The Zodiac Signs: What Are Their Origin Stories? (4 of 7)

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

Castor and Pollux, twin brothers born to Leda, were granted immortality, becoming the constellation Gemini. They represent duality, communication, and brotherhood, embodying the complex relationship between mortal and divine in astrology.

Fun Fact: It’s been said that Geminis invented the concept of multitasking so that they could perform a job twice as badly.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

Castor, a strong horseman, and Pollux, a champion boxer, were twins born under the Gemini constellation. One was mortal, one immortal. Zeus, in a fit of brotherly love (or maybe to mess with time), decided they should spend eternity together, creating the constellation of the celestial twins.

Fun Fact: The only time you ever actually hear from your Cancerian friends is when they post a generic, highly impersonal birthday greeting on your Facebook wall.
