Gemini (♊)

The third sign of the zodiac, spanning May 21 to June 20. Gemini is a Mutable Air sign ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect. Symbolized by the Twins, Gemini embodies curiosity, versatility, duality, and the restless exchange of ideas. In a natal chart, strong Gemini placements indicate a personality that is witty, adaptable, and intellectually hungry, thriving on variety and social connection. The shadow side includes superficiality, inconsistency, and nervous energy. The Gemini archetype is the Messenger — the one who connects, translates, and disseminates information. Body rulership: hands, arms, and lungs. Gemini has no traditional exaltation and is in detriment in Jupiter. In mundane astrology, Gemini governs media, education, and local commerce.
