As we review our Aromatic Astrology, we see that Gemini is the third sign of the Zodiac and has the archetypes of the Witness, the Teacher, the Storyteller and the Journalist.
Gemini talks and Gemini listens. They scan for clues, for meaningful gestures, for half-hidden innuendos. Nothing escapes them, no detail is too small, no trail too cold. Communication is a major keyword for Gemini and while speaking and listening are key issues for Gemini, one needs to go deeper to the concept of perception. Gemini is born to perceive. They must remain in motion all the time as there is so much to see and know, and there isn’t a minute to waste. Gemini is the journalist rather than the philosopher. The end point for Gemini is to unravel the secret of the world, gather all the clues and see everything. An impossible task. So, they need to live as intense and varied a life as possible. Predictability and boredom are unpardonable sins. Gemini is born to talk, and they need to master the art of speaking. They are also born to listen although this does not come as automatically. While quick wit and even eloquence is natural to Gemini, they need to remember that communication is two-ways. They need to remember to listen, to absorb the world.
Curiosity is Gemini’s greatest resource. A sense of the world’s wonder, a childlike appreciation of everything in the world. Vitality is another of their resources. As curiosity drives them constantly, they need to have vitality to keep up with it all. Their third resource is intelligence, and no other sign has a quicker mind. They have great flexibility but on the shadow side they need to be sure that they don’t reconstruct the information to hide an unpleasant truth. They don’t really lie but rather shift the emphasis with a few strategic silences and a barrage of words. Right or wrong they rarely lose an argument.
They like to share their affection with many people. They are adaptable and find little difficulty in adjusting to variety and changes of scene, they thrive on it. Because of their constant desire to change, it will be unusual for them to go through like without changing their business, career or profession at least once.
