Twin for the win, welcome to Gemini season.
As the sun moves through the third sign in the zodiac (from May 20 through June 21) we make way for summer and lean into communion and communication; from the controversial to the convivial.
People born under these stars are marked by a ceaseless curiosity. Seeking to learn through language, they are oxygenated by the new and novel and interested in the extremes of human possibility.
Ruled by Mercury, Gemini finds conversation erotic and stillness stifling, they love to connect and their busy minds live for a conspiracy theory rabbit hole and/or a salacious piece of intrigue to dissect. They thrive in environments where they are stimulated, titillated and entertained. They would rather be dead than bored and a Gemini will always choose a ridiculous lie and a mysterious stranger over the honest truth and an average Joe.
Courters of chaos, they feel most alive when engaged in debate, laughing at their own jokes and/or committing petty crimes.
In honor of the inspiring, exhausting people of the twins, we bring you our list of famous Gemini celebrities!
