Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac. Mercury rules Gemini. Mercury represents cleverness harvested in a subject. The glyph represents two woods jointly tied. In olden days, it was assumed that the problems occurring were mainly due to differing mental processes. Geminis found their connection with character and material objects and their balance was mainly due to their conflicting opinions. This relationship can be understood as the connection between form and rhythm.

It is tough to interpret what Geminis seem to be, as their nature is quite changing and innumerable. Gemini is known to be the most altering of the zodiac signs. Geminis are like chameleon, i.e. they may make a decision, or opinion and alter it immediately or after sometime. Geminis do not make decisions without a change and you cannot expect Geminis to make strong decisions. Geminis are really souls without any attachments, always curious with a wish to learn and perform. Usually, Geminis have many things at the same time, and they would sustain in spite of such commotions.

Geminis are quick-witted, amusing, and bright. Geminis absorb deeply in the tasks they do. Geminis are involved in lot of matters for doing and knowing and hence have lot of people for meeting. Geminis would like to touch on many matters at a time, and later get into them deeply with lots of interest. If something draws the interest of Geminis, they are involved completely. If not, Geminis have a missing feeling. Geminis always have an interest towards something that they are not involved in or people, they did not get a chance to meet. Geminis have intriguing feeling towards such matters.

Geminis are positive people. To the twins, everything is fascinating and fresh, as the manner they wish to be. Geminis are enthusiastic like kids. For a Gemini, usual is boring, which they do not allow. For a Gemini, life should be experienced to the complete possible, and a Gemini is completely restless with lot of intellect and imagination. For a Gemini, life is a game to be played with interesting people and with speedy movements. Gemini is good at analyzing matters with the enthusiasm of a sports person. Gemini possesses a forceful need to understand the reason for his/her experiences. One of the twins in Gemini would like to know the reason for the effects, basis, and inspirations behind every person or thing, they come across.

Another twin in the Gemini has the characteristics of creativity, cleverness and malleability. Gemini twins are symbol of mental strength. So, Geminis are logical and brilliant most of the time, with a great charm. Yet, it is essential to remember that symbol for Gemini is twins, and the twins are not the same. You would find broader discriminations within the characters of Gemini. To the contrary of the shining twin is the twin in the shadow. On the spur of the moment, Gemini may be moody, biting, short-tempered, distrustful, suspicious, mocking and sadistic. As both sides of the coin are inseparable, people born in this sign may be overwhelming and dazzling, or they can be irrational and inconsistent.

Probably, Geminis are good as friends and lovers. Geminis are amusing, and pleasant partners and ruse by love and not by everyday enjoyment. Also, it is important to remember, it is not easy to find what ruses Gemini. Once a Gemini gets accustomed to something, his/her interest would wear out thin, and he/she would start his/her investigation for newer interests. Geminis are inconsistent and indecisive, and this is not deliberate. That is the fundamental nature of a Gemini. According to a Gemini, life is too short to spend it seriously. As in life, even in love, the force of feelings is short-lived in a Gemini.
