About Gemini
Gemini covers May 21 – Jun 20. It is the third sign of the zodiac, an air sign in the mutable group. Mutable signs come at the end of a season, as it hands over to the next one.
Mercury is the traditional ruler of Gemini, and each daily reading names it for you. Mercury rules two signs, Gemini and Virgo, and orbits the Sun in 88 days, faster than any other planet.
A sun-sign reading is the same for everyone born under Gemini. A chart drawn for your birth date, time and place is a different, narrower thing. Foresight, not fate.
