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.

What is the zodiac sign of Gemini?
Geminis, the zodiac’s first air sign (and third overall), are chatty, information-gathering sprites-in-human-form who bring the most stimulating air energy to the table. The Twins are always inquisitive, passionate, bright, quick-witted, and friendly. They’re also adaptable and free-spirited, but may struggle with commitment and decision-making as the malleable air sign. They’re recognized for their ability to start and maintain passionate, dynamic conversations, fly off on unplanned journeys near and far, and bring the party vibes whether at a party or a meeting.
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.
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.
Who does Gemini get along with?
In general, fellow air signs Aquarius and Libra are the most compatible signs for Gemini friendships and romantic partnerships, as they have an instinctive grasp of Gemini’s mental nature. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are all fire signs, and they get along well with our Gemini pals.
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.
