Gemini Zodiac Sign

Gemini personality

The quick-witted communicator who is curious about everything and everyone.

Ruled by Mercury, Gemini is the zodiac's communicator: curious, clever and endlessly adaptable. The Twins thrive on variety, conversation and ideas, and can charm almost anyone.

First of all, you're a great thinker. Many of the world's intellectuals are Geminis. Your mind is insatiable-it's so quick on the uptake that you can't understand why everyone else is just now grasping what you got in a split second. In fact, by the time it takes them to catch up with you, your mind has become bored by the inactivity. You've already turned and twisted the knowledge around just to see what would happen, and to keep your mind active. Some people mistake this playful brilliance as deception or dishonesty, because they can't keep up with you. But you're just trying to keep things interesting. Your mind needs to be fed with new ideas on a constant basis. Having recognized this at an early age, you've become remarkably adept at satisfying it. Wit is your forte. You love to laugh, because you're so good at sharp humor. You're particularly fond of puns and wordplay-Mercury rules writing, language, and a love of words-so you're quite the social charmer. You're popular, and you know it. You enjoy people, and you love to watch them to keep your mind busy. You're at your best at parties, bars, the office water cooler-anywhere you can find people with whom you can laugh. You thrive on gossip and news-you need information constantly, more even than food. You're an avid reader-again, because of your need for ideas and your love of words. In fact, you're one of the few people who can read a book, watch TV, and talk on the phone all at the same time-you relish thinking on several levels at once. You have a natural affinity for word puzzles- you're unbeatable at Scrabble and a regular crossword solver-but you should consider using your language talents for more useful purposes. Learn a foreign language, or read more constructively for knowledge that will help you in the real world. You certainly have the aptitude for it-it's just a question of applying yourself. Many Geminis are multi-talented. The great thinker Jean-Paul Sartre (June 21) was a poet, novelist, and philosopher; John F. Kennedy (May 29) was not only a great president but also a respected author (Profiles in Courage) and one of America's most gifted intellectuals. The Russian composer Igor Stravinsky (June 5) showed his precocity by penning his most famous pieces at a young age, then, like a true Gemini, not content to rest on his laurels, continued to innovate and experiment to satisfy his own mind, at the expense of confusing the public. He even lectured on poetry at Harvard. 2011 horoscope Gemini 2011 horoscope Today horoscope Aries Daily Horoscope ... Taurus Daily Horoscope ... Gemini Daily Horoscope ... Cancer Daily Horoscope ...
