Gemini - Numbers, Gems and Colors

[Michael Bell - Numbers]
Five is the halfway number between one the beginning and nine, the completion
And Gemini has a perfect view in both directions
Five is the number of mediation
And Gemini's cool head and clear sight makes him the perfect mediator
Five indicates agency or conveyor
And Mercury's Twin is the zodiac's number one communicator
Five is the number of movements
And the Geminian is a body and a mind constantly in motion
Five is the indicator of vision, and says what Gemini says
"I think."
Five fingers times two, then double again
Five senses times two, also doubled again
These speak the many possibilities of Gemini

[Nancy Priddy - Gems]
Beryl is Gemini's stone
And is extremely hard until it is touched with light
Then it captures a variety of colors, arranging them in geometric patterns
And impressing a thing of beauty upon the eyes
Communicating what it receives, as Gemini does
A beryl would be a sad stone if it had no colors to reflect
And a Twin would perish if he had nothing to express
However, if you break down beryl to its essentials, it is beryllium and aluminum
Two hard materials with no color or designs to show
And the Twin has this to remind him that illusion is part of a picture
And without it, things can get pretty dull

[John Erwin - Colors]
Color Gemini orange
As orange as orange trees when it's time for picking
Or the scent of blossoms when it's time for wearing
As orange as things most people have never heard of
Basket worms, creepers, bats, and berries
Orange is crowned warblers, and fleabane, and daylilies, and gourds
Grass, and gum, and hawkweed
For Gemini will find them all and bring them home in a basket of words
Still, he has to be sure that he is not so weighed down with facts and words that dreams don't ever get going

[Michael Bell - Closing]
So, Gemini, enjoy your five times two fingers and senses
Assemble all the colors of the sun
Reap your orange harvest of knowing and doing
But remember, it's good to know something, and to do something
It's more important to be something
