This blend of light and dark rums represents the duality of the star sign.
Symbolized by the twins , Gemini is an air sign that keep off strict definitions . Depending on the time of day , you might enchant Gemini being sport , flirty , and playful — or conversely thoughtful and stoical .
Rather than merge these wide - ranging quirkiness into one palatable personality , Gemini relish in the spectrum of their identities . They love and lean into the fact that they get to show one side of themselves at work , another at home , another with friends , and so on .
Just as two identical twins will reveal inner worlds that are galaxies aside , Gemini season invites us to explore our own contradiction with curio and acceptance . It reminds us that we ’re all in a state of fluxion , responding to a range of stimuli both in and outside of our consciousness . Rather than expect ourselves to remain unaltered within an evolving world , Gemini encourages us to find and redefine ourselves within these teddy .
