Gemini Woman

If you love an outspoken, opinionated, whip-smart lady, then the Gemini girl is for you. Although she has an ultra-girlie side, it's matched in intensity by her ability to spit, skydive and curse like a sailor. Ms. Gemini is the adventure queen, and she won't sit still long enough to suffer fools. This is the woman who will want to try out for Survivor with you, so pack your safety helmet. She loves conversation and craves mental chemistry to match the physical connection. The Gemini woman does not suffer fools. Even if her comments seem nonsensical at times, if you disagree, you can expect a burst of temper. She loves to argue, and considers it a sport. You can't put anything past a Gemini woman—no matter how girlie she may seem, she processes data fast and makes a snap judgment quickly but sometime superficially. The Gemini woman's life tends to be a patchwork. One day she's an ultimate party girl, the next she's playing house. She needs to be understood—but as soon as you think you have her figured out, another facet to her personality emerges. The person she ends up with is a stabilizing force, well-grounded but with a bag of tricks, like Brad Pitt is for Gemini Angelina Jolie. Be careful what you tell a Gemini. She's ruled by Mercury the messenger, and she can be an accidental gossip or secret-spiller by nature. Mercury also makes her one of the zodiac's sharpest thinkers and writers. As the sign of the Twins, she has a gift for mirroring, and if you hang around her for long, she's sure to pick up your accent and mannerisms. Accessing her femininity is the Gemini woman's challenge. Because she's an air sign, heavy-duty emotions make her uncomfortable; she's fiercely independent and prefers to dwell in the intellectual realm. Beyond that, she thinks she's smarter than everyone else—and often she's right. Other times, this can come across as arrogance that both shocks and inspires awe. To grow as a person, she needs to equalize her logic-locked disposition by developing her deep spiritual capacity. With her mutable (adaptable) nature, she can push herself to be nurturing and receptive and makes an extremely creative parent. If she considers this journey an adventure—much like the roller coasters, Jet Skis and other extreme-living hobbies Geminis love—she'll be more likely to embark on it.

Gemini Man

The Gemini man is the original Peter Pan. He is charming, childlike and a lady killer in the first degree. His sign rules the mind and communication, so interesting conversations, a mental connection and intellectual chemistry are his biggest turn-ons. He can't be tamed by being backed into a corner; he'll bolt at the first sign of bossiness. However, he'll rise to any challenge with enthusiasm if he can use his innate creativity to solve it like a puzzle. Gemini men often look buttoned-down and unassuming, but they have an unmistakable twinkle in their eye. From the start, his attention will be divided—don't take it personally. His many interests and hobbies often pull his attention in a thousand directions, and as a heady air sign, he communicates through thoughts, not emotions. To get the conversation flowing, ask him what he thinks rather than how he feels. Solicit his opinion about a book or movie and read between the lines: You'll find his heart and passion. His interests and opinions are a metaphor for his feelings. He has discriminating tastes and may put up a smoke screen to hide his deepest emotional responses. Get used to it. He relates to the world through his sexy, suave intellect and is not the touchy-feely type (though he can be grabby and gropey, which will usually just irritate you). Don't take it personally if he gets more visibly excited over the Battlestar Galactica season premiere than your sexy new skivvies. Just dress up like a Cylon fembot and join him on the couch to share the excitement. With a Gemini man, you never know what will turn him on, so you might as well experiment. Need his help? Bossing, domineering and nagging will only earn you the Gemini man's deep freeze—and zero cooperation. Or, he'll just use cool logic to argue his way out of it, leaving you in tears. If you want to persuade a Gemini man to do something, make it a game. Give him a challenging, puzzling assignment instead of an order, and cut him loose. He loves to approach problem-solving with his own innate creativity. The woman who supports and celebrates his wacky process, providing both stability and plenty of rope, will be the one he adores.
