Gemini Person

I've copied a section from a book I've had for 10 years about Gemini's, this is pretty much right for me except near the end where it says too alert to be moody, not sure what's happened recently, lol ;-)

This is the Sign of the Twin - represented by the mythological figures of Castor and Pollux - and it symbolizes a dual nature found in persons born under its influence.

Such persons are active, clever, skillful, versatile - and often totally unpredictable. They are always a jump ahead, not only of each other, but sometimes of themselves.

In fact, it has been said of Gemini folk that the one thing you can always expect from them is something unexpected. This is due both to their natural quickness and the twofold aspect of their nature.

Gemini persons are willing to try a hand at almost anything and drop it just as quickly. They pick up things easily, showing such natural talent towards acquiring skills that interest them, that they take for granted they can learn all there is to know about a subject in very little time.

Whatever they fail at, they dismiss as something not worth bothering about. Thus you find them dropping old projects as fast as they take up new ones.

A Quick Nature

Gemini persons make friends quickly and have a natural ability as salesmen. They are good talkers and come up with new ideas, sometimes borrowing them outright, though they often have plenty of ideas of their own.
It is simply that every new thing interests them, rouses their ingenuity and gives them the urge to put it to immediate and profitable use. They go for fads, hobbies and high honors, but often lose interest in them, once they have gained them.

The same applies to their friends. Never being at a loss for new, they neglect the old. But being both clever and practical, they are able to renew friendships or revive abandoned projects, in that same speedy, breathtaking fashion.

The old saying "Easy come, easy go," often applies to Gemini persons more than those of any other sign. They can make money hand over fist and squander it by literally throwing it away.

There are many born gamblers in the Gemini clan, all the result of these combined factors. They want fast results in the easiest possible way and at the same time are willing to forget a loss and go after a new win.

Extremes of Gemini

From this it can be said that Gemini persons are creatures of the moment, which they are; but that is often a strength more than a weakness. It marks them as great opportunists and in their keen, practical way, they may note something today and make it tomorrow's aim.

Definitely, the Gemini character is that of the extremist. As a result they can be tricky and deceitful; yet at the next moment go overboard in generosity.

All this goes with their active, restless natures. They are great travelers, always eager to be on the go, eager for adventure because their quick thinking makes them masters in emergencies. The modern world is truly made to their order, with its modes of swift travel, need for new inventions and so many varied types of enterprise available.

But such things can lead to gemini's undoing. People born under this sign need stability. They can't get it by stacking one thing against another or piling up interests helter-skelter, yet that is the way they usually try.

What to Avoid or Cultivate

In seeking new friends and interests, they yield to the rule "Out of sight, out of mind," as applied to others. The result is, the Gemini person often loses out in business and social affairs, through his own inconstancy and inconsistency.

This causes the Gemini nature to become both skeptical and suspicious. Their very aptitude for picking up where they left off, plus the fact that they have been so busy and active in the meantime, causes them to overlook the damage neglect can cause.

Gemini's urge to do things differently is another problem. People put up with it, but that doesn't mean they like it or endorse it. Often, a Gemini career becomes one of completely scattered effort and dissipated talents.

By focusing full attention upon worthy projects and carrying them through to completion, Gemini persons can gain great success and at the same time become the most satisfied persons on earth. Quick of wit as well as tact, they have an amazing ability at appraising people as well as situations almost at a glance.

That snap judgment seldom goes wrong in practical matters and the few opportunities they miss are more than compensated by their skilled avoidance of time wasters.. They get to the point of things immediately and are always finding short-cuts.

They recognize the importance of appearances and therefore keep up their own. They are good dressers, fond of show, fond of fun, always alert and too alive to go into deep or moody contemplation.

By controlling their remarkable flare, choosing the right associates and trusting them, Gemini persons can aim for the finer things in life and gain them with the same ease that they capture the caprices of the moment.

There was a little bit more in the book about differences between people born in the early and late parts of the sign which is right for me as well but got sick of typing it all!!
