What does��Gemini mean?

Gemini is the name of a constellation that is interpreted as representing a pair of twins. It is sometimes referred to as the Twins.A constellation is a group of stars that appear near each other in the sky—especially a group that has been given a name. Gemini is considered one of the 12 zodiacal constellations—constellations that appear within a particular portion of the sky called the zodiac.In astronomy, the zodiac is the band of sky along which the paths of the sun, the moon, and the planets appear to move.Despite its basis in astronomy, the word zodiac is mainly associated with and most often used in the context of astrology, the nonscientific practice in which the positions of heavenly bodies at certain times are thought to influence or be correlated with human behavior and events. In astrology, zodiac refers to a diagram (often a circular one) representing the zodiac belt and showing the symbols associated with each of the 12 constellations or sections, which are called the signs of the zodiac. Gemini is one of these signs. It is situated between Taurus and Cancer and is considered the third sign of the zodiac.The other signs of the zodiac are Aries, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.The position of the sun in a particular portion of the zodiac at the moment of a person’s birth is thought to correlate with their personality. This is what people are referring to when they talk about their zodiac sign (or star sign or often just sign). People whose sign is Gemini are those born between May 21 and June 20.The word Gemini can be used as a noun to refer to someone who is born during this time, as in I was born in late May, so I’m a Gemini. The word Geminian can be used to mean the same thing. It can also be used as an adjective form of Gemini.The constellation is linked to the classical myth of the twins Castor and Pollux. The two brightest stars in Gemini are named after them.Gemini is also the name of a 1960s NASA program that involved multiple launches of a two-person spacecraft in preparation for the Apollo moon landings.Example: Even though I’m a Gemini, I don’t fit into the charismatic Gemini stereotype.
