Each of the planets in our horoscope represents a certain type of energy that flows within us. A very specific type of energy that shapes different aspects of our personality.

The science of astrology is built on the assumption that we, as human beings are a mini-representation of the universe itself, and that we experience the influences of all 10 planets within us – through our life and consciousness.

Now think about the role of the Sun in our solar system – it is the only celestial body that shines with its own light. It is the ultimate force that gives light, warmth, and life to ALL other planets and forms of life.

It is a never-ending creative source that nourishes and lights up the whole solar system!

This is why, although it is correct when modern astrologers say we need the whole natal chart drawn up in order to fully understand and comprehend one’s personality, we cannot belittle the significance of the Sun, and put it on the same plane as our Moon and Rising signs.

The correct approach would be to understand the more profound meaning of your Sun in Gemini placement and to consciously strive to live by its higher manifestations.

Sun in Gemini Bad Traits and Personality Challenges

For Sun in Gemini people, boredom is equivalent to death. They just have to be constantly busy with something. Usually their mental abilities are above average and they often show remarkable intelligence and wit.

However, as they are constantly busy absorbing more and more information, they do not have time to sit down and make sense of it. Therefore, Sun in Gemini people have many areas of general knowledge, but no in-depth knowledge in any field.

Sun in Gemini would benefit most if they strive to develop more patience and perseverance.

They constantly jump from one thing to another. If they start a project and fail to complete it in a short time, they tend to give up very quickly and start something else.

When talking to others, they like to jump from one topic to another. This switching happens so fast that other people, who are born under other signs of the Zodiac find it difficult to follow their thoughts, sometimes even finding this behavior annoying and irritating.

Because Gemini’s thinking is fast, they sometimes complete the thought of the other person and do not give them the opportunity to speak for themselves.

It is imperative for Sun in Gemini to learn to listen to others and actually hear what they are trying to tell them. They can otherwise face serious communication difficulties both in their professional and personal lives.

Gemini is one of the dual signs of the Zodiac. This means that Sun in Gemini people can see both sides of the coin. And somehow they manage to integrate opposite viewpoints. However, this is sometimes very irritating for the other signs of the Zodiac. For example, a Sun in Gemini person can find it very easy to agree with two friends, who have completely different viewpoints.

For this reason, Gemini is often accused of hypocrisy. In reality, Sun in Gemini people often find it hard to determine what is true. They look at the logic of both types of reasoning and find both valid.

After all, these people need to start building their own opinions on a number of important life issues instead of constantly adopting a different perspective.

Gemini Mythology

To better understand people born under the sign of Gemini, let’s look at Mercury, the planet that rules this sign. His ‘representative’ in ancient Greek mythology is Hermes, acting as a mediator between the gods and the mortals. He is always portrayed as a young man.

Zeus (Jupiter) is depicted as a middle-aged man, while Saturn and Neptune are depicted as old men. What does this mean? According to spiritual science, the planets were not created simultaneously, but gradually. In addition, they all separated from the Sun – the center of the solar system. Separating from the Sun, they began to orbit the ecliptic, following the Zodiac.

Mercury is an infant compared to Pluto (Hades). That is why in mythology he is depicted as a very dynamic and action-oriented young man.

This youthfulness is also characteristic of people born under the sign of Gemini, ruled by Mercury. Sun in Gemini people always look young. Even in old age they look younger, they are always curious and have the desire to learn and acquire new knowledge.

Mercury is depicted with a winged helmet and winged sandals. He was the fastest moving Olympic god and could go to the other side of the Earth in a second. If we look at the speed of rotation of this planet, we will see that while the Earth revolves around the Sun once, Mercury does so three and a half times.

No other planet revolves around the Sun so fast. Pluto, for example, needs 248 years to make a complete circle. This speed of rotation endows those born with a Sun in Gemini with extreme speed of thought. They can process a large amount of information in a very short time.

The winged helmet matters, too. It is a symbol of thought.

Mercury is the god, who governs thinking and communication. Nothing can be faster than thought. We are here now, and in the next second we can mentally move to the other side of the universe.

According to spiritual science, each person is made up of seven bodies, only one of which is visible, and the rest are invisible. They are arranged in the following order, depending on the increase in frequency vibrations – physical (what we see), etheric (controlling the functions of the body), astral (emotions, feelings), mental (our thoughts), causal (intuition), buddhial, higher self (the essence that is reborn from one life to another).

Three of these bodies are lower, three are higher, and the mental body is right in the middle. We can see that the ancient Greeks very wisely put Mercury (our mind and reason) as a mediator between the gods (the higher three bodies) and mortals (the lower three bodies belonging to earthly life). Only through our thoughts and imagination can we get at least somewhat closer to the gods and receive messages from them.

