Gist of the Gemini

I have an Aries Rising Sign. It's strongly aspected by Mercury and Jupiter in Gemini and Uranus in Virgo. In line with my Aries Rising Sign, people often see me as aggressive, firey, even combative.

Uranus is an intellectual planet, sometimes called the higher octave of Mercury and/or Jupiter, if I recall correctly. So it basically represents extreme intelligence, AKA genius or brilliance . The Opposition is 180 degrees and that which is opposite something is often not really THAT different. Frequently, it's more like the mirror image . If you want to be REALLY diffe...
