Gemini Celebrities: Famous Celebrities Who Share Your Dedicated Zodiac Sign

Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac, and under the tropical system, the Sun moves through this sign from around May 21 to June 20.

 

Represented by the celestial twins—Castor and Pollux from Greek mythology—Gemini symbolizes duality, intellect, and dynamic energy. Those born under this sign are often expressive, clever, and full of surprises. Known for having two distinct sides, a Gemini can be playful and sociable one moment, then deep in thought or restless the next. Their minds are endlessly curious, always eager to explore, learn, and experience everything the world has to offer—often feeling like time is racing against them.

 

Geminis are also natural conversationalists and idea generators. They’re often drawn to writing, journalism, the arts, and any field that allows them to share their voice. If you’re a Gemini, you’re in excellent company with some standout celebrities who share your sign.
