The sign of Gemini, light as the air that gives it character, is the sign of the dual personality. The average Gemini person is not the extreme case of split personality, where the subject dramatically changes from good Dr. Jekyll, to evil Mr. Hyde. But the Gemini native has, more than any other kind of person two distinct natures. They blow hot and cold, are “ with you, and against you,” or they are sunshine and showers. All of these variable dispositions are found in Gemini more than in any other Zodiacal type.
At best they are many-faceted people, sparkling, brilliant, and hard, like diamonds. They have the mental qualities inspired by the sign ruler, Mercury, fleet-footed messenger of the GOD’s. This influence makes them intellectual, analytical, full of wit and accomplishments. The Gemini mind is impersonal, and never guided in decisions by emotions or even qualities of right or wrong. But they do have a very wide stripe of common sense in their makeup. They can think problems out for other people, for their approach is always rational, though cold.
Again the influence of Mercury makes them very capable people. They can turn a hand to anything, and do it well. They always have a professional touch, and are nimble-fingered, skillful and adroit. They move quickly and gracefully, and are impatient with anything but high speed.
If a Gemini native is not employed in mental work, or some intellectual pursuit, but is found working at a skilled trade, more than likely it will be where great delicacy and dexterity are essential. More often Gemini people are found in the legal profession, or writing for the newspapers. They make fine surgeons, dentists, or engineers, electrical and mechanical. They are adapted to radio mechanics, or Airplane manufacture, for this sign is air-minded. They are also very mathematical, and make excellent certified public accountants. Many financial manipulators come from the sign of Gemini, and though to them the risks seem certainties, several fraudulent schemers have built up miraculous fortunes, only to have the law overtake them, to show up the airy miscalculations of their plan. A certain Mr. Ponzi, of doubtful fame was a native of Gemini who tangled himself up in one of these ventures.
The natives of this sign are socially in demand. Their temperament makes them appear gay and charming, even when within themselves they are not at all interested. They always appear sociable, and really do add to the success of any group, for they are witty and poised and highly stimulated by society.
They are usually very well informed, and apparently have plenty of information on any subject mentioned. This is not always true, but Gemini thinks so quickly and speaks so fluently that a very superficial knowledge goes a long way.
It is in a sense remarkable that these natives enjoy social popularity, for they are sharp-tongued and gossiping. Gemini people spread rumors, and they could fill a scandal sheet with tit-bits of gossip. Some serious back fires, and lively revenge has been the result of this loose chatter.
Gemini people are often good looking in a clear-featured, smart way. They have small neat features, nicely patterned in a long head. Their mien is animated and wide-awake, expressive of great intelligence. They are usually slender, and often very thin. They are exceedingly nervous, impatient and variable in manner and mood. This impatience is not the kind met with in the Aries native, who is restless because he cannot get his’ work done fast enough, but the Gemini impatience is rather the impatience of a bored person who having started one thing, is now weary and desirous of starting something else.
The negative Gemini type has all of the detachment and coolness of his’ higher intellectual brother, but it falls to the degree of calculated cunning. This type often provides stock swindlers, confidence men, counterfeiters, forgers, and alas, blackmailers. The Gemini woman of the lower orders is the perfect gold digger. Her type appears to be the fragile pure Madonna who needs a strong arm to lean on because the hard world offends her matchless purity. Actually, this type is just cold rather than pure, but one effect can sometimes mask another.
The health of Gemini natives is usually excellent. They appear to be rather fragile, or at least delicate, but this is not the case. Doubtless that impression is created by the fact that they are so nervous and thin, and apparently wear themselves down to the bone. They seldom contract illnesses, and maintain a remarkably even grade of health. All this is true under average circumstances. With excessive strain, the lungs might be affected, as these are sensitive in Gemini.
In love and marriage Gemini men have the contrast of mild affections and sensual passions. The two qualities within this sign, have little in common. As a lover, the native is arch, flirtatious, teasing and boyish. He is seldom vitally interested, and even when he is attracted, another personality can quickly charm him.
He is somewhat more satisfactory as a husband. Home ties do mean something to him, especially if he marries an intellectual companion. If however his’ wife is of the nagging, demanding, possessive type, the Gemini husband will not be able to endure it. He is temperamentally unfit to endure constant pressure. When Gemini men have overbearing wives, they often leave home. When they do not take such strong measures, they become that sad object, a hen-pecked husband.
Gemini women are exceedingly refined. They have a rare, unapproachable delicacy that is very attractive to wealthy men, who wish to have wives who suggest class and appear to be well bred. The disposition is sunny, the mind, active and agile, and the manner in society poised and charming. In private domestic life it is often a surprise to find so much animal passion in these fragile bird-like women.
