More About Gemini
WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS A GEMINI?
Geminis are very intelligent and pick up knowledge quickly. They are perceptive, analytical, and often very funny. They have an unreserved and childlike curiosity, always asking new questions.
Geminis have an uncanny ability to size up a person’s character in a matter of seconds, even if they only just met them. If someone’s bluffing, they’ll be the first to notice. They are great communicators, very responsive and sensitive listeners.
Geminis are versatile, comfortable being both introverts and extroverts. They are quick to adapt to the energy of a room. They can be the life of the party or a complete wallflower. They know how to bring dissimilar people together and make them get along.
WHAT ARE GEMINIS AFRAID OF?
Geminis are afraid of being alone. This is why they tend to have large social circles and always have a companion. They’re afraid of being trapped in their own minds. It’s not that Gemini aren’t creative or intelligent, it’s that they’re afraid of the power of their own imagination. They’re afraid of what they’ll find once they finally find themselves.
They’re not afraid of their emotions, but they’re constantly worried about how they convey them, about their words being misconstrued, about unintentionally hurting someone’s feelings. This is a frequent misfortune of Geminis, and a result of how they externalize their insecurities. They’re afraid of getting caught up in an emotion that they can’t control. They simply react to their emotions, rather than feel them.
Their mind is an endless race track. They’re constantly scanning under the surface of their current reality for something that they haven’t seen before. They’re not in a rush to get anywhere, they’re just looking for something new.
Perhaps the most important thing a Gemini needs to realize is that there is no final destination to be found at the end of the road. They can’t run forever. At some point they’re going to have to stop and look around. To take responsibility for the environment they find themselves in. They’re going to have to look at the world that they’ve built for themselves and decide if it’s really what they want.
WHAT DO GEMINIS LOOK LIKE?
Gemini people are very intelligent and their faces are very expressive. Their movements tend to be quick and dynamic. Their eyes are almost always two different colors, because they’re really just a patchwork of different selves pasted together to form a solid identity. They try to present themselves as airtight entities, a permanent vessel to hold all their contradictions, but their apparition will always be at odds with itself.
Gemini in Love, Sex and Romance
This is most relevant to Gemini Venus and Mars, though Gemini Suns may identify with some traits.
HOW TO SEDUCE A GEMINI
- Leave a note in their jacket pocket saying “I’m into you.” Don’t sign it: they’ll figure it out.
- Write your own horoscope, with special references to them, and slyly place it where they can catch a glimpse.
- Make a playlist for each of their moods, divided into sections like “Happy,” “Jubilant,” “Interested,” and “Bored.”
DO GEMINIS FALL IN LOVE FAST?
For the most part, Geminis fall in love fast. They are captivated by the glittering reflections of themselves that they see in other people. They are naturally curious about people who don’t quite fit into a tidy world of black and white. They’re easily seduced, flighty, and unpredictable. Geminis are driven by a fundamental curiosity about who other people are, and who they might be around them.
They can be equally quick to fall out of love. Sometimes they’re so quick to abandon ship that they end up having multiple relationships in a short period of time, usually with different people. They are easily bored, and they often start relationships with the intention of having fun, rather than actually wanting to get involved with someone.
HOW DO GEMINIS BREAK UP?
Gemini breakups are messy. It’s really hard for them to even admit that they’re in a relationship in the first place. They have a lot of trouble making emotional commitments because their sense of self is easily dissolved. Because of their dual nature, Gemini are incredibly indecisive about even the simplest of matters. They vacillate. They hedge. And they generally just avoid making decisions. This is why Geminis are notorious for not being able to end their relationships. It’s just too awkward.
When a Gemini does decide to call things off, they won’t do it directly. Instead, they’ll get their partner to confront them first. They’ll give their partner a reason to break up with them. Then they’ll act like a victim who had no control over the situation. It will be as if they were passive observers, rather than active participants. They’ll throw up their arms and go, “What can you do? Relationships are so complicated!”
WHO IS GEMINI’S SOULMATE?
