Recommended: Observation of the constellations

I have chosen the constellation Gemini. I find this constellation to be interesting partly because my astral sign is Gemini and I because that the story behind it is very unique. The appearance of the constellation itself is also pleasing to the eye. Gemini literally means "twins" in Latin and is commonly associated with the twins of Greek mythology; Castor and Pollux. The symbol associated with it is the Roman numeral 2, which looks like two I's stuck together. In astrology, it is the third sign with 85 visible stars. The constellation can be found between Taurus and Cancer; Taurus to the west and Cancer to the east. Auriga and Lynx are located north from it and Monoceros and Canis Minor are located south of it.

It is also the third largest constellation in the sky. I recognize that the Big Dipper is not a constellation, this creation story is too good to pass up sharing. I love sharing it whenever I am camping with friends and the sky is clear enough to see it. This story is of Native American orgiin.

The constellation is visible from the northern hemisphere from late winter to early spring.

    It was not up until 200 years ago that people started identifying their zodiac sign with the position of the Sun. So when a person is asked what is his or sign, the Sun was passing through on the day that person was born. This can be demonstrated on a birth chart. Our birth charts are special "sky maps" which reflect the quality of the exact moment we drew our first breath. With that first breath, we each began our own incredible hero's journey through life on planet Earth. The birth positions of the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all play their own unique symbolic roles as messengers and ambassadors of the universe.
