“How does your child perceive the mother?”
Your child perceives the mother as very talkative, mentally active, changeable, and elusive.
“What does he need in order to feel secure and safe?” Changeability—this is the key word for your child. Your little bird may be soaring through the air one moment, and the next, come crashing down to earth with a ringing thud. Emotional reactions are quick, varied, and based more on what he thinks than on what he feels. He will readily tell you about all his problems, because he has a greater ability than others to put into words how he reacts to situations or people. In response, it’s best for you to use logic and reasoning to help him work through what is troubling him.
This child finds security in knowledge, in satisfying a very lively and practically insatiable curiosity. He thrives on variety, but becomes nervous, upset, or simply bored when his space for movement is restricted. Take him along wherever you go—somewhere you’re actively doing things—so he can observe your movements: he will be a much calmer child. Introduce him to other people; he needs to be around others. A vibrant, flexible preschool environment where little friends can emerge will benefit both him and you.
Most likely, this child won’t want to sit still for prolonged affection; quick hugs on the go are more his style. The best way to establish tender physical contact with such a child is to lie down beside him, read a good bedtime story, talk about it, point out certain things, and explain them.
This child needs parents who can nurture his curiosity, appreciate his speed, adapt—without frustration—to the fluctuations of his mood, and share his delight in life’s endless variety.

The Moon in Gemini gives emotions an intellectual coloring. It provides the ability to reflect upon one’s feelings and discuss them. Such children enjoy talking about their emotions and experiences, their attitudes toward people, and all the events that have happened to them. And credit must be given—they tell stories skillfully, especially if the stories are short. They simply don’t have the patience for long ones. The same thing becomes boring to them too quickly. They need constant change of events, new impressions; only then will they be happy, and only then will it be easy and pleasant to communicate with them. These children love traveling, and any trip will bring your child immense joy—even if you’re only going to the nearest grocery store. More than anything in the world, children with the Moon in Gemini love adventures, which, by the way, greatly benefit their alert and active minds. Their insatiable curiosity must be satisfied, and their emotional energy must find an outlet—this is vital for them.
Their mood can shift quickly. When it’s good, they sparkle with wit; when it’s bad, they are plagued by doubts and various forms of self-torment. They become nervous and withdrawn, or, on the contrary, start chattering incessantly. However, changing their mood isn’t difficult—any good news will bring them back to life.
Such children need to be taught self-discipline and a more attentive approach to life. They need to be paused occasionally so they can grasp the essence of things, rather than just skimming the surface. Otherwise, their judgments and views will be far from the truth. If they want people to listen to their opinions, they should rely on facts, not emotions. Tell the child that he has his whole life ahead, filled with interesting events and adventures. There’s no need to rush—there’s plenty of time! Help the child pause and carefully observe the world around him.
Children with the Moon in Gemini must be made aware that there are many people around them with their own feelings and experiences. These children can easily hurt others with tactless remarks or thoughtless actions.
Those born under this sign have a constant need to acquire new knowledge and share it with others. They are always on the move—both physically and mentally. Due to exhaustion, they often suffer from neurogenic stomach ailments. And again, the best remedy is an interesting piece of news, a change of pace, and sometimes a bit of quiet, so they can digest, at least partially, the flood of information that has overwhelmed them.
Such children are very changeable. Yet they make wonderful conversationalists. When they are sad or upset, they feel a strong need to talk nonstop. They may not stop on their own. Help the child calm down, and you will truly be able to enjoy his company.

And the fleeting fire of conversation—
Question—answer—and onward again!
Let me go! I’ll be back soon!
Changeability—this is the word for Gemini. Your little bird may be soaring through the air one moment, and the next, come crashing down to earth with a ringing thud. Emotional reactions are quick, varied, and based more on what he thinks than on what he feels. You won’t have to wonder, because this child will tell you about all his problems. He has a greater ability than others to put into words how he reacts to situations or people. In response, it’s best for you to use logic and reasoning to help him work through what is troubling him.
This child finds security in knowledge, in satisfying a very lively and practically insatiable curiosity. He thrives on variety, but becomes nervous, upset, or simply bored when confined in an environment where movement is restricted. He needs to be around people. He will be a much calmer child if you take him along wherever you go, so he can observe your activities. Maintain an ongoing conversation with him!
Introduce him early to other people. A child with the Moon in Gemini will enjoy getting to know your neighbors, friends, and relatives. A wide circle of people from your life will support his sense of belonging to society, and thus his confidence. Form a group with other parents so your child can have little friends. A lively, flexible preschool setting offering a wide range of activities will benefit everyone.
This child probably won’t want to sit still for prolonged affection. Quick hugs on the go are more in his style. Yet every child needs some tender physical contact. The best way for this child is to lie down beside you with a good bedtime story. Don’t just read the book—talk about it. Ask questions, repeat words, insert repeated words into phrases, add new words here and there, and be ready to explain them when he asks. Point out certain things and encourage questions. Soon, he will likely be reading to you, and the close bond formed through these evenings will greatly help lay a solid emotional foundation for your child’s unique character.
Don’t try to restrict the child emotionally or physically more than absolutely necessary. You might as well try to hold back the wind or catch a butterfly with your hands. This child needs parents who can nurture his curiosity, appreciate his speed, adapt—without frustration—to the fluctuations of his mood, and share his joy and wonder at life’s endless variety.
