Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac and is symbolized by the twins and learning language. Gemini is the communicator. They are adaptable and versatile. Gemini demonstrates the gift of conversation, and they always find something to say.
They are always on the go, busy, active and full of movement. This includes their hands, mouth, and feet. They are constantly on the move as if they have an internal motor, and it is always on.

They are interested in what you think. This includes your thoughts, ideas and opinions, and they love and appreciate exchanging ideas with others. Relaxation to a Gemini is daydreaming about an idea or using their hands to create something. They love to play “the devil’s advocate,” by taking the opposing view, not necessarily because they believe the opposing view. They will do this to stimulate the discussion and to explore all sides of an argument. By taking this position they gain empirical knowledge. Gemini seeks knowledge from experience and the oral traditions of telling and passing on the story. It’s all about the narrative with Gemini.

Gemini is the first air sign in the zodiac. It is mutable, meaning they mediate change and change their modes of expression frequently. This makes them effective with all types of communication.

Their main role is to gather information and send it out to the world as quick and efficiently as possible.
Gemini’s love of phones, computers and all communication methods is a key factor to understanding them. Gemini without a phone, email or social media will feel lost! They also love their vehicle. If Gemini is unable to drive, they will be an expert on public transport or they will spend a lot of money uber. They certainly do not sit at home waiting for a call, text or visitor. Gemini head out into the world for some interaction with others. Although in this modern world, with advances in technology, it is now possible to connect and exchange ideas with others anywhere, near and far, anytime…One only needs WIFI.
