THE SIGN OF GEMINI AND ITS DECANATES
|
Not all natives of the same sun sign can be
characterized as a unit by the general characteristics of that sign. There are
some divisions and subdivisions, each with its characteristics who give much more
particular personality traits to the native of a sign. The most important
division is the decanate. Among the 30 degrees of each sun sign, each decanate of the
three has 10 degrees. |

when they are allowed to think thoroughly about something. Then, they become
very rational. Usually, they do not accept half-measure situations; they keep
distant from anything that is unreal.

confidence in the power of their mind may become a trap.
