Western zodiac
Gemini
Gemini May 21 – Jun 20 (approximate) · Air · Mutable
Traditional ruler: Mercury
You think in conversations and learn everything twice.
Gemini energy is read as curious and quick — collecting people, ideas and conversations. You may be the connector in your circle; the growth edge is depth — staying past the interesting first chapter.
Dates are approximate — sign transitions vary slightly by year and time; your exact sign is calculated astronomically.

Gemini as Sun, Moon and Rising
The same sign plays three different roles depending on where it sits in a chart:
- ☉ Sun — your core identity
- A core built on exchange — you become yourself out loud, in dialogue.
- ☽ Moon — your emotional needs
- You process feelings by talking them through; silence reads as distance.
- ↗ Rising — how you meet the world
- You come across as quick, light and easy to talk to — people open up fast.
