Air is your paired element and being a Gemini, your connection with air is more fluid than any other zodiac sign. The qualities of moving air inspire you and help to push your constant curiosity.

In the rare moments when you become stagnant, you are overcome with emotional and social distance.

Mercury is the ruling planet of the Gemini, but because you are born in the third Decan, or part of the sign, you are also influenced by the planet Uranus. The power of Mercury is materialized in the fast workings of your mind, while the power of Uranus is seen in your drive to be original. Uranus keeps you off the beaten path, which explains why you are such an original and free spirit. Your quest for intellectual and personal freedom is one of your greatest assets, but, at times, makes it impossible to focus your energies. To help solve this issue, take time to evaluate the strength of your interests.
