The Gemini Woman

[ladymirth]

I believe in astrology (it's a way of life in Sri Lanka) but I believe in traditional astrology practiced by Sri Lankans, where our astrologers make horoscopes for every baby born, according to the time of their birth and the horoscopes of their parents. It's a very intricate and precise tradition usually passed down through the generations, which contain a bookful of details about the individuals entire lifetime and require much interim interpretation. My maternal grnadfather used to be famous for the accuracy of his astrological interpretations.

So I was naturally predisposed to dissmiss this Zodiac Star Sign hype that is all the rage among Westerners, as so much over-generalized, commercialized bullshit being fed to the gullible masses.

Until I stumbled upon this: The Gemini Woman.

I am going to bold the phrases that jumped out at me.

Gemini and Independence:

Gemini are extremely independent. They will not be pinned down by anyone or any rules. They need to experience the world on their own. Change and freedom are extremely important to Gemini, they will never let anyone dictate them, they are extremely independent and freedom is essential to their mental well being.

Gemini and Friendship:

Gemini make very interesting and exciting friends. They like to leave their mark on everyone they meet. They are very flighty and will disappear for a long time as they meet new friends and explore new places. But when they come back, they will have new thoughts, opinions and interesting things to share and ideas to teach. Life is very interesting and fun with a Gemini friend. If you need any advice, Gemini is the one to ask. They are masters of communication and they can help you get what you need by helping you with persuasion and enthusiasm, and they give good advice too. Do not however, bog a Gemini down with all of your emotional problems, they are not want to deal with it because it depresses them and steps on their freedom if you need too much long term help, support and follow up. A Gemini friend can fill you in with the latest gossip and if you love conversation, the Gemini delivers! They are very generous with their friends, they will spend lots of time with you and share everything with you. Even though Gemini is a social butterfly, they always need time for themselves and that should be respected.

Gemini and Business:

Gemini tends to disperse their energy on different tasks and not just focus on one thing thus leaving a trail of unfinished projects in their wake. If they were to focus their energy in one place, their cleverness and intelligence would allow them to complete their project with success and creativity. Gemini makes an excellent manager, they can motivate a team with their enthusiasm and vitality. They also make excellent salespeople because their ease of communication allows them to be clever and make a comeback to anything a person says. They can persuade and manipulate very well. They can easily justify any move they make and explain any action.

Gemini Temperament:

Gemini have the ability to react instantly to situations, and as a result, they have a very nervous temperament. They can be compared to a wound up spring as they attempt to absorb everything they can about their surroundings at once. The fact that they enjoy various situations and people add to their nervousness and that means they are almost constantly wound up. However, if they experience boredom and have nothing to survey, they get the same emotions, the need for excitement and variety. This is the Gemini duality, constantly conflicting emotions in one spontaneous, excitable package.

Gemini Deep Inside:

One downfall of Gemini is their superficiality. Instead of looking deep into a person's real qualities, Gemini will judge a person by the way they treat them. This can lead Gemini to have wrong impressions of people and can cause problems in relationships. Gemini's can have feelings of discouragement and moodiness although they never allow this to be seen by anyone but heir closest friends or family. Gemini usually want everyone to think that they are always happy and doing wonderfully and stress never affects them.

Gemini in a Nutshell:

Gemini people are many sided, quick both in the mind and physically. They are brimming with energy and vitality, they are clever with words. They are intelligent and very adaptable to every situation and every person. Gemini are curious and always want to know what's going on in the world around them. They are not one to sit back and watch the world go by, they want to be involved. This can sometimes make Gemini nosy, they do not mind their own business! This is because they really enjoy communicating, more so then most other astrology signs, they are the ultimate social butterfly. Gemini can talk and talk, but they have interesting things to say, their talk is not mindless babble. They have interesting opinions and thoughts on things and are not afraid to speak their mind. They are always in the know and are the one to see for the latest juicy gossip. Lacking perseverance, Gemini easily goes off topic to explore another thought or idea. Gemini are superficial, they will form opinions on matter without diving into them and exploring them fully. This can lead them into thinking they know everything, which they usually do but their mind is too busy to be concerned with fine details. Routine and boredom are Gemini's biggest fears. Gemini would rather be naive then know the depressing truth, they do not want anything putting a damper on their freedom or positive energy.

What it's like to date a Gemini Woman:

The Gemini woman is truly enchanting. However, dating her might feel more like a friendship then a real relationship due to her casual nature. This is not necessarily a disadvantage, for the casual man who shy's away from overly romantic emotions, she is the perfect woman. Since she is the astrology sign of the duality, she offers quite the challenge. One one hand, she needs to be nurtured, loved and catered to and on the other hand, she needs stimulation and novelty. She is very demanding and if you do not provide what she wants, she will be off onto the next adventure pretty quickly. To keep her interested is a challenge, not completely impossible so she is the perfect woman for the man who likes stimulation and a challenge. She needs a partner with a quick mind, she tends to poke and prod at the emotions and the minds of those who are mentally slower then her, make sure you can keep up to her wit or you will briskly be left behind. She is prone to keeping men on a string, not completely heartlessly, she is evaluating if the man is worth her attention and her time she has no time to waste with a dull man. Once you have her approval, she can easily become jealous. The reason for her is jealousy is that if she is going to open up to a man, when she rarely completely opens up to anyone, she does not want to risk her being deceived or hurt. If you are with a Gemini woman and she becomes jealous, you are on the right track to true love! Gemini women are so exciting that they are worth the effort, you will remember her forever!

