Gemini Zodiac Silver Coin with Magnifying Lens in Frame

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 spice 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.

The twins were born under the wings of the Swan, Zeus. Castor inherited tenderness from their mother. Pollux inherited immortality from their father. When Castor was wounded to die in a war, Pollux cried to Zeus, the Almighty, " Take away my immortality and let us die together." Thus, the twin stars have been twinkling side by side in the eternal sky.
