Gemini - The search for the missing twin

If you are truly interested in exploring the Gemini personality, I suggest reading this article. It gave me the chills. It also gives history about the Gemini constellation.

Here's a few excerpts from the article:

Clients with planetary placements in Gemini, who strongly evoked the Geminian theme, helped me reconstruct my ideas of this archetype. My textbook understanding of the nervous, non-committed, chain-smoking superficial gossip, who had her mobile phone surgically removed from her ear, was deconstructed listening to the experience of grief and loss, which so often underpinned the Geminian placements clients were describing. Gemini suggests the first encounter with an equal, the awareness of another (a loved one or perhaps a rival), and the first conscious experience of being separate, experienced early in the familial environs. The pain of Gemini is borne from a severed connection to an ancient memory of being whole.

The potent feelings of grief, awoken by the separation from the other,
are interred and denied conscious access, becoming shades of feelings: a sense of
emptiness, something feels missing or lost, a feeling of incompleteness. Quite
commonly this ?missing' feeling is projected out onto the world, especially the world of equal others, as this is the world compatible with Gemini. This feeling of connection to the missing half, then, is often idealised as the soul mate (in the sign of Libra) or the bonds of fraternal or sororal love (the sign of Aquarius). Underlying many Geminian placements is often a feeling of profound loss or disconnection without any rational explanation as to why this feeling may exist. Yet these feelings become embodied in the nervous system as anxiety or a lack of concentration. Since the unconscious memory of separation is woken by closeness shared in an adult partnership or intimate friendship, dodging commitment is an effective defence against loss.

you gave JUST enough to trap me!!! I shall be reading...

The myth of Castor and Pollux, from the Greeks, is that one twin was in heaven, and one on earth, and they only met for one day a year or something.

Very sad. I can relate.

thanks for the share!

I do feel as if I am looking for my other half. The feeling is strongest when looking for a partner because what is most important to me is that he "understands me", which is not the typical 1st desire that many women look for in a partner such as looks or height because I know if he just simply understands me (like a twin would)I will love the way he looks.

I'm so with you msgem. That's what i had been searching for. I feel i have found him and our relationship is incredible. I don't know if it's because he has alot of gemini in his chart or what, but he totally gets me in everyway. and to have someoen i feel completely understands me is something i have never experienced. He just doesn't tolerate me, he really understands and helps me through my quirks and depressions.

Gneiss, do they have other zodiac descriptions like this one?
