There are a few distinct lenses through which you can have access to zodiacal knowledge. The most obvious method is to learn about planets, aspects, and houses based on your own narcissistic discoveries through the lens of your own birth chart. This is a perfectly valid route. I’ve completed the task. It’s something I’ve done to myself, my crushes, and even my celebrity crushes. I was ten years old and anxious to figure out how Gerard Way, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, and I could finally make it work. One of the touchstones of my current astrological understanding was that romantic desperation.
But if I could start over, I’d start with the fundamentals: the ingredients. The 12 zodiac signs are split into four elements in Western astrology: air, water, fire, and earth. Each has its own characteristics and associations, which are included in diverse ways by the three signs an element rules.
You’ll have a good knowledge of every sign if you comprehend the ingredients. This will give you access to the full wheel of the zodiac. The planets in each sign become (kind of) easy to imagine from there. Even compatibility, which we’ll discuss later, becomes more straightforward. Earth and water coexist, fire and air coexist, water extinguishes fire, air hovers above the earth… It’s like a game of Pokmon or Rock, Paper, Scissors on a cosmic scale.
Of course, it was an air sign who first introduced me to this ingenious strategy. Air signs are both communicative and intellectual. They are experts in the ephemeral, or things that do not have a physical shape in our world, and this is especially true of language and knowledge. Our breath is the air element, and it is the most important and unseen function of our bodies. The Chinese zodiac does not recognize air as a traditional element; instead, it is transformed into qi, the ultimate power that pervades everything. The Air, which represents the East on a Wiccan altar, can be symbolized by anything from a feather to incense; the Air is untouchable and immaterial because it has no tangible material form, even in devotion.
Air signals are especially subject to their own personal projections because air is formless and lacks a physical body. Air signs are unrestricted by space and can fly everywhere, from places to individuals; as a result, they’re prone to total imagination. They prefer theory to practice and can become engrossed in continually thinking or talking about something rather than implementing it.
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are the three air signs. For the time being, consider each of them to symbolize a distinct stage of emotional and spiritual development Gemini is the first sign of the zodiac calendar, and Aquarius is the last, making it the most mature. So, in Gemini, we have a newborn, naive variation on air; in Libra, we have a teenager who wants to try everything; and in Aquarius, we have a cantankerous, old soul.
The twins are GEMINI. I believe that the things we dislike the most in ourselves are the qualities that zodiac signs have the worst reputations for, and poor Gemini is a constant victim of that unjust slander. In Paprika, one of my favorite movies, a minor character transforms into a villain, splitting into dual heads and rupturing his seam with cerulean butterflies. “I never knew this side of you!” exclaims the heroine, horrified. “I have many sides,” our doppelganger responds, “and that’s what makes me human!”
All of that bullshit about Geminis being two-faced liars is true, but we all do it to some extent. This is code-switching in its purest form. It’s “turning on” for work, having a “phone voice,” and avoiding the topic of your kinky sex life at the dinner table with your Evangelical grandfather. Our identities are transient and in constant motion; Gemini simply embraces this natural duality a little more forcefully and openly than the rest of us.

Is Gemini a fire sign or an air sign?
The four elements (fire, water, earth, and air) are used to identify and characterize the 12 zodiac signs in astrology. Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are the zodiac’s three air signs, and they are the zodiac’s thinkers, communicators, and doers. They investigate, synthesize, and analyze. They fly through life, never pausing to take a breath. They have a “live and let live” attitude, and their intelligence aids them in making quick decisions. These knuckleheads take the lead with their *brains* (unlike say, water signs, who lead with their hearts).
Because I am an air sign, I am not trying to brag, but air signs are the leaders of society. They have the ability to see circumstances objectively and without emotion clouding their judgment. They may appear cold or even unfeeling, but they do have feelingsthey just prefer to hide them rather than wear them on their sleeves. Ideas, accomplishments, and accurate information are all represented by air signs. They’re obsessive with the small stuff, and they’ll point out every typo. Call an air sign if you need someone to come up with a wonderful concept and then carry it through.
Your Superpower: Persuasion
The power to use mental, physical, or magical means to control, manipulate, or command others.
Gemini, at best, you’re a Superhero who uses persuasion to prevent violence. This method of persuasion can easily persuade even the most ruthless opponents to submit. Although your abilities are incredible, there is one flaw that you should be aware of: your mind. Because persuasion is so tightly tied to your cognitive processes, it’s critical to keep track of your objectives on a regular basis. Allowing your thoughts to race increases the risk of ego-driven subconscious manipulation. You will only attract genuine followers if you learn to focus your thoughts, cultivate awareness, and appreciate the power you possess.
