They can act very childish at times, even throwing temper tantrums to get their way. Life struggles may prove too much for them, and they may become withdrawn, excessively worried or hardened. On the other hand, their versatility may help them to adapt so they ultimately gain control of the situation and are able to turn it around to suit themselves.

Many born with a Gemini Sun Sign are considered intuitive and may be downright brilliant. They love mental challenges, even though their concentration is short-lived. They love to soak up knowledge, but don't like the task of learning. They often fit the description of "jack of all trades, master of none." They like to analyze, but since they can see both sides of an issue, they have great difficulty making decisions. Some Gemini can use their natural intelligence to control this dual nature so it becomes very efficient and useful.
