Hello everyone, continuing with our ascendant series, let’s start talking about the Gemini ascendant. Boy, are these people talkative. One major aspect of these people is that they love communicating. You will always find that there is some strong Gemini connection in the chart of people who love to talk and interact be it their sun, moon or other planets there.
Having an ascendant as this implies that as a first impression they will appear to be among the social butterflies. Their personalities have this charming, witty and intellectual touch. This sign is ruled by the planet mercury. Unlike Venus, the ruler of Taurus ascendants Mercury does not focus too much on the material aspects of one’s personality. It is important for us to know what mercury is about to truly understand Gemini ascendants.
Mercury in astrology governs one’s intelligence, communication skills and grasping power. For people, who have an adept mind and are quick learners will inherently have a strong mercury placement. What this means for Gemini ascendants is that like its ruler, these personalities are always ready to grasp knowledge. They are very inquisitive and curious of what goes around them. This makes them talk about everything and anything that comes in their mind. Like, I have said before the same feature can have a positive or negative connotation to it.
Similarly, this inquisitive nature makes these people good learners, well-educated and excellent information handlers. On the other hand, this same habit can make you too intruding in others life. They tend to over analyze each situation rationally, which at times may make them less tuned to other’s emotions. If you have a Gemini ascendant, some qualities to watch out for are anxiety and nervousness. Because you have so much going on in your mind most of the time, you tend to get fidgety and restlessness very easily.
The symbol of twins is often associated with the sign Gemini. In this scenario of a gemini ascendant it can manifest itself as a person having contrasting personalities. What I mean by this is, being so outgoing and social they tend to have large social circles. Now it may very well be the case that different set of people describe them differently and these versions might be pretty opposing to each other. This does not imply that they are fake or trying to conceal something, it simply means they reveal different aspects of their personality based on their environment and the set of people they deal with. So, while someone might describe them as an extrovert another person might consider him/her as an introvert. This characteristic of a Gemini can most clearly be seen in case of ascendants more than other planetary placements.
Since the ascendant is a mask one wears, Gemini ascendant people try to cover all their anxiety and emotions by talking things out. For them, to protect or cover up something they will try to rationalize their ideas by trying to explain it to others and ask suggestions from them as well. Being able to put their thoughts across is the most satisfying thing for them. Can you know think of a friend/coworker or family member who resonates with this. Most probably, they have a strong Gemini aspect in their chart.
This is just a brief introduction of what a sign, a planet a location holds for you. We will keep delving into details as we proceed. Coming up next is the fourth sign of the zodiac belt – Cancer. So wait for all that water and emotions heading your way…
