Gemini, in the third house of the zodiac, is represented by the Greek twins of mythology, Castor and Pollux. It is a mutable air sign with neutral polarity. Mutable signs speak to flexibility and going with the flow. Air signs are all about intelligence, mental faculty and communication. Geminis are ruled by Mercury, the quicksilver planet that links spirit to matter, soul to personality and represents the mind. So with all this flowing mental communication, you can imagine that Geminis are intelligent, talkative, quick learners, and information gatherers. They let their minds drive their activities, always probing, questioning and assimilating the answers to their many questions.

Geminis are talkers and are a great asset at parties. Although they are not as concerned with idle chatter as with stimulating insightful conversation, they will get a party going by attracting like minded people and engaging them in bright, quick witted debates. Thanks to Mercury, these Gems are clever and curious, ready to listen and learn as much as they are willing to talk. They have the ability to rationalize any topic to death, but can also tap into a deep imagination to embroider and embellish any subject as well. Essential oils that support a quick mind and help to focus thoughts are grapefruit, basil, bergamot, rosemary, cedarwood, cypress, litsea, ginger, and cinnamon.

Being represented as the twins, there is a dual aspect to Gemini: a yin/yang quality. This can give the Gemini a sense of being wishy-washy, changing their minds and moods at a whim. The mutable character of the sign allows this flow from one point of view to the polar opposite to happen without the Gem caring or even noticing. They can see both sides of an argument and argue each simultaneously. Having a dual nature, you are never sure which side of the twin is going to show up. Will it be the witty, versatile communicator or the scattered, flighty gossip… Essential oils that balance and center the twins are petitgrain, sandalwood, juniper, lavender, linden blossom, vetiver, myrrh and neroli.

Geminis are charming and disarming and they love to share themselves with friends. They enjoy social stimulation, but if they aren’t kept entertained, they soon become bored and fidgety. They follow a busy bee’s pattern – flitting here and there, collecting information and friends, then floating off to another place for more intellectual nectar. This can make them appear somewhat undependable, but the Gemini bee doesn’t care because he is in his own world of data gathering and out for himself. Because they are governed by their mind rather than their emotions, they can be self-serving, self-centered and yes, selfish at times. Fortunately, because they are so amiable, cordial and charismatic, you often don’t notice their failings. Twins are often expected by the outside world to be identical in everything they do. Likewise the Gemini is thought of as one being, but there are two separate natures wrapped up in one body causing the Gemini to often have internal conflicts (the two sides don’t always get along together). Essential oils that help connect the internal twins are rose, neroli, jasmine, sandalwood, ylang ylang, geranium, chamomile and melissa.

These Gems are the proverbial “Jack-of-all-trades”. Their dual natures support the desire to have two of everything. They can be found enjoying doubles tennis or any team sports. They love having their fingers in more than one pie and can even hold two jobs down with ease and grace. Often the Gemini resume reads like an encyclopedia of employment, in that they can’t seem to settle into one lifelong job commitment. The work they gravitate towards would have to stimulate them daily and change settings often. They would love a career that deals with languages, research, public speaking, publishing, media, writing, music, photography, teaching, counseling, even flying – anything that pushes them to learn more and communicate their findings. Geminis love modern technology and would be happy in a career devising new inventions, as well.

So, planning a get-together? Include a Gemini or two to make it stimulating and fun. But don’t be surprised if they take the spotlight and leave you, as the host/hostess, in left field. They love being center stage and the life of the party.

The average Gemini is a persuasive individual who likes to have things his or her way. Many people are attracted to this sign simply because Geminis are ambitious and often take on leadership roles. Although they’re charming and ambitious, they are also known to be stubborn.

Based on their personalities, Geminis are linked to floral, fruity scents, including jasmine, lemon, sweet orange, and neroli essential oils.

The perfect diffuser for the Gemini is the Vibrant MONQ, which consists of ginger, lemon, and spearmint essential oils. When combined together, these oils create a slightly sweet, slightly minty scent. The scent relieves stress, encourages creative thinking, and uplifts mood.

Greatest Overall Compatibility: Libra, Aquarius

Best for Marriage and Partnerships: Sagittarius

Gemini is symbolized by twins, and as you would imagine, can show Jekyll and Hyde-type mood swings at times! But they are also people who are learners, and they push the envelope physically, emotionally and spiritually. They also may sometimes lose focus and become inconsistent. Gemini benefits from gaining focus, tempering mood swings, relaxation, and sharpening their minds to help them push the spiritual and emotional envelopes even further.

Power Essential Oil: Cistus

Cistus is another deep and powerful scent that is very spiritual, allowing the Gemini to delve deep into their spirituality. It improves meditation and intuition, and increases consciousness. All the while, it also promotes sleep, tempering out the physical extremes a Gemini may experience.

Feminine Blend: Cistus, Black Spruce and Bergamot

Well-balanced, with a slightly deep sweetness, tempered with a woodsy spice and delicate hint of citrus. Emotionally balancing, increases focus, grounds and elevates, improves meditation and intuition, raises consciousness and improves sleep. Caution: Cistus can cause skin sensitization if oxidized.

Unisex Blend: Peppermint, Black Spruce and Cistus

A deep, lingering spiciness with a hint of a woodsy air. Sharpens mind, increases focus, grounds and elevates, improves meditation and intuition, raises consciousness and improves sleep. Caution: Cistus can cause skin sensitization if oxidized. Peppermint is not recommended during pregnancy or for children under 3.

Gemini (May 21—June 20): try basil, bergamot and grapefruit to stimulate Gemini’s intellect and gift of gab, or if you really want to focus on finding the perfect words to say or write.

Geminis can be the busy bees of the zodiac, too, flitting around from thing to thing. Plus, the smell of lavender is like no other – it blends very well with most other oils but especially citrus oils, like lemon, or anything woody, like pine oil.
