The GEMINI Child

"Will you walk a little faster?" said a whiting to a snail, "There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail."

If the stork recently delivered a Gemini bundle of joy to your doorstep, prepare yourself for a whirlwind of activity and keep your mind sharp. The next fifteen to twenty years will require your agility, and it's best to start now while your little Mercury-born darling is still contained in the crib. Soon enough, he will be walking and talking, and if you're not ready to keep up, he may slip through your fingers like a wisp of air. Have you ever tried to grasp hold of a wisp of air?

The U.S. Census Bureau has observed that there is a higher incidence of multiple births during the Gemini period than at any other time of the year. So, despite counting ten tiny toes and ten little fingers, which usually indicates one baby, don't be too certain. Your June arrival may be twins?or even more. Perhaps a recalibration of your understanding of mathematics is in order. You will soon witness it when your little one begins to crawl, an action that will occur numerous times throughout the day. You will swear that you just saw him with his hand caught in the pantry's electric mixer, but how can that be? There he is, out on the front porch, contentedly munching on the petunias. How can he be in two places at once? Remember, your child is ruled by Mercury, the Greek god depicted in books with winged feet and a gleaming silver helmet. Place an inverted kitchen pan on your Gemini baby's head for a makeshift helmet, and let your imagination envision the wings sprouting from his chubby, rosy heels.

Do you see the resemblance?

Personally, I've never been fond of those harness-like contraptions sold to mothers for strapping their toddlers when going out shopping. It always brings to mind an image of a woman walking her dog. However, I strongly recommend that the mother of a Gemini child purchases two or three of them, just to be on the safe side.

Your initial thought might be that a sturdy playpen is a necessity for such an active child. I understand your reasoning and sympathize, but I have reservations about playpens and Gemini children. Confining them to a small space can feel like cruelty to a little Geminian whose very nature drives them to seek, explore, and learn. Even more detrimental than the physical limitations is the mental boredom of being trapped on a tiny blue and pink plastic pad while the vast and exciting world beckons just beyond. Periods of confinement should be brief. Excessive restriction and hindrance of a Geminian's freedom can lead to emotional despondency that may not be easily overcome. Remember, they are an air sign, and air must move. Ensure they have a variety of toys and colorful books to peruse when they must be enclosed.

Of course, they won't stay there for long once they've had enough. Mercury governs their vocal cords, and when your little Gemini decides to exercise their vocal talents, you will marvel at how such an enormous amount of noise can emanate from such a small mouth. I bet you'll swiftly remove them from the playpen. Unless you have understanding neighbors with impaired hearing, that is.

Gemini children often make older, more composed individuals nervous with their bird-like movements and rapid gestures. Adults frequently tell the young Geminians to stop fidgeting or to be patient and focus on one task at a time. But for these children, engaging in multiple activities simultaneously is natural. What may be deemed fidgety by stodgy or composed people is, to Gemini, simply their normal state of being. It is wrong to make them feel that they would receive greater approval by attempting to imitate slower, less lively individuals. They should be taught to slow down a bit, perhaps, for their own benefit, but their fundamental nature cannot be changed without frustrating their innate inclinations. Let us try to remember that the lively Gemini child, who annoys the more introverted elders, and the quiet and careful Capricorn child, who irritates their more assertive elders, are merely being true to themselves. Being true to oneself is already challenging enough without others attempting to impose a change in personality.

Embrace your Gemini child for who they are?a friendly, alert, inquisitive, and precocious individual. You cannot transform a firefly into a snail or a snail into a firefly. Nor can a leopard change its spots. While I understand that you are not raising leopards, but rather a bright, interesting, and enthusiastic child, the analogy remains logical. Allow those dual spots in your Gemini youngster to persist. Someday, they may make you proud with a building they design or a literary prize they win, and when they display such dual talents, you'll question why you ever attempted to mold them into a singular form. If they dart around as if they have jumping beans within them, they are simply practicing the rapid reflexes they were born with. Their firefly-like mind can confuse you, but remember that it processes a thousand fancies, sifting through them, deciding which to discard and which to treasure.

