csberryThis section is about Gemini males. Of all the astrology stuff I've seen/heard, this is the closest to my personality. I've bolded the stuff that I think is particularly on target to me.
He is always in transit -- from one place to another, one person to another, one vocation to another. Restless, nervous, he is not content to live one day at a time, but will try to compress a week or a month into a day and to live on several different levels at once.
Whatever he is doing at the moment, he yearns to do something else. He thrives on contradiction. You can't even be sure when he likes you, for his mode of expression is always so contradictory. If he doesn't seem to know you're alive, he's probably intensely aware of your existence. If he is overly solicitous and attentive, he probably couldn't care less. Whatever his feeling, his first instinct is to camouflage it.*
He can't stand schedules. Don't ask him to have all his meals at set hours or even to maintain regular hours for going to sleep or waking. He won't be a prisoner to the clock.
He is unusually (I'll accept "unusually" as "not ordinary" but reject the "superior" interpretation - Cory) intelligent and has a clever gift of gab. And how he loves to talk! He will juggle several topics, keeping them all in the air at the same time.(Although sometimes all the balls come crashing down - but that is entertaining too. - Cory)
Don't try to win a verbal battle with him. He is highly articulate, and words are weapons he can wield with devastating effect.**
A strange restlessness is evident even in his conversation, for he jumps from topic to topic like Eliza crossing the ice. He is free-flowing, spontaneous, and highly volatile. This gives an impression of electric magnetism rather than lack of control, because what he is saying sparkles with a special glitter and radiance. He is a fascinating, many-sided, intellectual man, constantly and almost painfully aware of how people react to him.
His enthusiasm results in his tackling too many enterprises and spreading himself too thin. He will display great initiative in launching a project. The problem is to keep him on course. All too often, quick-witted Gemini is left behind by plodding, less imaginative competitors, for he is notoriously the da Vinci of dilettantes.
He doesn't react well to failure. He is all too eager to blame himself, to trigger depressed emotions in which the failure confirms his secret feelings of inadequacy. However, these moods don't last long. Some new interest comes along to intrigue him and sends his emotional chart zooming upward again.
He's interested in games, hobbies, all manner of diversion. He loves to travel, in order, as one Gemini male put it, "to see sights these eyes have never seen before." He is a hard worker, but only for a short stretch. And he does best at any kind of work that presents a stimulating mental challenge. He needs frequent intervals, vacations, breaks in routine. Fundamentally, he is much more interested in hobbies and recreation than work of any kind.
He loves being in love and will try to take it wherever he can find it. But he also seeks his freedom and will not submerge his ego to please any woman. He is also easily bored by routine, and wen subjected to it is likely to become hostile and seek out quarrels. He always must establish his intellectual superiority. If a woman accepts this too easily, he will be frustrated.*** There has to be some resistance, some protest or struggle, before he is satisfied with his victory.
His biggest problem: making up his mind. Because he finds it difficult to stick to one course or to pursue anything to a conclusion, he is accused of being fickle and contradictory. Once the main thrust of a challenge has been met, he immediately begins looking for something new, different -- just over the horizon...
That's also true of his behavior in the business world. Usually, he will be regarded as the brightest of executives, a truly brilliant idea man, well qualified to find his place at the top. But he won't hang around the company long enough to gain the eminence for which his talents suit him. He'll blitz a problem, deploying all his resources and all the skills of those who work for him. Traditional practices or business dogma won't stand in his way, for he has no patience with the old way of doing things. It will only be a comparatively short time, however, before people discover he also has no patience with the new way of doing things. He'll be looking for something still more advanced. Finally he'll run into too much opposition and simply pack up and move on. His best role is as a troubleshooter or business consultant, where the steady stream of new problems will keep him engrossed, and he won't have to bother himself with seeing to it that his orders are carried out. Gemini male likes to plan the strategy and leave the day-to-day tactics to others.
He has difficulty holding on to money. Possessions slip through his grasp. When he has too much money in the bank, he is uncomfortable and tries to discover a reason to rid himself of it. He finds security only in insecurity.
Many people think he has captured the spirit of youth, with its endless vitality and curiosity, its love of fun and partying, even of movies and TV. He is called the Peter Pan of the zodiac because he never seems to grow up.
Women are not the most important thing in his life -- although he gets more than his share. Often known as a chaser, it is not because he is oversexed but simply because he loves to sample new wares. At the beginning of an affair he is marvelous, everything a woman could ask for, but his emotional charge is soon spent -- and will probably need recharging by someone new and different. His emotions are often shallow. The future with him is uncertain; the present is undeniably fun.
* - When I started college, I've tried to be honest and open about everything that I could possibly stand. Unfortunately, this honesty is easily camouflaged by my dead-pan, surrealist, sarcastic humor.
** - I'd bold this section, but I'm not the most articulate person.
*** - Sad, but true. I want a mate that is pretty much my equal, but I have a little edge on them. :) I've only flaked on a couple of women who I felt were smarter than I. Mostly, I wondered what they saw in me. But I've moved quickly from many other women because I felt I was much smarter than they. I have to have an assertive woman...but one that I'm capable of taming if needed, I guess.
