Sun in Gemini

(The Sun is in Gemini from approximately May 21 to June 20,

depending on the year).

ith the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self!expression is strong.These nati"es are often #ust as interested in $olle$ting

information as they are in sharing it. %urious to a fault,

Geminis ha"e a &nger in e"ery pie.

Solar Geminis are 'exile and $hangeale people. Their aility

to adapt ui$*ly to ne+ situations generally gains them plenty

of friends and so$ial $onta$ts. sually uite $le"er and +itty,Geminis en#oy intelle$tual $on"ersations and they are easily

ored if they are not getting enough mental stimulation.

-ften uite adept at &tting in +ith others, Geminis easily

adopt the moods of those around them. They are friends to

people from all +al*s of life, and are not easily intimidated.

Their aility to deta$h themsel"es $an ma*e Geminis "ery

o#e$ti"e and oser"ant, ut a little di$ult to get $lose to./lthough they often ha"e many friends, intima$y doesnt

$ome as easily to Solar Geminis.

t $an e di$ult to *no+ +hat Gemini really feels at any

gi"en moment. They are often "ery impressionale and

s$attered. There is usually a ner"ous air to Geminis that $an

ma*e more personal $hara$ters a little uneasy. t is not al+aysintuiti"e to trust Geminis to e loyal or to *eep se$rets.

Geminis often 'it aout, mo"ing ui$*ly and *eeping usy

e"ery step of the +ay. Many people +ith this position of the

Sun ha"e gained uite a it of *no+ledge in their lifetimes,

ut they dont often possess spe$ialied *no+ledge. This is

e$ause Geminis ha"e relati"ely short attention spans.

3estlessness is espe$ially $ommon +ith this position of the

Sun.

impro"ement. 3e!organiing their homes in littleBand

sometimes igB+ays seems to *eep them happy, as Aunar

Geminis are easily ored y oth routine and $onstan$y.

-ften, this is a re'e$tion of their inner +orldB5the grass is

al+ays greener...5 applies here. n+ardly, Aunar Geminis areoften unsettled. Moon in Gemini parents are generally more

adept at handling the intelle$tual needs of their $hildren than

emotional ones. -thers $ompli$ated emotions, in general, $an

e di$ult for Aunar Geminis to handle.

n their families, Aunar Geminis often ta*e on the role of

organiing get!togethers. They are at their est +hen they

ha"e plenty of things to do eyond routine.

Moon in Gemini people almost al+ays ha"e a +ay +ith +ords.

They are $le"er and +itty, and more often than not $an e

found $hatting +ith others. They are so$iale and friendly, and

feel $omfortale in $ro+ds. Some pay too mu$h attention to

+hat e"eryone else is doing, and lose tou$h +ith +hat they

really +ant to do. Generally, Aunar Geminis ha"e a million andone pro#e$ts going. They are impressionale fol*, and their

imagination is oundless.

Their openness to ne+ ideas is admirale, although

de$isi"eness and persisten$e ta*e a lo+ as a result. Still,

"ersatility and adaptaility are some of the stronger traits of

this position of the Moon.

hen irritale, these people $an easily e$ome snappy. Their

moodiness is $ompli$atedBthis is not the same *ind of

moodiness youll &nd +ith +ater sign moons, for example.

sually, di$ult eha"ior stems from inner restlessness. Aunar

Geminis +ant to do it all, and ha"e troule sti$*ing to any one

pro#e$t.

hen prolems arise, the &rst instin$t of Moon in Gemini

nati"es is to tal* things out. Their tenden$y to analye $an

8/9/2019 Gemini2

gi"e them the appearan$e of emotional deta$hment. n fa$t,

Aunar Geminis may e espe$ially $omfortale tal*ing aout

their feelings, ut feeling their o+n feelings doesnt $ome as

easily. Those that dont ta*e time out to really emote and

understand their o+n needs may end up aCing others.7eeling misunderstood is $ommon for Moon in Gemini nati"es.

The only real solution to the prolem is learning to get in

tou$h +ith their o+n feelings.

Mer$ury in Gemini

Mer$ury in Gemini people are generally ui$*!+itted. They $an
