Born at this point in Gemini season
Born in the early stretch of Gemini, this person carries the sign's quick curiosity before it has settled into full stride. Their first instinct is to ask questions and test a few ideas at once. Friends notice how fast they move between topics, and they can feel a pull to keep several options open at the same time. Staying with one thing long enough to finish it can be the lesson this early birth brings.
