| Individuals born under this sign are thought to be joyful, good natured, broad minded, experimental, radiant, friendly, enthusiastic, flexible, gentle, spontaneous, and a verbal character. The Gemini is prone to unreliability, fickleness, duality, insincerity, self-focus, and restlessness. They are also characterized as being pushovers, emotionally shallow, positive, extroverted, outgoing, manipulative, self absorbed, creative, moody and two faced people. Gemini's are dual minded people and they look at everything from a negative and positive view. | |||

| Air signs are seen as complementary to fire signs because they provide the ideas that allow the fire signs to carry out their action. However, it is often thought that fire signs are too flagrant and impatient for the air signs to tolerate permanently. Air signs are supposed to more or less understand earth signs because they share a basically rational nature. However, whilst air signs are supposed to admire earth signs' will to achieve, they supposedly find them too timid, pessimistic, undemonstrative, and cautious, and the earth signs, though attracted by the air signs' unique thoughts, find them overwhelmingly unrealistic and flippant. Water signs are believed to be much too passionate and emotionally deep for air signs' flighty, flirtatious nature; indeed, astrology believes air signs hate water signs as too subjective, secretive, and illogical. For their part water signs supposedly deride air signs as emotionally shallow, excessively concerned with worldly pleasure, and uncaring towards others. Though,sometimes an air sign can balance out the traits of a water sign (thus creating a great friendship). Air signs will find themselves most compatible with fire signs, who share the similar traits of being positive, extroverted, outgoing, and fun-loving. Fire signs may not be as objective as air signs, as air signs may not be as passionate as fire signs, but they can generally adapt to each other's ways, and find they have a lot of different traits to offer in fulfilling one another. | |||
