May 21st – June 20th
I am a big believer in the “yin-yang” dualism concept. Every person (every sign) has their good & bad parts and those things together make up who we are. It’s important that we recognize that we have two sides, so we best know how to control our behaviors and reactions.
It’s important to know…
All zodiac signs’ have different characteristics depending on their placement. While the Sun sign is our main identity and most important quality, looking into an individual’s other planets, such as the Moon or Venus, will help us to understand a person better.
While a Gemini Sun is what actually makes a person “a Gemini”, other Gemini placements will have the same attributes in a more specific regard.
For example: A Gemini Sun means the Gemini traits listed below would be the essence of who you are; your personality. But having a Gemini Moon means you would demonstrate these qualities in your emotional responses. Or having a Gemini Mercury would mean that the Gemini qualities below would be your communication style.
Do you have a Gemini in your life?