Gemini’s soulmate is someone who can help them sort through the chaos of their feelings. They need someone who can help them see the more stable side to their personality. Someone who can help them make sense of their life.
They want to be accepted. They want to be understood. They want to be loved. They’re looking for someone who can appreciate their duality and can understand the duality of their shared experience. They’re looking for a partner who can appreciate the complexity of their thoughts and actions and can understand where their life is going.
A Gemini’s soulmate will stimulate their mind and challenge them intellectually. Their partner must be able to keep up with them verbally and be able to communicate without getting too emotional. Someone who can talk to them on an abstract level as well as a physical level. A Gemini’s ideal soulmate is someone who loves to break away from the mundane and follow their instincts. At the end of the day, a Gemini needs someone who can keep up with their mental and physical moods.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN A GEMINI SAYS I LOVE YOU?
When a Gemini says: “I love you” they are saying that the moment is perfect. The words are an attempt to capture the moment, to preserve it in amber, to hang it from the rafters of their mind so they can return to it over and over again. They are not saying that they will love you forever, but in this moment they do.
A Gemini’s love has to feel new. They’ll always have the spark of fascination in their eyes when they look at their partner. They are always discovering new things about themselves and their partner. There is no stagnant love with Gemini. There’s a perpetual sense of discovery.
If you fall in love with a Gemini, you are not falling in love with a single person. You are falling in love with the idea of love and the thrill of romance. A love that exists in the ephemeral moment, before the Gemini changes direction. And ultimately, you are falling in love with yourself.
Geminis in Friendship
WHAT ARE GEMINIS LIKE AS FRIENDS?
Geminis make friends everywhere they go. They have the ability to talk to almost anyone about every little thing that’s on their minds. They’re the types of friends who will show up to your party an hour late, but will end up staying for hours.
Geminis can be very entertaining to be around. Their way with words can hypnotize you into momentary bliss. Seek them out when you’re looking to have the kinds of experiences to write novels about, or if you’re just looking to live vicariously through stories of their own novel-worthy experiences.
They’re not always the most reliable. Deep emotional engagement can make them restless and impatient. Go to them for the unsparing, unvarnished truth. They’re great with comebacks, which is extremely important in the ruthless reality of friendship.
HOW DO GEMINIS FIGHT?
Geminis fight like they talk—with a stream-of-consciousness barrage of arguments and witticisms. They are masters of the ad hominem and will use your own words against you. They’ll make a point, contradict themselves, make another, contradict themselves again, and then somehow end up talking about your mother.
Geminis are defenders of discord. Anything that stifles the free flow of information is seen as an enemy and worthy of destruction. Geminis are the first to start a fight and the last to stop. They will relentlessly attack until the other party is physically incapable of fighting back, even if it means self-deprecation. Geminis are merciless. But because of their lack of physical stamina, they have to rely on strategic attacks.
Deep down Geminis don’t even really want to fight. They would rather find some obscure way to cooperate with you, even if it’s just pretending to be mad at you, so that they feel justified in dropping the subject. They tend to be pretty passive aggressive. They’ll let you know how they feel about you in a thousand different subtle ways, but they will never just walk up to you and tell you how you really made them feel.
HOW DANGEROUS IS A GEMINI?
Geminis are dangerous because they seem to exist in a perpetual state of internal conflict. They’re like a pool of water. Still on the surface, but below, the water is roiling and churning with turbulent waves. Geminis will always be fighting a battle between their rational and irrational sides. One moment they’re speaking like a sober doctor, the next they’re like a street corner preacher with all the zeal and passion of a revivalist.
Geminis are elusive. They have a knack for slipping out of any situation that makes them feel uncomfortable. They avoid facing anything that poses a challenge, because their charm is their only weapon. They’re quick thinkers and can talk themselves into or out of almost anything. They’re a little bit of a hustler, but mostly they’re just an observer. They’re never the main event of a situation, unless they’ve calculated the odds and decided it’s worth their while. They’re the type to ride a wave of someone else’s energy. They can make something out of nothing, but they can also just as easily make nothing out of something.
