Like all members of the Zodiac, the Gemini Horoscope is drawn from the position of the Gemini constellation of stars with respect to the earth, moon, sun and other constellations at a point in time, the analyses for which are gathered into a general horoscope for the year. Gemini is the third constellation in the zodiac and is considered a masculine, positive and extrovert sign but most significantly it is a sign that symbolizes versatility. The third house dominates the zodiac between May 22nd and June 20th, the summer solstice. Those born when the Sun enters the Gemini constellation, the third house, fall under the Gemini Horoscope and are imbued with the qualities of Gemini.
Apart from being an air sign, it is also a mutable sign which means that at the time the sun enters the Gemini constellation, the disposition of the air is changed due to the change of season from spring to summer. Such mutable signs are associated with unstable and wavering qualities. Ruled by the planet Mercury, the Gemini Horoscope is known to bestow the qualities of the Roman God Mercury which are intelligence, cleverness, awakening and high education.
The Gemini Horoscope and the position of celestial bodies with respect to it does not only express its effects on earth, its zodiacal counterparts and individual personalities, it also significantly influences the way in which individuals of their respective zodiac horoscopes and elements interact with each other and with those of the Gemini Horoscope. Usually, those born under the Gemini Horoscope are considered to be most compatible with individuals born under air signs, such as those born under Libra and Aquarius. Gemini individuals are also known to be compatible with those born under the fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Although those born under the Virgo and Pisces are signs of the opposite nature, water signs, they are still considered to be semi-compatible with Gemini folk due to the similarly mutable nature of the signs.
Astrology is a rather complicated craft and there are a number of variables that determine the Horoscope and inter-zodiacal and inter-personal compatibility. For each individual, the time and date of their birth determines the position of the constellation, other constellations, the sun, the moon, the earth, the planets and the aspects they form with one another are the considered to be the very specific and eventual deciding factors in how a person’s life will play out due to their effect on each other. The compatible signs and the horoscopes that we usually read in the newspaper’s Coffee-Time section everyday are actually just general guidelines that may work for some and not so much for others.
For the curious, there is actually a branch of astrology called Synastry which deals with interpersonal and specific compatibilities which is what is used in India before the betrothed couple is married in order to determine good compatibility and how their horoscopes will affect each other. The Gemini Horoscope is symbolized by the twin brothers Castor and Pollux, from Greek mythology. Loki, the Norse mythical trickster figure, is also often associated with Gemini. The wonderful thing about the Gemini Horoscope and astrology in general is that the sign’s symbol is sufficient to describe what the particular zodiac stands for.
