Section 1: General characteristics

You are an "up" person, positive-minded and lively, and you
generally have an invigorating, inspiring, energizing effect
upon other people. Boredom or getting stuck in the rut of old
habits is not a problem for you, as you have numerous interests
and the energy to pursue many of them. However, overextending
yourself, pouring your energies out without taking time to
replenish yourself, scattering your forces or moving on to new
things before you finish something are definite tendencies. You
can burn yourself out by being involved in too many activities.
You seem impelled to be always in motion, as if you were afraid
you would miss something interesting "out there". Paying
attention to your body's needs for rest, attending to your own
inner world and to your feelings and giving sufficient attention
to your immediate family and their needs is something you need
to learn to do more of. It would benefit you to simply stop from
time to time and just be for awhile.

You are very idealistic and are frequently disappointed that
we do not live in a perfect world, but it is through the vision
and energy of people like yourself that new ideas are introduced
and positive changes made. Your gifts are your ability to
entertain and play with creative ideas and possibilities, to
seek new solutions to problems, and to venture gladly into new
territory (literally or figuratively).

You need to cultivate the quality of receptivity; the
ability to listen and quietly absorb what another is saying, for
instance, instead of focusing on what you have to say. Learning
to wait and to trust rather having to make something happen or
trying to bend the world to your will is another aspect of
this.

One of your primary challenges involves developing a stable
sense of security, solidness, and a steady rhythm in your life.
Cultivating self-discipline, patience and endurance, and
learning to accept realistic limitations will enable you to be
more productive and to actualize some of the ideas and creative
impulses you have. You are not always interested in practical
applications, the actual work involved in realizing a desire or
compromises for the sake of practicalities.

You feel out of place in the world at times, restless,
discontent, unable to find your niche, dissatisfied with mundane
reality. Positively this may spark your exploration of the
creative, imaginative, or spiritual side of life. However, you
tend to resist growing up and learning how to effectively deal
with adult responsibility. You also tend to be either bound up
with the past or projecting into the future, ignoring the
present moment - what actually is. To become more present and
grounded, you may find the following helpful: getting massages
on a regular basis, doing gentle regular, rhythmic exercise like
walking or yoga, and eating substantial, heavy foods.

Section 2: How you approach life and how you appear to others

The following is a description of your basic stance towards
life, the way others see you, the way you come across, the face
you show to the world. In Chapter 3 you will read about the "The
Inner You: Your Real Motivation", which describes the kind of
person you are at heart and where your true priorities lie. Read
this chapter and the next one and compare them - there may be
significant differences between them, in which case "the inner
you" may not shine through and others are in for some surprises
when they get to know you at a more than superficial level. This
chapter describes the costume you wear, your role in life, while
Chapter 3 talks about the real person inside the costume.

Forward-looking and progressive you are a
person who supports change, innovation, and human advancement,
and you are often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or
social improvement. You are extremely aware of the
interconnection and interdependence of all people, and are
always relating personal issues to some larger framework. You
see the political or social ramifications of personal actions,
and you wish to contribute something of value to the world, or
at least to your community or group.

The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood,
social justice, etc. color your whole outlook and approach to
life. You are truly interested in the good of the whole and not
only your own personal well-being.

Sometimes you may overlook or ignore your own and others'
personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not
conform to your ideals of how one should feel or act. Though you
have little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, you
yourself are sometimes dogmatic about your beliefs and
ideologies.

You are attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in
human thought and development, and you are eclectic and
cosmopolitan in your tastes. You may consider
yourself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow,
limited identification based on nationality, race, familial
heritage, etc. You are strongly influenced by your peer group
and the flavor of the times in which you grew up, more so than
by parental or family influences. You are involved and active in
groups, community efforts, cultural and progressive movements.

On a personal level, you are a friendly Gemini and express a
kind of impersonal good will towards others, which is a trait
that is further enhanced by the Aquarius Ascendant. You probably
have many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much
of your closeness with others is based on a sharing of common
ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see
you as a good friend and comrade, who is objective, fair, and
rather detached emotionally. You do not often show your
emotions, and may be unsure how to respond to others' emotional
expression, for you tend to be very rational.

