Gemini Houses: Where You're Split in Two

​Gemini is symbolized by the Twins, and ruled by Mercury. This makes Gemini a dual sign, one with two sides.

This means that wherever you have Gemini in your natal chart, that area is one where you may find you're split in two. You have "two" in some way - sometimes very literally!

About Gemini:

Gemini is an air sign, along with Libra and Aquarius. The air signs are the signs of the mind, intellectual and sociable, and aware of the moving times. These signs can weigh options and have varied opinions.

Gemini is also a mutable sign, along with Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. The mutable signs are the ones that flow. They ebb and flow, come and go. They're highly adaptable and flexible, so they can start one way and go another very easily.

Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, who is always going, always thinking, always on the move. Mercury is a fast planet who can cover lots of terrain, and this helps Gemini to manage its dual nature.

So, Gemini is a sign that is moving constantly, has varied perspectives, and has a strong dual nature. The areas of life ruled by the house in your natal chart that falls in Gemini gets this energy. 

Gemini Houses:

• 1st house: This house rules the outer self, so you can come across like a Gemini - highly sociable, engaging, and always moving. But, you may also seem like you have lots of different sides to yourself, and some people may see one mask while others see another. Makes it hard to figure you out!
• 2nd house: This is the house of money, so a Gemini 2nd house can show you make money in a Gemini way (like through technology or electronics, writing, teaching, or using your mind in some way), or that you will literally make money in two different ways (so you may always make money from a regular job and a side gig, or you may end up making money one way for part of your life, another way for the rest).
• 3rd house: This is the house that naturally connects with Gemini, so you can feel more at ease with some of the energy here. Your interests can be varied, you can have plenty of opinions, and your mind can be fast. You may constantly think about two different things.
• 4th house: This is the house of the home and family, so your home and family life may be very Gemini, and there's lots of activity and lots of communication. You can get easily bored at home with lots to do, so you may always be working on two home projects, two family matters, and you may live in two places. Gemini also rules siblings and cousins, so you may live near or with them.
• 5th house: This house rules love and creativity, so you may have two major hobbies you love, or two main loves in your life. This house rules children, so you may have two (or have a Gemini child!). 
• 6th house: This house rules your work and daily life, so a Gemini 6th house may show you need a highly active daily and work life. Without that activity, you can lose interest and focus easily. You may have two main jobs in your life, or find you work two jobs a lot. Your work may be Gemini-based (in writing or teaching, with technology or electronics, something involving the mind, etc.).
• 7th house: This house rules your relationships, so you may have Gemini relationships - very active, mentally stimulating, but sometimes really short! You may have two main relationships in your life, or two main partners in some way. The people you attract may be like Geminis (or actually are).
• 8th house: This house rules transformations, so yours may be mental transformations. You may need to work on getting control over your mind, and this may take a dual approach. There may be two deeply held issues that need to be addressed. 
• 9th house: This house rules your beliefs, so yours may be quite varied. You may pick up some from here and there, though you may be heavily influenced by your immediate environment. This house rules higher learning, so you may deeply study two different things in your life.
• 10th house: This house rules your goals and direction, so a Gemini 10th house may show you're always working on two goals, or you have two main goals in your life. You may have two different careers in your life as well. You need excitement and mental stimulation in whatever you do, and it may be ruled by Gemini.
• 11th house: This house rules your friends and dreams, so you may always have two best friends, always have two dreams, or generally have two main dreams for your life. Your dreams need to be exciting and let you use your mental energy, otherwise you may jump from one to another quickly.
• 12th house: This house rules spirituality and the hidden, so you may be a busy bee when you're working on your own and away from others. You may always be juggling two different things behind the scenes, and may be supportive of two different projects or people. You may have varied spiritual beliefs and interests, and opt for what you connect with mentally.​
