Gemini star sign traits and personality
A Gemini tends to be insightful, smart, cheerful, quick-witted, warm and charming.
However, they can also be too fickle, gossipy and their symbol of Twins has led to many assumptions that they can be two-faced.
Other character traits include being expressive and being extremely curious about the world around them.

What is the Gemini zodiac symbol?
Gemini is represented by the twins Castor and Pollux.
In the Greek myth, Pollux was the son of Zeus and Leda, while Castor was the son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, and Leda.
When Castor, being mortal, died, Pollux begged his father to grant him immortality, and the two reunited in the heavens and became the Gemini constellation.
What does Gemini like getting up to?
Partying - They don't have an off button and love a party. Whatever they see as partying comes above anything else on their schedule whether it be nightclubbing, a house party or a trip to the pub.
Reading and writing - Words are their inspiration. They love to communicate and want all the knowledge on all the subjects to be prepared for any eventuality in the future.
Travel - Geminis come alive when travelling and it instantly puts them in a better mood. They immerse themselves in other cultures but never stand still for long. They ideally want to travel the globe and see it all.
Making friends - They see people as information so try their hardest to spread their net far and wide. They can be overwhelmed by the responsibilities of having so many friends though and will often cut them from the bottom if they don't see them as priority friends. Brutal!

Gemini turn ons
Known for their complicated personalities, Geminis can act the complete opposite way to what they actually feel.
It is for this reason you are often attracted to those who are standoffish as you like the challenge of trying to win them over as you are outraged by their disinterest.
Geminis love intellect and are taken in by those with sharp, shrewd, creative and wise personalities.
They are ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and travel and they like their dates to reflect this.
Adventures, exploration and missions are what they live for and Geminis can't get enough of visiting, meeting and learning about new things.
Geminis must have a partner who wants to explore like them.
Gemini turn offs
A lack of interest - Whether it be the world, celebrity, other cultures or politics, not being interested baffles you.
You love to examine, analyse and look at everything from all the different angles.
You are quick to write off people that aren't engaged or curious about the world we live in.
Clinginess - You cannot stand someone needing your attention at all times and it drives you mad.
Someone who wants to be with you at every waking moment and gives you compliments all the time turns you off big-time.
