I seem to have been bombarded with Gemini stories over the last couple of days.

A boy in the same class as our son, Gemini sun made another boy cry in the playground and when the crying boys mum asked him what happened he said "nothing" she then said "look he is crying, arent you bothered" and he just looked straight at her and said "so what". This boy has a very loving mum and gets good parenting, but he is so indifferent and cold, it sends a shiver down my spine.The other boys all look out for each other and show compassion and kindness, but not this little fellow.

I heard today of a woman who discovered her hubbie of 20 years had been having an affair with a woman in the next town. She confronted the woman and asked her did she realise he was married with children. The other woman replied that she was aware from the beginning and displayed a "so what" attitude. The wife was mortified. The other woman, I do know, and has been trying to get close to me, but I am holding back, something just doesnt click with me. When I was told this story, I wasnt told who was involved, but had a premonition it was this person - she is a Gemini. a mother of two girls.

My hubbie is always amazed that his Gemini mother "forgets" to send our son, her only grandchild, Xmas pressie and birthday gifts, and uses the excuse of "I was busy at work". She is one of the most indifferent people I ever met.

A friend of mine has a Gemini son, her own words are "Ive really had to work on him to be aware of the way he acts". She has a Gemini sister in law also and says "she doesnt give a flying f*** about things".

I am interested as to what this is with the traits of a Gemini. I personally have never felt great trust with the ones I have met - I dont wanna feel like this, but its just there. One of my favourite friends is a Gem, he also says he dont give a f****, and wouldnt hesitate to sleep with a woman whether she was married or not, he even tried it on with me once, although he is also friends with my man (what a bloody cheek).

I am just trying to gain an understanding into the energy of the sign - our son has Gem rising and I can see this strange coldness at times in him not to a great degree, but just glimpses of it - like he will laugh when something is very serious, I am hoping he will not treat others with this glibness.

Please no offence to be taken, I can see the huge faults in my own intense and at times somewhat pain in the arse sign, and I am just curious as ever. Love to all Sue xxx

this made me very sad when I read it. Mostly because so much of what you said reminded me of my mother.

She has no qualms about sleeping with a man even if he is married and has children (she has before).

I have been in tears before, in extreme emotional pain, to the point where I didn't know what I would do to myself and when I would finally break down and confide in my mother and try to seek a little emotional support all I would get is a joke. I've even called her on it before. One time I said, "look, I know you're funny okay. I get it. I've lived with you for 18 years, I know your funny. but now isn't the time to prove that to me. I just need you to listen." By now I've just learned not to tell her anything because what's the point? Im not going to get the reaction I need/want.

Sometimes I think though ... that she makes the jokes or seems cold because she is trying (key word: TRYING) to help, and for her own sake.

She doesn't want to see ME in pain, and she thinks that by making jokes and lightening the situation would help (b/c that's what would work for her).

also ... I think I'm a very intense person and I feel things way more deeply and more passionately then she does. As I've gotten older I've realized that it would be unfair to ask her to try and feel what Im feeling and how I feel it. I honestly think that if she had to experience/feel things the way I do for a day she wouldn't make it. It would be too much.

My brother (also a gem) is the complete opposite though. I can tell him anything. He may not react as openly as I do, but I can tell he takes the things I say/feel seriously and to heart and that means the world to me.

Maybe gems come off as cold because they just can't allow themselves to be so out there emotionally. Most of them gems I know are wonderfully bright, friendly, and witty, really good with people. I think if a gem stopped and tried to emphasize with everyone they meet and everyone in their social circle, they would go crazy.

thats surprising, i usually dont see too many gems who dont give an eff about things, rather its usually the opposite, that gems are so obsessed with things, that they cannot detach themselves,

a while ago natasha (Sthenri) was talking about her ex gem who seemingly was out to get her and was so obsessed with making her life miserable that the phrase 'didnt give an eff' would be the perfect OPPOSITE to his attitude.

in personal terms, i am too too attached in emotional terms to people, to values, i think geminis lack balance in that area, the area of emotional attachment/detachment, its a v difficult balance to strike

well i would never cheat etc but its true that some of the gems that i know would. the ones that i know that dont engage in such behavior and would be as appalled as urself sue, would only be the ones with significant fixed influences in their charts, otherwise a bit of water or earth, although i have seen the air-earth predominantly to be really obsessively attached to their significant others,

my ex best friend (lost contact) was a Gem with taurus moon, in fact taurus stellium. she was a strict conservative republican, family value person and would never ever cheat on anyone or condone it, etc. she was not at all empathetic, that ill give u. she scored maybe a ZERO out of 100 on empathy. when the tsunami him last yr i was calling all my friends while working with a nonprofit org. trying to collect funds, and she totally blew me off while giggling about how happy she was with her boyfriend (who shes also obsessed with). i was shocked at not her lack of contribution but just her simple lack of FEELING for the people dying in that situation.

