Gemini

About Gemini

Gemini is a mutable air sign ruled by Mercury, tied in tradition to communication, curiosity and quick thinking. The twins symbolise its dual, versatile nature. Gemini season bridges spring and the start of summer.

Gemini traits

As a mutable air sign, Gemini is often described with these strengths and challenges. Astrology is a tradition, not a science, so read this as a character sketch rather than a prediction.

Gemini dates and cusps

Gemini runs from May 21 to June 20. Because the sun does not cross the sign boundaries at exactly the same clock time each year, the first and last dates can shift by a day. If your birthday sits right on the edge, the birth profile tool will show the sign for your exact date. Gemini falls in May and June.

Gemini birthstone and colours

The traditional Gemini birthstone is Pearl, and the sign's lucky colours are Yellow and Light green. These pair naturally with Gemini in jewellery or a birth profile card.

Gemini compatibility

Gemini tends to match most easily with Libra, Aquarius, Aries and Leo. These are the classic element-based matches. See how Gemini pairs with any sign on the compatibility pages.
