GEMINI

Astrological Profile

Gemini is a Mercury ruled Air Sign. Thinking and ideas Òlive in the airÓ so
to speak as they have no Earthly form. Mercury is about thinking, speaking,
deal making, carrying messages, and so on. Gemini is His first sign, and the
first of the air signs. So, Gemini has a special kinship with messages which
travel in the air, which could be gossip, or TV advertising, Radio and so on.
Since Mercury is a very non-committed entity, so also Gemini has the
tendency to be open to all ideas, and therefore is very good for study, learning,
scholarship, education, teaching, repeating things learned, book publishing,
and so on.
In Sanskrit Gemini is called Mithuna, which means ÒsexÓ essentially. The
coming together of a pair of lovers for the exchange of love is a type of
meeting, which Gemini supports very well. Gemini and Mercury are very
supportive of talks, messages and negotiations, and not so much about
what
is being shared. Mercury and itÕs signs are more about handling messages and
information rather than
committing to the specific content of any one
message. There are many things which carry messages without concern for
the content- such as computer disks, libraries, phone lines, colleges, mirrors,
etc., and these things have a touch of either Mercury, Gemini or both, inside
of them.
Wherever Gemini sits in the chart, there we will find intellectualism. If
Gemini is in the first house, we will find an overall interesting but deal
making person. If Gemini is in the seventh, the person will have a tendency
to make deals with the spouse. If Gemini is in the ninth, the person will
have a tendency to intellectualize about religion, but necessarily commit to
any one religion.
Jnan, pronounced ÒgyawnÓ like ÒyawnÓ with a ÒgÓ in front, is a Sanskrit word
that means ÒknowledgeÓ. But it means Òbook knowledgeÓ or just knowing
facts, not
realized knowledge, which is more like ÒwisdomÓ. Gemini and
Mercury are more into
jnan, than vijnan (vig-gyawn). A jnani is one who
Òknows alot of thingsÓ. This does not necessarily imply depth of character, or
depth of wisdom, which requires positive help from Jupiter and Saturn. A
soldier who teaches war at a college may
know alot about warbut may be Òa
chickenÓ when it comes to fighting. Gemini and Mercury are about
jnan.