my current best friend is a double gem with a couple of planets in taurus. she is v empathetic and a stickler for discipline and rules and moral codes, but she has been brought up v conservatively, with her taurus dad and a v conservative aqua mom

another gem/cancer that i know is v empathetic as well as very very clean and uninvolved in hurting other people, in fact hes very soft hearted and cannot stand even seeing or hearing about other people being hurt,

on the other hand i know a few sleazeballs just as bad as this gem/cancer guy is good,

i think it just goes to show that geminis are v unpredictable, and since the sun is mutable, as with all mutable suns, other planetary stelliums and influences can totally blow their personality out of proportion. its difficult to find balance as a gemini or even be moderate in anything, logic and rationale is something we can understand but find the most difficult to practice (!)

hope u find some better gems out there, some of the women past 25 can be v v empathetic, and the men with water influences have a tendency to be excellent, caring companions and very easily moved emotionally

Love

My mom can be cold sometimes and very critical due to her virgo rising and virgo moon. Honestly, I have met gemini's just the way sue described. I can't stand those b*tches.

I always stay away from them. Even the energy they give out doesn't make me feel comfortable.

I once read somewhere that gemini women would not be good mothers. Unless they at least have a cancer moon and rising. Thank god I have a cancer rising. My mom is definitely one of those gems I had read about.

My cousin who just turned 6 on june 20th is a gemini and he is the sweetest boy. Very honest and doesn't like to see people hurt. I consider him my twin since we are so much alike. His rising is capricorn and his moon is in libra.

Gemini is a complicated sign . . . ahem, they are two-faced. Not necessarily a bad thing, but one can't really get to know who they are like by random observations like that Sue. For another Sun Sign, it is possible. But Gemini is mutable and the sign of the Twins - Good Twin and Evil Twin. And rarely ever is one Twin loyal to other Twin, or will make concessions. Complicated, yes. Only parts of themselves are available for the spotlight and they hide away from probing analysis - like this thread . . . Hmm, only 2 Gemini Suns have replied. Isn't that kind of odd for such a normally talkative aura? Another Sun sign would have jumped in and tossed in their two cents. Like Libra or Scorpio.

I had a friend I use to work with who was a gemini. Everything in our charts were the same except I had a cancer rising and she had a virgo rising. She once told a secret of mine's to someone else and right in my face!

So I waited til lunch time to confront her. I said can I speak to you for a moment? She said ok. We went to the bathroom and I told her that I didn't appreciate her blabbing about my business to everyone and that i obviously told her because I trusted her.


She apologized. Since then I started seperating myself from her and another virgo girl slowly. They both started getting snotty with me. I confronted her about it and she said you don't even eat lunch with us anymore.


But after what she did the first time it really disgusted me. I hate people who betray me in anyway. I have had friends I have known since I was practially 3 years old! They are the ones I really trust.


I seperated myself even more from her. Oh well.

i know it can't be the virgo in her because I have virgo friends and get along with them very well.

Heh, Virgo rising gives a tendency to gossip. Sometimes it's all I can do not to blab my mouth about something. So annoying.

Heh, I've never had that problem with Gemini's. For me, it's always been Leo's. Funny. I thought Aries and Leo's would be complementary. Heh, I don't think I've ever met a Leo face to face that I could stand. Maybe it's just because I have no Leo influence in my chart? Except my South Node, anyway.

It's interesting that some of you mention the faithfullness thing. My mother has never cheated on a partner in a relationship. She has remained faithfull even after she lost someone.

but for some reason she has no qualms about being "the other woman" I don't get it.


and she is VERY two faced. Sometimes as soon as she gets off the phone with one friend, she calls another and tells that friend everything the other friend said.

I know I sound harsh but I do think my mom was a good mom, maybe she just wasn't the right mom FOR ME. Her and my brother get along famously. Same thing with her friends, people either love her, or love to hate her.

I think that's how it is with gems. It's like when you flip a coin, you don't know what side you're going to get.

