Azra’s Astrology: Gemini the Twins

Humans have had millennia to really think about these signs and the different correlations to them. There’s so much that even the ones I am presenting aren’t even close to everything involved with the sign in question. There’s so much more like what body parts, what tarot card, flowers, crystals, you get the idea. Use this as a jumping off point and do your own research. I am sure there’s a specific pizza associated with each of these signs too. So here we go. Third on our list of zodiac signs is Gemini.

The twins is a constellation that has been recognized since ancient times as both Babylonian gods of plague and pestilence and the Greek personas of Castor and Pollux. I forget initially what the myths had to do with… something about Elmo and fire and in both cultures, a fair amount of time in the underworld.

Now, as for the people born under this sign, I urge you to beware. These fuckers are crazy and unpredictable. There’s nothing too random, nothing too extreme. They are willing to do pretty much anything. While this makes Gemini’s really cool to party with, they are fickle and flighty and in general unreliable if not in a party setting. They will change their minds a million times and avoid committing to anything whenever possible. This is probably a blessing in disguise because when they do set their mind to something, they will have the ability to talk you into it against all of your better judgement. While they are intelligent and witty, they are also extremely shallow and in general more trouble than they are worth.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This is no time to be serious! Dance! Sing! Enjoy the air and the birds and the sun before it’s too late.

Leo                        (Jun 23 – Aug 22)

All of your organizational efforts are for naught lately. It’s time to start reacting creatively to these unforeseen circumstances.

Pisces         (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Internal conflict is reducing your reaction times. Try to avoid life and death situations until you can regain your deadly confidence.

Virgo            (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Don’t sit at home – it’s not safe. Get yourself a new setting and socialize a bit. By the time you go back home, the danger will have passed.

Aries                (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Put on your people face and deal with opposing factions today before they have a chance to rise up against you.

Libra           (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Be spontaneous today! And, more importantly, don’t take other people seriously today. It’s just not worth it.

Taurus         (Apr 20 – May 20)

Don’t let others invalidate your opinions. You are right and they are wrong. Make them understand.

Scorpio          (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Time to stop being a hermit. Get out there and make some friends, or let your current friends know that you’re still alive.

Gemini         (May 21 – Jun 20)

To Valhalla! It’s time to fight! Don’t worry about picking sides, it’s going to change halfway through anyways.

Sagittarius       (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The matrix is shattering around you. Watch out for signs of déjà vu or if you know what’s going to happen before it actually does. You might just be Neo in disguise.

Cancer       (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s time to stop looking at the big picture and start understanding how to interact on a one-to-one level. It’ll do you good.

Capricorn      (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Ok, enough of this sadness! Cheer up already! Go have fun! Do something! Your bar tab is too much by this point.
