Gemini Rising

In Astrology, the planet that rules the Ascendant is the "chart ruler" and the lens through which all other aspects of the chart are focused and considered.   The Ascendant (aka Rising Sign) represents how we perceive our ideal self to be, as well as how we want to be perceived by others. It is both a mask we wear and the lens through which we perceive the world. Even if you have a poorly aspected, dark, and brooding Scorpio Moon, you may still perceive yourself as an optimist if your Rising Sign is Sagittarius (the eternal optimist).

People with Gemini rising tend to be very mentally active, friendly, flexible, talkative, indecisive, like to do two or more things at once, witty, clever, high-strung, temperamental, nervous or anxious, superficial, and always ready for something different.

There may be two distinct sides to you as Gemini represents the Twins. You have a strong need to communicate what you already know and to learn more. You enjoy reading and traveling as they both give plenty of scope for picking up new knowledge.

You need variety and can be the jack of all trades and the master of none. You tend to go wide — for breadth, not depth. You may appear confident, but you can lack self-confidence and inner sureness. You love to talk, both with your mouth as well as your hands. If you cook, you probably like to dice things finely (perhaps too much).

Spiritual lesson to learn: Control (learn to control and not scatter energies and to prioritize). Mercury rules Gemini, so Mercury will be important in your chart.
