In ancient Greek mythology, Geminis ruler - Mercury, was the light footed messenger of the gods who darted back and forth across the heavens delivering news- which might explain why those born under the sign of 'the twins' are always on the move; Thirsty for knowledge and new experiences. Terminally curious and sometimes even mischievous, Geminis are multi-faceted souls who enjoy knowing a little bit of everything but generally not too much about one particular subject. Its just that variety is the e of their lives. In astrology Geminis have also gained the reputation of being the talkers of the zodiac.They are usually talented writers or have special interests in foreign languages.
