As a symbol, the Twins have several different meanings for Gemini. They are most commonly associated with a dual or two sided personality. Often this is related to a Gemini being very flexible and adaptable, thus like two different personalities. The ruling planet of Gemini is Mercury, the planet of communication, and so The Twins also symbolize interaction and exchanging ideas.

It can also represent freedom of speech. A fresh wind could also indicate new beginnings.

As mentioned above, Gemini are great communicators and thus enjoy talking and socializing. An above average number of them work in the media, and they are also said to make persuasive sales people. Gemini are also lively and great at multitasking, but there is a down side to their characters. A Gemini can be a restless spirit that's easily bored.
