The Shadow

The sign of Gemini is often one of the least understood in the entire zodiac. As the sign of the Twins, Castor and Pollux, it has sometimes been confused with excess of the "if one is good, two is better", variety. Geminis are sometimes labeled as scattered chatterboxes, or as airy dreamers who haven't got the slightest clue how to ground themselves. At their worst, they talk too much, and ruin every conversation. At their best, they create masterpieces, by directing that energy towards something meaningful or moving.
Persons born under the sign of Gemini have a deep-seated need to communicate. They are ruled by Mercury, planet of communication - talking, e-mailing, public speaking, writing, and most of all, self-expression. When they manifest this energy at a low level, they can talk all the time without listening, or be the perpetual teacher when they'd do better assuming the role of student once in a while. But when they manifest this Mercury energy at a high level, Gemini natives can compose our most beautiful sonnets, or pen our greatest novels.

Their ruling element of air only doubles this effect. Planets in air signs are often associated with creativity, since under their influence, people seem to be out of it, walking on air, or with their head in the clouds somewhere. This grants them a unique perspective on all we don't see in our waking lives. Geminis are many things to many people. They are like faceted jewels, with various dimensions and aspects. It may take us a long time to get to know a person born under the sign of Gemini really well, but it's more than likely worth the effort.
They're Flexible
Singer Nikka Costa, born June 4, 1972, is the daughter of a famed arranger, composer, and producer who worked with industry greats like Frank Sinatra, Dinah Washington, Tony Bennett, and Sarah Vaughn. Costa grew up in a house full of music and musicians, and got her start at the age of five, performing with Don Ho in Hawaii for a Christmas album produced by her father. At eight, she opened up for the Police in Chile before screaming 300,000 fans, using her unique vocal style, a hybrid of phrasing from jazz standards and modern R&B. Her father died when she was 10, and even though she kept performing, her life has had a series of ups and downs. Throughout this time, she seemed always to be flexible enough to deal with what life brought. Her move to Australia put her in touch with a new crop of writing and producing talent, but it's last year's Everybody Got Their Something that made her a star, especially when one if its songs was used in a Tommy Hilfiger commercial. As she moves forward with her exciting career, Costa seems poised and ready for anything, thanks to her Gemini flexibility.
They're Versatile
Leah Rimini, born June 15, 1970, started her career in the all-but forgotten television series Living Dolls, a spin-off of Who's the Boss? Since then, she's honed her acting chops in comedies like Saved By the Bell and Biker Mice from Mars (yes, really, as a voice-over artist). But she came to national attention in 1998, when she appeared in The King of Queens with actor Kevin James. Though her working class heroine Carrie Heffernan can be sometimes put upon and long-suffering, what with living under the same roof as her husband's father, Rimini brings her a sense of tenacity that makes her really fun to watch. And expanding her range even further, Rimini appeared in last year's Old School, with Will Ferrell and Luke Wilson. Hopefully, we have many more years of laughs from this master of versatility.

Johnny Depp, born June 9, 1963, is a true Gemini, though sometimes, you wouldn't guess it. He is seemingly shy and soft-spoken in interviews, but alternately moving and hilarious when you place him in front of a camera. Last year's performance in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. And in this years' Secret Window, recently opened in theaters, he even plays a writer struggling with his characters, one of which has seemingly come to life. But the common thread, though out all of his roles, is his sense of curiosity about his characters. From Edward Scissorhands to Lucky Jack Sparrow, Depp brings a sense of compassion and a deeper need to know who these characters are inside, despite their seeming strangeness.
They're Sociable
L.A. Reid, June 7, 1956, aka Antonio Reid, got his start in the music business over twenty years ago, when he was the drummer and manager of 1980s R&B band the Deele, with Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds. And that friendship has certainly paid off for him in the years since then. When the band broke up, Reid went on to produce top-selling artists like Paula Abdul, Boys II Men, and Bobby Brown, among others, and started his own successful record label, called LaFace Records. Subsequently, he was hired on as CEO of Arista Records, where he helped guide Pink, Usher, Dido and OutKast to Grammy wins. Through all of his success, though, Reid has never lost sight of his earliest friendships, and given them the props they deserve in helping to sustain his musical career.
They're Dualistic
Clint Eastwood, born May 31, 1930, has worn many hats in his long and storied career, both literally and figuratively. He began as a cowboy actor, the television series Rawhide, and parlayed that burgeoning fame into roles in A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, with Sergio Leone. His film career took on a new dimension when he started Malpaso Productions, and started to write, direct, and produce motion pictures in 1971, with Play Misty for Me. An amazing twenty-four films later (as director), he directed Mystic River, which was nominated for numerous Academy Awards this year, winning for Best Actor Sean Penn and Best Supporting Actor Tim Robbins. Clint's latest hat is as an accomplished jazz musician and aficionado. He has composed the music for nine of his films, including Mystic River and The Bridges of Madison County. And that may just personify dualistic!
