20 Gemini Traits
The zodiac sign of Gemini, which falls between May 21 – June 20, is well known as being flighty, fickle, fun and flirtatious.
But there is a lot more to Gemini than simply charming the socks off everyone for miles around, so let’s dive on in and find out 20 traits of Gemini that make them truly unique.
1. They are clever.
As an air sign, Geminis are bright, witty, opinionated, and quick thinking. They are fast learners and good with machinery, technology and gadgets. They digest information quickly and like being ‘in the know.’
2. They are versatile.
Geminis are adaptable and changeable, as they are a mutable sign. They are also multi-talented, although the phrase ‘jack of all trades and master of none’ comes to mind.
They like to try their hand at many things.
3. They can communicate.
They like talking. A lot. In fact, you might even struggle to get a word in edgeways with your Gemini, because they don’t leave many gaps in the conversation. If you’re really quick, you might be able to jump in while they take a breath, but don’t count on it.
Ruled by Mercury, they are skilled networkers and charismatic conservationists. They are adept with words and good at all forms of writing, speaking and presenting.
4. Geminis are curious.
Gemini thrives on information and ideas. They tend to find the world endlessly fascinating. They love to fact-find, gossip and research (and nose about in others’ business).
5. They are young at heart.
Geminis are weavers of dreams and visions. They are perpetual children, maintaining their innocent faith in the possibility of a happier world some day. They have a simple, trusting attitude that allows them to enjoy life with carefree abandon. They have good humor and don’t take themselves or life too seriously.
They are the Peter Pan of the zodiac.
6. They are social butterflies.
Geminis love to connect, flirt, connect and display their wit and humor. They are good at flattery and capture hearts easily with their engaging dialogue and extensive repertoire of topics. They make new friends wherever they go.
They also like to party. Hard.
7. They are adaptable
Geminis are able to adapt to change easily. They keep their fingers in many pies and their eggs in many baskets and are always willing to try out new things. They are carefree, lively and independent.
8. They embody ‘duality.
As a dual sign, Geminis are known to have two sides to their personality and they also embody duality in other ways such as being both an introvert and extrovert.
This might be how they get their unfair reputation as ‘two-faced’, because they do indeed have two sides to them, however, they simply see it as being able to adapt to their environment.
9. They are funny.
Geminis are entertaining characters to have around. There won’t be many dull moments with Gemini.
10. Geminis are articulate.
Gemini’s are rarely lost for words. They are excellent negotiators, persuaders, story-tellers and thinkers. They are also efficient, organized and extremely fast workers that fit in well in any team environments.
11. Did someone say ‘shallow?’
Gemini gets a bad rap for being flighty and fickle, especially in relationships, and while it’s true they like variety, they can and will settle down with a partner who is intellectually compatible, interesting and who keeps them entertained.
They do try to rationalize their deepest feelings with thoughts, which can lead to misunderstandings with others. They can also be unreliable and difficult to pin down for long.
12. They have sharp wits (and tongue.)
Geminis don’t miss very much so good luck trying to get one over on them. They can be cutting too and not averse to a spot of verbal sparring. They can even be pretty merciless.
13. They get restless easily.
Geminis don’t much like boredom. They need variety in their routines and they flourish with constant changes of scenery and a fast tempo to keep them stimulated. They like to chop and change to keep life interesting. They are chameleons who adapt to the environment around them.
14. They are always busy.
In a meeting, Gemini will always be the one doodling or discreetly checking their email. They love to dash about, taking in new information and picking up nuggets of news or gossip.
15. They can multitask.
Geminis are capable of focusing on several things at once, even having multiple conversations at the same time. They will certainly be seen watching TV while scrolling on their phone. They don’t like focusing for long on one thing, preferring to jump from task to task, like lightning.
16. They are always in a hurry.
Gemini’s find it hard to slow down, preferring to keep moving, learning, achieving and connecting. They are spur-of-the moment types who live in the moment and relish new experiences.
17. They are playful.
Geminis love to play and have fun. They have a good sense of humor and light-hearted attitude. They are usually popular and gregarious social creatures with a vivacious and bubbly temperament. They will liven up any social event and they have a knack for bringing people together. They usually maintain a happy, positive outlook.
18. They like cars.
All forms of transportation appeal to Gemini but especially cars. They probably rate their driving skills, in depth mechanical knowledge and clever ability to park niftily in a tight spot.
19. They actually do sometimes need to be alone.
Gemini’s do like some down time to process their many thoughts and recalibrate themselves, so they can be elusive sometimes. They may also have dark moods occasionally and shut themselves away to deal with their feelings. They don’t do this often, or for very long though.
They will soon be back, chatting your ears off.
20. They are logical.
Gemini has a brain that likes to plan and strategize. Like all air signs, they think constantly and utilize their big, clever, airy brain to come up with their next moves.
Conclusion.
Geminis are go-getters who love to flit about, gathering information and spreading it all around, connecting people, places and things together and bringing messages of hope and positivity.
