The signs of the Zodiac are a common inspiration for amazing tattoos, particularly for people who are tattoo lovers.
Here, we are going to talk about the sign of Gemini.
- History and origins of Gemini and its constellation.
Gemini, which is the third astrological Zodiac sign, originates from the constellation of Gemini. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this sign between about the 21st of May and the 21st of June. The twins Castor and Pollux represent Gemini, and they are known as the Dioscuri.
Gemini is the constellation of the Zodiac. It was also one of the 48 constellations which Ptolemy, who is an astronomer from the 2nd century AD, described. It remains one of the 88 modern constellations nowadays. Its name is Latin for “twins,” and it has its association with the twin’s Pollux and Castor in Greek mythology. The symbol of Gemini is ♊.
The constellation Gemini is between Taurus and Cancer constellations. The Sun resides in the astrological sign Gemini from the 20th of June to the 20th of July each year. By the middle of August, Gemini appears along the eastern horizon in the morning sky before sunrise. The best time that you can observe the Gemini constellation at night can be during January and February. By April and May, the constellation will be visible soon after the sunset in the west.
The easiest way to locate this constellation is to find its two brightest stars Castor and Pollux, eastward from the “V” shaped asterism of Taurus.
In Babylonian astronomy, the stars Pollux and Castor are called the Great Twins. The Twins also became minor gods, called Meshlamtaea and Lugalirra, which means “The one that arose from the underworld” and “The Mighty King.” In Greek mythology, Gemini has its association with the myth of Castro and Pollux, the children of Leda and Argonauts both. Pollux was the son of Zeus, the one that seduced Leda. Castor was the son of Tyndareus, who was the kind of Sparta and the husband of Leda.
