Images & Words Week 179 - Astrology - Your Sign & It's Various Attributes

Thanks Anders For hosting Images and Words this week and you have chosen a very interesting Theme.

Believer or not there is a place in the Constellation where Gemini definitely exists.

This image and information is courtesy of the Constellations Site.

An ancient constellation of the zodiac and one of the only that resembles its namesake. The twins of Gemini, Castor and Pollux, were sons of Zeus and the mortal woman Leda. They were brothers of Helen of Troy. The twins were said to spend all their time together, and were part of the crew of the Argo with Jason when he attempted to retrieve the Golden Fleece. The twins were considered protectors of sailors. The constellation is composed of bright stars and easy to find. It is located northeast of Orion.

    I don't think I know any twins (in zodiac life) so you must be my first. Nice work on your entry.

    Such a wonderful entry, a lot of work went into this one, I think...

    ancient Greek Mythology : "The twins of Gemini, Castor and Pollux, were sons of Zeus and the mortal woman Leda. They were brothers of Helen of Troy."

    Love it !!

      Thank You Marianne. I had fun and had to go through my old jewellery boxes to find the little Gemini pendant which is very old as you may have noticed.
      It is amazing what you find, and can't find, when you go through old jewellery boxes and I must confess to having collecting quite a few over the years.

    If you are going through troubled times in your life, consider wearing zodiac rings. These rings can not only bring good luck in your life, they can completely change your fortune.