Hi All! I think that it should also be remembered that, Gemini's are, by way of influence from their Mercurial energy, the messengers. With that, some situations and emotions can be taken and processed from a detached stance, allowing for a certain amount of understanding when information is then forwarded. Albeit, that understanding may only be personal. I have always had a very difficult time relating to the typical Gemini overview but the, I have only my Sun placed there..... I suppose my Scorpio Asc influences are very strong, as well. With Scorp Asc and, Venus in Taurus/ 7th, I can think of nothing that would completely destroy my being, than my partner being unfaithful. However, even with it being in my 7th House, my Sun keeps my mind open, so as not, to condemn anyone else for the same act.... not in my world but, circumstances are different in everyone else's. My Sun, also, leaves me to ask if the husband, who also played a role in having the affair, was confronted? Was he a Gemini, also? I do think that it is, extremely unfair, to pass or fail someone's moral code and ethic, based on a birthdate.... judgements, in my opinion, are for self and, by self....

Ultimately geminis dont' want to be figured out. The worst thing that can happen to a gemini is to be pinned into a box. They want to seem multifacted and complex, and this complexity is inherent in their nature.

What geminis really get off on is communication, and this is the ultimate purpose of their existence. They are born to communicate and relay information. This butts heads with human nature, as geminis are not the social robots they wish they were. They eventually have to deal with their feelings, at which point they sink into frowny gemini mode, which no one really enjoys at all. Balance is a difficult issue for most air signs, simply because they deny their feelings until the last possible moment.

I wouldn't say geminis are untrustworty or two faced overall, I think thats a stark overgeneralization. Faithfullness is indicated in the chart and the history, NOT in the sun sign. Gemini simply has the propensity to communicate with as many people as they can, this may seem to be flirtiness or unfaithfulness, but really they just love to learn and share. But they must curb their impulsiveness, they must think before acting. The high of degree of separation from their body can lead to discompassionance, flippance, and apathy. Gemini has to realize that the world is about the physical as much as it is about the mental, and that ideas and facts are just the beginning.

Gemini is also suprisingly loyal, because if you're a geminis friend, they'll always always come back to you no matter how hard you **** up. Geminis love all their friends, it is the sign of friendship after all. Geminis have brilliance of mind inherent to them, but they don't need to prove to us how smart they are, we know how smart they are. Smart. What it must be like to be mutable air? Just think about it for a moment and you'll realize why our gemini pals can be so snappish, nervous, and impulsive. Lets give em a break.

oh BR u melted my

it is difficult to be a gemini...we can be accused of being everything bad in the book, and you'll always find a Gem that proves one or the other case

and mutable air is kind of crazy...its like being the ugly stepsister to Aquarians, which is like THE coolest air sign. at least we're still cooler than Libras. jk.

Thank you BR for sticking up for us. We're not all bad...

I have a breezy, optimistic attitude towards life but I take my commitments seriously and, if anything, care too much about others because I soak up all their problems so they become mine too.

As for marriage and motherhood, I think I'm doing a good job. No complaints from hubby and son! I look after them very well.

And my Gemini son is the most touching, affectionate, sensitive child imaginable.

When my Gemini daugther was born, I was surprised because I'd never been around Geminis. I didn't know what to expect from this mysterious sign, the opposite of my sun. Well, she was a very active baby getting into everything and anything. Once, she dipped her little hands in coolwhip and made "art" on my new couch lol. She was very restless, and didn't sleep through the night until she was like a year old. Even now, its hard to get her to fall asleep at night. I frequently catch her with a flashlight reading under her blankets
She's very talkative and a social butterfly, and very caring and protective of those she loves (Scorp rising sun in 8th). I love having such a contrast to my own personality, its challenging and very rewarding. Hugs to all the lovely II out there.

I think a lot of geminis are superficial and shallow like that (not to generalize lol) but then again, maybe it's the whole emotional distance thing. I am a very empathic (and sympathetic) person, but lately, I've just had enough. It seems that everyone just wants to have a shoulder to cry on, but all the support seems to be very one-sided (and from my side!!!). Also, kindof like what themeanreds said, it would drive us crazy if we were sympathetic towards everyone we knew (not just geminis, but any sun sign!!). So we just end up being like, meh, whatever.

Plus, we're a very mental (hehe) sign, and it's a fact that if you think about any course of action for long enough, it begins to seem completely justifiable
