communicative, adaptable, versatile, changeable
Gemini the Twins is a mutable sign, which means the sun passes through it as a season is ending and
shifting (the sun is in Gemini around May 21-June 20, as spring ends and summer begins in the northern
hemisphere). On top of this changeable energy, Gemini is also associated with the element air, which
gives it a dynamic, curious, and thoughtful quality. As such, it is the most unpredictable sign. Gemini
energy can be hard to pin down, but it is a generally open and communicative influence, changing if only
because it is so receptive to new ideas and information. Gemini is one of two signs traditionally ruled by
the planet Mercury (whether or not they are related in your personal birth chart), which makes Gemini
energy part of the over-thinkers club. But unlike the other Mercurial sign Virgo, Gemini energy
sometimes generates so many dynamic ideas that it has a hard time translating them into physical
reality. Houses or planets influenced by Gemini in the birth chart may be areas of life where you are
most able to adapt or evolve throughout your life, as you grow into and grow with your birth chart.
