The Gemini Constellation

There are thirteen constellations of the zodiac.
Gemini is one of them. It’s located between Taurus
to the west and Cancer to the east. It is part of the sky
 in winter. North of Gemini is Auriga and Lynx. South
of Gemini is Monoceros and  Canis Minor.

There are two bright stars that are named after twins.
This is because of the Greek myth of Dioscuri. There
is the binary star Castor, and Pollux. Pollux is  southwest
and really bright. The remaining stars of Gemini are
more dim. The star Alhena can be seen and is part of
a rectangular shape. In 1930, Pluto was found in Gemini
near the Wasat star. M35 is the brightest deep sky object
of Gemini. It is  2,800 light  years away from planet earth.
It is also an open cluster of 5th magnitude. M35 is on the
western edge of Gemini, northwest of the star  Geminorum.
There is an Eskimo Nebula in Gemini and also a red dwarf,
called Castor C.

In Greek mythology, the twins are half-brothers who
have the same mother. Castor’s father was Tyndareus,
and the father of Pollux was Zeus. Pollux had a sister
who was Helen of Troy. Her kidnapping was the reason
for the Trojan War. Castor and Pollux became Argonauts
(adventurers who liked danger). Castor loved fighting and 
horses. The twins liked cattle raids and taking young women
(who didn’t want to be taken). One time when they were
raiding cattle, Idas (who was their cousin) got angry and
killed Castor. Zeus killed  Idas immediately with a bolt of
thunder.  Pollux missed  his  brother really bad. He missed
him so much he wished he  could join his brother in Hades.
Pollux was immortal though because he was the son of
Zeus. Zeus was so sad for his son  and  affected by their
brotherly love for each other. So Zeus let them share Hades
and Olympus on every other  day. Writers of greek myths
put  the two twins side by side in the sky. The Milky
Way is supposed to be like a herd of cattle in the sky.

If you are born between May 21 and June 20, then Gemini
would be your zodiac sign.  Gemini is considered to be
under the classical element of Air, and is what is known as an
Air Sign (with Libra and Aquarius). The polar opposite of
Gemini is Sagittarius.  Mercury rules it, according to cosmology.
The  body parts hands and arms are ruled by Gemini and
 its symbolized by the twins.

Jehovah’s people do not use astrology in their
lives because they know it’s not healthy for your
spirit. If you get involved in astrology, you are
actually inviting false gods and demons into your
life. Jehovah wants his people to be spiritually
clean and  acceptable. It is not acceptable to worship
any other god  besides Jehovah. Using astrology is
a form of false worship. Jehovah’s people fear and
love  Jehovah. This is why we do not use astrology
or believe in greek myths.

Isaiah 47:13-15: “To the Babylonians he said: “Let
your astrologers, your star-gazers who foretell your
future month by month, persist and save you! But look,
they are gone like chaff...So much for your magicians
with whom you have trafficked all your life: they
have stumbled off, each his own way, and there is
no one to save you.”

Once you know the truth about how God feels about
astrology, it would really be wise if you don’t follow
astrology, or let it cause you to make decisions. I have
never used astrology, and I never will bother with it.
I know Jehovah wants me to stay away from it for my
own good, so I will.  I hope you do too.
