Your Gemini Ascendant

Your Gemini Ascendant indicates that you're an individual with an adaptable personality and, in many cases, a wiry, flexible physique as well. Your chameleon-like adaptability to changing circumstances and different people is often so pronounced that your personality and even physical appearance can seem startlingly diverse to different people, and from one time to another. You say what you instinctively know others want to hear. Your adaptability can extend to conscious or subconscious imitations of personality traits or the physical appearance of those you admire.

Gemini implies intellectual orientation. To others you may appear interested, but somehow emotionally detached. Your physical contacts and mannerisms can be quick and restless, and sometimes your rapid movements make it seem as though your mind and body are not connected. You can do several things at once while at the same time, appear not to be paying particular attention to any of them. Marriage can be difficult. For example, you can be too ready and able to entertain yourself, or the need of one partner for more personal freedom can undermine the relationship. Your marriage partner may require more passion and personal attention and less independence and intellectual analysis.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, planet of communication, which means you are likely to be extremely talkative. Even Gemini Ascendants with quieter natures are apt to have a great deal of intellectual curiosity. You absorb a variety of information that you are quite happy to share with anyone willing to listen. You can give the impression of mental alertness and understanding, even though you may not be paying attention or actually know anything about the subject at hand. How deep your real intelligence goes is not determined solely by the Gemini Ascendant. Possessing a wide spectrum of orientations and abilities, many Gemini Ascendants are excellent teachers, writers, scholars, and researchers, as well as those Gemini Ascendants who engage in the flimflam of con artists and the intellectual emptiness of imitators.

Manually dexterous, many of you are not only clever with their hands but have significant artistic and design skills. Your lungs and hands are physically vulnerable areas, and respiratory illnesses and injuries to the hands and fingers are apt to be common occurrences.
