Gemini, the 3rd sign of the zodiac, is a dual air sign. It is the message-bearer, the communicator and - like the wind that blows everywhere - the principle of Gemini is to explore inquisitively, gathering seeds of ideas, spinning the windmills of the mind, capturing information, moving quickly in and out of different social situations, and enjoying the exchange of ideas with others.

One side of Gemini is happier to stay on the surface and chat, or use it's swift intellect to make sense of the world, which it loves to move around in discovering new facts. It loves connecting it's ideas and feelings to language or through another medium of expression and gives voice, often cleverly and creatively, through words, the arts or technology.

The other face of Gemini is more inward-looking. This is the aspect few rarely see where the air gets stuck and stagnant and the Geminian feels trapped and turns in on itself and may get depressed. Being an innately extravert sign Gemini is happiest when bouncing ideas off others as it spends most of it's day using it's mind to gather information and comparing contrasting environments.

Overall, Gemini is the quick-witted go-between transporting people, cargoes or stories between one place and another, or being the agent for ideas, information or advice. They can be indecisive and two-faced looking in two different directions at once and others may find them unreliable or fickle.
Geminis' planet is the winged messenger Mercury, it's metal is quick-silver, body parts are the hands, arms, lungs and nervous system. Geminians need relaxing pastimes which slow the mind to avoid stress.

They are good in a career which allows them to flit from one place to another physically or mentally so as to engage with the diversity of life. Their communication skills can be applied through education or various media as their versatile nature likes to experience variety.
