What’s a Gemini?
From the dates of May 21 to June 20, Geminis are born. Gemini is an Air Sign. Air bestows certain characteristics upon them. Air signs are intellectual, and need not only a lot of mental stimulation, but a lot of conversation and socialization, exposure to new things, and get bored if they don't learn a variety of new things. Gemini's not only need a variety of experiences, but a variety of learning experiences. Their brains are always processing new information, and the more unlike things they have learned before, the better. Gemini is a Mutable Zodiac sign, which adds to their mental agility and flexibility. It also makes them adaptable, versatile individuals who embrace change.
Their ruling planet is Mercury, the planet of communication. It governs all forms of communication from the written word, speech, and how information is exchanged. It also makes their minds work very quickly, too quickly for some people, but just fast enough for them. Mercury makes them talkative. They love to have great conversations, but they love to listen as much as they share. Mercury also installs a high energy level upon Geminis, and it seems like they never sit still. Some say it also gives them a positive attitude and creative talents. Read more about the Gemini Zodiac sign here: Gemini Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Most Noticeable Gemini Traits
It's true that this article is supposed to be about the lesser known characteristics of Gemini. We're going to start with some of their most noticeable ones, though. They are highly intellectual people, but are also very funny. Their intellectual nature makes them lifelong learners.
Intellectual
Intellectual people are focused on mental development, and if you want to break the ice with a Gemini, say something that gets them thinking. They get bored very easily if they are under stimulated or under challenged mentally. They're not necessarily smarter than the other Zodiac signs. Their brain is their most powerful attribute though. If they're upset, reason with them, and it will make them feel better. If you want ideas, ask a Gemini, because they will always help you come up with ideas. Some people say Geminis are blessed with the ability to use their left and right brain thoroughly. Maybe, but one thing is for sure- Geminis are always thinking, processing information, and looking for new things to learn. Not bad.
Funny
Somehow, Geminis are always laughing, always making you laugh, and always thinking up more funny things. They understand that being happy is important in life, and a great sense of humor always makes people happy. They will laugh with you if you let them. If you don't, they will be just as happy to laugh at you. They can see the funny side of even the most difficult and painful situations. They understand that sometimes you can't fix problems immediately. Not taking yourself too seriously and finding something to laugh at will make difficult times more bearable. Laughter is important in healing, yes, but so are spells and prayers. Learn more here: Your Spell and Prayer for Healing Guide
Lifelong Learners
Because Geminis crave mental stimulation, and they crave variety too, they are always learning something new. It's not surprising for a Gemini to take on a new hobby at least once a year. They also love to learn about people who are different from them, and that's part of what makes them such great listeners. They're the first to ask questions, even though they're paying attention better than most people and they really apply themselves to whatever they're doing. They understand that if you don't use your mind, you lose it, and they keep themselves sharp by exposing themselves to new things constantly.
Lesser Known Gemini Traits
Those last traits are probably things that you knew already. There are some surprising traits that Geminis aren't famous for, but nearly every Gemini seems to embody. They are amazing mediators, but they have a main streak that they don't mind showing from time to time. Despite all this, they're surprisingly sensitive. Read on to find out ten lesser known Gemini traits.
Great Mediators
You would think that someone who has a crazy sense of humor wouldn't be taken seriously, wouldn't you? Nothing could be farther from the truth with Geminis. They are excellent at listening to everyone's side of the story, and they suggest some of the best solutions. They're great at knowing how to soothe worries, and make even the most upset of people feel better. They seem to be built to solve problems, bring people together after conflicts, and just make everything run more smoothly. Every family, neighborhood, and team needs to recruit a Gemini to help them mediate everything. If you are not lucky enough to have a Gemini on the team, you can learn to resolve conflicts yourself.

Mean Streak
Gemini's sense of humor can veer from silly to mean in a split second. They are built with the ability to see the funny side of everything, even embarrassing situations and human tragedy. Sometimes the more tragic something is, the funnier the Gemini will think it is. They're not shy about sharing that either. Be careful if you're arrogant or want to keep up appearances. Gemini won't have any trouble revealing your most embarrassing secrets. Don't think that you're going to get them back though. They will tell you the most embarrassing things about them on their own, and they will laugh harder at themselves than they will anybody else who they're making fun of. Go ahead and laugh along, you know it's funny.
Surprisingly Sensitive
Despite this main streak that Gemini has, you will be surprised how sensitive they actually are. They have very delicate feelings. Their self-deprecating sense of humor is partially designed. To help them cover up how sensitive they are. They understand that the last thing they need to deal with during difficulties is someone feeling sorry for them. They are also sensitive to other people suffering, even though they may crack jokes about things. Being good mediators is possible because of their sensitivity levels. They really do care. Even when they're being practical jokers. So don't forget how sensitive they are. Their sensitivities plug into their psychic abilities.

