Gemini is the third sign and has a direct link with the hands, arms, lungs and respiratory system. You will notice that many people born with the Sun in Gemini - May 22 to June 21 - have a habit of "talking with their hands" and they frequently are dextrous when doing things requiring a sensitive touch. Many Geminians like to wear rings or bracelets and, as the Sun rules gold, this metal suits them. Many fine pianists were born in this sign.

All too often, a strong emphasis on Gemini tends to cause bronchial and other respiratory problems. If you were born in this sign or have it on the ascendant and you have a disposition toward bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia or other chest infections, you should try to get out into the fresh air as much as possible.

Because Jupiter is related to the principle of expansion, when it is in Gemini at the time of birth it tends to make the arms longer or heavier than usual and frequently indicates that the hands are large. Saturn in Gemini belongs to people with "problem hands" and, if Saturn were involved in an adverse star pattern with another planet, it could cause chronic respiratory or lung trouble for those concerned. The Moon has a bleaching effect, so, when in Gemini, the hands can be pale and inclined to be moist.

Mars in Gemini will give strong, hard-working hands which will be subject to scratches, cuts or burns.

Venus in Gemini is the hallmark of people with beautiful, elegant hands which often will be adorned with jewellery to complement them.
