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 a clear starry sky from December to May. It includes more than seventy stars, fourteen of which are very clearly visible. However, most often the constellation Gemini is found in the sky by the two brightest stars - Castor and Pollux. In ancient Greek mythology, these names were given to 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 nicknamed the "variable star". The thing is that periodically one of the stars begins to glow hundreds of times stronger. Unfortunately, this rare phenomenon can be observed only 1-2 days a year. Observing the constellation Gemini, astronomers in 1781 discovered Uranus, the movement of which for decades was tracked by one of the stars - Pass. In 1930, the joy of scientists knew no bounds - they managed to discover another giant planet, Pluto, not far from the star Vasat.

Zodiac sign

Moreone feature of the constellation is that the two brightest stars are very close to each other, which is why people called them "twin brothers". It is believed that men born under this constellation are softer in character, while women, on the contrary, are more masculine. Both of them are united by variability and a tendency to diversity. On the one hand, those born under the sign of Gemini are dual in nature, and on the other hand, they are easy-going, friendly and easily find common topics for conversation in any company. However, Geminis are not committed to long-term friendships 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 internal beliefs, but by the mood at the moment. Those born under this sign always try to bring their plans to life, and if something does not work out, they do not lose self-control and faith in their own strength. They are pleased with any surprises that fate presents. They are not accustomed to restrain themselves at unexpected turns of fate. Gemini is the patron constellation of new knowledge and developed intellect. It is especially worth noting the craving of those born under this constellation to learn foreign languages.

Gemini often suffer from their excessive susceptibility. Sometimes they attach too much importance to trifles and make an elephant out of a fly. Sometimes their thoughts do not succumb to the laws of logic, but to the characteristicthe downside is that Gemini can take on multiple tasks at the same time. Excessive haste in making decisions is the main thing that people born under this sign should fight against. Since the Gemini constellation is often identified with two very bright and close to each other stars, this "bifurcation" makes it difficult to purposefully move towards one specific goal.
