"THE SUN IN GEMINI. ☉ in ♊. III. ☉ in ♊. The Sun in Gemini as the motive force behind the lunar expression gives a dualistic, restless and irritable tendency, the desires always running on intellectual lines. The individual character will be dual in expression, so that there is less permanency than in either of the foregoing solar positions. Nevertheless, the will power is strong, and there is some pride or love of pedigree"

The Message of the Stars

Max Heindel
1913
"Gemini, the Twins When Gemini is rising the body generated is tall and slender; the arms and limbs are particularly long, fingers slender, hair dark, eyes hazel. Gemini people are quick, active and alert in all their movements, habitual resltessness is noticeable in the expression of the eye which differs in that respect from more fixed tendencies of the eyes of those born under the two preceeding signs, although of course we do not mean that the Arian always looks angry and the Taurian stubborn, nevertheless, there is a settled tendency in those directions noticeable when these people are not occupied in a certain direction, but the Gemini person has an expression which is much more vivid, changeable and past finding out. They have acutely enquiring minds, always want to know the reason why, but often lack persistence to follow clews to the end, and thus meet disappointment. Being tactful they avoid giving offense even under provocation"
