GEMINI
Gemini, the third sign of the zodiac, is ruled by Mercury and symbolized by the Twins, reflecting the duality and adaptability at the heart of this air sign. Known for their sharp intellect, curiosity, and wit, Geminis are natural communicators who thrive on social interaction and the exchange of ideas. They are versatile and quick-thinking, often juggling multiple interests and projects with ease. While their energy and enthusiasm are contagious, Geminis can sometimes appear restless or indecisive due to their ever-shifting focus. Nevertheless, their lively spirit and mental agility make them engaging companions and innovative thinkers.