Teachers will quickly notice that these boys and girls have no difficulty learning to read. Gemini practically invented words. They relish being called upon to recite and may beam while other students sigh when assigned a writing task. These youngsters take pleasure in communicating with others and sharing their knowledge through spoken or written words. Many of them possess mechanical skills and ambidexterity. It is not uncommon to find a Gemini child who writes with their left hand and draws with their right. They may nibble on their nails, but their fingers are typically slender and flexible, making them skilled at magic tricks and playing musical instruments. Someday, these talents may lead them to become excellent surgeons, dentists, or watchmakers. Gemini hands are sensitive, expressive, and capable.

They often display a remarkable ability to mimic others. The Gemini sense of sharp wit and satire manifests early on. At home or in school, the Gemini child resides in a world where make-believe and reality blend together, where truth is often portrayed as fantasy, and fantasy is disguised as truth. They may give the impression of exaggerating or even lying. However, they cannot help but add a splash of color when recounting an incident, and they often convince themselves that it truly unfolded that way. During such moments, they should be treated gently, as they are stretching and exercising their vivid imagination. Instead of making them feel guilty for having an imagination, they should be encouraged to always speak the truth and write their stories on paper. Once they master this skill, they will be able to discern the distinction between dreams and facts, instead of remaining lost between the two worlds. Gemini children who are not allowed to express themselves and communicate naturally may retreat into a half-world of illusions as a defense mechanism. It is advisable to introduce them to foreign languages early on, as they will likely learn them effortlessly. Similar to Sagittarius children, they will discover the practicality of bilingual abilities as they engage in copious conversations and embark on frequent travels.

When your Gemini child enters their teenage years, they will practically live on the telephone, change romantic partners every week, alter their mind about their future career a hundred times, drive the car slightly too fast, tinker with the engine, and fix the washing machine. The girls will be popular, capable of turning on a shower of tears or a radiant smile like flicking a light switch. These young individuals will keep you on your toes and keep you feeling young.

Once your Gemini child grows up, many people will disapprovingly remark that "they have their fingers in too many pies." You will smile in response, and they may become irritated. However, you will remember a spring day when they were seven. They dipped their fingers in your chocolate pies, their father's shaving cream, the fishbowl, the garbage can, a pot of hot soup, and even an electrical socket. You were furious. Yet, later at twilight, you watched them chasing fireflies in the grass. Eventually, you sighed and audibly asked yourself, "Why must they rush about so? What are they searching for?" They overheard you, and it troubled them. You will never forget the look in their bright, clear eyes when they responded, "Gee, Mommy... I don't know. But don't worry, I'll find it."

Details of Your Personality, How You Were As A Child

Sun / Taurus

The TAURUS Child
"Behold the indomitable spirit, the unyielding force wrapped in a tiny bundle, as you attempt to clothe your newborn Taurus baby for the journey home from the hospital. 'Put your precious arms inside the warm embrace of the sweater lovingly knitted by Grandma,' you coo, your maternal instincts urging tenderness. 'Why do you clench your tiny fists, stiffening your arms? Let go, my sweet little one. Please, let go.'"

"Allow me," your husband offers. "Alright, come on now, kiddo. Let's slide those arms into the sleeves. Take it easy. Hey! Can you hear me, Charlie? Release your grip. Move your arms. Move!"

The nurse enters the room. "Don't be distressed," she reassures. "Dressing them can be a challenge when they're so young. My, what a good baby, wide awake and silent."

"Yes, he's quiet," your husband remarks. "But he keeps crossing his arms over his chest, and I can't pry them apart. He's so strong that I can't even separate them."

"I don't think he wants to wear the sweater," you murmur uneasily, a mother's intuition beginning to stir.

The nurse approaches your little bull with professional efficiency. "Let me handle it. Up we go now! Into the sleeve, first the fist-that's the way."

She maneuvers the tiny arm through the sweater's opening. Suddenly, your little bull's face turns a deep shade of bluish-purple-red, and a resounding wail erupts, summoning every nurse on the floor to rush into the room. (It's less a wail and more a roar. The intern down the hall thought the basement boiler had exploded.) Your Taurus baby is declaring, loud and clear, that he despises being pushed. It's a warning. And it will be echoed.

