Gemini

No, you're not seeing double. The energy of the third house, the domain of Gemini, is that of twin forces, with one always seeking to win out over the other, or at least to be heard. How else can you explain the amazing ability of natives of this airy sign to see all sides of a problem, or play devil's advocate in a debate while staying true to the nature of the argument? With Gemini, both Twins can win, and in doing so, they can prove that both sides of opposing forces have valid points. No other sign is nearly as adept at this trickery of conversation. In this way, Geminis can be wonderful at helping others to feel seen and understood.

Gemini energy is outgoing, positive, and oh so personable. Yet, it is remarkably self-contained, and even with its closest allies, it says much while revealing little. This isn't because Gemini is private or is trying to hide itself, but rather it just has no idea what it is feeling half the time. Intensely curious about its environment and intensely cerebral, your Gemini friend may still relish the sanctity of home and solitude at times.

Gemini wants to keep up with what’s “out there,” but still requires a safe harbor, frequently having at least one valued home base from which to embark on its worldly adventures. These Twins may be clever and fun-loving first, but they are always seeking connection. If they feel in sync with others and part of a small community, they end up radiating the best energy of the sign. Because they often have two opposing viewpoints providing conflicting information, one voice might tell them they are better off alone. This voice needs to be tuned out. If it is not, the Gemini may constantly want for attention, and you’ll frequently find them lingering too long in relationships or careers trying to scrape up morsels of affection and meaning. A lonely Gemini is a very sad Gemini.

The main challenge for those born under this sign is to merge the twin voices in their head, finding just one singular voice that is strong, clear, confident, and unmistakably their own. Sure, both voices might be technically correct, but elements of both will feel authentic. When Gemini people choose an intuitively-based viewpoint on life that doesn't come from their heads or an internal debate but comes from a soulful sense of instinct, they can become closer to self-actualization.
