More precisely, they're all born in the first decan of Gemini — the "The Communicator", sub-ruled by Mercury — which sharpens the Gemini signature into something more specific. Pure Gemini — quick, curious and endlessly verbal. Your mind moves at light speed and you can talk to anyone about anything, collecting ideas like trophies.

That spread is itself very Gemini — the sign's curious energy tends to express across wildly different arenas rather than staying in one lane, which is why Gemini birthdays so often produce both artists and leaders, thinkers and performers.
