Got wind of this from Miao. I've always found this kind of stuff interesting. Look how mine turned out.
Draco Malfoy, born June 5, is a brilliant example of Gemini twin double-sidedness. Not only does he function as Harry Potter's "other" side and nemesis, but JK Rowling keeps us guessing which side Malfoy is truly on all the way through six of her seven books! He also has the looks of an angel – the traditional blonde hair which none of the other characters have – but behaves like an angel's opposing twin. Another example of the twin flip side of Gemini.

Gemini's ruling planet is Mercury, the winged messenger who delights in stirring up mischief, and rules motion, speech, speed and change. Hence the word "mercurial" which is so true of Malfoy. Gemini is wicked fast and smart. Remember how fast Malfoy is on his broomstick?

Behind-the-scenes Gemini Muggles:
Jason Isaacs who plays Draco Malfoy's father Lucius whose birthday is just one day after his fictional son's! And talk about ruling motion– the motion control previs supervisor for all the Harry Potter movies is a Gemini.

I was writing an article on astrology and I happened across this site with really nice zodiac descriptions. I'm a Gemini and this is what it said about The Twins.

Ruling House
Gemini is the third Sign of the Zodiac. It is also called the “House of Communication” or, in Vedic Astrology, as the “Place of the Goddess of the Moon”. Just like the ruling house, Geminis love to communicate. But make no mistake about it, Geminis do not just indulge in mindless chatter, the driving force is still the mind.

Geminis are probably the most intellectual of the twelve signs. They are constantly searching for ways to gather information, knowledge or skills. What Geminis also love to do is share the information they have with others, for developing relationships is another of their many traits. It is always fun to be with Geminis because they are bright, quick-witted and the life of any party. Life with a Gemini can never be boring. Truly free spirits, driven by curiosity and a never-ending desire to know, they usually are involved in several activities at once. It is in this kind of chaos, that Geminis thrive.

Another interesting trait inherent to Geminis is their morality. Although self interest is still a primary motivator, Geminis are known to be honest and straightforward. Whatever course of action they choose they do without any measure of deviousness or guile.

Aside from being a house of communication, the Third House also operates on "automatic pilot," meaning, performance of routine tasks can be done without any conscious thought. The house is also associated with siblings, basic education, hand-eye coordination, and manual dexterity.

Ruling Planet
Ruled by the Planet Mercury, Geminis are indeed, mercurial. Like the Roman messenger god, Geminis are quick-thinking, quick-witted and fast on their feet. Geminis are always in constant motion. In social gatherings, Geminis can be seen moving from one group of company to the next. If they are bored, they will start fidgeting and, once again, long for flight.

Ruling Element
Air is Geminis ruling element. Air has been associated with thinking, and those under this sign value intellect over all else. The ability to think clearly and logically, the skill at looking at any project from at least two different perspectives make Geminis an asset to any team. Though not inclined to lead, Geminis make good follower.

Geminis are also capable of bringing this objective reasoning into their personal relationships. Though this approach is sometimes considered cold and emotional, it's what makes Geminis what they are.

Through the influence of Air and Mercury, Geminis will always retain a youthful exuberance and light spirit that will forever make them appear young.

Compatibility
Geminis are most compatible with signs that share their element. Amusing, tolerant and clever Librans will keep Geminis guessing, and the fascinating, ambitious and equally moody Aquarians will be a perfect match to Geminis. Other suitable partners would be Aries and Leo.

Just like the forbidden fruit, Scorpios and Capricorns are irresistible to Geminis. It is important to note, however, that Geminis and these two signs mix perfectly, just like oil and water.

Other Information
The star stone of Gemini is the moss agate, known to be beneficial to Geminis who suffer circulatory problems, and aid in giving their intuitive powers. Geminis are susceptible to diseases of the nervous system and illnesses in the upper body. Thus, Geminis are advised to practice yoga or other exercises that involve deep breathing.

Don't you find it amazing how these things seem to be right on the money? I mean, they are supposed to be generalities, right? So does that mean I am not as unique as I thought I was? Also, all this time I thought I was an AIR sign. Turns out I'm metal. Go figure.

metalThose of you born under the influence of the Chinese Astrology element of Metal are determined, self-reliant and forceful. You enjoy the good life and all it has to offer -- luxury, comfort and freedom, especially. You're like a reclusive film star: You want the acclaim, but you also want to be left alone. You create your own success, building your desired destiny with single-minded focus. Others look up to you in awe of your commanding, confident presence.

