Gemini is the sign of the twins and is ruled by Mercury, a communication planet and overseer of the third house in astrology, which rules writing, the community, data, and media. With that in mind, it's no wonder that the best career options and jobs for Gemini are those related to journalism, media, or transportation.

As a fellow Gem, I can wholeheartedly say that our ruling planet has everything to do with how well we can communicate no matter what situation we are placed in. Being in the third house of communication, not only will Gemini express themselves to their close friends and family but the zodiac sign is also inclined to chat with their neighbors — but their intimate conversations are what they cherish more than anything.

Gemini is one of the most multi-layered signs of the zodiac wheel. We are chameleons who know how to camouflage ourselves in a crowd. Some of the greatest Geminis we know are the most eccentric, communicative people, such as Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar and Marilyn Monroe. Geminis stand out in a crowd because of their bubbly personality, constantly entertaining their audience and knowing the right words to say.

With that being said, Gemini knows how to keep a conversation flowing effortlessly, and our eagerness to share and receive knowledge is something I commend us for. My brain works 24/7, 365 days, with constant thoughts and ideas circulating in my mind. What better way to express our endless minds than to go down a career path that offers an unlimited amount of opportunities?

What Geminis are like at work

There is no way a Gemini can settle for a regular 9-5 office job. A traditional job may suit someone else's preference, but not Gemini. As someone who is a Gemini, I confess that I desperately need a fast-paced career with constant stimulation. Most Geminis, like me, need a career that entertains us and also feeds us knowledge on a daily basis.

In the workplace, Geminis are often seen as being charming, witty, and engaging. They are also quick learners and are always up for a challenge. However, Geminis can also be seen as being restless and easily bored. They may have difficulty staying focused on one task for too long, and they may be prone to making impulsive decisions.

Overall, Geminis are valuable employees who can bring a lot of positive energy to the workplace. They are just as likely to be the life of the party as they are to be the ones working on projects late into the night.
