What is a Gemini?
Geminis are born from May 21 to June 20. They are the first of the Air Signs and this gives them the most noticeable Air traits. Some people assume this makes them unrefined, but Geminis are exactly as sophisticated as they want to be, and they don’t apologize for their great qualities. Geminis are high energy individuals who have plenty of ever-changing interests and they love to surround themselves with a variety of different kinds of people. They are curious, soak up new things like sponges, and they bore easily if they don’t get the simulation they need. Their sign is The Twins, because they transform themselves and their lives so much, it seems like they are different people sometimes. Join us for an intimate exploration of Geminis and learn about the planet and element that rules them, their positive and darker traits, and all about their best love matches.

Gemini Traits
Geminis are one of the Air elements. The element of Air bestows some of their traits upon them. Air makes them intellectual as well as good with their words. This makes them the ultimate communicators, and they can talk most people in or out of whatever they want. They might be very persuasive, but they have a difficult time settling on any one thing they want to do. This is because they love to try lots of new things on a regular basis. Air makes them naturally curious and able to accept changes well. Some people call them wishy washy for this, but they insist it just means they are not stubborn or rigid, and they are able to successfully adapt in ways some other signs can’t.
Mercury is Gemini’s ruling planet. While Air gives intellect, flexibility, and communication skills, so does Mercury. It gives Geminis even more intellectual curiosity and Mercury rules the memory. It also rules perception and interpretation, and that is what makes Geminis so good at assessing situations and coming up with solutions. It also adds speed to the mix. Gemini’s may be seen as hyperactive or too busy flitting from one thing to another to focus for very long as a result. This makes them excellent multitaskers who take on jobs that demand high energy, quick turnover, and constant results. Not everybody has the ability to think on their feet and get so much done in such a short period of time, but Gemini’s could teach a PH. D level course in that.
Gemini Traits Female
Are Gemini woman traits different from Gemini men’s traits? Yes and no. Being a woman will bring an extra feminine touch to Gemini, and the traditional feminine attributes of compassion, nurturing, and sensitivity can be stronger in Gemini women. Geminis are notorious for saying a lot, and the feminine side of Gemini will be sensitive about how they say things. Rather than be blunt or harsh, the feminine side of Gemini will sugar coat, or tell little white lies to keep the peace. Some people may say this is schmoozing or withholding information, but they say this is how they make sure everybody knows exactly what is needed, and nobody is upset. Their dazzling sense of humor and charming ability to say what people need to hear to be happy will come in handy for soothing tempers and keeping everybody happy.
Gemini Traits Male
The masculine attributes of seeking success, being assertive, rising to the challenge of being a leader, and being independent may be more pronounced in Gemini males than females. This will manifest in distinct ways for Geminis. While they will still seek to say and do what keeps everybody happy, males may be more inclined to be less sensitive about hurting people’s feelings, and they may find it amusing if people find their bluntness upsetting. They may be less caring if they upset their significant other by flirting, and they may want far more autonomy. They love their friends and family just as much as Gemini women do, but they may need more time to themselves to explore their new interests.
Gemini Bad Traits
All the energy, tact, intelligence, and charm of Geminis might make you think they are perfect, but they have their own dark side. Some people call Gemini’s two faced because of their highly changeable nature, and indeed they can behave like your best friend one minute, but gossip behind your back the next. This doesn’t mean they don’t care about you. It just means they are struggling to keep their desire to share what they think aloud, and they must work on keeping things to themselves. They can easily be snared or manipulated by someone who fascinates them, but they lose interest quickly if they feel someone is shallow or boring. This can be good or bad. Just because a Gemini gets momentarily bored does not mean the new person they have met is a low-quality person, and they have to learn to get to know people slowly instead of jumping to conclusions about them.
On the other hand, Geminis meet a lot of people because of their varied interests and ability to communicate well, so they are rarely, if ever lonesome. This can be a problem for their partners or close friends, if they get sick of a revolving door of strangers parading in and out of their homes and social gatherings. Gemini’s may stray romantically because of all these new, exciting people they meet, and they might expect to be allowed to cheat on someone who they expect to remain celibate for them. They are so easily bored that they may ditch a perfectly good relationship if their partner is not entertaining them enough and they can move on from a scenario like this with no emotional attachment at all. They abhor it when people make emotional demands of them, and while some would say they are insensitive for this, they simply point out that they settle into relationships best with people who can take a lighthearted approach to life and love.
Gemini Compatibility
It’s not that Geminis are all about having fun and having no emotional attachment. It’s just that they attach in their own distinct way, and not everybody can tolerate that. Some people say that Geminis harmonize best with other Geminis and fellow Air Signs Libra and Aquarius. Other people say Fire Signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius make the best love matches for Geminis. While some insist that Water Signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are headed for heartbreak in relationships with Geminis, other people insist that Earth Signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorns are the least compatible signs for love with a Gemini. The truth is, no sign is a best match for any other sign. It is true that some signs naturally harmonize best with Geminis, but if both people in the relationship are committed, any issues that arise can be resolved.