While you Metal individuals are strong and virtuous, you can be a bit set in your ways. No arm-wrestling with the metallic ones, either; they might break that appendage in two! You can be a stern taskmasters as well, demanding the most from yourself and those you love.

Determined Metal Signs always go after what they want! Are you making the right decisions?



Blog EntryIt's a Dog's worldJan 25, '06 1:18 PM
for everyone
Since my sister, Gigi posted hers on her blog, I thought I may as well take a peek at and post mine.  I'm a dog, so here's what it says about me ...

dogIn the West, the Dog is man's best friend, but in Chinese Astrology this Sign is a little more unpredictable than that. Dogs are loyal, faithful and honest and always stick to their firm codes of ethics. However, this Sign has trouble trusting others. It's generally quite trustworthy itself -- except for the occasional "little white lies" the Dog tells in order to make things go more smoothly. The Dog makes a wonderful, discreet and loyal friend (despite any white lies) and is an excellent listener. This Sign tends to root for the underdog and its keen sense of right and wrong makes it duty-bound to the core. The Dog's mantra seems to be, Live right, look out for the little people and fight injustice whenever possible.

Dogs can also be rather dogmatic, too. They don't go in for light social banter; instead, they go straight for home, expostulating on the topics that are most important to them. At these times the Dog's narrow-minded or stubborn side can become apparent; this Sign has trouble staying light and calm when an important issue is at stake. This Sign can also be very temperamental; mood swings characterize its emotional life and often the Dog needs to run off to be alone in order to recuperate. Part of the problem is the result of this Sign's load of irrational fears that turn into niggling anxieties that turn into hurt feelings and occasional grouchiness. This sensitive Sign needs to warm up to others over time and gradually learn to trust them. Without that trust as a foundation, Dogs can be judgmental and coarse.

The Dog's discerning nature does make it an excellent business person, one who can turn that picky, guarded nature into a keen sense of the truth of another's motives. Where love is concerned, Dogs often have a tough time finding the right match. They can be so anxious and overwrought in the romance dance that they'll stress their partner to the max! In any forum, this Sign is happiest when able to be quite physically active; at home or at work, the Dog will always be constructing something new or cleaning something up in order to make things better. Dogs need to work on controlling their irrational worries and would also be well-served to relax their mile-high standards, which can sometimes wind up alienating the ones they love.

The most compatible match for a Dog is the Tiger or the Horse .

Blog EntryThe Dog in the year of the DogJan 22, '06 11:01 AM
for everyone
Thanks to my friend Raven for sharing the predictions for his animal. Ok ... so what are the predictions for the Dog this year?



The Dog personality is loyal, righteous and noble. Intuitive and capable, the Dog will exhibit a caring disposition and always hold an open ear. The Dog's extraordinary insight and cooperationcan finely tune and distinguish the good from the evil. Stability earmarked with a penchant to endure suffering, the Dog is a trusted friend who none can compare to.

The Dog is honest to a fault, and is cheerful, fun and very loyal to loved ones. Best friend material!

For career this 2006, the Dog this will be inundated with lots of surprises and shocks this Dog year! There are plenty of ups and downs for you this year, but you will enjoy yourself every step of the way. Try to learn from your mistakes during those down moments, and capitalize the moments when you are on top form. Embrace new opportunities, and do not be afraid to experiment and venture in uncharted territories! But, do not be rash in making judgments and double-check on all documentation.

Concerning love matters, the Dog may even feel a little lonely at times this 2006, and feel very secretive about this situation. The best thing the Dog can do is to speak out his or her feelings and emotions! Though you may feel like bottling up, do tell a friend or your partner about how you feel. Keep optimistic, and have a positive outlook in love and relationship matters!

Work and daily stress will cause insufficient sleep for the Dog, causing weakness to the immune system.  Rather than fall to sicknesses, the Dog needs to balance work and personal time to ensure proper rest. Keep your spirits (and metabolism rate!) up by joining the gym, or participating on other physical activities. These will be very good for you.

Looks like I am going to have a roller coaster year on all fronts. Hope I come out on top.