What does a Gemini’s flaw entail?
The Gemini personality is a lot of fun, but it does have flaws, just like any other sign. Geminis are versatile, outgoing, and intellectual, and there’s never a dull moment while they’re around. Their flaws are indecisiveness, impulsivity, unreliability, and nosiness, therefore don’t divulge a Gemini your deepest darkest secrets.
#1: Adaptable
Geminis are adaptable and easygoing. They’ll try anything at least once, so don’t try to play truth or dare with them; you’ll lose. They’ll gladly follow any plan and are likely to plan some exciting escapades. Your wildest tales will revolve on your Gemini pals.
They’re also incredibly adaptable and can change their minds on a dime. They won’t let ruined plans mar their day; they’ll just find something else to do. Make sure to ask the help of your Gemini buddy while preparing events, since they often have the best ideas.
#2: Outgoing
Geminis are often gregarious and outgoing people. They’re the life of the party, conversational but not overbearingly so. They are usually intriguing to listen to. They’re rarely having a dull talk about the weather; instead, they’re usually having insightful discussions about life. Because they effortlessly begin up conversations with strangers, Geminis are excellent wingmen, wingwomen, or wingpeople. But watch out; they might outshine you!
#3: Intelligent
Geminis are incredibly intelligent, which explains why they always have intriguing things to say. They enjoy learning because they are inquisitive. Geminis frequently hold a book in their hands. (Request book recommendations from your Gemini pals.)
They’re also intelligent and enjoy engaging in witty conversation. So think twice about debating a Gemini; you’ll almost certainly lose.
#4: Indecisive
Geminis might be extremely analytical because to their intelligence, which can lead to indecisiveness. Don’t ask your Gemini buddies to choose a restaurant or a Netflix movie; they’ll agonize for hours. They may also feel apprehensive or nervous while making major decisions, such as relocating or changing employment. Because Geminis have a hard time committing, dating them might be tough. In the part below on Gemini in love, I’ll go through this in further detail.
#5: Impulsive
Geminis, on the other hand, can be a little impetuous due to their versatility. They can change their thoughts in a flash since they’re so adaptable. This personality feature can encourage them to make rash decisions and do trivial things. When Geminis are having financial difficulties, they may be enticed to acquire an expensive leather jacket for fun. Be cautious while using a credit card if you’re a Gemini!
Their impulsiveness can sometimes make it difficult for them to achieve their objectives. Geminis have a tendency to lose interest in what they’re doing and go on to something else.
#6: Unreliable
Geminis might be flighty because to their impulsiveness and reluctance to commit. If you make arrangements with a Gemini, keep in mind that they may cancel at the last minute. They’re not malicious; they’re just a little careless. At all costs, Geminis prefer to avoid responsibility and dull activities. You can’t rely on them to help you pack or move, but you can count on them for a good night out.
#7: Nosy
On the other hand, Geminis’ intelligence and curiosity can make them nosy. They are eager to learn everything there is to know about everyone. It’s wonderful when they push you to divulge your deepest secrets or when they give you the inside scoop on everyone else, but don’t tell your dirty little secrets to a Gemini since you never know who they’ll tell.
Is Gemini a rare sign in the zodiac?
Horoscopes are a sort of ritual for every Instagram-loving, Starbucks-drinking millennial. Every day, they control our love lives, our decisions, and our dress choices. Any astrology enthusiast understands that each zodiac sign has its own set of personality traits and behaviors that distinguishes it from the other 11 signs.
What’s less well-known is how common each sign is in the United States. The population is not evenly distributed among the various signals. Some signs are far more uncommon than others. Do you want to know how common your sign is? You’ve come to the right place. Framebridge just created a map of the most and least common zodiac signs in each US state, so astrology fans can figure out which state to travel to find their people.
Cancer is the most popular zodiac sign in 25 of the 50 states. Summer solstice infants are reportedly the most prevalent, which means you’re in luck if cancer is a sign you’re compatible with. Cancers get along well with Scorpios, Pisces, and Tauruses, which means they’ll have an easier time establishing friends and finding relationships, at least in half of the states.
It’s likely that Virgo is the most popular sign in your state if Cancer isn’t. These two signs are the most prevalent in the vast majority of the United States – 47 of the 50 to be exact. Mississippi, Georgia, and Virginia are the only states that defy the pattern. If you’re looking for a Libra or an Aries, you’ll have greater luck in these states.
