I do agree with you saying that geminis do better with two like I thrive when I’m with close friends and loved ones one on one and when I’m big groups I can often feel secluded. As a kid I was very destructive in a literal sense I lied a lot, wasn’t very self aware, I broke things cause for the fun of it like poked holes in photos and smeared paint on things. I think being around good people has made me more self aware as I’m older but I’m only in my 20s and I’m still very self destructive. I’m always learning! I loved this video!
Gemnigons… Lol! I’d say I’m accidentally distinctive sometimes, and definitely unpredictable! I enjoyed this!
I’m a Gemini
As a Gemini myself, I think I’d characterize us as "compelled to challenge the status quo" which can inspire massive destruction or the creation of something incredible and new. Whether we are destructive or creative…kinda depends on what side of the fight you’re on when it all goes down. The eventual outcome and history usually assign the role of "hero" and "villain." We all think we’re the hero while our own story is happening. Whether history says we are or not…we will probably never get the chance to find out. So, ya know…all we can do is roll with whatever seems right at the time. Lol Better to burn out than fade away.
Kinda agree me an my husband are geminis
it actually looks like twins. bring the fire punk.
Gemini – its symbol is said to depict the twins Castor and Pollox can you do a video about this
Well, any Gemini knows that this whole “twins” thing is false … we are a cast of THOUSANDS. Depending on our mood and also depending upon who we are with, that particular side will emerge. You never know who is coming out to play when you’re with a Gemini. Destructive? We can be when we’re pushed. Loving and kind? Sure, if you deserve it. Wildly intelligent and extremely creative? Of course. We are the great and highly skilled Communicators of the Zodiac, and we – and our cast of thousands – communicate in many different ways.
How the hell do you have the money to keep moving like that???
I’ve had 32 fights, I get a little better each time I get in one.
I’m a gemini and bu best friends are taurus and cancer
I have met women that have been born on May 24th and 25th
Hmmm… idk jon I’m kinda disappointed in this one. I did learn some new things but it seems like a lot Is missing also.
scorpios are shallow so sure ill take destructive
The Gemini ♊️ I met was very dysfunctional destructive
disappointed you havent done the Centaur yet…hope you do soon 😉
In defense of Clytemnestra, she had excellent reason to kill Agamemnon. Agamemnon tricked Clytemnestra into bringing their young daughter Iphigenia to the camp where the Greeks were gathering to launch the war against the Trojans. Iphigenia was then sacrificed to the goddess Artemis in order to appease the goddess into freeing the winds so they could set sail for Troy. Clytemnestra obviously didn’t agree to any of this: she actually thought her daughter was going to be married to Achilles. Instead, she got her throat slit open, so that all the Greek kings and heroes could go off and fight a ten year war over Clytemnestra’s sister who did not want to be rescued in the first place. Honestly, I’ve never heard of a better reason for killing one’s spouse.
It’s destructive in a way that, whether we say it out loud or not, we crave drama. But most of time, non gemini peeps will see us as two-faced when in fact, every side of us you see is our real face. We just act the part so greatly that people thinks one of those faces are fake but when in fact, we actually honestly show how we feel during a certain situation.
I’M TOTALLY COMPETITIVE, MUSICAL, A GREAT CRAFTSMAN, A POET, AND I LOVE TO SPAR!
Me and my brother-in-law are both Geminis he was born May 21st I was born May 23rd
As a Gemini I think we can just be 2 faced assholes but really nice at the same time
Is there a video for Capricorn?
I’m a Gemini
The myth also represents duality
Gemini and I can also be a man or woman
As a Gemini we endorse this message
I like the painting. One dog goes one way the other one goes another. So what?
Cool!
I feel Geminis get such an unfair bad rep but this was entertaining
I’m a Gemini, I tend to keep to myself ALWAYS. I don’t like being around people because I feel their feelings x10. I get so drained. I do a lot of arts n crafts, reading, and music is my battery. I usually get labeled as fake but I just match ppls personality and mood where more like chameleons. I’ve used that to my advantage before like where I work if customers are angry I’m matching their anger and agreeing and validating then I take it down a notch at a time and they’ll do the same then I get them to a calm state and send them on their way. Gemini is a twin sign, ppl mistake that as us having two faces but really it means I’m the good twin but maybe the next Gemini you meet will be the evil twin. The most bad intentions I have are trying to say no to set my boundaries and standing my ground with my ex husband. I’m very much like a child which has made it super easy to raise my kids. I’m an animal lover/dog fanatic. And I have this thing…. It’s weird , but whoever I go out ppl I don’t know will unload their emotional baggage on me and I listen and even offer solutions options and food for thought. That drove my ex crazy because he hates helping ppl and I’m over here throwing my money at charities and taking in kids while the moms get it together.
i just call us Gems. that’s another tendency i’ve noticed about us… we shorten stuff and likely were the horrors that invented chat speak. (i’m actually the third or fourth gemini in my immediate family. so, yeah, got a bit of an idea.)
honestly though, i’m on the fence when it comes to the whole planet debate.
the truth is that each planet has Some pull on the earth in passing. we only really talk about the moon and the sun’s gravitational pull in science. but it stands to reason that if even passing Comets can muck us up, then whole freakin’ planets whizzing by would have Some issues.
though how something as far away and as small as Pluto and its partner could really do much, beats me. the larger closer ones though, yeah, i can see where they might have some effect on us lil ants.
that’s the only aspect i’m like, eh, it _could be_ question mark….?
mostly, it’s just another piece of flotsam n jetsam out there to use to study what makes us tick. none of it Too serious, just something to consider n ponder.
the way that i’m a gemini and a musician
Been called a great communicator, good listener. Too nice, but don’t make me mad. People are often completely thrown back when i have to pop. I always hear "I never expected that from you". Not something I’m proud of or speak on at all cause i hate that side of me. It’s hard to switch back over. But if need be… I’ll burn it all down with a smile in my face, go to jail, get out and do it again if you don’t act right. That being said, it takes a lot to get me there. So i honestly am not sure of your answer. Or i don’t want it to be right.
On the destructive part, I’d say it depends on our mood, which I can confirm swings insanely fast. Not even I can keep up with myself, and bless my Capricorn mother for having such patience with me! ♡♡♡
Gemini check in!❤
Not all Geminis are bad it’s just depends what mood they’re in it’s a balance some days they can be in a good mood something to complete assholes not all Geminis are destructive it just depends what mood they’re in if they’re in a good mood nothing will happen if they’re in a bad mood something will happen
Why would you insult Jon Solo the compliment him. Makes no sense.
wow… i never knew this … TBH i just realized most of my closest friends are scorpion and the reason is their unfiltered honesty…
As a Gemini, I’m offended you think we are destructive. Makes me want to break something.
My brother shares the same birthday as me but he is not my real brother
Ironically, both my mom and dad were Gemini.
I was born June 21 first sooooo some say I’m a Gemini, while others say I’m a Cancer. Personality wise, I’m the mixture of both. Very competitive, moody, and sarcastic, at least that’s what my friends say when we play anything together.
