Gemini is the third zodiacal constellation, pictorially represented
as the Twins, Castor and Pollux, and ruled by Mercury.
Mercury, usually called quicksilver, is the only metal that is liquid at normal temperature. Gemini is a mutable, air sign. Mutable means "given to frequent change"; air, in astrology, pertains to mentality. When you consider a few key words of the sign and ruling planet, you get a general idea of mental and emotional characteristics and, in turn, the physical tendencies: Active, adaptable, curious, congenial, inventive, versatile, literate and restless. You have a keen and often brilliant mind, with a charming personality and ready wit—the intellectual type who loves to acquire knowledge. You can be truly learned or superficial, eloquent or merely glib, a genius or what is known as a smart operator, constructively active or a daydreamer. When you get a good idea—and a Gemini is intuitive—try to follow through with it. Coordinate your idea with concentration and perseverance; the scatterbrain rarely achieves success.
