The Zodiac - Gemini

Sun in Gemini

Of all the signs, Gemini is the most quick-witted and you have a natural gift for grasping new ideas and for sharing them with ease with others. Your curiosity is boundless and you are always on the go, moving from one subject to another, trying to see life from new angles. The down side is that you can easily grow restless and finishing a project can be hard. But one thing that life can never be for those with the Sun in Gemini is dull! So long, that is, as you can follow your own instincts and avoid being trapped by dull routine.

The goal for Gemini is to unite the opposites within, and to come to terms with the human condition and its limitations. Like Mercury, the messenger, which is your ruler, your domain is communication.



The Sun in Astrology

Just as the sun in the sky is the center of the solar system, the Sun in astrology is the central nucleus of your personality.

If each of the planets circling round the sun represents a single facet of your personality - Venus describes how you love and Saturn how you relate to responsibility, for example - then the Sun is the conductor of your personal orchestra, giving meaning and coherence to the wholeness that is you. It is the part of yourself that you identify with, your sense of self. Its sign - your sun-sign - and house position, as well as the aspects that it makes to other planets, describe your true potential; the 'you' you are deep down and are striving to express, as well as your will, your goals and purpose. While the feminine Moon represents your Soul, the masculine Sun represents your Spirit. Its position in your chart also shows the ways in which your outlook has been influenced by your father.