Since Mercury is the god, who governs thoughts, logical reasoning, and communication, all these areas are extremely important for those born with a Sun in Gemini.

These people are exceptionally communicative, can spend hours on the phone and always want to be up to date with what is happening around. They like to do several things at once, so they are often late for their meetings.

Sun in Gemini Children

Children born under the sign of Gemini begin to crawl, walk and talk very early. They are extremely mobile, curious and inquisitive. That is why their parents must take additional measures to prevent them from experimenting with dangerous objects – knives, matches, electricity, gas, hot plates, etc. At the same time, parents should make an effort for the little Sun in Gemini person to be constantly busy with something.

These children do not tolerate boredom. You could even say that they are really afraid of it.

At school, they usually do quite well. Their innate curiosity helps them keep their interest in the subjects. For Sun in Gemini children, the most difficult task is to sit silently at the desk without talking. Because of this, they are quite talkative in class. During exams, they usually write piles of paper with reflections on the subject, without supporting them with any facts.

Sun in Gemini people don’t like facts. They find it difficult to remember them and find them boring.

Sun in Gemini Parents

As parents, Sun in Gemini are very active and initiative. They always try to engage their children with a great variety of activities. However, they should not forget that their children, born under some other sign, may have a slower pace of thinking and may require to delve into an issue for a long time.

Sun in Gemini people do not get discouraged at the thought of retirement. They always have so many activities they want to engage in (probably even all at once!).

Sun in Gemini Health

In terms of health, Sun in Gemini are not the strongest of the zodiac, but are surely tough and resilient. They usually don’t have any fundamental health problems unless other strong aspects in the chart say otherwise.

If certain symptoms occur, they are most likely due to accumulated nervous energy. Gemini controls the lungs, so Sun in Gemini must always spend enough time in fresh air.

You should also watch out for the first signs of a cold in your lungs, too, as they could be particularly vulnerable. Smoking, which is harmful to any sign, is especially dangerous for Sun in Gemini. The best diet for them are fresh vegetables and fruits. In this way they will keep their youthful appearance and vitality until old age.

Sun in Gemini Love and Emotional Life

Sun in Gemini people usually have a low charge of emotional energy.

They are an air sign, which has to do with thinking, logic and reasoning. It is difficult for them to find a rational explanation for other people’s behavior. They can spend hours trying to logically explain whether they love a person or not.

If I didn’t love her, I wouldn’t give her flowers, would I? On the other hand, I forgot to call her yesterday, although I had promised her. Does that mean I don’t love her enough? No, I think I love her. But then I got bored at the movies. I don’t like movies like that much, and she does. Maybe it’s better not to meet?

Such an internal monologue can last for hours, even days and years. The problem is that Gemini is trying to logically explain something that is not in the realm of the mind, but of the heart.

Water signs, for example, know whether they love someone or not. They do not know why, nor do they try to explain it to themselves. They just live on the basis of their feelings. Air signs (like Gemini) live on the basis of their thoughts and logical conclusions.

That is why contradictions often arise between Gemini and their partners.

It is extremely difficult for Sun in Gemini to predict the emotional reaction of their partners in this or that life situation. They just can’t “get under the skin” of their partners and put themselves in their shoes.

From the viewpoint of a Gemini Sun, everyone else should react in a meaningful, logical way. They simply forget that Cupid’s arrows hit the heart, not the head.

In general, Gemini are energetic and dynamic partners. It is extremely important for them to communicate with their loved one on an intellectual level. If they cannot identify mutual interests and topics of conversation, they soon get bored of this relationship and start looking for other options.

A partner, who only satisfies their sexual needs cannot be tolerated for long by Sun in Gemini people. On the other hand, even if communication in the couple is good, over time they may become bored again and seek happiness elsewhere.

Therefore, if you have a Sun in Gemini partner, it is a good idea to periodically change mutual interests, topics of conversation, places to visit, restaurants, etc. In this way, the Gemini nature will have the opportunity to experience diversity in a monogamous relationship without getting bored.

Sun in Gemini have a very high level of nervous energy. It must be properly expended, because otherwise it is directed inwards and can harm the body. The main challenge for them is to learn how to control their hectic thought process.

Thinking fast is not a bad thing in general. The problem occurs when something is constantly being considered at a rapid pace. This often leads to insomnia, inability to relax, accumulation of nervous tension, irritability, etc. It is absolutely necessary for Gemini to learn to relax regularly.

Various meditation and relaxation techniques can be extremely beneficial for Sun in Gemini people.

Since this is such a vast topic to cover, I have dedicated separate articles to it.
