well defined, except that it has to be different from what his father, or
his mother, or his brother, is. If the urge remains ... Gemini stays a bad
child all his life, breaking rules, rebelling against authority, dashing
hither and yon over the geographical, social and emotional world in
order to make sure that he doesn’t yield his individuality to one place
or one wife (or husband). Education or other discipline must come to
Gemini through his own volition, and when it does is his salvation; for
then the passion to be different turns into creative originality in busi-
ness or the arts, and Gemini forges ahead. He will generally be found in
the camp of liberalism, because it is against the status quo if for no
other reason.Sometimes Gemini rebels against the status quo of his own life.... But if
his life gives him sufficient scope to be himself, Gemini stays settled. The
more his concept of what it means to be himself diverges from the early,
rebellious, sensational, adventurous urges toward intellectual excellence
and a sense of social responsibility, the higher Gemini gets in the world,
for his sense of what constitutes his best self is not limited. It often starts
with free love, breaking school rules and talking back to cops. But here,
with any luck at all, the Gemini versatility breaks in; also the Gemini
practical good sense. He discovers that his self might just as well be
something more stable, sets his self development along another line, and
gratifies his desire to be himself in progress rather than in destruction.
Everything depends on his subjective reaction to himself; and it there-
fore becomes his moral obligation to develop to the point where he is
inwardly satisfied by what is constructive. He will never do anything
because someone, or a convention, tells him to; but he may, and often
does, grow up to the point where his behavior satisfies himself best when
it is going somewhere in a straight line, instead of nowhere in a circle.

Curious, versatile, clever, and able to jump quickly from one area to
another are well known traits of Gemini. I have not found anything to
add or subtract to the widely held ideas of Gemini. (Courtesy of Cos-

A number of specialized report programs has been developed that offer useful
supplements to the generic delineations of general reports. The following sun-sign
interpretation has been drawn from a program written by Gloria Star (originally part
of her book, Astrology: Woman to Woman) that generates a specialized report for
women:
With your Sun in Gemini your inquisitive manner and quick wit may
be your trademarks. You need variety, and whether in relationships,
career opportunities or creative endeavors will prefer to create a life
which gives you plenty of options. You may radiate an air of intelli-
gence, and most enjoy people and situations which stimulate yourGemini
