I was told that I’m a “double-Gemini (both the sun and the moon were in Gemini when I was born) with Pisces rising”.

A lot of people say, “Oh. _That_ explains it!” (My personality)

But since I’m not into astrology, what the heck is my “sign” supposed to mean?

Well, Gemini is the sign of communication - geminis are supposed to be very expressive & creative. Looks like Pisces is an amiable, giving sign. The rising sign is supposed to as critical to personality as the sun sign. The moon probably indicates your “feminine” side 😉 I was told that some women were more influenced by the moon sign than the sun sign.

So are you a very expressive, yet easygoing person?

There are at least a dozen planets to locate, plus the relationships between the planets are supposed to also have an effect. This is how astrologist answer those nasty questions like “We’re both Leos, and we’re not a bit alike” 😃

Note, I take this with a BIG grain of salt, but for me it actually seems to work -

Sun sign Taurus - earthy, stubborn, like pleasurable activities like eating and music

Moon sign Gemini - Communication is my leitmotif, dancing, expressive nature (venus is also in this sign)

Rising sign Aries - Driver, I am very decisive.

…in a state so nonintuitive it can only be called weird…

## Hmmm… Actually, I am fairly expressive and easy-going. Weird, eh?

Well, according to the [Skeptic’s Dictionary](http://www.skepdic.com)…  
If you want to know  
who controls your soul  
don’t look to Mars or Venus;  
Look instead to the President  
for the danger’s in his penis.
