone to colds. For this reason, the best advice for their wellbeing is to avoid an overly hectic lifestyle.
Particularly sensitive areas for Gemini are the shoulders, arms, lungs and nervous system.
Geminis enjoy fine cuisine. They like tropical fruit; they should avoid heavy, hard-to-digest dishes, fats and sauces and focus on salads.
In diet and healing it is worth remembering the plants associated with Mercury, such as dill, parsley, walnut, valerian, senna leaf and liquorice.
- GEMINI FRIENDSHIP HOROSCOPE: Gemini as a friend
Gemini is everyone’s dream friend: open, cheerful and well liked. Gemini values a friend’s intellectual qualities and is drawn to those who can keep up intellectual games and endless discussions.
Geminis can liven up an evening with friends and keep the whole party entertained. They are not, however, good confidants, because they sometimes let something slip without meaning to.
Geminis explain this away by saying that every secret would come out sooner or later anyway. They make a great many new acquaintances and quickly widen their circle.
Do not expect too much help from a Gemini, though: they know so many people that they simply cannot keep up with all the requests.
Geminis do not tie themselves to the same friends for life; they like to change them. In this respect the Gemini is inconstant, often absent-minded, and leads a stormy life, relishing new relationships.
- GEMINI SEDUCTION: the Gemini gift for charm
Geminis like to be admired. This does not come from calculation, nor does it mean they struggle to find a steady partner. Geminis see seduction as an art. They know how to win hearts without ever seeming pushy.
They flirt the way they talk: deftly and with ease.
They can set any heart alight, even a cold one.
The Gemini man is a superb organiser of parties and great fun. His gaze and his voice keep their youthful freshness and optimism for a long time.
The Gemini woman is seen as a coquette, sometimes even a femme fatale, because she is charming, elegant and stylish. Her friends admire her originality and wit.
A woman who wants to win a Gemini man should catch his attention by being different, surprising him rather than boring him.
She should be intelligent, sparkling and steady, yet seem unpredictable, and she should know how to listen to him. She must also let him know that he will never find another woman as original as she is.
To seduce a Gemini woman, you have to fight for her like a fairy-tale princess and treat her with reverence and devotion. She should be the one playing first fiddle.
Signs compatible with Gemini
How do you win a Gemini man? He loves freedom above all else and often flits from flower to flower in search of new sensations – but only for a while. Eventually such a man will feel the urge to settle down.
To win a partner of this sign, you need plenty of patience and a well-thought-out strategy.
Every woman should know that fidelity is not exactly his strong point. There is no point in jealous scenes, because they will not change anything.
A woman should be understanding with him and take good care of the home. Then the Gemini man can be noble and protective.
The Gemini woman is very sensitive and often complicates her life over simple things. She can be impulsive, excitable and anxious, although by nature she is kind and well disposed towards others.
She is said to rarely arouse wild passion in a man. In the long run, though, she is an excellent partner who will not let hers down even in awkward situations.
She feels best with a caring partner who looks after his wife’s health and the household’s material comfort. She can sometimes be talkative and nosy.
Gemini, Libra and Aquarius belong to the air element. This trine is associated with slightly unpredictable people – you never know how they will react in a given situation.
Even so, these signs should join together both in friendship and in marriage.
They are active people who need to feel needed. They like working for the common good and, above all, they are good at it.
A Gemini who takes a Libra as a partner can expect fair judgements from them. Librans are artistically gifted, careful, hard-working and balanced, and at the same time affectionate and tender.
The Libra woman is the embodiment of intelligence, grace and subtlety. The Libra man is a happy person, but of changeable character.
He very much likes the fairer sex, but it is hard to keep him for long, and extraordinarily hard to lead him to the altar.
Librans have their own way of dealing with people. They cannot stand rudeness and arrogance, and they do not like conflict.
Being with an Aquarius makes for a happy life. The positive traits of Aquarians are warmth, curiosity, tolerance, courtesy, broad horizons and the ability to get along with people.
By example, Aquarius inspires Gemini to take action. He is a sincere, loyal and devoted partner. In marriage, the Aquarius husband is an incorrigible optimist who wants to make not only himself but also his family happy.
The Aquarius wife is a very enigmatic woman with an individual approach to life. Aquarius women have a great deal of charm, run the home skilfully and make good mothers.
Modern astrologers believe that Geminis can form happy relationships with Leos and Aries.
In addition, the Gemini woman should not marry a man younger than herself, as she may be unhappy.
Geminis also need to be careful about relationships with Virgo, Pisces or Sagittarius, as these will not always guarantee happiness.
- GEMINI SENSUALITY: the sensual Gemini
Geminis of both sexes savour love like a fine chocolate they keep saving for later. That is why some people get the impression that Geminis are constantly in love, starting one new flirtation after another as they try to build a lasting relationship.
They make light of romantic rapture, and unbridled desire is foreign to them. A Gemini’s partners can only join in the game and enjoy it. Geminis want a little spice, excitement and variety. They neither ask for nor expect anything more.
When fate lets a Gemini meet the one they love, the tendency towards fleeting romances battles inside them with the dream of a spiritual bond and perfect understanding.
The Gemini woman should have a man who plays hard to get. The man with the best chance of winning her heart is indifferent and a little cool. Gemini women are always seeking restlessness and endless movement. They play the part of a passionate woman while masking themselves perfectly.
They love to turn men’s heads, winning them over while giving nothing in return. The Gemini woman finds it hard to make a decision and risk limiting her freedom. She is afraid of making the wrong choice and missing out on true love.
The Gemini man is not really inclined towards lasting relationships; he prefers casual love affairs.
He adores the women he is with and showers them with gifts. The Gemini man satisfies his own sexual needs but also those of his chosen one, who is always left content.
He does not let passion rule him and keeps full self-control.
- Gemini in love
Gemini’s patron here is Venus, patron of refined pleasure, inconstancy and infidelity. That is why Geminis find it hard to understand that one great love could fill their lives. They tirelessly search for their other half, someone who would complete their personality like the missing piece of a puzzle.
Geminis adore love games, flirting and no-strings fun. Secretly they long for passionate love and refined caresses, and sometimes they rush towards pleasure regardless of anything.
People often say Geminis are far too carefree. They simply want to try everything, whatever the risk.
Infidelity is second nature to Geminis, but they do not feel guilty about it. Their relationships follow one after another because Geminis fear the suffering they might cause everyone involved.
They do not cheat in the strict sense of the word; they simply flit from flower to flower.
They consider the physical side of love less important than the spiritual side.
The best match for a Gemini is a relationship with Aries or Leo.
The Gemini woman can be capricious and eccentric. Her insatiable curiosity and her detachment protect her from committing to a relationship too quickly.
She likes surprise and novelty and dislikes routine, so she is always on the alert and the first to pounce on her prey. Fidelity is not her strongest point.
The Gemini man rarely stays in one relationship. He has many flirtations, which fill him with pride and satisfy his needs. He sometimes confuses love with desire. The Gemini man often talks a lot but does rather less. You have great intellectual potential. You think fast and are interested in many things at once. You can also be tiring, Gemini, and changeable in the way you behave.
Gemini belongs to the Air trine. Astrologers held that the nature of Gemini acts most strongly on children born in the morning and around midday, when their nature is positive and active.
