Take Exam (Pay Later)Gemini (Mithuna): The Spin Doctor
The Essence
Gemini is the realization that truth is relative and reality is negotiable. Ruled by Mercury, it is the archetype of the Trader—not just of goods, but of information, narratives, and identities. It is the fear of boredom disguised as curiosity. Gemini knows that if you keep moving, keep talking, and keep changing masks, the darkness can never catch you.