Your neighbors shall bear witness to the same sound whenever you attempt to coerce your May-born child into actions they resist. Many minor struggles await you, from coaxing oatmeal into a firmly shut mouth to fitting an iron leg into rubber underwear or attempting to bathe a plump, pink body that has suddenly transformed into solid cement. You shall shed pounds and develop muscular strength. Mothers of Taurus children invariably possess the brawn of Popeye, though they may often appear as exhausted as Olive Oyl.

Beyond their sheer stubbornness, raising a Taurus child is a joyous experience. Parents of Taurean boys and girls shall find their little ones affectionate and cuddly. They revel in tight hugs, gentle caresses, and petting. The little bull, with a cowlick or curly forelock, shall leap onto your lap seeking kisses, leaving you breathless with their bear-like embraces. They shall bestow the same affection upon your friends, provided they trust them. The tiny Taurus girl shall flirt from her high chair, hoping to secure an extra serving of dessert. She is likely Daddy's little girl, her father finding it challenging to resist her captivating charm, just as Mommy struggles to resist her Taurean son's gentle sweetness. Children of both sexes shall possess robust health, strength, and a natural inclination towards athleticism. The boys shall embody quintessential boyhood, at times mischievous and lively, robust and resilient. The girls shall exhibit unmistakable femininity, tending to their dolls like miniature mothers, nurturing and maintaining an orderly playhouse. Some may even be tomboys, climbing trees or engaging in marble games with the boys. Yet, they possess a charm rooted in femininity that they will unleash frequently.

Taurus youngsters appear to be generally more capable, even as toddlers, compared to other children. Emotionally stable, they are rarely plagued by deep bouts of depression, impulsive behavior, or the desire to show off. While they may exhibit negativity, stubbornness, shyness, or timidity, they experience fewer ordinary hang-ups and growing pains. The Taurus temperament typically remains calm and pleasant. They are not easily agitated or disturbed, except when pushed beyond their limits. Their personalities exude smoothness, cheerfulness, and predictability. There is a maturity about them that surpasses children born under other Sun signs (with the exception of Capricorn and Scorpio). Even at a young age, Taureans tend to behave well in the presence of guests, content to engage in solitary play. Visitors often marvel at how well-behaved they are, believing them to have been impeccably trained.

A Taurean child quietly tends to their own affairs, and the young bull seldom embarrasses you with rudeness or a smart-alecky attitude. However, if you challenge their temper by teasing them (which they cannot tolerate), applying persistent pressure, or demanding that they engage in activities they adamantly oppose, they can become combative. The only escape from such defiance is love. Never force them. A Taurean child subjected to undue coercion may grow into a silent, brooding, and unkind adult. Remember, they cannot resist physical demonstrations of affection. A tender squeeze, a warm kiss, and a cheerful smile can coax them out of obstinacy. Always speak gently and logically. Yelling and issuing harsh commands will only cause them to close their eyes and ears. They can resist discipline and orders indefinitely. However, they cannot resist affection for a single moment.

Even at a young age, their minds respond to common sense. If it sounds reasonable to them, they will comply, provided there is a practical explanation. Nothing convoluted. Simply the plain, honest truth. Saying, "You must go to bed now because I said so," will yield no results whatsoever. It is neither sensible nor reasonable to them. However, softly spoken declarations such as, "It's time to go to bed now because we're turning off the lights. If you don't, you won't be able to go out to play tomorrow because you'll be too tired," will likely convince them to don their sleepwear and prepare for slumber. Similarly, saying, "Climb into your warm bed, between your soft, clean sheets, while I tuck you in snugly with your favorite baby bear blanket. Then I'll read you a little story," will cause their obstinacy to melt away, transforming them into compliant angels. Their sensual nature craves sensory descriptions, which seldom fail to elicit a response. Forcing them to comply with your demands is both futile and detrimental to their future development.

