Their element is air, symbol is twins and they are ruled by the planet mercury. Here are some of the Gemini characteristics, shared by all belonging to this sun sign.

Gemini Characteristics and Traits

Independent
Gemini people are freedom loving, who like to live life on their own terms. They are highly individualistic and do not like to be told things. Any kind of rules or restrictions do not go down well with a Gemini.

Indecisive
One of the drawbacks of a Gemini is that they are unable to take decisions on their own. This indecisiveness is a peculiarity commonly found in both male Gemini characteristics as well as female Gemini characteristics. Although Geminis are very intelligent people, yet due to the duality in their nature, they are unable to decide on one particular thing.

Great Communicator
No one in the Zodiac can talk, argue, put his point across and impress other people with his communication like a Gemini. Geminis are communication kings of the Zodiac, who are very good at giving advice or persuading people. This characteristic of a Gemini makes them ideal for jobs such as a talk show host, publicist or a marketing professional.

Intellectual
Geminis are very curious people who like to explore new places and meet new people. They like to do all such things which add to their experience and knowledge. Geminis are intelligent, witty and bright, and can be great company for someone looking for a mental stimulation.

Adept at Multi-tasking
Geminis are capable of taking care of a number of things simultaneously. Although they can be quite fickle and may not even finish the projects that they have started, when they do put their heart in something, they can work very fast and efficiently, taking up a number of things at one given point of time.

Gemini Characteristics in Love

Geminis make excellent partners for somebody who is looking for fun, excitement and adventure in life. They want someone who will understand their need to socialize, and at the same time, be there for them when they come back home. Geminis like to have intelligent conversations with other people including their partners. A well experienced, intelligent person, with a strong personality, who can match wits with a Gemini, will be their ideal partner. Gemini's ideal partners in the Zodiac are Aquarius, Libras and fellow Geminis themselves.

One of the Gemini characteristics, which their partners should be cautious about, is that Geminis being indecisive and dual in their nature, are quite capable of cheating, once in a while. Since Geminis crave for variety, adventure and excitement, they have an instinct to stray sometimes. So the partners of Geminis should always look for ways to hold the interest of their Gemini. They should not be boring or laid back, otherwise Gemini can soon loose interest, pack his bags and go.

Looking at the Gemini characteristics, it can be concluded that Gemini people are highly energetic, lively, witty, versatile, intellectual and communicative. On the flip side, they can be indecisive, impulsive, flirtatious and superficial. Though there is lack of depth in their personality and emotions, still Geminis are excellent to be around, for their optimistic and fun-loving outlook towards life.