Boredom is Dangerous
A bored Gemini is one who could make a bad decision. Really bad. If they get too bored for too long, they could do something like quit their dream job and bicycle across a different country to get the variety they need- and they might never return. They aren’t trying to be unreliable. They just need intellectual stimulation you simply cannot get with rigid routines. They dream of wonderful things and they do that often. They believe life is for living, and living should be fun. They will end a relationship if it gets boring, drop a study program that bores them, and walk away without apologizing. Never try to trap a Gemini into a monotonous routine, or you may never see them again.
They Need Solitude
Geminis are known for their high sociability, their talent for working crowds, and the ability to accommodate, and befriend people from all walks of life. They also have a quiet side that surprises people. They need to go within and reflect on things, away from the influence of all the people who they circle with sometimes. They need to take time for themselves for this. Don’t get upset if your Gemini needs alone time or just disappears for a while. They are spending time with their inner self and getting in touch with their own thoughts without the influence of other people. It’s one way Geminis focus on self-care.

Novel Relationships
Geminis meet so many new people so often. They are also very charming and likable because they're so engaging and adaptable, flexing to accommodate everyone. So it is understandable that a lot of people want to be in relationships with Geminis. Geminis don't want a long-term relationship with all of these people though. They will give everyone a chance and get to know them. The way to do that is to spend time together. Unfortunately, a lot of people get more emotionally attached to Geminis than they need to during this getting to know phase. Gemini's will walk away from a relationship that isn't working out for them without an apology.
Gossip Collectors
You would think that somebody who is so good at mediating and so great at circling with so many different kinds of people would be very kind about how they talk about others. Have you ever met a Gemini? While you are laying your troubles on them, they are keeping track of what you say. They don’t seek out to reveal every secret you tell them, but it's also not their goal to keep all the secrets you dump on them. They listen, and their mean streak constructs things they find laughable into ridicule into a juicy morsel of gossip. Let's be honest, most people do. That's why they take all their gossip to Gemini's, and ask Gemini's about the gossip that they have. Gossip can be hurtful, but it’s helpful sometimes too.

Too Many Choices
Being a multi-talented individual who is a lifelong learner creates a very ugly truth for Geminis. Sometimes they can't make up their minds about things. They also can't make up their minds about people. Everybody seems to fall instantly in love with Gemini's, so they have a lot of options for friends and lovers. They won't settle down and commit to anything or anyone unless they want to. Having limitless opportunities is both exciting and terrifying to them. What if they make the wrong decision? What if they get stuck somewhere that doesn't make them as happy as they thought it did when there are all these other wonderful opportunities they should not have passed up? Decisions, decisions.
Conflict Seeking
Gemini's do love gossip, and they love a bit of drama also. It's fun sometimes, you know? Conflict and drama can be fun, exciting, and make you feel alive. It means things are never boring, and it gives everybody something to talk about. These are all things that Gemini loves. If things aren't exciting enough, some Geminis will have an emotional meltdown, which stirs up quite a bit of drama. Their gossip can create tensions in teams, friendship circles, and families, and that's a lot of drama. That's okay, Gemini thinks it's all a lot of fun, so don't worry about it. This can make a lot of people angry though. Find out how each of the Zodiac Signs handles anger here: Angry Zodiac Signs- How to Handle Anger Issues
A Last Word
Gemini might be one of the most misunderstood signs in the Zodiac. When you get to know them on the surface , they may seem all love and light. Then, the longer you are around them, the more surprising things you find out about them. They seem like they are such proficient communicators, and so good at handling conflicts, nothing upsets them, and they don't upset anybody. The longer you get to know them, the more sensitive you find out they are, and the more you find out their mean sense of humor and love of gossip upsets other people. Being upset by someone’s mean streak is a major pet peeve for some people. Find out the Zodiac Sign’s pet peeves here: Each Zodiac Sign’s Pet Peeve
These differing traits of Gemini is why their Symbol is the Twins. They seem like two different people sometimes and you never know which one Gemini is going to be. Geminis are actually not contradictory within themselves. They are just complex, multifaceted individuals who are interesting. Geminis love people, and people love Geminis. Not just everyone is built to have a personal relationship with Geminis though. If you can handle being around someone who has constantly changing interests, may completely re-invent themselves overnight on a constant basis, and has a revolving door of friends and lovers, Geminis are for you. They might be unpredictable, but there is never a dull moment when they're around. Have fun!
Geminis are those interesting people who are constantly interested in life. They are fascinated with learning new things, meeting new people, and having new experiences. It's not that what they've already experienced isn't enough, it's that they need to be challenged and stimulated mentally, and that's just the way they were born. Some people don't understand Geminis because they think that they can't settle down or commit, but nothing could be further from the truth. A Gemini will commit, but only to things with variety and new opportunities. They need to grow, evolve, and expand, and they can't do that if they're bored. They are so versatile, people think of Geminis as two different people, but both sides of Gemini are great!
