Mabey 80% of Twins are Gemini?

I am Gemini, don’t have a twin though.

\*\*As a side note, while astrology can be amusing and entertaining, I put no stock into it.

Okay, as a Gemini I will explain to those of you who are astrologically challenged.

We have evil twins.

Like in soap operas.

Really?

As a Gemini, I’m in two minds about the whole thing.

My sister, neice, fiance and I are all Geminis. None of us are twins. Ask your friend where she came across that little tidbit of information.

Multiple births are a biological phenomena, not astrological. The planets and stars have about as much affect on a woman’s eggs and a man’s sperm as the booger I picked out of my nose last week has on pork belly futures.

I used to scoff at astrological “nonsense”. But all things considered, I’m a leo, and admittedly I can’t control the urge to hunt prey and eat their raw flesh. It was only when I delved into astrology that I was able to justify this.
