Today May 20th 2014 the Sun moves into Gemini. Happy Birthday month to all you Gemini's out there! In honor of our Sun's descent into Gemini I want to talk about the qualities of Gemini and the personality of a Gemini Sun. 

Gemini is the 3rd sign in the zodiac. Aries teaches us independence, Taurus teaches us how to be stable and grounded, now Gemini teaches us how to interact with the world and gain new insight and information. Gemini is an air sign, meaning the sign of Gemini operates on the mental plane. Gemini's minds are constantly processing information and they like to have constant mental stimulus or otherwise they get bored. The planet that rules Gemini is Mercury which rules the lower mind. Mercury's rulership adds to the mental energy of Gemini. Gemini's are very inquisitive and are constantly learning. They can get a bit too all over the place sometimes though and may have trouble focusing. Gemini's can be quite chatty and charming upon first meeting them as they are pleasant to interact with. Youthfulness is something that goes hand in hand with Gemini. No matter how old they are, they will have a touch of a child about them. They love to play and joke around and most of the time they are quite lighthearted. Gemini is a mutable sign which means that they can go with the flow and are able to be flexible and adaptable. In fact because of this ability to change, people with their Sun in Gemini may have trouble expressing their identity at times and they can be multi faceted. Gemini's archetype is the twins which shows a Gemini's ability to express duality. They are able to explore the two extremes of any situation and to some may appear two faced. Sometimes you never know what you are going to get with them. 

Overall Gemini is such a wonderful, lighthearted sign that knows the importance of learning new things and having fun. While the Sun is in Gemini whether you are one or not,  remember to lighten up, enjoy life and go with the flow. Bask in the playful energy of Gemini!