You are also very independent and refuse to be possessed by
any individual. You are not comfortable with traditional sexual
roles and are inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage,
relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc.
You need to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere
and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing
of family ties, and close, deep, personal sharing may take a
back seat to your work or outside social activities.

You radiate a sense of pride, self-assurance, and a
definite awareness of your own importance. It is hard to ignore
you when you are present, and your personality may overshadow or
dominate the scene.

You project a feeling of broad-mindedness, generosity, and beneficence, a sense that you're someone others
should listen to and treat with respect. Because you generally
make such a favorable impression on people, many doors are open
to you, and it may seem that you are somehow luckier than other
people. Mostly this is due to the confidence you emanate.

You may well have been discouraged from freely expressing
yourself, and an overemphasis on being acceptable, conforming to
certain standards and expectations, and generally not getting
out of line is apt to inhibit you quite a bit.

You have a hypnotizing effect on people in your surroundings
and others see you as someone with extraordinary capabilities.
You have a strong desire to mentally dominate your environment,
and with your ability to out-talk anyone you can sway them to your opinions.

You have a tendency to live in a world of your own, a world
that is likely to be far from reality. You want to make a big
impression, and with your dazzling personality you know how to
put on a brilliant show.

Section 3: The inner you: your real motivation

Although you have lofty ideals and are high-minded in many
ways (as mentioned in the previous chapter), there is a side of
you that is sly, funny, and really cannot take anything too
seriously. Your sense of humor saves you from becoming overly
earnest about yourself or the things you believe in.< p>

As a typical Gemini, you are, in many ways, an eternal
child, and this trait is brought out even further by the
presence of the Sun in Gemini aspect of your chart. Your mind is
bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful, and always eager for
new experiences - and your attention span is often quite brief.
You grasp ideas quickly and once your initial curiosity has been
satisfied, you want to go on to something else. You crave
frequent change, variety, meeting new situations and people.

It may be hard for you to decide just where your talents and
true vocation lie, for you have a multitude of interests and are
loathe to limit yourself by concentrating on just one. You are
easily distracted by all of the other fascinating possibilities.
Your curiosity and restlessness propel you into many different
experiences in life, and you are willing to taste or try
anything once. Doing the same thing over and over again, even it
is something you do well, is real drudgery for you.

You live in your head a great deal - reading, observing,
thinking, spinning ideas around - and you need mental
stimulation every bit as much as you need food and drink. In
fact, Angelina Jolie, if you had to choose between a good book
or movie and a good lunch, you would very likely choose the
former. You have a creative mind and often live by your wits.

You are also a very social creature, with a strong need to
communicate and to interact with people. You enjoy using and
playing with words and have a real flair for getting your ideas
across in a clever, interesting, articulate manner. Writing or
speaking are areas you have talent for.

You also have a rather light and mischievous sense of humor,
and often do not take anything too seriously. Though you crave
emotional involvement, it is hard for you to achieve it, for you
are frequently unwilling to commit yourself to anything, to take
responsibility, or to limit your personal freedom and mobility.

Your happiness lies in using your creativity and your
language skills to communicate something meaningful, to teach,
inspire, or bring people together. You have an unbiased mind and
can usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective. Your
faults are your lack of constancy and persistence, and your
tendency to overlook or ignore deep emotional issues and other
people's feelings.

You are a private person and inclined to withdraw in very public and impersonal social settings. You prefer to work at home or in a very personal small business.

You invest a lot of your creative energy into your home,
your family, and your inner life.

You can be an inspiring leader of a team or group effort.
Your dynamism and energy evokes the same in others, and you see
healthy competition between people as a plus. Generally, you
enjoy fine health as well.

Along with your energy and drive you have high ideals and an
active fantasy life. There is a dreamer and an idealist in you,
as well as a doer and a fighter. You want to win but not at
others' expense, and this maybe something of a dilemma for you.

You are extremely sensitive, compassionate, and giving,
often to your own personal disadvantage. Your ideals and
spiritual values motivate you, and you cannot live only for
personal gain or materialistic concerns. There must be an
element of beauty, magic, imagination, inspiration or creativity
in what you do. Otherwise you become listless
and aimless. The arts, theater, music, and/or charitable works
suit you well.
