My grandfather Gemini is a manipulative bastard.

3 stories. 3 different people. 3 similar traits. 3 similar endings. Astrology is real LOL
My grandfather is Gemini and my ex boss is Gemini. I will tell what my grandpa did, because ex boss adopted the same strategy.
My grandpa owns a farm in a small town were I born. He has 3 children: my mother (gemini) and my 2 uncles (scorpios). My grandpa was never the ideal husband, just liked to go to the bar playing some cards and heavy gossip about every living person on earth. While he is out playing cards and drinking beer, his 2 sons (scorpios) are working hard to him in the farm, around 12 hours a day. My 2 uncles were getting older, and they realized my grandpa never paid them for the hard work, always saying that things were hard (but the party all night long go on huh?).
Somehow (don't ask me how), my Gemini grandpa managed to seduce my uncles to sign a white paper for him, saying that were a "bank issue". That paper allowed to buy one tractor and to pay some bills at the bank, all of that not in his name, but my uncles names.
So here we are 2013. My uncles have 40 and the other 32 years old. They never got paid a salary. They still work for the manipulative bastard. Both of them plan revenge, but SOMEHOW my grandpa seduces them to believing in his lies. And all these years, the party and gossip across bars never stopped.
Any similarity with real life IS NOT coincidence LOLOLOLOLOL
Do you know any Gemini manipulation/persuasive stories?

smh

As a man sow, shall he reap.

If your uncles never get a salary, how do they survive?

Besides. It's hard to imagine a scorpio being manipulated and treated that way.

*truecap* My 2 Scorpio uncles lives in the farm with him, they don't have salary but never missed plenty of food in the table, never missed 10 bucks to go see that party at saturday, and so on. I know it's hard to believe a Scorpio being THAT sheep, but you can see the PERSUASIVE POWER of those Geminis though.
Another thing I noticed: Geminis have this POWER of persuasion and arguments, but they usually can't avoid using this power for the bad.
They also make bunchs of promises that SOUND SO GOOD to the ears, but you can count how many times they actually realized what they said. My grandpa did, my ex boss did, my mother did.
I waited for their promises become true, I worked hard believing that *hit, and nothing ever changed. Cheap people as always. But their promises are like the CHANT OF THE SIRENS.

He could just be a manipulative person. Nothing to do with a sign, you know?

I never knowingly manipulated anyone. Because I don't like it done to me!

+Infinity

Might need to post their full chart. I have never met (including myself) a Gemini that was manipulative. It's just not in our nature. We don't care enough to be let alone have the patience to pull off something as trying as this. Our minds can't sit still enough to conjure up some ridiculous manipulative activity. Is he on the cusp of Cancer? Because Cancers are KNOWN manipulators. I think you should get more information before you post it based on JUST the sun sign with out the rest of the placements or aspects.

Sounds to me the negativity in some of the retort is because people are dealing with UNEVOLVED Gemini's. And as much as I don't like saying this male Gemini's come around much later in life if at all.

Gemini is the sign of communication..

ROFL! From my experiences, they're anything but good communicators.

While not all the Geminis I've come across have been manipulative, they've been secretive and dishonesty to varying degrees.

I find the women to be two-faced, childish and very insecure. The men are just weasels or snakes in the grass.

Good communicators? More like with themselves or, outside of that, when the mood suits them.

Yes, especially the dishonesty part. I figure the lying is just their way of stirring up some excitement for themselves. And it's just too frustrating when they jump from side to side, avoiding any issue. Their unwillingness to compromise is annoying as well

Your grandfather isn't so much "manipulating" as exploiting your uncles' character flaws for his own gain. I'll do that, too (although you've given a pretty extreme example, here).

Scorpios are hard workers and are forgiving of their loved ones to a fault. They will do most anything for people they love, and take abuse that they would NEVER accept from a stranger. Your grandfather is being criticized for acting like a Gemini, but your uncles aren't being criticized for acting like Scorpios. Without both sides' participation, none of this would be happening.

Maybe your grandpa needs to be less selfish, but your uncles definitely need to grow some balls.

LOL! I think some are mad that they got manipulated. You allowed yourself to. I think Only Virgos can handle Gem and NOT be manipulated. However, I think Scorps may be the master manipulators and Aries women a close second... ijs

This isn't a gemini thing. This is a moral thing. Gemini men have nothing on a water signed man (or woman) in the manipulation department. Granpa just sounds like an old coot whose looking (right or wrong) for his family to carry the business. That's my take on it. Maybe it's time for the rest of the family to step up to the plate so grandpa can chill at the bar with his friends? Of course, your uncles should be paid for their work at keeping the farm going. But I do have compassion for your grandpa because he is a grandpa and shouldn't have to work until his last breath. Just my opinion.
