About Gemini

Gemini is linked with words, ideas and quick thinking. Its people are described as curious and sociable, with a need for variety and many things to talk about.

Astrologers name wit, adaptability and a fast mind as the strengths of Gemini. The weak side is restlessness: a Gemini can start many projects and finish few.

Decan and Sun position

In 2026, the Sun is at 2°17′ Gemini at noon on 23 May in the time zone of San Pawl il-Bahar. A decan is a part of 10 degrees, and each sign has three. In the traditional system, a decan adds the character of the sign of the same element that goes with it. The first decan belongs to Gemini itself, so its traits show most clearly.

The Sun in the sky on 23 May
