insights_into_gemini Dafremen The duality of their composition manifests itself in contradictory inclinations and desires, in restlessness, uncertainty and discontent. These people have a great hobby for fads, and are very enthusiastic, although their enthusiasm never lasts very long. Which often causes them to be dissatisfied with their selections and purchases. They appropriate the best out of things and then abandon them, in fact, are inconstant in many ways; want to do certain things and at the same time they are almost equally desirous of doing just the opposite. They are happy and unhappy, satisfied and dissatisfied, at the same instant. They pray for riches and long life and almost in the same breath they say they care for neither. - from The Zodiac and Its Mysteries Gemini Chapter 020426 ... Dafremen To the Gemini "Child", love has lost some of its early wonder. It is still needed on this level, more than is realized, but there's something mroe thrilling than love to seek now. Is it love that holds you back, tugs on one and keeps one from rushing out the front door into Life? Love, then, is perhaps enjoyable, but it is also restrictive. Gemini men and women have not stopped needing it or desiring it, but when love becomes a barrier to their freedom, they rashly discard it, forgetting its warmth and safety -- not caring that they may get lost and be unable to find their way back home. - from Love Signs The Twelve Mysteries of Love Chapter 020426 ... Dafremen They are well formed, having a general appearance of vigor and strength. Their arms being long in proportion of their body, hands and feet usually short and fleshy, high instep and swift in all of their movements. - from The Zodiac and Its Mysteries Gemini Chapter My research shows about 90% on the long arm thing, approx. 85% chance of small hands and feet, around 98% probability that they will be fast walkers. One thing's for sure...these folks gotta go Go GO! 020426 ... daxle as it happens, I am a gemini my feet are average, my hands are average (thin fingers though), and my arms are somewhat short, I think 020430 ... Dafremen You failed to mention all of the dead on stuff. Typical Gem...the truth does not need to be proven dear, it only need succeed in avoiding being DISPROVEN. My proof is in the relationship with the members of my family. Who could have known that my wife was absolutely terrified everytime we crossed the street downtown? I couldn´t have, I thought it was a reflection of her trust in my driving abilities (I won´t say that it´s not mind you) , it turns out it is a reflection of her VERY conservative nature and her wild imagination. It´s a Cancer trait which she happens to share with my other Cancer daughter, but not with either of my other two daughters (Sag and Aquarian respectively) who are both walk across the street without a care kinda people (like myself.) Anyhow my relationship with everyone I know personally has improved dramatically because I am able to recognize and accept their foibles for what they are and do my best to accomodate. (Seeing as how everyone´s so damned accomodating to me : ) 020430 ... Dafremen So what happened to this thing anyhow? 020430 ... mousie i am gemini, hear us roar 020430 ... Dafremen According to both Ms. Goodman and Professor Seward, Geminis are born skeptics. After much contemplation, I would like to take a stab at understanding why they are skeptical. The first and most obvious possibility is that the stream of constant disappointments in their lives leave Gemini people with little choice but to be skeptical. Gems are constantly searching. They set their sights on a greener pasture, use their incredible versatility, diplomacy and gifts of persuasion to hop the proverbial fence, then are soon disappointed to find the view from the new pasture frustratingly unsatisfying. What seemed so true before seems like a foolish notion today and so, many of them wander restlessly through their entire lives, never quite finding that which they seek. It's easy to see how such an existence would lead one to be skeptical of the possibility of EVER finding ONE truth and therefore to be skeptical of anything that claims to be THE truth. The second possibility that occurred to me is that Gemini people are skeptical because they often have a tendency to judge things and people superficially. Professor Seward in his usual straightforward manner had this to say: "In truth it must be said that the ordinary Gemini nature is APPARENTLY shallow and superficial. Their inconstancy, their lack of continuity and fixed purpose, their proneness to judge by appearance, their dissatisfaction with the realization of their own desires, their ceaseless activitiy, all this indicates a lack of depth and stability." At first glance, many things can appear to be true which in the light of scrutiny prove to be not-so-true. When you go through life judging at first glance, you're bound to face disillusionment quite often. Everything is as it appears, but nothing is as it appears. Paradoxical? Why of course! These are Gemini people that we're talking about here, and as my buddy Paradox (a Gemini) would say, "I'm a paradox, aren't you?" This brings me to yet another possibility which might help to explain the skeptical nature of most Gemini persons, the legendary duality of their personality. They aren't called "The Twins" for nothing folx. These people can think one way and act another better than any other type of person. Funniest part is, it's involuntary most of the time. Again, from Professor Seward's book: "It is often difficult to understand them; in fact, they rarely if ever understand themselves. One side of their nature impels them, at times to loving demonstrations of affection toward their aquaintances or loved ones, while almost at the same instant, they may mentally be indulging in sharp criticism and dislike of these same people." Gemini people aren't generally all gloom and doom, in fact, they are often full of enthusiasm and hope for each new undertaking. Perhaps the duality and contrariness of their nature insists upon skepticism as "the other twin's" answer to this enthusiasm. Brakes to go with the gas, if you will. I would like to conclude by appealing to you Gems out there to NOT give up hope of finding the one empirical truth. There is such a thing, and if any mind works hard enough to find it, it is the Gemini mind. You folks are generally inquisitive and intelligent, if only you could focus long enough to be TRULY thorough. Although your thousand and one ideas in a day may make the notion of one truth seem a bit confining for your wandering imaginations, there IS such a truth and within it you will find plenty of room to entertain your many truths. Paradoxical? Why of course! After all, aren't these Gemini people that we're talking about? You'd better believe it! 020603 ... sphinxradio i tend to fall for geminis. any true pisces knows this is a mistake. 