People born in the month between May 21 and June 21 are Geminis. Gemini is an air sign, and air signs are the thinkers and adventurers in the zodiac. This sign also happens to be ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, and represented by a set of Twins—a dual personality, indeed. Gemini vibes best with Sagittarius, Libra, Leo, Aquarius, and Aries. Let's explore some strengths and weaknesses to see where this intriguing sign can improve and, ultimately, self-actualize.
Adaptability
Gemini falls under the category of Mutable signs, so it's relatively comfortable with change and unpredictable situations and often craves newness. Versatile Geminis thrive on their ability to adjust with ease and go with the flow. While others may start panicking in the face of unforeseen obstacles, Geminis don't sweat the small stuff. This is helpful with big-picture managerial roles. Because this sign enjoys novelty, it's always busy signing up for the next challenge and executing something exciting.
Curiosity
This star sign has an insatiable desire to learn and discover, a trait that fuels their love for exploration and gathering new information. Do you know that kid in class who always asks the teacher interesting, albeit class-extending, groan-inducing questions? Chances are they are Geminis trying to piece together puzzles and figure out how the world around them works. Geminis are travelers who love meeting new people. If a Gemini can't settle on a career path, you'll often find them dubbed a "Jack of all trades and master of none."
Communication skills
Geminis have the gift of the gab and fab listening skills. They ooze charm when they're in the mood. Their eloquence and wit in communication quickly win over fans and strategic partners, and they have a knack for engaging and stimulating conversations. Just one deep chat with a Gemini may open your eyes up to ideas, places, and people that might never have crossed your mind otherwise. This sign is ruled by the messenger planet Mercury.
Social butterfly
Gemini's curiosity and natural smoothness mean they do well in social settings, can quickly and effortlessly connect with strangers, and can work a room flitting from one person to the other with enviable finesse. But not all Geminis are extroverts. Some are introverts who can do the wining and dining of clients, for example, but require time alone to recharge their social batteries after that. People born under this sign often wear bold clothing because they're unafraid to attract attention and explain their choices.
Intellectualism
You might imagine that all Gemini does is gossip because they're inquisitive and charismatic enough to get away with probing others about their personal lives. But that would be giving the Twins short shrift. Curiosity is a hallmark of intelligent people, and Gemini is nothing if not smart as a whip. Of course, there are different kinds of intelligence, but we'd wager that the Geminis in your life are both book smart and emotionally intelligent.
Inconsistency
Here's the thing about the Twins—they have two faces and sometimes you don't know which one you're going to get. Dealing with Gemini's fluctuating moods and interests can be challenging. Trying to work out just how much a Gemini has embellished the truth can also be taxing. Because Gemini gets bored easily, they can struggle with finding a path to pursue in life and tend to not finish the things they start.
Creativity
Gemini's imaginative spirit means they can be prolific writers and artists. Creative mediums are a way for this sign to express some of the feelings they're less willing to discuss at dinner parties. Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond series, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who created Sherlock Holmes, were both Geminis. This sign has a great design sensibility and can apply its creativity to problem-solving, too.
Restlessness
The 2003 children's book by Julia Donaldson called "The Snail and the Whale" tells the tale of a snail with an "itchy foot." It's not content to stay stagnant on a rock with the other snails, so it hitches a ride on a humpback whale. Geminis, too, have ants in their pants. They're born travelers, and if they can't physically move from place to place, their mind goes around the world. This isn't always a problem, but it can sometimes mean that Geminis struggle to focus on the task at hand and are commitment-phobes in relationships because they're allergic to monotony.
Empathy
We all have flaws, and Gemini is no exception. But there's no doubt that this star sign is compassionate and can understand and share the feelings of others in ways that make them amazing friends. When people reach out to you, you don't rebuff them in their time of need unless it's become a repeat occurrence. Gemini often shares sincere pearls of wisdom when someone is looking for advice.
Indecisiveness
Because this sign's brain is always so active, they change their mind frequently and struggle to make decisions. This can be difficult for the people who work with Geminis and those with whom they are romantically involved. The Twins really come into play here—Geminis can be two-minded fence-sitters, and this fickleness and inability to take a stand is often their biggest weakness.
