Were you born on May 24th? If so, then according to Western astrology, your zodiac sign is Gemini, the sign of the twins. This means that when you were born, the Sun was in the stars that make up the constellation known as Gemini. Let's delve into the basics of your horoscope.
Gemini Overview
Gemini is known as मिथुन (mithuna) in Sanskrit, meaning "twins." Each sign of the zodiac is characterized by certain basic traits. Let's explore the general makeup of the Gemini sign:
- Sign of the Twins: Gemini natives are charming and talkative, but they may sometimes display a "know-it-all" attitude.
- Ruled by Mercury: Mercury is the planet of thought, communication, and literature. Mercurial individuals are hard to predict and have quick minds.
- An Air Sign: Those with a Gemini moon are imaginative, logical, and curious.
- A Dual Sign: Persons born under this sign are adaptable and multi-talented.
- A Masculine Sign: This makes the native aggressive, bold, and thick-skinned.
- Gemini's Preferred Gemstone is Emerald: Geminis can also benefit from green tourmaline and peridot.
Traits of the Sun in Gemini
In Western Astrology, a person's sign is determined by the position of the Sun. If you were born on May 24th, then you're considered a Gemini according to the Western world. While the Sun's influence in your birth chart will vary based on various factors, here are some general traits likely to be found in a Gemini native:
- Intelligence: You have a sharp mind and excel at solving complex problems. Others may seek your guidance and help in their personal lives.
- Academic Success: You will thrive in your studies as you possess a strong memory and a natural fondness for learning.

- Multiple Mother Figures: As the sign of the twins, you may have a strong second mother figure in your life.
Gemini Careers
As a Gemini native, your curiosity and intellect lead you to develop proficiency in many different areas. You may never be satisfied working a single job and may pursue side hobbies for supplemental income. Recommended careers for Geminis include anything involving communication, performance, or the sciences. Diplomacy, law, medicine, academia, creative writing, and critical analysis are fields where Geminians thrive. However, you may want to avoid career paths that limit creative freedom or require a high level of empathy.
