Gemini is the sign of "communication" - you'll often find a disproportionate number of Gemini Suns in the telecommunication, publishing, public relations, radio and news fields. They make wonderful writers and commentators.

These folks love to talk. Clever, self-effacing humor is a hallmark of Gemini funnyman Tim Allen. The jokes and laughter fly at a mile a minute, the influence of Mercury being strong in this sign. 

Gemini does take a bad rap for being shallow and vain, but the truth is that they are sensitive and easily hurt, so they protect themselves by keeping intimacy at arms length. If you take the time to get past the text to the data stream, you'll find they are really quite deep - they are thinking all the time, after all.

Gemini has been accused of being a fickle lover too, but you'll find no more interesting or engaging partner. Why would you want to tie them down? It would only stifle them, and make you both unhappy in the long run. If you are determined to marry a Gemini, make sure they have enough personal space so they can still feel they have some freedom. Angelina Jolie and Elizabeth Hurley are examples of the kind of spontaneous passion this sign is known for. Once they truly fall in love, though, they are capable of remarkably long-lived fidelity. Look at Paul McCartney. There are always exceptions to the rule, especially when there is also a lot of Water in the chart. The problem with Gemini is the impulsiveness the sign brings to nearly every area of life. 

Another area I have personally observed a Gemini weakness is their love for shopping. Consumerism and the credit card are Gemini inventions in my not so humble opinion. Gemini women are those women who have a closet full of clothes they "had" to have but have never worn.
