DESCRIPTION:
If Gemini could be described in one word it would be ‘connection’. Whether its networking and connecting people together, connecting the dots in a research study or connecting different ideas together to create the ultimate lightbulb moment. Feeling the need to gather information is what makes Geminis tick - and their social nature means that they will usually be gathering info about or on other people (they can be partial to gossip). Having a super agile mind and attitude towards life, Geminis can live quite experimentally. Whilst this sign does not take well to any kind of censorship, it also means that variety and diversity are always welcome into their sphere. Living life seeing every single option available can make it hard to take things too seriously, as well as make it difficult to commit to anyone/anything.
This card symbolises the need to not be afraid of little deviations and getting sidetracked. Sticking to the designed plan might cost you a great discovery or piece of information!
ABOUT THE AIR SIGNS
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Air signs have the urge of communication - the need to talk about ‘something’. To figure out what ‘something’ is, give it a name and transmit that information to others.
Air as an element is one that has no shape, yet it fills up any empty space. The Air signs therefore have an endless knowledge and are able to touch on any subject matter and view it from an unbiased, rational point of view. Air signs function through communicating with others about ideas &concepts. This makes relationships of extreme importance. Their intellectual and open minded nature make them extremely tolerant and objective. Able to listen to others thoughts and understand different points of view, even if they disagree. This civilised nature blesses Air signs with excellent social skills. However, sometimes their overly intellectual and ‘fact’ based personality can become restrictive - where they fail to consider their personal and physical needs. ‘Things in theory are not always the same as things in practice.”
ABOUT THE MUTABLE SIGNS
Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces
Born during the ending of each of the seasons, Mutable signs are excellent at coping with endings and changes. As one season changes into another, so are these signs living in a constant state of transformation and fluidity. Not even necessarily wanting for anything permanent or stable, the Mutable signs are also associated with being extremely restless. Where Cardinal signs are linked to beginnings, and Fixed signs are linked to attachments - the Mutable signs are linked to something more abstract and changing: ideas and beliefs. Mutable signs are more interested in learning and philosophising about life - rather than actually living it. Therefore, these signs often don’t have the need for long-term plans or achieving any sort of position of power. This view on life can make the Mutable signs extremely commitment-shy. However, their blasé attitude towards competition makes them extremely agreeable, and the signs most easy to get along with. Whilst this way of being might be perplexing to more practical signs; it is worth noting that there is a reasonable way for the Mutable’s lifestyle. Most people have to adapt to their changing world and life, instead of forcing the world to bend to their will. Such is their nature, that Mutable signs will stay in a situation as long as they're interested; and when that stops, they have no problem changing direction. This can also be applied to the way they deal with conflict - preferring to avoid instead of confront.
