General Traits Independent Geminis are freedom loving, who like to live life on their own terms. They are highly individualistic and do not like to be told things. Any kind of rules or restrictions do not go down well with them. Indecisive One of the drawbacks of a Gemini is that they are unable to take decisions on their own. This indecisiveness is a peculiarity commonly found in both males as well as females. Although they are very intelligent people, yet due to the duality in their nature, they are unable to decide on one particular thing. Great Communicator No one in the Zodiac can talk, argue, put his point across, and impress other people with his communication like a Gemini. They are the communication kings of the Zodiac, who are very good at giving advice or persuading people. This characteristic makes them ideal for jobs such as a talk show host, publicist, or a marketing professional. Intellectual Geminis are very curious people who like to explore new places and meet new people. They like to do all such things which add to their experience and knowledge. They are intelligent, witty, and bright, and can be great company for someone looking for a mental stimulation. Adept at Multitasking Geminis are capable of taking care of a number of things simultaneously. Although they can be quite fickle and may not even finish the projects that they have started, when they do put their heart in something, they can work very fast and efficiently, taking up a number of things at one given point of time. Love Traits Geminis make excellent partners for somebody who is looking for fun, excitement, and adventure in life. They want someone who will understand their need to socialize, and at the same time, be there for them when they come back home. They like to have intelligent conversations with other people including their partners. A well-experienced, intelligent person, with a strong personality, who can match wits with a Gemini, will be their ideal partner. Their ideal partners in the Zodiac are Aquarius, Libras, and fellow Geminis themselves. Geminis, being indecisive and dual in their nature, are quite capable of cheating, once in a while.
