I am Gemini: Fascinate me – Ruled by Mercury
Gemini exists to think and ponder and experience his ideas. Concepts, cleverness, wit, mental challenges, and conundrums of all types are sources of endless fascination for our mercurial friends.
Give your Twins a problem to solve, an idea to explore and watch what happens. Much like the ignition of elements in the beaker of a science lab, various compound reactions are possible – though rarely predictable. Oh, yes, your Twins are proud of their mutability, their unpredictability, the very essence of what makes them, well a them. There’s a very good reason why the symbol for Gemini is the Twins. They are most definitely a they rather than he or she.
There is a decidedly changeably face presented by these folks, which makes them very, very good actors, mimics, and yes, maybe even a few schizophrenics in the bunch. Words are their weapon of choice, and get collared by one and you will soon find yourself swimming in a sea of them. A Gemini could sell snow to an Eskimo.
Slick and smooth in the extreme, the talented Twin is able to present the appropriate face at any moment he needs to summon it, and therefore makes a natural diplomat. When serving the needs of an ideal or cause the Gemini among us knows how to influence the minds of others and maneuver great alliances into being.
Sometimes he has been accused of being dishonest. Well, when this does happen, it is because the Gemini cannot resist the temptation to practice his cleverness and facility at creating illusion. Much like the elusive Mystique character in X-men, the Twins powers can be used for good or evil. Only he or she – or they – can decide which. Ultimately the karma of being born a Gemini is about learning about communication and each of our responsibility regarding it.
Twins learn through their opposite, the sign of Sagittarius and so, ultimately this detail oriented mercury mind learns to see the big picture and develop a philosophy as represented by broad minded Sag. The Gemini with an ideal or cause to pursue is a Gemini with a spring in his or her step, a sense of purpose and above all, something to ground all that excess personal electricity with.
Oh, the acrobatic Twins can be so nimble, so clever and oh so entertaining. But really he is searching for an intellectual challenge, stimulation, fascination that will cause her to become absorbed and require utmost and complete concentration. Oh, how dreary life becomes for these Mercury minded folks when their minds are allowed to wander too far. Give them a challenge! Spark their imagination, shake their concepts!
If you can do so, they will run right out and woo you, wow you, razzle-dazzle you and throw in a few back flips just for good measure. These are the thinkers of the zodiac, and if this fine mind isn’t allowed to waste it’s time on trivial gossip then they are the problem solvers, the flashes of insight and brilliance that hurl us forward with new ideas. Ideas, spark evolution and revolution. But by that time the Twins are long gone, bored and ready to find a new puzzle to bend their minds around.
If you love a Gemini be clever and witty. Tease them, tie their brains into little pretzels and make them laugh. If they decide you are interesting enough for them then they will constantly delight you with their words, charming surprises, thoughtfulness, cheer and sheer zaniness
This planet was the messenger of the gods in the Greek myths. MERCURY would be the one to send messages between the various gods of Mount Olympus, and also from the gods to man. He was a very androgynous male figure. Since he is also responsible for messages from god to man, as a force he could be considered equivalent to Angels, and divine intuitions. But he was also a trickster, and could show a more disruptive face. He is responsible for misunderstandings between people and the power, yet limitations of language to convey our thoughts to one another. He is responsible for words, having stolen the alphabet from the gods and brought it to man. The god MERCURY is rather amoral in his behavior, capable of lies and petty thievery, as well as love poems and messages of encouragement. He is capricious and takes flights of fancy. But there is rarely anything deeply malicious about his influence, just irksome and annoying at times. He is generally playful, and for all his fickleness, is sincerely distressed when someone is upset. At those times he can become a playful clown, cracking witty remarks. He might not really solve the problem, but he may show you a way to laugh at it. His realm of rulership includes all of the communication methods used by man, telephones, faxes, the mail, gossip columns, and even telepathy. MERCURY’S influence makes us aware of what we say to one another, how we phrase it and what they say back to us. The planet MERCURY lends cleverness and acuity to a personality. There is often something ironic about MERCURY, he being the planet/god responsible for puzzles, riddles and brainteasers. When MERCURY is making his influence felt, we become keenly aware of the various sides and aspects of an issue or idea.
