Gemini is the third sign of the tropical zodiac. The Sun is in Gemini from about 21 May to 20 June, as spring turns to summer in the northern hemisphere. Gemini is an air sign, mutable in modality, and Mercury is its traditional ruler.

Mutable signs come at the end of a season and are linked with change and adaptation. Gemini's traditional keywords are curiosity, language, quick thinking, variety and conversation, with restlessness and scattered attention as the usual counterpart. Its symbol is the Twins, two figures that stand for the sign's double nature.

Gemini sits opposite Sagittarius on the wheel and shares the air element with Libra and Aquarius. By analogy the third house corresponds with Gemini: the house of everyday communication, short journeys and early learning. Mercury also rules Virgo, and the two Mercury signs are often compared: Gemini gathers information and Virgo sorts it.

Gemini is one of the signs drawn as a pair, and that picture is the origin of the sign's reputation for duality, a description that belongs to the tradition's imagery.
