Being ruled by Mercury, they are excellent communicators and writers who are creative in their expressions. This Zodiac sign is always on the lookout for new people, as if trying to find their other half in them. Geminis can show you the bigger picture and the brighter side of a situation efficiently. They tend to be witty and versatile, could be safely called “Jack of all trades, master of none.'' They have a thirst for knowledge which is never satiated. Such characteristics make them fun to have around. Being a mutable sign, they are flexible, always capable of blending with the situation they find themselves in from time to time.
When in love, a Gemini man or woman needs to feel an intellectual compatibility first before they engage physically with their partners. True flirts, they could attract many lovers unless they find the one who can keep up with their energy and intellect. Freedom lovers, they need their own space all the time. Any form of monotony is an excitement killer for the personality of this sun sign of the Zodiac.