If you’re a Capricorn, you’re part of an exclusive club. Around over 80% of the United States, infants are born in late December and early January. Michelle Obama is a member of this elite group, so while Capricorns may not have much company, the people in their category are among the most elite. Capricorns are a unique breed, known for their zeal, dedication, and patience.
The pattern of minimal Capricorns is broken throughout most of the South. In five and six states, respectively, Pisces and Tauruses are the most rare. Only in Hawaii are Geminis underrepresented. Finding an astrological doppelganger for these signs may be a little more difficult than for Cancers.

Who does Gemini get along with?
Look no farther than Aries, Leo, Libra, and Aquarius to find out who Gemini is most compatible with. Gemini compatibility is excellent for these four signs!
Gemini and Aries
In each other, Aries and Gemini will find a thrill-seeking, high-energy, and gregarious partner. This partnership is intense, and Gemini will sense an instant connection with Aries that has the makings of a respect-based relationship. Aries’ daring decision-making and readiness to embark on any adventure life throws at them will likewise be respected by Geminis!
The inclination of these two signs to never say no to their spur-of-the-moment aspirations will be something to watch out for. In an Aries-Gemini partnership, thinking before leaping is critical, and both will have to avoid the impulse to act rashly when disagreements emerge. When Aries and Gemini are at their best, they will channel their energies into worthwhile initiatives and activities, and they will seek to improve their patience.
Gemini and Leo
A Leo and Gemini couple is full of unlimited energy and enjoys being in the company of others. Leo is the social butterfly for Gemini, who will show up and show out with them for a night of fun! These two zodiac signs are both likable and well-liked, so they will have no trouble finding things to do. Because they’re so lively and entertaining, these couples are invited to every party, event, and get-together.
These two have a lot of charisma when it comes to talking, although Gemini can get tired of Leo’s penchant to talk about their insecurities. When Gemini grows frigid, Leo scurries out to lick their wounds since they don’t appreciate being shut off. In order for a Leo-Gemini relationship to be successful, a Gemini must be willing to offer encouragement and praise in order to build a Leo’s self-esteem, while a Leo must try not to take things personally.
Gemini and Libra
Signs of Fellow Air Libra and Gemini hit it off right away, most likely at an art display, a sophisticated dinner party, or the odd, eccentric bookstore around the corner. Libras and Geminis have comparable intellectual temperaments and interests, so they will understand each other on a basic level.
However, closeness might be a problem for these two, as they both prefer to withdraw as the romance progresses to a long-term commitment. They’re also not very good at self-control. A Gemini will not necessarily stop a Libra from engaging in unhealthy behaviors, and vice versa. This pairing has the potential to be wonderful if Geminis and Libras can cultivate intimacy without going overboard.
Gemini and Aquarius
Another very compatible pairing is Aquarius and Gemini. These two are flirtatious, energetic, and spirited, and they share a sense of humor and a passion for pop culture analysis. They also enjoy a good show, whether it’s at the theater or on stage, and they enjoy being the center of attention. If you’re enjoying a private meal with the Gemini-Aquarius pair you met at a party, don’t be surprised if they act completely differently. They have a proclivity for adapting to their circumstances, which makes them ideal partners (if not a little confusing to everyone else).
Both Gemini and Aquarius, as talented communicators, will eventually have to stop performing and express their genuine selves, which will be a big difficulty for both. To Aquarius and Gemini, exposing their inner selves feels like the greatest breach of privacy, yet in order for this combination to function, both must set their anxieties aside and take the leap into true intimacy. If they choose to make the effort, it will most likely be worthwhile: Gemini and Aquarius are a well-suited combination, and they will feel as if they are experiencing life with their best friend.
While these signs aren’t perfect fits for Geminis, they can have wonderful relationships if they work together to compromise, communicate, and be nice.
Are Geminis obstinate?
Gemini is a stubborn sign. Geminis are some of the most intelligent and adaptable people you’ll ever meet.
Geminis aren’t known for staying firm in their beliefs. They aren’t looked of as folks who are single-minded. The Twins, on the other hand, have a dark side, which is their inability to stick to a decision. Gemini are more stubborn than most zodiac signs, from ghosting someone they no longer like to refusing to change their routines.
What are the things that air signs are drawn to?
Compatibility of the Air Sign with the Fire, Earth, and Water Signs People that are open communicators, versatile, open-minded, honest, appreciative of their alone time and privacy, have a thirst for adventure, and want to have fun are attracted to air signs.
