A HOROSCOPE OF THE MONTHS.

BY MARION Y. BUNNER.

What the Old Astrological Traditions Say as to the Characteristics and
the Destiny of Those Born Under the Sign "Gemini."

GEMINI: THE TWINS.

MAY 20 to JUNE 18.

CUSP: RUNS MAY 20 to MAY 26.

The constellation Gemini--the third sign of the zodiac--is the positive
pole of the Air Triplicity, governing the shoulders, arms, and hands. It
is a masculine, common, double-bodied, commanding sign. The higher
attributes are reason and sensation.

A person born in the period of the cusp, when the sun is on the edge of
the sign, does not receive the full benefits of the individuality of
either sign, but partakes of the characteristics of both Gemini and
Taurus.

Most Gemini persons have two natures, and these are of a contradictory
character. They are affectionate, generous, courteous, and kind to all.
They are endowed with probity, an accommodating disposition, a temper
quickly irritated but just as quickly calmed. The sign gives its subjects
natural inventive genius, and with it a love of science and a talent for
commerce.

In judgment they can be relied upon to give a far-sighted view, supported
by argument of a very clear and convincing nature. They are intensely
aspiring and energetic; are great lovers of education, and set great value
upon attainments in literature, science, and art. They take a practical
and philosophical view of things.

The Gemini people are usually well-formed, of dark hair and bright
complexion, with a round forehead, and a cold, but intellectual and
restless expression of the eyes. The physical temperament is
sanguine-bilious in a southern latitude, and bilious-nervous in a northern
one.

The chief fault of this sign is impatience. Gemini people are prone to
scatter their forces. They are continually finding fault, and they are
prone to look upon the dark side of life.

The union of these with persons born under Aquarius or Virgo will be
harmonious, and the offspring is usually very bright and quick of
intellect. Children born in this sign should be associated with persons
who are quiet and restful.

The governing planet is Mercury, and the gems are beryl, aquamarine, and
dark-blue stones. The astral colors are red, blue, and white.

April and August are the lucky months for a Gemini subject, and Wednesday