Aries
These two signs make for great friends and lovers, and it’s hard to decide which of them is having the most fun. They are both adventurous and their high energy makes them want to travel, and experience new things together. Sex will be explosive between these two as they are both open to experiment and are not burdened with inhibitions. Both signs are open to unique interests and experiences, and these two can be together for life.
Taurus
The Gemini and Taurus friendship might seem impossible at first, but there is great potential for long term love. While Tauruses tend to stick with what they know, and Gemini’s are constantly on the search for new knowledge and experiences, Geminis appreciate having a friend or lover who is always there for them. Tauruses will love you for life once they love you, and while a Gemini might at first feel annoyed by all the attention, they can grow to love it. Both signs love for sex bring them together romantically, and both of them desire to resolve conflicts, making them great business partners.
Cancer
This partnering can be a disaster if it is allowed to be. Geminis can say harsh things when they want to, and they might think it’s funny if people get upset or hurt. It is a bad idea to hurt a Cancer’s feelings. They might stick around and tolerate it for a while, but there will come a day when a Cancer gets fed up, and they have a few things of their own to say. If this couple can focus on having good times together and Geminis can watch their words, this couple can work things out.
Gemini
Two Geminis together can be twice the fun or double trouble. It all depends on whether these two are on the same page about things. They are both radically independent and they both want to experience a lot of new things. If they both want to do all the same things, or at least some of the same things, they can be a couple everybody envies. There is a very strong chance, however, that they will be going in different directions from each other most of the time. If they can’t reconcile a lifestyle at least part of the time, these two might be better off as friends than partners or they may need to break up.

Leo
Leos and Geminis can combine to paint the town red and set it on fire with passion. They both love good times, and while Geminis need autonomy, they may have so much fun with their Leo, they forget to ask for alone time. They both love to laugh and live life luxuriously. They both value outspoken honesty, and don’t mind having a partner who doesn’t keep opinions to themselves. This is one of the best love matches for both signs.
Virgo
This pairing can become more of a boxing match than a love match. Virgos want to be in control and Geminis refuse to be reined in. Geminis won’t shy away from telling Virgos to keep their criticisms to themselves. They are both high energy individuals, and neither of them has much tolerance for being told they can’t live life as they see fit, so neither of them will be too tired to argue. If these two can be understanding of one another’s needs to be who they are, they can work things out.
Libra
Librans and Geminis are said to be one of the best combinations in the zodiac. They both love variety and intellectual stimulation as well as being lifelong learners. They keep each other interested with new things to do and they love to have long conversations together. High energy Geminis appreciate Libra's get-up-and go attitude, and they make great friends and partners.
Scorpio
What can be a passionate love affair can fizzle into hard feelings if these two signs can’t reconcile their differences. Geminis are chatty people who need to do a lot of different things surrounded by a lot of different people, and Scorpios are more private people who choose their friends and acquaintances carefully. They will need to balance their differences and compromise to work things out. To learn more about Scorpio, see here: The Best Love Matches for Scorpio
Sagittarius
These two get along so well, some people say they were born for each other. They both crave variety and fun. They love to include their favorite people in adventures, but they both need a lot of independence. They have a deep understanding of one another’s needs and desires, and this understanding combined with their similarities makes them a perfect match.
Capricorn
Capricorns come across as all work and no play sometimes, but they actually love to have a good time. Gemini provides plenty of good times, and new experiences that Capricorns deem worthwhile of their time. Geminis might come across as people who can’t get serious about life for one second, but Capricorns can help them focus on practical things. These signs balance one another well as long as they don’t let their differences come between them.
Aquarius
These two signs get along so well, some people may think they are one soul split into two different bodies. Geminis love new experiences, and Aquarians are always creating them. They connect intellectually and they support one another’s need to have a partner who listens, talks, and exchanges ideas. These two can be together forever.
Pisces
While the bluntness of Geminis might rub sensitive Pisces the wrong way sometimes this can be worked around because these signs share enough traits to work things out. They are both flexible and open-minded and they appreciate having a partner who is the same way. Pisces are the romantic dreamers of the zodiac and Geminis are turned on by this quality. These two can be the perfect pair and love one another forever.
When a Gemini comes into your life, you might wonder what you did to be so lucky. They are fun, smart, interesting people, and they have a lot of energy to go do amazing things. They will keep you interested, keep you happy in bed, and they will plan plenty of great times to take you along with them to experience. Life and love with a Gemini can be pure bliss!
