Gemini begins the exploration of the intellect. Gemini, as the first air sign, initiates the discovery of the mind.
#Gemini twins how to
They must first learn how to use the mind and understand its many facets. The task of the air signs is to explore the workings of the mind and to become its master. The mind needs to be able to achieve stability, and at the same time freely interchange ideas within itself and with others.
#Gemini twins free
One of the challenges of the air signs is to master both the ability to concentrate and focus the mind and at the same time permit a free circulation of ideas and thoughts. Their goal is to develop the capacity to use thoughts to impact and transform, and to use the mind as a tool to integrate the psyche. The air signs aspire to intellectual creativity. It is the task of the air signs to tap and wisely use this divine potential of the rational mind. The mind thus holds an enormous creative potential. The mind gives us the power to conceive, to change and to communicate. The ideas and thoughts generated in the mind are the seeds for all manifestation. The air signs possess the quality of detachment, or the ability to dissociate from the emotions, and to separate ourselves from others. The fire signs experience and evaluate life through the intuition. The water signs experience and evaluate life through the emotions. The air signs have the capacity to be logical and objective. It is the gift and challenge of the air signs to develop this quality of our human beingness. The air signs give us this capacity and opportunity to distinguish ourselves from the rest of the animal kingdom. What distinguishes humans from other living beings is that humans have the capacity to analyze information and to be conscious of what the mind is actually doing. The rational mind is concerned with the human facility of exchange of information with others, and with the environment. The logical mind is the domain of the air signs. Gemini is the first of the three air signs. She summarizes some of the common characteristics of Gemini as unpredictable, restless and changeable observant, clever and curious too quick-tempered and destabilizing playful and talented funny and friendly". One of my favorite astrological writers has determined that the wind is the perfect mascot for Gemini. Gemini's mission is to demonstrate the relationship between the opposing pairs, and to facilitate an harmonious relationship between the two. Gemini's light always reveals polarization and an awareness of opposites. They represent opposing forces, the basic duality of the Universe and the relationship between form and spirit. The two straight lines symbolize beams of light. Gemini's astrological glyph is two straight parallel lines joined at each end with a curved line. There are two of Gemini - himself and his birth twin, from whom he is apparently separate. If a particular sign and element is noticeably absent we must develop or activate those qualities. If a particular sign is featured in our birth chart, we must learn how to work with those energies and align them for our highest good. Whether it is our Sun sign, the sign of one of the other planets, or the sign on the cusp of one of the twelve houses, we must deal with it in some way. We all have every astrological sign somewhere in our birth chart. Gemini embodies the Puer Aeternus archetype, which represents the spirit of the perennial adolescent - happy and bright but always in search of something missing. These include the search for eternal youth. Those born when Saturn was in Gemini from May 1942-June 1944 are even more affected by Gemini themes. We are both part of the Uranus-in-Gemini generation, which includes everyone born when Uranus was in the sign of Gemini from late 1941 through mid 1949. I have never been married and have no children. He is married with 3 children (2 of whom are Gemini's). He is an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond, Virginia. (He was also very sick.) I share the same astrological chart as my twin brother, but we live very different lives. My memories of him as a young child were that he tried to make others happy, but that he himself was very sad.

My maternal Gemini grandfather was a clown in the major circuses in the early 1900's. I have personally found my study of Gemini fascinating. There are so many different ways that each sign can bring more meaning into our lives. Issue #18, May 27th, 2000 Evolutionary Astrology Gemini - My Inner Child is my Twin Soul by Guru Rattana, Ph.D.
