Gemini I

The Gemini I period takes Freedom as its central image. This period can be symbolically compared to a time in a young person's life when striving for independence and freedom of thought become very important. High rebelliousness is often part of this process; injustice is keenly felt and all forms of tyranny despised. However, by only defining a stance against certain established attitudes, some people at this age can be actually limiting their horizons rather than expanding them.

According to The Grand Cycle of Life, Gemini I falls approximately at the age when most teenagers are in the thick if high school. Consequently, the days which comprise Gemini I reveal an individual expressing individuality, enlarging on social and financial skills, cultivating the ability to assess the worth of things and dealing with problems of a personal and intellectual nature. Ideas and ideals come to have particular importance. This period of life can be espectially painful for those who are unable to fit in with the crowd.

The Gemini I Personality

Gemini I people are fighters who stand up for what they believe in. Should they adopt an overtly combative stance they are, of course, sure to arouse antagonism. Because of their strong beliefs concerning freedom of action and thought they often wish not only to protect those disenfranchised or downtrodden members of society but also to liberate them from their oppressors.

Gemini I's are usually in constant and rapid motion. They do not like to waste time in needless discussion. Most often they take the attitude that if they are not quickly understood then that is the other peson's problem. The swiftness of their thought processes often mirrors a heightened state of activity. The technical abilities of Gemini I's are usually well developed and many born in this period possess remarkable hand-eye coordination, making them skillful in all sorts of crafts and artistic pursuits.

Because they can move so quickly from one thought or project to the next, Gemini I's may leave a trail of unfinished projects behind them. However, having children or taking on weighty long-term concerns may eventually force them to face the responsibilities of maintenance, care and upkeep. What at first seems an imposition of limitation and burden may in fact be just the impetus for Gemini I's to blossom as people and put their talents to truly constructive use. Without such responsibilities, those born in this period may wind up indulging in all sorts of erratic behaviour or even getting into deep trouble.

Gemini I's will generally have to develop a means of dealing with their aggressions. Repressing them inevitably leads to depression, expressing them directly to friction and strife. Physical activities may prove very uselful in this respect, both as outlets and for grounding more chaotic energies. In any case, seeking out and responding to challenges seems essential for the health of Gemini I's. They suffer greatly when there is little to do or when isolated from those who share their interests and concerns.
