Meaning
Gemini is mutable air. Mutable signs close each season and adapt things for what comes next. Its traditional ruler is Mercury, which acts most freely here; the planet that rules the opposite sign, Sagittarius, is in detriment. Medieval medicine assigned it the shoulders, arms, lungs, the basis of the zodiac-man diagrams in old almanacs.
Practice
Workings that suit Gemini are timed with the Moon or Sun in the sign and opened in the hour of Mercury. Contemplate The Lovers as its gate in the tarot.
