Gemini Traits
Gemini, the third sign of the Zodiac can of the most confusing signs for other people. A Gemini personality is intriguing & sociable but the reasons behind this are more complex than one could imagine. The star sign of Gemini let us begin by saying that the sign’s flexibility comes from its Mutable Quality, while the restless, ever-changing aura of the sign derives from its association with the Air Element. While you may think of this information as a bit confusing right now, take a moment to let it sync in and fully understand the symbolisms, as the quality of each sign largely shapes its compatibility with other zodiac signs.
Gemini Personality
Planning in advance and looking into the future are things that feel alien to a Gemini. Long-term…anything, is not something a Gemini feels comfortable with or interested in. This sign is easily bored and it only takes a little while until they decide to discard the thing they were extremely interested in yesterday, as something already old. Another side-effect of their curiosity is engaging in a multitude of things, all at once and naturally ending up leaving most or all of them unfinished.
It’s rather common for a Gemini to enter a relationship or sign up for a job with two contradicting ideas about them in his mind at the same time. The symbol of the sign, the Twins, perfectly depicts this constant internal struggle. However this struggle is invisible to most as the sign’s adaptability makes them shine in any room they enter. It is not considered the most sociable sign for nothing.
Gemini Relationships
Gemini and Aries: They treasure their personal time and space and this will either make them strong allies that derive great benefits from being together, or cause them to eventually drift apart.
Gemini and Taurus: Their striking contrasts and divergent desires might make it difficult for them to satisfy each other’s needs. However, if these two are strongly attracted to each other and are prepared to show considerable patience, this can lead to a perfect blend of durability and flexibility.
Gemini and Gemini: When two Geminis come together they can mirror each other perfectly. The problem with this combination is that it lacks the elements that could make it stand the test of time. The loose ties that bind these partners together are liable to break easily.
Gemini and Cancer: This is a challenging combination, due to their different outlooks on love. However, if Gemini teach Cancer how to externalise their feelings, and Cancer help Gemini to learn to handle their own emotions, they can make an excellent couple.
Gemini and Leo: A particularly intense love bond that can grow in depth and strength as time goes by. This is a love-match that has a lot going for it, allowing both partners to grow and enhance their respective personalities.
Gemini and Virgo: They both are highly cerebral and tend to prioritise reason over emotion. But the way they think is radically different and this can lead to major communication gaps.
Gemini and Libra: Founded on mutual freedom and generosity, they are bound to get on just fine. This is a particularly flexible love match, but for their relationship to blossom, they both need to put in some effort to cultivate their bond and turn it into something special.
Gemini and Scorpio: A distinctly incompatible match, due to their different outlooks on life and love. They will have to be madly in love with each other for their love match to work. If they truly love each other, their conflicts may strengthen their ties.
Gemini and Sagittarius: They complement each other perfectly, forming a relationship filled with contrasts that can help both signs broaden their horizons and further their intellectual development.
Gemini and Capricorn: In order for this challenging relationship to work, Capricorn needs to be patient and respectful of Gemini’s volatile nature, while Gemini needs to grow up a little and learn to behave more maturely.
Gemini and Aquarius: They both see love as a means of gaining greater self-knowledge without compromising their independence. Coupled together, they can enjoy an intellectual and unconventional romance, which can endure if they do not neglect to nurture their emotional bond.
Gemini and Pisces: This love match is characterised by a fragile balance between reason and emotion, as they both have widely divergent views on romance. The key to a successful love match resides in patience, a willingness to meet the other half way.
