The Zodiac - Gemini

The Flowers of Gemini

The flowers of Mercury, Gemini's planet, are lily of the valley and honeysuckle, the most sweetly scented flowers of the shady woodlands and the waysides that Mercury rules. Quick-witted Mercury also owns all fresh and sharply scented flowers and herbs, such as lavender, lemongrass and mint. Your herbs are marjoram, parsley, valerian and dill, and your trees are the hazel and palm. Your essential oils are lavender, lemongrass and peppermint, which all refresh and stimulate Gemini's active, curious mind, bringing clarity and calm.

The Jewels of Gemini

The opal, with its ever-changing coloured fires, reflects Gemini's sparkling, multifaceted personality and its boundless appetite for change, novelty and information. Alexandrite, which glows red during the day and turns emerald green at night, also belongs to Gemini. It helps the wearer to see both sides of a situation simultaneously and to keep in balance. The many hued agate is also a healing stone for Gemini. Warm, reddish brown agates are earthing, while blue lace agate eases mental tensions and helps the wearer to maintain emotional balance and a sense of peace and continuity in relationships of every kind.