020603 ... daxle I think your first theory is more right than the second one. I think its a misconception of nongeminis that geminis are superficial. I don't know about others, but I personally overthink and overexplore things to death. It's true I start a lot of projects and don't finish. It's true I'm always searching for greener pastures. But I think most everyone goes through that until they settle into life. I don't believe that there is any one empirical truth. I don't believe that humans are capable of understanding the whole nature of "life, the universe, and everything". (It's 42, right?) I believe in cause and effect. I believe in eternity. But I know that's not the whole story. I have to keep on searching because there can never be an end. And in this limited time, that's all I can say. 020603 ... josie I can't wholly believe most of what you've written Dafremen, being a Gem myself i'm still quite sceptical as you say. However I do commend you on your efforts with a through insight into the Gemini mind. You have given me much food for thought and i'm sure that as absurd as Astrology can seem to us all Gems, this Dafremen has really hit home.. don't you think? Thank you for shedding some light on what sometimes seems to me to be some form of insanity.. 020604 ... Dafremen Oh I think the abbreviated form of your Sun Sign name says it all. You´re truly the Gems of the zodiac. Just look in the mirror at those twinkling eyes and tell me that it isn´t so. P.S. Dax, in that one sentence from Professor Seward´s book, HE didn´t capitalize the word APPARENTLY...I did. I believe it was his intent to convey the idea that to all outward appearance you folks can SEEM very superficial. Fortunately, us Librans RARELY judge a book by its cover and so I know better. 020604 ... daxle Oh and lest we forget, our time is coming up! (june 11, 1981 for me- feel free to tell me what you think that means about me) And they always said that my eyes twinkled because I was about to do something devious/// Now I'll tell them otherwise... 020604 ... Dafremen Well of course it can only mean one thing....that a gro0vy chick like you would look even hipper wearing some dog_boot_company Super Star Clearpoly Pumps. With ample room to wiggle your freedom loving toes and a wide base heel for those Oops-one-tequila-too-many moments, the DBC Super Star Pump will leave everyone wondering ¨Hey, haven´t I seen that girl somewhere before.¨ Dog_boot_company: Helping superstars look the part since 1956. 020605 ... cancerian freakizh with doubts i've been hanging around a male gemini lately. are you always THAT flirty? i hope that flirty attitude means something at all. 021009 ...

I have MANY more to go...many. 021010 ... krimilda dear cancerian freakizh: we gems are always that flirty... always. sometimes we are misunderstood, other times our message is perfectly undestood... make your guess (but maybe cancer is too sensitive for a gemini, sometimes we can be very careless) 021011 ... ~gez~ flirty geminis yum .. wait a second. i am seeing a connection here, nat is a flirty gemini. but, i do not believe in this astrology and star signs. arg my mind is having problems 021011 ... *nat* Being a gemini, I would say I am extremely flirty. And I find it quite hilarious when ppl think is holds deep meaning, not just a mere joke. SHAME ON YOU PPL! 021012 ... Dafremen DISCLAIMER: As anyone who knows me is aware, I'm not into young folks doing stupid sh*t because they think they WANT each other in a loving way. Love comes with time and trial by fire and I think sex is just a stupid, shallow experience without love. Please hold off and get to know someone WELL before you decide to get sexually intimate with them. Knowing them well means seeing them at THEIR WORST within the confines of a romantic relationship as well as at their most attractive and enticing. It means knowing each other over the course of many months or, more likely, over the course of years. Sex without REAL love is like two people agreeing to be sex tools, objects for each other's mutual masturbations. Ok, enough of the disclaimer and the lecture...on to the good stuff. Daf - Gemini's sensitive arms and hands are very receptive to erotic stimuli. Light kisses, touches and fingertip brushes of this area will send shivers of delight down Gemini's spine. Gemini women are fond of handkissers. Gemini men respond to light stroking of their hands, especially the palms and insides of the fingers. As a prelude to lovemaking, try lightly kissing the inside of your Gemini's arms, starting with his or her fingertips and moving up to the armpits. A massage technique that natives of this sign find especially stimulating is to grip Gemini's wrist gently with both hands. Using light but firm pressure, turn one hand in one direction and the other in the opposite direction in a gentle wringing motion. Do this all the way up Gemini's arm and back again. Another way to relax Gemini is to travel the path of his or her inner arm, from the palm to the armpit, vibrating the flesh and muscles by using a circular motion on the skin with your fingertips. - The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need / Astrology and Health Chapter / Gemini Section 021012 ... oversensitive cancerian freakizh damn. flirts don't mean a thing. i kinda had a breakdown when i noticed that my gem flirted the same way with other girls. anyway, thanks about the sensual tips, daffy.. i suppose i can try to drive him mad and play in a cruel manner with his feelings (at least, in an astrological way). (NEVER EVER HURT A CANCER). 021012 ... Dafremen Someone once compared a Scorpio's revenge as a lightning strike out of nowhere when you least expect it. They went on to compare a Cancer's revenge to being slowly beaten to death with a dozen strands of boiled spaghetti. 021013 ... cancerian freakizh as long as it is to death, daffy. :D maybe i'll use iron spaghetti. 021013 ... taurean cresenctwhench Absolutly NOT gemini 030101 ...

Lint Lover (Here's how a gemini can drive a Sag crazy in one sentence) Truth...what's that???
