How to deal with your Gemini partner, parent, child or co-worker
Gemini is a mutable, air sign, meaning that it lives in its head, curiously negotiating the world via an exchange of conversation, ideas and facts. The pre-internet world was simpler for this sign, when life consisted of a bedside table piled with books and calendars filled with phone numbers, ideas, and scribbled plans.
Now, with an endless digital stream to keep up with, life is a little overwhelming. Easily distracted before, they are now stretched to breaking point with online news, videos to watch, politics to track, celebrity gossip to know and travel plans to research.
Gemini’s are more likely to dip briefly into a million topics rather than dive deeply into one. They are easily distracted - the goldfish of the Zodiac. This happens socially too, which can make them flakey. There’s always another party for them to go to, or person to call. There’s a sense that they’re only ever half here and half somewhere else already.
So how to manage your Gemini…
PARTNER
Your Gemini love is likely to have a ‘busy’ life and a full schedule. They find nourishment in the company of others. If you’re also the sociable type, then it will be easier for you to keep up with them. But if you’re more introverted, take your alone time but give them the space they need to thrive out in the world without you. They’ll come home full of great stories and news to tell. Jealously doesn’t make sense to them, nor does an overt display of emotions. Got an issue? Talk about it rationally. Don’t cry and expect them to understand your inner pain and turmoil. Unless they’ve got a Moon placement in water, you’ll be needing to self-sooth your insecurities away.
Enjoy their playfulness and their wit. Take them to comedy shows, watch Succession and be sure to suggest events that you’ll both enjoy. That’s practically flirtation right there. And in bed? Keep the chat going, switching up the sexy talk.
CHILD
Gemini kids are ‘why?’ kids. Expect chatterboxes who enjoy learning and have plenty of friends. They’re not loners, so expect them to be constantly seeking stimulus from you and the world around them. Toys, books and playdates will keep them busy, and give you a break. They may be easily distracted in class and prone to being talkative. But they’re naturally curious and keen to know stuff - they’ll enjoy books of facts, joke books, or action-adventure series. Organise fun activities and enjoy watching their delight.
CO-WORKER
On a bad day, your Gemini co-worker is the office gossip. They won’t judge you on anything (they’re ethically neutral), but they will happily perch in the kitchen, jiggling a tea bag and whispering the latest news. On a good day, they’re excellent communicators and skilled writers. Use their information gathering skills to put them in charge of research and policy work. Give them a presentation to prepare. And pop them onto the social committee to liven up the workplace culture.
PARENT
Call them. Often. Or text. Take their call and listen. Meet them out at the new restaurant for brunch or meet up at the museum or art gallery. They’ll be keen to know all about your life - introduce them to your friends, show them your neighbourhood. Let them be a part of things. Don’t worry about them taking over - they’re busy and have their own lives. They’re more likely to pop in and out of yours. They’ll adore their grandkids and make good efforts, but their own activities are likely to interfere with regular babysitting commitments.
