![]() ![]() ![]() Why not? They’ve also decided they’re the producers and directors, so they can be whatever they choose to be. No Broadway stage is as packed with drama and color as the “theatre of the mind.” And so, the Twins cast themselves in all roles, from the character actors to the ingenues, from the stars to the lowliest bit players, sometimes slipping into the part of the stagehands or musicians. The Twins themselves are.įrom childhood, Geminis have been acutely aware that illusion is the most dependable of all riches. That is, until they bump up against the exceptions to the rule and finally come to the conclusion that the world may consist entirely of exceptions. Geminis think they have the world and everyorie in it analyzed down to the last nuance. When the Twins do it, they’re called con artists, liars – or, at the very least, deceptively slick and quick with the facts. What hurts and perplexes the Gemini Mercury Birds is the way others, who are less sympathetic than Leo, interpret their talent for conjuring up imagery. They can’t fathom why it is, when other people do the same thing, they’re called creative, imaginative – astute traders, or shrewd businessmen. It’s like the song from The King and I – “make believe you’re brave, and the trick will get you far. You can be as brave – as you make believe you are!” By so believing, Mercury dreams eventually materialize and manifest.īecause Leo inwardly senses that Geminis are telling the truth as they see it, the large Leonine heart goes out to the Twins in sympathetic recognition of a soul brother – or sister. With the brush of imagination, Geminis paint marvelous word pictures of nonsensical things and somehow manage to make them seem real and logical to sane people, as well as to themselves. Gemini tells stories, flavored with excitement, always amusing, some of them with a double-switch O’Henry ending, instilling enthusiasm and inspiring more cautious, practical souls. While the Twins are selling others, they’re simultaneously selling themselves the validity of their own dreams. Geminis have the same sort of good fortune with their apparent self-deception. It’s the quintessence of royalty to project nobility of spirit and strength of character to the weaker masses. Strangely, and rather wonderfully, in pretending to be all these things, Leo actually becomes them, rediscovering through every human crisis (to his or her secret surprise and delight) that the Leonine courage really is as powerful and awesome as the Lion’s roar insinuates. The King and Queen of the jungle pride – or of any kingdom, classroom, office or home – must never lose face before their adoring subjects, who respect and worship the monarchy, only because their rulers are capable of handling any minor or major emergency with majestic finesse, regal dignity and wisdom. Unlike Scorpios (except for the Grey Lizards), who are deeply and unshakably certain of their superiority, the Lion and Lioness believe that if they roar loudly enough, no one will suspect that they tremble with apprehension over their private fear that they may not be completely equal to every occasion that may arise. ![]() ![]() When they whistle a tune together, in harmony, it’s easier to convince themselves that all is well. And yes, Gemini is trying to prove to the Twin Self and everyone else that he-she is racing straight ahead, in the right direction, and not really running around in circles.īecause their two Sun Signs are sextile, creating a 3-11 vibration between them, they’re intuitive about each other, are inclined to friendship, despite any differences between them from time to time, and they have a mutual talent for whistling in the dark. Yes, Leos are trying to prove to themselves and the rest of the world, through a show of arrogant bravado, that Lions and Lionesses are as brave inwardly as they outwardly seem. They’ve both guessed the truth about each other. Is Gemini trying to span East, West, North, and South all at once to hide the fact that he (or she) is lost in the woods with a broken compass?” Survival alone isn’t sufficient reason for so much unnecessary maneuvering. As Gemini calculates the sunny but sometimes insufferable antics of the Lion, the Twins wonder: “Does the big cat actually possess such complete self-assurance? Or could Leo only be trying to prove that the reality is as infallible and fearless as the image?” – a typical Gemini mind trip.Īs the Lion or Lioness lazily studies the Mercurial Gemini Twins, he (or she) has a similar thought: “All that mental and physical activity must be a compensation of some kind. ![]()
