i have a tendency to be really intense about something for a while but then lose interest and move on. i'm quite habitual about my habits. like one day i'll take a certain route to work then maybe a year later, i'll decide to take another route.

i also can't seem to do only one thing at a time. i must do at least two or i feel like i'm not doing enough and/or wasting my time. sometimes i'll be doing something like this, writing an email or what not, but then i'll stop midway and start reading an article on a news site and then come back and finish the note.

i find myself to be like this towards friends as well which is probably why i don't like to hang out with the same friends very often all of the time. or, i'll drop friends after a while because i find them boring. boring to me is if they're not different enough or have enough to share or teach me about new things...

I don't think it reflects being Gemini

I only have retrograde Saturn in Gemini.

I have Sun,Mercury,Venus in Scorpio with Virgo Ascendant

I have mutable,cadent t-square which could reflect being bored easily along with adaptability,changeability

Moon in Pisces in 6th square the opposition of retrograde Saturn in Gemini in 9th and Jupiter-Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd

it could also be my being a novelty seeker connected to my ADHD and possibility having the DRD4 7R gene that is connected to both.
Thom Hartmann refers to it as the Edison Gene.

My short attention span and my ability to become intensely focused for long periods of time would be seen as ability to throw myself into the chase on a moment's notice by people in a hunting-gathering society.

Uranus is said to be a planet associated with novelty

my Uranus stuff:

Uranus conjunct Mercury/Ascendant midpoint
Uranus oppose Mars/Saturn midpoint

Heliocentric Uranus Nodes square Ascendant/Descendant axis

Geocentric South Uranus Node oppose/conjunct Midheaven/Imum Coeli axis

Uranus trine Midheaven

Uranus trine/sextile Vertex/Antivertex axis

My mother has Sun in Gemini,and she is very similar to me. She told me that being bored is a problem for her.
She has Moon in Scorpio,and it's trine Mercury-Venus-Uranus conjunction. She has multiple Uranus aspects in declinations.

I took one of those vocational personality tests for vocational rehabilitation program. My result was Artistic Personality. One of the descriptions was a dislike for routine.

A lot of these traits are possessed by hunters in hunting-gathering societies, especially in ancient times as well as even today in traditional cultures in Americas,Africa,Asia,Australia,New Zealand,etc.

They are even viewed as as old souls by East Indians.

I was in India in 1993 to help manage a community for orphans and blind children on behalf of a German charity. During the monsoon season, the week of the big Hyderabad earthquake, I took an all-day train ride almost all the way across the subcontinent (from Bombay through Hyderabad to Rajamundri) to visit an obscure town near the Bay of Bengal. In the train compartment with me were several Indian businessmen and a physician, and we had plenty of time to talk as the countryside flew by from sunrise to sunset.

Curious about how they viewed our children diagnosed as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), I asked, "Are you familiar with those types of people who seem to crave stimulation, yet have a hard time staying with any one focus for a period of time? They may hop from career to career and sometimes even from relationship to relationship, never seeming to settle into one job or into a life with one person — but the whole time they remain incredibly creative and inventive."

"Ah, we know this type well," one of the men said, the other three nodding in agreement.

"What do you call this personality type?" I asked.

"Very holy," he said. "These are old souls, near the end of their karmic cycle."

Again, the other three nodded agreement, perhaps a bit more vigorously in response to my startled look.

"Old souls?" I questioned, thinking that a very odd description for those whom American psychiatrists have diagnosed as having a particular disorder.

"Yes," the physician said. "In our religion, we believe that the purpose of reincarnation is to eventually free oneself from worldly entanglement and desire. In each lifetime we experience certain lessons, until finally we are free of this earth and can merge into the oneness of God. When a soul is very close to the end of those thousands of incarnations, he must take a few lifetimes to do many, many things — to clean up the little threads left over from his previous lives."

"This is a man very close to becoming enlightened," a businessman added. "We have great respect for such individuals, although their lives may be difficult."

Another businessman raised a finger and interjected. "But it is through the difficulties of such lives that the soul is purified."

The others nodded agreement.

"In America they consider this behavior indicative of a psychiatric disorder," I said.

All three looked startled, then laughed.

"In America you consider our most holy men, our yogis and swamis, to be crazy people as well," said the physician with a touch of sadness in his voice. "So it is with different cultures. We live in different worlds."

This was from my Vedic Astrology report back in 2004. It seems like what Thom Hartmann was talking about.

Ketu in 12th

In your mind you think of spiritual life as real and true and so you know that material life is not the aim of life. This comes gradually as you get older, as material expectations are one by one ruled out as unfulfilling. Therefore, gradually through life, you spend more of your time and energy towards serving good causes. Also, in an attempt to sort things out in this transition, you become restless, and sometimes try to spend for pleasure, only to feel increased frustration. Overall, you should do well because of your sincere approach to life. Areas to try to prevent disease troubles would include the feet, eyes and private parts.

In Vedic Astrology: Ketu (South Lunar Node) is the significator of detachment,liberation,enlightenment,moksha, but it also deals with loss and suffering. It is considered a malefic overall with the nature of Mars.

the 12th house is the house associated with those things

any ways...those things attributed to Gemini could be Ketu traits...even Rahu (North Lunar Node) traits.

The Vedic Astrologers view Rahu and Ketu like outerplanets. They don't use objects beyond Saturn.

but the traits that are being attributed to Gemini could be the objects orbiting beyond Saturn like Uranus. MyVirgoMask made that point.

" ( I jump from topic to topic confusing people all the time!)"

same here

The psychiatrists told me because of that, I had a slight thought disorder and diagnosed me as having a shizoaffective disorder and bipolar. They even pushed me to take a neuroleptic (an anti-psychotic) which I refused. I was forced to take Risperdal (an atypical anti-psychotic) because of my speech when I was in mental hospital for depression back in 2002.

They just went by what they observed. They didn't know that I was neurodivergent that was in special education system and got speech therapy.

Speech irregularities aren't the sign of just psychiatric disorder, but it can be a sign of neurodivergence which I believe is just a variation of the human condition.

Those are things that I try to raise awareness of to help prevent psychiatric misdiagnosis.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

I don't think any of these have anything to do with Gemini. Astrological placements don't cause anything any way. It's that they reflect how we are. Synchronicity.
