so I hear that Geminis like to talk, but this guy that I have a major crush on at work, used to be engaging and tried to get me to talk quite frequently. But lately he's been quiet, even when I try to talk to him, he seems to be trying to avoid me or something. Is it possible that Geminis can be shy especially around people that they like? He avoids eye contact with me while we do talk but when we pass each other we make constant eye contact, what's up with that? I'm real confused on Geminis cause I never really thought much of them, but this one has gotten my attention to the extreme. He's birthday is on May 23 which is on the cusp of Gemini and Taurus, does that mean anything? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not all geminis wiill always like to chat.


I honestly prefer a Gemini man with Taurus influences.


I have my days where I blab about 1,000 words a minute and I also have my times when I want to be alone and want everyone to *&$@ off.

Maybe it's the jekly and hyde thing.

While all Geminis live to investigate and communicate, not all are "chatty" or "social butterflies." Gems with earth influence, especially an earth ASC, tend to be much more reserved in demeanor, or prefer only to talk with a small group of people they know. Gems with water influence can be shy or unsure in certain social situations, and can be easily overwhelmed in stressful social encounters.

I have a Virgo ASC, and there are many times I just hate talking. I can write up a storm - but talking. Eh. I'm very particular about when I feel like talking and with whom. If forced to talk a lot during the day, and especially with people I don't want to talk with, I feel very taxed and need to withdraw (I also have a Pisces moon, so I'm easily drained by other people). I actually need a lot of alone time and quiet.

Also young Gems tend to be rather insecure. Despite the bad things people say about us, we're actually pretty sensitive. Our insecurity and sensitivity tends to translate into a lot of nervousness. But on the good side, Gems love humor and to laugh, and it's the easiest way for us to get over our nervousness. So if you want to break the ice with this shy Gem, I suggest trying to make him laugh a little.

Hmm that's really funny!

Two of my good friend share the May 23rd birthday.. yet they are VERY different.

My first friend, Kurt, has Sun Gem, Moon Scorpio, and ASC Leo. He is the last person to initiate conversations with people, although once you get talking to him he is so funny and warm. But he has a violent temper and he's not someone people would easily approach.

My other friend and roomie, Sarah, has Sun Gem, Moon Cancer, and ASC Virgo. She is much better at talking to anyone and knowing exactly what to say to them. She has been called manipulative MANY times, however, because she is so tricky with her words. I think that she would be shy when it comes to people she likes, however. Even if she wouldn't admit to it.

What's interesting about both of my friends is that they have only dated ONCE. Literally. It's so odd.. but interesting. And it's not like they haven't had opportunities, they just seem to really shut themselves off from the idea of sharing their intimacy with another person. As much as these geminis seem to love people and talking, they fear the deeper side of both. Superficial interactions are fine, and EASY, but a relationship? Run!!!

Anyway, pretty interesting. Let me know if you want more about these two!

It's all about the chase with a Gemini.

He engaged you in charming, witty conversation, until he made you develop a major crush on him, then he lost interest.

Did you bring up love, or marriage, or babies? [Even if only to mention a friend or relative getting married or having a baby.] Did you say something about soul-mates or destiny?

They have this Gemini filter in their ear that distorts your words.

When you something innocent like "My brother is getting married next month. It's so nice that he found his soul mate. Don't you think?"

The Gemini will hear "Oh Gemini, I love you; you are my soul mate. I want to marry you very soon."

This will be more than enough to send him running, in full alarm.

Ok so I have a bunch of planets in Gemini - Sun, Mercury, Venus, which at first looks like I'll blab blab blab blab.... but its in the 12 and I have Cancer rising - So quite shy at first! So the point of that was its hard to say with out knowing a bit more about the chart. He could have an outgoing mercury where he likes to talk a lot (like he did at first, maybe its in gemini,well aspected, found in the 3rd house, or an outgoing ascendant) and then maybe the word "relationship" came up, or maybe his gemini instincts kicked in and felt like a relationshihp was possible...maybe he has venus or mars in a more reserved sign like cancer or something and he became a little shy.
Who knows with a gemini!

Wow, thanks everyone for the incredible insights. It's weird but mostly everything that everyone said seems to pertain to this guy. I figured his sun, mercury, and venus is in Gemini; moon is in Aquarius; mars in Pisces and I don't know his birthtime so I don't know his ASC.

The last two weeks got me questioning whether he was getting bored of me, or like BerrySweet said if I mentioned anything of love or marriage (I haven't mentioned anything like this, since I learned he is a Gem, I've kept our conversations light-hearted) But this week he's been really engaging and making a lot of eye contact when I talk to him.

I've already asked him once if he would like to hang out after work one day, but he "claimed" that he was spent and wanted to go home and relax (on a Friday night!?). I don't want to ask again because I hate getting turned down.

