You have a special ability to influence people and you delight in sporting with the opposite sex. You have an adaptable, dual personality.

Among the planets, Venus has a special affinity with a person born under this sign, while Mars, the Sun and Jupiter produce adverse results. The Moon is a killer, but if posited with favorable planets may yield auspicious results. However, the Moon, who is the Lord of the 2nd, does not become a death significator (Maraka) for a person born under Gemini Ascendant. You will have a dear spouse, be fond of ornaments, charitable, respectable, will have two mothers, will be favorable even to your enemies, interested in music, fine arts, amusement and poetry, be gentle, fond of beautification, conceited, truthful, impatient, crafty, will possess limbs of irregular sizes, be of fierce appearance, will destroy even fearful enemies, and be endowed with lands, jewels, gold etc.
