| Gemini tends to be self absorbed and narcissistic people. They don’t care for others. They seek for attention and cannot put themselves in others shoes. They will only ever think of themselves. They’ll instantly act offended if you approach them with your feelings. They often try to make you feel guilty for sharing your feelings. Often want the spot light. Everything is about them. They do not show emotion or care about others feelings or how they treat them. They have no empathy for others. They’ll manipulate and make others question themselves. They want all the attention focused on them. Often, very robotic. | |||

Mythology
In Babylonian astronomy, the stars Pollux and Castor were known as the Great Twins. Their names were Lugal-irra and Meslamta-ea, meaning "The Mighty King" and "The One who has arisen from the Underworld". Both names are titles of Nergal, a major Babylonian god of plague and pestilence, who was king of the underworld.
In Greek mythology, Gemini is associated with the myth of Castor and Pollux. Pollux was the son of Zeus, who seduced Leda, while Castor was the son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta and Leda's husband. When Castor died, because he was a mortal, Pollux begged his father Zeus to give Castor immortality, which was done through uniting them together in the heavens.
In popular culture
Sage the Gemini, born Dominic Wynn Woods, took his stage name from his zodiac sign Gemini and the color of his eyes.
NASA named its two-person space capsule Project Gemini after the zodiac sign because the spacecraft could carry two astronauts.