Colors and sounds profoundly impact their disposition and emotions. Bright, clashing oranges and reds in their environment can make them restless and obstinate. On the other hand, pastel hues, particularly shades of pink, rose, and various blues, yield almost magical results. The child shall visibly react to colors. When the colors harmonize with their Taurean vibrations, they shall remain tranquil. Discordant colors, in contrast, can disrupt their emotional equilibrium. Loud noises produce a similar effect.

It is advisable to provide a Taurus child with music or singing lessons at the earliest opportunity. Many of them possess soft, melodious voices, and a considerable number exhibit musical or vocal talent that should be nurtured in the right direction from a young age. Even if music does not become their career, they shall relish listening to it on their own little record player in their room. They may even prefer classical compositions to contemporary tunes or nursery rhymes. Drawing, coloring, or painting may also capture their interest, and there is a good chance that they possess genuine artistic ability. Ensure that your Taurus child has an abundance of paper and colored pencils, as this is their favored medium of self-expression.

Teachers often find Taurus children to be model students. Unless there are unfavorable planetary configurations in their birth chart, Taurean boys and girls demonstrate industriousness in school, methodically absorbing their lessons and displaying excellent concentration. While they may not be prodigies like their Gemini, Aquarius, or Aries counterparts, they are unlikely to be tardy or indulge in mischief during study hall (though they may burst into laughter if the teacher's finger becomes trapped in the pencil sharpener). Taurus youngsters are typically obedient, and their slow absorption of knowledge is offset by their unwavering retention of facts and dates once mastered. They tend to perform well on tests, diligently preparing for them. Due to their sense of fair play, sound judgment, and evident common sense, they are often chosen as leaders in group activities.

The Taurus child may occasionally present their elders with challenging moments due to their stubbornness, but such instances shall be few and far between. I recall a mother I know who took her young Taurean son to school one day and regretted not staying home to avoid the ordeal. The little bull had insulted his teacher, staunchly maintaining that her facts were incorrect. Naturally, she happened to be the author of the textbook. The following day, his mother led him to the teacher's desk, issuing a firm command: "Apologize to Miss Applegarden, Sammy." This transpired around nine in the morning. By noon, they found themselves in the principal's office, where the mother wearily repeated her demand: "Apologize to Miss Applegarden, Sammy." Later in the day, after the other students had been dismissed, the janitor was emptying trash cans when he overheard a peculiar, faint, trembling voice, almost ghostly, emanating from the inner sanctum. "Apologize to Miss Applegarden, Sammy," it implored. "For the last time, apologize." Through the closed door, the janitor detected the hollow sound of a wooden paddle meeting flesh. Then, silence. The following day, the little boy returned to his desk, having outlasted the teacher, his mother, and the principal. He never did apologize. But he made the honor roll.

Once you resign yourself to the fact that nothing short of a derrick can move your Taurus child once they plant their sturdy feet, you can delight in observing their growth. They may soil their clothes while playing with toy trucks and tractors, accumulating copious amounts of dirt, and the hair of young Taurean boys somehow manages to emit a distinct fragrance reminiscent of a cozy bird's nest, regardless of how often you wash it. Nonetheless, they will not misplace report cards or marbles. They will not recklessly drive Dad's car and wrap it around a telephone pole as they grow older. They may raid the refrigerator and consume the fried chicken you had set aside for dinner or be slightly too rough with the new furniture. Nevertheless, they will bring immeasurable joy to your heart as they mature. And they will never forget your birthday. As for your little Taurus girl, she may tear her party dress while climbing into her treehouse or fly into a rage when someone damages one of her cherished possessions. Nevertheless, she will assist you in baking gingerbread men, and she will always welcome you into her beautiful home once she has settled down happily with her own family. In either case, your grandchildren will likely be well-behaved.

Raise your little bull or heifer in a cozy and nurturing environment filled with love. Surround them with visible affection rather than invisible barriers. Avoid tugging on their horns too forcefully, and allow them to graze at their own serene pace. Fill their ears with music and their eyes with beauty, and they will fill your heart with tranquility in due time. Even Miss Applegarden will forgive them.
