v��d��e

An�animation�of the�constellation�Gemini(center), "the twins", shows two parallel stick figures. Gemini is associated with themyth�of�Castor and Polydeuces�(also known as Pollux), collectively known as theDioscuri.^[2][3]

Gemini�(Gem-en-i.e.) (♊) is the third�astrological sign�in the�Zodiac, originating from the�constellation of Gemini. In�western astrology, this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of theprecession of the equinoxes. In�astrology, Gemini is considered a "masculine",�positive (extrovert) sign. Perhaps the most dominant Geminian characteristic is versatility. It is also considered an�air sign, and is one of four�mutable signs.^[4]�Gemini has been closely associated with the planet�Mercury�and is considered to be�ruled�by it. Being the third sign of the zodiac, Gemini has been associated with the astrological third�house.

Individuals born when the�Sun�was in this sign are considered Gemini individuals. Under the�tropical (western) zodiac, Sun is in the sign of Gemini roughly from May 21 to June 20, ending at the moment ofsummer solstice�by definition. Under the�sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from June 15 to July 15. The�Sanskrit�name of Gemini in�Hindu astrology�is�Mithuna.

[edit]Mythology

Gemini�were the twin brothers�Castor and Pollux�in Greek mythology, also sometimes known as Iabal and Ivbal.^[5]�They were the sons of�Leda�by�Tyndareus�and Zeus respectively. They were also the brothers of�Helen of Troy�and�Clytemnestra. They are known collectively in Greek as the Dioscuri (Greek: Διόσκουροι, Dioskouroi) "sons of Zeus."

[edit]Compatibilities

Generally, Geminis are considered to be compatible with other air signs such as�Libra�and�Aquarius. They are also considered to be compatible with the fire signs, namely Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, and semi-compatible with the "feminine" mutable signs, namely Pisces and Virgo.

There are many variables in the astrology chart that determine compatibility of individuals. The position of the Sun, the Moon, the planets and the aspects they form with each other are assessed by astrologers before judgment on compatibility is made. The signs listed as compatible with Gemini do not reflect an�individual profile�or�individual reading�as interpreted within astrology, but rather reflect a general guideline and reference to compatibility as dictated by variables such as�Qualities�and�Elements�within the Zodiac.^[6]�The branch of astrology dealing with interpersonal compatibilities is called�Synastry.
