Ascendant in Gemini (the top of the first house), regardless of the sun sign, endows the native with bright intellect, fast talk, and curiosity in events, happening around them. When the person neglects spiritual development, he becomes unnecessarily intrusive in communication: asks questions about personal characteristics, gossips, and misrepresents information.
In the case of high erudition, this is a perfect interlocutor-intellectual, who knows a piece of interesting information about any topic but lacking the warmth of emotional contact, it becomes harder to communicate with the representatives with the Gemini rising sign. And this is the main reason it becomes even harder to communicate with him for the watery zodiac signs (Pisces and Cancer), as we know that the element of water itself represents the emotion, and its representatives are very, very emotional. But on the other hand, the representatives of the airy element do not have those difficulties. The constant busyness with different things does not exclude the dispersion of energy and superficiality of knowledge when the omniscient native actually turns out to be an amateur.
Astrologers mention two types of people with the ascendant of Gemini: playful and funny “artists”, light and likable in communications, and arrogant intellectuals with sarcastic humor. The sharp mind and juggling with words are inherent in any ascending Mercurian, and irrepressible curiosity, with aggravated aspects, often contributes to the fact that the native unexpectedly finds himself in the center of dangerous adventure, or publicly finds himself in an absurd position.
The representatives with the Gemini rising sign are easy to know and understand with the characteristic traits of appearance and behavior as a Mercurian:
- tall, thin, elongated limbs and a triangular face;
- thin lips and eyebrows, eyes with a narrow cut with a squint, often gray-blue;
- long nose, which symbolizes curiosity, sometimes hooked (the native seems to be trying to catch hold of informational reasons), or small lump on the tip with harmonious aspects of the planet;
- flying gait: it seems like the wind brings him, and he doesn’t walk, but fly;
- curly hair is always slightly tousled, the body is always in action, loves to change positions, even if he is sitting;
- myopia with the defeat of Mercury, which the owner of the ascendant of Gemini does not tolerate (it interferes with being on the alert, in the know) and instantly puts on glasses, which also creates the image of an intellectual;
- tenacious, evaluating glance, at a low energy level – running, or the native avoids looking at his interlocutor.
The representatives with the Gemini rising sign try to do several things at the same time. They know how to communicate with their auditory. If in the communication there are five people, he answers to all of them at the same time, virtuously flowing from one topic to another, and with that, he hears not only himself but his interlocutors as well.
The woman with the ascendant of Gemini is of a versatile nature, who from young ages goes to different groups, but not for the self-development, as like the people with the Taurus ascendant, but just for the interest and a wide circle of acquaintance. The man with this ascendant is energetic and curious but is inclined to fall into stupid groups because of his curiosity. The mature native tries to be the number one in the profession, and because of this sometimes he decides to hurt his “enemies” for taking the place.
