Gemini:
is
Mutable Air.
The house that has Gemini on the cusp (beginning) shows the
place in your life where communications and a constant information
flow are important to you. Do you have Gemini on the cusp of the 8th
House (sex)? Then you will never be 搕urned on?by anyone who is
quiet. Stimulating, light, and 揻un?conversation, though, should
do the trick, before, after, and even during.
But remember that Gemini is Mutable,
adaptable, and easily influenced. This interpretation is modified by
the sign and house placement of Mercury (ruling planet of Gemini) in
your horoscope, as well as its aspects. For instance, if Gemini is on
the 8th cusp and Mercury is in the sign of Capricorn, then the
conversation will have to be about a serious subject. That can be a
drag when you are trying to talk someone into bed.
Libra:
is Cardinal
Air.
Libra
rules beauty, art, charm, and the 搒ocial
graces? Gemini is raw information. With Libra, this is taken one
step further. Libra is Partnership.
We don't just have people bumping into each other and exchanging
information like two ships in the night. There is a sense of
commitment here, something that Gemini usually tries to avoid
(remember that we are speaking about the influence of the sign of
Gemini by itself, in
isolation from other factors; this does NOT
mean that everyone with a Gemini sun-sign avoids commitment).
While Gemini tends to witty, interesting information, Libra
gravitates towards beautiful
communication. The late Helen Hayes used to tell the story about how
she first met her husband, Charles McArthur. It was at a party and he
fell in love with her at first sight. He spent the whole evening
talking to her. At one point, they were sitting on a couch and she
asked him to please pass the bowl of peanuts. As he handed them to
her, he said, 揑 wish these were emeralds!?She finished the story
by saying 揑 had to marry
him after that; I just had to?
Libra is also the sign of Fairness
and Justice. Its placement
in your horoscope (along with the placement of its ruling planet,
Venus) shows the place in your life where these qualities are most
visible and most important to you. The house with Libra on the cusp
(beginning) is also the place where the need for beauty is most
noticeable.
Aquarius:
Is
Fixed
Air.
Notice the progression. Gemini is brothers and
sisters, something over which we have no control. Libra is marriage
and partnership, which is by choice. Aquarius is friendship, which is
also by choice, and brotherhood and sisterhood, which are universal.
Aquarius is always trying to stretch the boundaries, if not break
them. In the Zodiac, it comes right after the earth sign Capricorn,
which rules organization, form, and limitations. Aquarius rips the
boundaries and breaks the old forms so that it can bring in something
new and startling. It is like Prometheus, defying Zeus to bring the
gift of fire to humanity. Like Prometheus, many of them suffer for it.
In the horoscope, the house with Aquarius on the cusp
(beginning) as well as the house that contains Uranus, its ruling
planet, shows the places in your life where you can be at your most
original and independent. If there is any genius in you, these are the
places where it will tend to come out. Be careful though. These are
also the places where you will be the most Rebellious,
where you can shock people. Aquarius and Uranus tend to defy any
established authority (except their own, of course). They have an
open, direct, 搃n-your-face?quality that is unmistakable, but can
get you into a lot of trouble.
