in case you were wondering which planet and astrological sign rule your e-mail (so you know who to plead with when it's not working)...

"Have you ever heard people describe Gemini as a lot of talk and air? True that Gemini includes the energy of communication, but it is so much more. It also influences learning, intellect, interactions with siblings and distant relatives, interactions with neighbors, and short distance travel. Prior to the industrial revolution, short distance involved being able to walk some place within a day or two, and if you were lucky enough to have an animal you could ride, you could probably get there faster. It also involved writing letters or reading the newspaper. With the advance of technology, Gemini now encompasses even more, such as the use of the Internet, email, chat rooms, message boards, electronic newspapers, listening to the radio via satellite and watching television on the computer. We are bombarded with information from so many different directions. And, we can travel by plane thousands of miles in a matter of hours instead of days/months. Most modes of transportation, like cars, bikes, scooters and even roller skates are under the Gemini influence. Virtually anything with wheels is a Gemini object. Telephones, teleconferences, and modems are also Gemini territory. As we become more global and multi-media oriented, the lines between Here and There are becoming blurred; harder to define because our neighbors are not simply the people who live within our local community, but also our "media" community. With instant news, we feel alarmed when tragic events happen to our neighbors hundreds of miles away because the media brings those faces and situations into our lives within minutes of tragedy striking. We no longer need to wait for the newspaper to show up on our doorstep. The information that streams into our lives with the help of technology at the blink of an eye is influenced by Mercury. And Gemini feeds on the excitement of it all. The hardest thing for Gemini influenced individuals to do is to find a sense of peace, calm, and relaxation."
