“Behold what is in the heavens and the earth! But revelations and warnings avail not folk who will not believe.”
The Koran
Gemini is a mutable, masculine air sign, ruled by Mercury and associated with the Third House of local community, short-distance travel, siblings, and communication. Fickle and flighty, Gemini’s mutable nature is restless. Gemini’s mutability is directly expressed thanks to its masculine nature. It often comes out as a witty remark, a flippant hand gesture, and an overbooked schedule. As it is ruled by Mercury, Gemini is typically concerned with learning as much as possible from its peers. Gemini’s intelligent duality is expressed as the Twins, implying that Gemini’s mercurial mind considers all perspectives.*

The image in the upper right is a horoscope by Erhard S. Schön from Leonard Reymann’s “Nativität Calendar” (Nürnberg 1515).
The images come from a variety of sources. The large engravings at the top of the pages were my inspiration for these pages. They are scanned form the book “Symbols Signs and Signets” by Ernst Lehner.
