The myth of Gemini

Often the constellation Gemini depicts in the form of the spirit of the brothers, the two Dioscuri or heavenly twins. They are children of the same mother Leda, but different fathers: the mortal Tindareus and the immortal Zeus. According to legend, Leda was wife Tindareus, the king of Sparta, but Zeus who seduced Leda in the guise of a swan. So Castor was the mortal son of Tindareus, and Pollux the divine son of Zeus. When one of the brothers, Castor, was killed, then the second persuaded Zeus to allow him to share with his brother immortality, because Pollux very fond of his brother and did not imagine his life without him. As a result, they have become inseparable and spend alternate days on Olympus as gods, and in Hades, the realm of the dead, as deceased mortals. That’s why Gemini are so different and often surprise others with their impermanence.

Gemini is also a sign of the union of two opposing principles – the female negative energy of yin and the male positive energy yang. The Gemini sign is a mix of these two energies.

John Kennedy was the most loving president in US history. Like all Gemini, he had a light, cheerful character. John was born on May 29, 1917 in Brooklyn, Massachusetts. In addition to him, there were eight other children in the family. His father was from Ireland. For a short time he managed to become one of the richest people in the country and give the children a wonderful education. John Kennedy, studying in college, managed to combine study with countless random novels, than he earned the glory of the playboy. As true Gemini, he confined himself to fleeting connections, trying not to enter into a serious relationship with anyone. At the age of 29 Kennedy becomes a member of the House of Representatives, and at 35 falls into the Senate. As a rule Gemini marry more than once. Their nature is too multifacete. But the later they marry, the more likely that their union will not fall apart. So it happened with Jacqueline Bouvier. The president met with her when he was over 40. Nevertheless the marriage did not prevent him from leading the old way of life. He was cheating on his wife constantly. Only shortly before his tragic death, the president realized finally that he was in vain looking for happiness on the side.
