Current Zodiac
Gemini (Twins): This zodiac sign has its time of the year between May 22 and June 21.
Gemini is a very old constellation, representing the two twins Castor and Pollux who belonged to the Argonauts. Even though they were both sons of Leda (the daughter ot Aetolian king Thestius), they had different fathers: Castor was the offspring of Spartan king Tyndareus. Pollux on the other hand was the son of Zeus, the king of gods in ancient Greece.
Castor and Pollux have been regarded as the patrons and protectors of sailors, revealing themselves in St. Elmo's fire. St. Elmo's fire is an electric phenomenon that leads to a bright glow in the rigging of sailing ships.
In Gemini, the sun reaches its northern-most position and hence its highest point in the sky in northern countries. Around December 14, the meteor shower of the Geminides can be observed, with around 60 shooting stars that appear to be emerging from Gemini.
