Knowing is half the battle

“Knowing is half the battle”

(Gem·i·ni·an (j m -n n, -n -). n. One who is born under the sign of Gemini)

Although today I understand just how much of a Geminian I really am it hasn’t always been that way. I became intrigued with Geminian about 10 years ago while at the library sifting through astrology books trying to understand what was what in this life. Yeah I know a little deep but sometimes when all sounds stops and motion is still just for a millisecond the question crosses our mind, weather we hear it in plan sound or just in thought, why things are the way they are?

After reading a brief introduction of what a Geminian is I was beside myself. I couldn’t believe it, it was as if I was reading a book about me, the me that was deep inside, this book knew things about me that only I would know so for a moment I was nervous and excited, confused and just beside myself. And just like that my world changed I was determined to find out if anything what this meant for me and how can it be so accurate, like a typical Geminian. I was intrigued with what I found I decided to do a “sign test”.

I sat down and wrote a list from left to right about my personality, things only I would know about me for example my likes and dislikes, my good traits and my not so good traits (We all have them), what makes me tick and what makes me toc. After the list was done I took the day printing and reading (again from work) pages and pages of what the world thought the traits of a Geminian consisted of.

I spent the next few days doing a “similarity check” on all of the print outs, pulling information that was found on each listing, basically cross referencing the “facts”. Almost determined to find the opposites in the “traits” (typical Gemini). After creating a “MASTER LIST” I then pulled out my list from which I created about myself and held it against the “MASTER LIST”, and to my surprise the similarities where unbelievable I match the “MASTER LIST” 99.9%...99.9% folks.

That was the moment I decided I was who I was supposed to be. I think sometimes it’s healthy to take time to determine if the person you are is who you are supposed to be or if you’ve become a shell of influences caused by the life we live, the people we know and the one’s who raised us. In the back of our minds way deep in our subconscious we never forget who we are but It’s crazy what we go through without knowing to discover what we already know. So why does it take so long to find who we are, when who we are was never lost to be found?