How To Attract Gemini:

Love to talk, that is the first rule about impressing a Gemini. Be knowledgeable about that you talk about too because Gemini are intelligent and have lots of knowledge about many things. If you are an expert on a certain topic, teach them about it, you will impress them because this know-it-all sign is does not usually know fine details about a lot of things, they are too busy to bother to learn. Speak your mind, engage them in a friendly debate but never be too conservative, they find this dull. Be honest and loyal to a Gemini, once they have had their trust broken they usually will never get it back again. Gemini are easy to date, they will do any activity anywhere. Just have fun, like you would with a friends because that's what Gemini are, a great friend.

I am a Gemini, and that is me. That is the most accurate description of me I have ever read,  (although I'm not sure about all the hyperbole) . What impresses me is how specific and detailed the descriptions are, instead of the usual general fare that could easily be applied to any random person.

I should put that in my profile.

dunno how I ended up on anna friends's page but, glad I did.

being the astrology freak myself, I couldn't help but spot (and copy/paste) Capricorn Zodiac related stuffs to my lj. Hope you don't mind. Didn't read yours, though, 'cause I don't know you.

Back to this zodiac site, freaky how accurate it is! Usually, I rely more on chinese zodiac accurency but, now...

are you the FoLC ladymirth? Mind if I friend you?

in case you mind either of both friending and snatching, holler and I'll delete both.

[ladymirth.livejournal.com]

I am the FoLC Lady Mirth, I mind neither the friending nor the snatching, and your userpic is beautiful. It IS Teri, is it not?

I know it's freaky. I usually find the Chinese zodiac system more accurate too. My best friend is a Capricorn, and that description fit her to a tee, but not another Capricorn friend of mine. I suppose it varies.

What name do you go by on the LnCMBs? I shall friend you back! =)

[cyad.livejournal.com]

yeah, it is Teri. Resized and corrected it. Original picture's the ad Teri made for Baume&Mercier. And, before you ask, Teri's my favorite actress. ;)

Well, Me? am capricorn with a capricorn ascendant. Like my astrologic focus friends say: "you're a pure, strong one!"

Well, I go by Cyad on lj and Zoom's. I quit lcmbs but seeing most on my flist still go there, maybe I should come back. It's been 16 months I quit LC, just a frew week before grave depression hit me. And nope, I don't think both were relate. But who knows? I also went by Cyad (and once Altlois) there.

but you can friend me back on lj, I'd be honored! :)

[ladymirth.livejournal.com]

Teri's one of my favourites too. Has been ever since I first saw her on the LnC Pilot. She is so beautiful!

I'm sorry you quit the Boards. I hope you decide to come back one day - our numbers sem to be dwindling. I'm going through a severe depression myself right now, although most of the more emotional/ ranting posts are filtered so I don't make my whole flist suffer with me. *g* I still keep in touch with the FoLCs at the Boards though. I can never seem to quit that place entirely, and I don't intend to. I always end up going back. Right now I'm more involved in the Supernatural fandom. That show is my life right now. =D

I've been on the boards since late 2005, so I might've seen you around. Who knows?

Oh, btw, I share your Remington Steele love too!♥

[cyad.livejournal.com]

rotfl!! just spotted your dance bucket icon! I love it!

ahem...you can fetch the Remington Steele banner, it's not everyday I find a fellow RS fan! :)

been on zooms since 2002, you still can see me there. I promised myself I wouldn't come back. I guess only one person could convince me to come back and it's not you (though you're doing an awesome job!) But if one day I feel ready to change my mind and break this promise (never did in my entire life but, who knows? only fools just stay narrow-minded), you'll be the first to know! ;)

[cyad.livejournal.com]

and about depression, I'm practically out of it but takes a very long time. Am helping other friends who're facing it 'cause seems I can feel those who are, now that I faced it myself. so, if you ever feel blue, or need to vent, or anything, my addy is cyad9@yahoo.com. and it's the same on msn. if you have msn.

maybe not tonight 'cause I've been headachy all day. but...

and don't forget: you're not alone in this and people do get out of it.

((hugs))

oh, and awesome background in flight pic you got there. What mountians are they?

if you want I got plenty of those, too. I love snapping the sea clouds or landscape when in a plane. I thing Earth is so beautiful from above! :)

(userpic I made from one of my inflight pics if you like, like the Teri one, feel free to snatch!)

[ladymirth.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They are the Cascades Mountains and I took it while I was flying over the U.S. It was my first timeon a plane ever, and I was really snap-happy the whole time. =)

Your userpic is so beautiful! You seem to have an eye for this sort of thing. I'd rather make backgrounds rather than icons out of scenery though. Would you mind mailing me some of the original pics if you still have them? I've been thinking of revamping my lj layout for a while. My email is ladymirth@gmail.com. I would appreciate it ever so much! =D

[cyad.livejournal.com]

sure!

well, I was a globe-trotter journalist who aldo happened to take her own pics so, I have no merit really!

will send you the inflight pic and one or two others I recently took.
