Gemini
Curious, talkative and quick — the sign of the mind.
- Dates
- May 21 – June 20
- Element
- Air
- Ruling planet
- Mercury
Gemini loves the world by learning it. For this Mercury-ruled air sign, conversation isn't a means but a pleasure in itself; a new subject, a new person or a new idea brings it to life instantly.
Gemini's scattered-looking interests are really parts of one need: the mind must not stop. Routine is a source of boredom for Gemini rather than fatigue.

Love and relationships
Gemini looks for mental closeness first; a good conversation catches its interest before physical attraction does. It flees monotony — keeping curiosity alive is Gemini's condition for commitment.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Gemini dates?
May 21 – June 20. Gemini sits on the crossing between late spring and early summer — standing between two states is built into the sign. Born between May 20–22 or June 20–21, your sign may come out as Taurus or Cancer.
What does the Gemini ruling planet mean?
Gemini is ruled by Mercury — the planet of mind, language and exchange. That explains the constant gathering of information and the habit of thinking out loud. Mercury works fast but does not stay anywhere long; the Gemini restlessness comes from the same source.
