Gemini is a mutable air sign
The air element is associated with being social, intellect, mind, intelligence, and movability.
The mutable modality is associated with changes, flexibility, and adaptability.
As Gemini is a mutable air sign, the movability, changeability, and spontaneity are amplified.
Mutable signs come before the cardigan sign, before the cardinal change. Mutable means to change, to quickly adapt, and to improve something.
The seasons begin with a cardinal sign- cardinal change- then a fixed sign comes – when the weather or the season is the same, and at the end of the season comes the mutable sign, which carries both the current season and the coming season. (I hope it makes sense.)
Cardinal means to initiate something, fixed means to persevere, do, and follow through, while mutability means to upgrade it, to make it better.
Gemini Zodiac Sign is said to be the toddler of the Zodiac, that learns to walk and talk, and ask questions. It sees everything for the first time, hence curious, and observes every object around them.
It is symbolized by twins.
There is a misconception that Gemini people are two-faced because their symbol is the twins. Or they have two personalities. Well, this is not entirely wrong, but a bit far from the truth.
One must go a bit deeper to understand the essence of Gemini. Gemini is all about experimenting, being curious, asking questions, and being inconsistent, just like a toddler.
And that changeability– mutable air sign- might make Gemini people change their opinions, their minds, their behavior, etc.
Moreover, both the Sun- consistency, the most consistent celestial body- and Jupiter- morals- are weak in Gemini.
Gemini and duality
Wherever you have Gemini in your natal chart, it “gives more than one” of something. As the twins are more than one.
Well, that more than one, can be three or more. Gemini in the 2nd house for instance can make several streams of income.
Mercury the ruling planet
In ancient mythology, Mercury was the messenger and mediator between gods and people. It delivered and translated the messages. (That is the reason astrology is said to be ruled by Mercury because astrology translates the language of gods to a common language.)
It rules the sign Virgo too. In Gemini, Mercury collects information and data. Its social side is more emphasized, the communication, making connections, making business deals, etc. In Virgo, it organizes all the information as stored knowledge.
Mercury is the friend of Venus and Saturn. And the enemy of the Sun, Mars, and Jupiter.
Gemini in the 1st house and Communication
One of the main domains of Gemini is communication of all sorts. Talking, writing, sending emails and texts, publishing articles, editing videos, and posting on social media. Anything that is connected to sharing messages and ideas is Gemini-ruled.
If you have Gemini on the 1st house cusp it means being social, and socializing, and some play a major role in your life. And also, your life rotates around some form of communication. It can be from writing for a living, being a blogger, or vlogger, or your occupation rotates around communication, advertising, social media, and connecting to people, and connecting people to each other.
Gemini in the 1st house and Skills
The other main domain of Gemini is the skills, especially any skills with the hands. This Zodiac sign rules the hands and fingers.
If you have Gemini on the 1st house cusp it means you probably have several skills. It can be anything from communication, business, teaching, and any skills that require doing something with hands. Such as fixing a car, making makeup, etc.
As Gemini people are always curious and lifelong learners, they acquire new skills constantly. They are truly versatile and all-rounder people. Jack of all trades, however, if they make the effort they can be masters of some trades.
Experimenting is their strong suit. Given their always curious nature, and their excitability to constantly learn something new, they are eager to experiment with anything they can put their hands on. Gemini is associated with collecting information and data. And one of the ways to do so is to experiment.
Gemini doesn’t only rule the hands and fingers, it rules the mind and the lungs too.
That is the reason Gemini people have such a busy mind, always coming up with new thoughts.
Being playful and lighthearted
Being playful, lighthearted, and not taking anything too seriously is another strong suit of theirs. They are like a toddler who sees the world with curiosity and are able to play with anything, anytime.
The shadow side of Gemini is to be a player- so to speak- as an adult. There is a fine line between being playful and being a player…
My personal advice for Gemini people is they can truly be intelligent, fun to be around, multitalented, etc., and experimenting is a great way to collect information of all sorts. Still, people should not be subject to experimentation… To put it this way, people have emotions and a beating heart that is not meant to break, mind you…
Appearance of Gemini people
If you have Gemini in your first house, you have a youthful appearance even at an old age. That youthful appearance is due to the quick movability, the freshness you exude, the always curiousness, and the eagerness to learn something new. There is an easy-goingness, and easily approachable energy around you, and lightness. Most Gemini people are fun to be around, that playful and not serious attitude can feel like a breath of fresh air.
Most Gemini people have small facial features, small eyes, and lips.
According to my observation, Gemini Ascendant people have remarkable noses.
The body parts and organs Gemini is associated with are the mind, lungs, arms, hands, and fingers.
Careers ruled by Gemini
Politician, writer of all sorts, public speaker, teacher of all sorts, media, comedian, actor, actress, singer, businessperson, agent, mechanic, manager, anything to do with marketing, social media, advertising.
