The third sign of the zodiac is the constellation Gemini. Its symbol is two vertical columns that represent the gates of wisdom and peace. The constellation is easy to see in the clear starry sky from December to May. It includes more than seventy stars, fourteen of which are visible very clearly. However, most often the Gemini constellation is found in the sky according to the two brightest stars - Castor and Pollux. In ancient Greek mythology, these two names were carried by two brothers - Castor and Pollux, who became famous for their great campaigns with the Argonauts.
Interestingly, the constellation Gemini is distinguished by a curious phenomenon that astronomers have called the "variable star." The thing is that periodically one of the stars begins to glow hundreds of times stronger. Unfortunately, this is a rare phenomenon that can be observed only 1-2 days a year. Observing the constellation Gemini, astronomers in 1781 discovered Uranus, the movement of which was tracked for decades by one of the stars - the Pass. In 1930, the joy of scientists knew no bounds - they managed to discover another giant planet, Pluto, near the Wasat star.
Zodiac sign
Another feature of the constellation - the two brightest stars are very close to each other, so people called them “twin brothers”. It is believed that men born under this constellation are softer in nature, and women, on the contrary, are more courageous. Both are united by variability and a tendency to diversity. On the one hand, those born under the sign of Gemini are dual by nature, and on the other hand, they are easy-going, friendly and easily find common topics for conversation in any company. However, the Twins are not adherents of a long friendship and prefer to make as many new acquaintances as possible.
From an astrological point of view, this zodiac sign is characterized by inconstancy, duality of character, and excessive manifestations of activity. Often, behavior and actions are determined not by inner convictions, but by the mood at a given moment. Those born under this sign always try to bring their plans to life, and if something does not work out, then they do not lose their composure and faith in themselves. They are pleased with any surprises that fate brings. They are not used to restraining themselves in unexpected twists of fate. Gemini is a patron constellation of new knowledge and developed intelligence. Of particular note is the craving born under this constellation to the study of foreign languages.
Gemini often suffers from its excessive susceptibility. Sometimes they attach too much importance to trifles and make an elephant out of a fly. Sometimes their thoughts do not lend themselves to the laws of logic, and a characteristic drawback is that the Twins can take on several things at once. Excessive haste in decision making is the main thing that people born under this sign should fight with. Since the constellation Gemini is often identified with two very bright and close to each other stars, this “bifurcation” prevents it from deliberately moving toward one specific goal.
