Assigning Blame unto the Stars

Dang it!

All of this is so true to form. This is a personality description of a gemini and it's like bread with butter, if you ask me.

"After the heaviness of Taurus comes the airy agility of Gemini, the Twins. Taureans are bound to the earth, to the literal and concrete, but Geminis soar in the ether of abstractions, ideas, and - most of all - words. The Twins are the zodiac's wordsmiths, the lovers of language, the poets and bards, the verbal magicians. In the zodiacal quadrant where Gemini falls, Aries initiates life's energy, and Taurus gives it solidity and form. The Twins expand it, extend it, and turn it toward interconnection and communication. Astrology holds that they are the nerve synapses of culture, the facilitators who coordinate information and pass it along.


Gemini, ruled by the planet Mercury, weds a silver tongue to quickslivered temperament. Twins crave experience, variety, mobility, change, company, banter, and intellectual play. They are endlessly curious and experimental. They loathe routine, and fear stagnation. They are generalists; they can, and usually do, suggest cogent opinions on almost any subject, although their knowledge is apt to be superficial. Mentally quick, they nonetheless often lack the Taureans' capacity for deep, productive, singly-focused thought. Befitting their sign, the Twins are skilled at seeing two-sides, or all sides, of a topic.


In love they are dubious partners, characteristically flighty and inclined to be overly intellectual, clinical and cold. They may be sexually curious, but are seldom truly sensual. Geminis like to keep their options open and their commitments light. For them, deep involvement is tantamount to entrapment.


The Twins are venturesome. A Gemini in a family is the member most likely to leave home in search of a larger arena for his or her own talents and appetites. It is the Twins' bane that once they find their wider world, they may feel achingly alone in it, despite their extroversion. Given their charm, ready wit, and facility with words, they can easily present themselves as capable and confident. Only those closest to them are likely to see the insecurity that their confidence masks. The troubled actresses Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe were both Geminis.


The Twins seldom take themselves very seriously. They are often actors, in life as well as profession. they like to experiment with roles, discarding them as the glamour wears thin or new possibilities beckon. Gemini also boasts a number of diplomats and word-wielding politicians under its aegis - John F. Kennedy was one - along with a large number of writers, especially of long books. Thomas Mann and William Styron are among many Gemini authors.


Gemini is the zodiac's Adolescent. The advantage of this characteristic is that Geminis usually stay young in spirit throughout their lives. They retain their sense of humor and stay mentally flexible and open to new ideas. Nevertheless, the Twins fear age. Ironically, they often come into their own in the middle years, when they have learned to distill what is important from what is idly charming. Until they reach this point they must struggle with the sign's particular demon: all talk, no action. Word bestotted Geminis are forever beset by ephemeral enthusiasms. For them, to discuss an idea is wonderful and magical, but to implement it is tiresome. They are the masters of the half-finished project, the thought abandoned short of fruition once talking stops and tedious work begins.

The Twins' manifest intellectual gifts often bring them great success with no real effort - but they are hard put to sustain it. Thus the chore of Geminis is to learn perserverance and clutivate depth. They must aspire to substance as well as style. They must take themselves and their words seriously."

It's a neat site, so check it out!

yes, write a book.
that description reminds me of a tarot card i pulled like 20,000 times in a row. it was the prince of swords: ...clever but unstable of purpose, with an elusive and elastic mind supporting various and contradictory opinions. he slays as quickly as he creates.

for whatever it's worth.

and yes, i love bjork and radiohead both. dearly.
