Gemini's looking for data

When I check my stat counter for my blogs to see if anyone is visiting and where they come from, I have an inordinate amount of visitors that are looking for "Gemini Today". It was 107 to 4. The other keywords that were searched for were my name or some variation on the zodiac.

Gemini's deserve some more information for their insatiable curiosity. I am not sure what you are looking for, Gemini, but I'll put something on the table. Eat up.

Gemini energy was hit hard in the past 16 years as Pluto was in the opposite sign of Sagittarius. Pluto - read below and elsewhere - is transformative energy, bringing change whether you liked it or not.

Oppositions denote that the changes were brought on by circumstances or other people; seeming like it wasn't YOU that wanted it, but were forced into it. A move, a job change, a relationship breakup, a death of someone close to you, are all changes that cannot be helped, but ones that might have been necessary for your positive growth.

Now, Uranus in the sign of Pisces is challenging to Gemini as a square. Squares are conflicts that bring about creative change. They're irritating. Pisces is a water sign. Gemini is air. Put simply, water is the world of feelings and the element of air is about thinking.

The Sun Sign is one's identity. Let's review some of Gemini's traits:

Natural sign of the Third House

Negative characteristics: Changeable, ungrateful, scatterbrained, restless, scheming, lacking in concentration, lacking in follow-through.

I have been married to a Gemini man for 19 years. I have 3 Gemini nieces, one of which is best friends with my teenage daughter, so we see a lot of her. I am familiar with the Gemini qualities, though not all Gemini's are the same, of course.

Ever since someone told me that Gemini's copy others, I have chalked that reason up to why my niece often has to wear the same outfit as my daughter, has to see how my girl's hair is cut so she can get hers cut the same way, and generally wants to do everything my daughter is doing. My girl never minds and easily shares friends and clothes, and anything else. She is almost two years older and appreciates her cousin's affection for her.

My husband is not a typical Gemini. Not with me, anyway. He's not talkative. I attribute that to his natal Mercury opposite Saturn. Mercury is Gemini's ruler, and in all of our charts - Mercury is the sign that rules communication. Saturn inhibits his expressiveness; otherwise, Gemini's are usually quite articulate.

As an air sign, Gemini is in the first quadrant of the chart as a relationship planet. The gift of gab is assigned to it so that they can connect people and ideas. Mercury and Gemini go hand-in-hand for getting that job done.

Hang in there with that Uranus square, Gemini. Manifesting ideas has to be done with feelings. When we focus upon something, using our emotions, we act as superconductors for bringing spirit into matter. Uranus is liberating energy and who better to go with the flow than Gemini.