I mean should I even bother asking again? I know that if I don't like someone and they ask me out to do something, I usually make up an excuse to avoid hanging with them, but that's just me and my Piscean way. I'm not sure how to read Geminis, usually my intuitions are on, but sometimes I feel that when I like someone my perceptions get a bit distorted. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't waste my time and move to something better, but everytime I see him I fall over again.

I think I should also mention that he is upper management and I've only been working there for about 5 months..

wow I just rambled for awhile, sorry...

Thanks again for everyone's response, I love this site and all the posters!!!

His Venus is in Gemini too? In that case, you most certainly should not ask him again.

Why do you say that BerrySweet?? I read a little on venus in Gemini, are you saying that they prefer the chase over the real thing? I guess I could just play it by ear and keep up with the conversations.

hahah that's funny venus!! I'd like to flirt more, but I just don't know, everytime I'm around him I choke up and get embarrassed to do anything. He's already winked at me twice but I could never get the courage to wink at him, jeez I guess it's because my mars is in Pisces (his as well).

*sigh* Geminis are so confusing.

I think I can emphathize with you, but was wondering what your placements were. All of them.

Could you either cut & paste your PORTRAIT tables from astro.com in a post here? And/Or, post the image of your Wheel. I'm assuming you know the drill when it comes to doing all that cz we post this so much to each other, but if you are yet unaware, feel free to ask.

I have a feeling of what's going on, in the way you portray your insecurity, but I really want to see what direction any of this has the chance of taking. I don't mean it to sound doomed, what I mean by "chance" is by taking into consideration tried-and-true observations in which someone might say, here's an example of how you shouldn't use astrology to fool anyone. You know? Like I mentioned in another thread, astrology can be a great healer in helping us understand some universal laws which keep certain things from ever fully rooting.

It's always amazing to me how Pisces' gals constantly question what to do in these kinds of situations, i.e., co-workers, mistresses, etc. So to that extent, I would probably speak for many in that no one wants to see you get hurt.

I know that if you post more of your astro info like I mentioned above, I'll want to take an honest look, and perhaps post more. Based on the info I have so far, my Ascendant is at Taurus 29.50 Degrees (almost in Gemini), and as you know, the Ascendant is the most sensitive timewise. If your time of birth is off by just a tad, your Ascendant is more sensitive to that than your Sun. Ascendants change every 2 hours, while the Sun changes approx every 30 days.

Nevertheless, I feel that "Cusp" tug between Taurus/Gemini when it comes to all things Ascendant.

I REALLY like the link Venusian Love provided (which surprised me cz I'm not particularly crazy about the navigational/informational mess astrology.com has become) -- but although NO interpretation is perfect, the astrological essence comes through strong and clear.

Gemini's like to feel they are included in any circle they choose, and even those they don't choose. Taurus are also people-oriented when it comes to COMFORT. You know what they say about feeling welcomed into a Taurus' home, male or female ...

The Gemini energies in this guy seem to want to pull you out of yourself a little bit, then the Taurus energies just want to make sure he hasn't lost you in the process.

If you have a crush on him which is NOT reciprocated, to him that would be equal to having possibly lost you, if that makes any sense.

If he does dig you, he's either trying to be discreet cz you's at work, or he's one of those treasured romantics with weird yet fascinating colors in his heart. If he's the latter, believe me, he's used to your response. If he's just trying to be discreet, he'll take that to a level you'll learn from.

I appreciate everyone's honesty, you're getting great feedback seapisces.

Hey Astrojunkie, sorry for not being able to put my chart on here, still can't figure it out. But I just used a program to get the positions of the planets.

I really liked what you said about the Gemini in him trying to pull me out of myself but the Taurus wants to make sure he didn't lose me.

In the beginning he used to try get me to talk or spring topics on me trying to get me to engage, but found it hard to keep up. He soon waned out and wasn't as engaging. Then one day I woke up really late and arrived at work late, I think he might have thought that I wasn't happy there so he started to talk with me a bit more, even showing up at the office when he was suppose to be out all day at meetings to catch me and chat.

I think my intutions are quite on the dot, I have many water elements all over my chart. But I'm not so sure, I'm still new to all this and I want to learn more about myself and all the other signs.

any advice?

seapisces -

From the astro info I've seen of him and of you, I think there's a connection trying to play out. Just because there is a connection does NOT always mean it is wise to pursue areas which are better left alone. That's an area free-will manages, and so, it is individually up to him and yourself.

Is he much older than you? Is he not only your co-worker (upper management at that), but is he also married?

I mean, I don't really need to know the answers, that's the dirty nitty gritty of life, and you two get to live with your decisions and consequences.

These types of potential relationships which never seeem to get off the ground are romantic in itself because you never get what you want, and you'll never know how it would have ended up. Sort of, in the same way we as humans put someone up on a pedestal when they've died young, type thing. Or if we were very young when a grandparent died, type thing.

At some point you'll have to admit to yourselves what is really going on, or it can turn into a fantasy which never stops gnawing at your brain. Acknowledge and preserve what you have while you have it! Bust a move!
