Gemini is highly volatile, active and fast changing energy. It is mutable (changeable) air, so it has a need for stimulation and movement. Gemini is all about communication – taking in and sharing as many ideas and perspectives as possible. This is very social and communicative energy.

Gemini has a desire to spread out and cover a lot of ground. It is exploratory, transient and a bit overactive. The beauty in Gemini energy is in its ability to synthesize information, details and people. Gemini is the bee that collects pollen from multiple flowers, brings it back to the hive and creates a delicious one-of-kind honey variety.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, which is also concerned with communication and the mind. This energy has the ability to talk with or befriend anyone, although the connection is not likely to run very deep with most. Gemini is characterized by the twins, which speaks to its ability to shapeshift and divide itself so that it can take in a diverse array of experiences. This can come across as being fickle, flighty, phony or two-faced; but this is part of the function of Gemini’s energy – to know a little about how a lot of things (or people) work and then determine what to do with all of that information.

Gemini sees all the possibilities – all at once, and can become paralyzed by too many choices.

Gemini represents your need for stimulation. The house that Gemini rules in your chart and the house Mercury sits in your chart can clue you into where you have the highest expression of these qualities or where you need to further develop them. The planets in Gemini in your chart are being invited to embody these qualities. Mercury does well in Gemini; however Jupiter is greatly challenged here.
