Gemini is the house of Mercury, and by the ancients termed-the exaltation of the Dragon's Head; (this latter the Author rejects as superfluous;) it is a hot, moist, sanguine, masculine, northern, diurnal, western, commanding, bicorporeal sign; influencing the ambient so as to produce a tall and straight stature, of a dark sanguine complexion, dark hazle eyes, quick sighted and piercing, dark brown hair, smart active look, always in motion; and from the number of fixed stars of the first mag. nitude in this sign, it produces persons of greater intellect, and more powerful invention and genius, than any other sign of the zodiac. It governs the arms and shoulders. Its diseases are head aches, brain fevers, corrupt blood, bilious complaints, fits or mental delirium; and if afflicted by evil planets, insanity. It also denotes falls, fractures, and bruises, especially falls from high places. It is barren in nature.

It rules over the south-west part of England, America, Flan-ders, Lombardy, Sardinia, Armenia, Lower Egypt, London, Versailles, Brabant, Wittenburgh, Mentz, Bruges, Louvaine, Cordova, and Nuremberg. Its colours are red, blended with white. In horary questions, it denotes the wainscot, plastering, and walls of a room. Chests, desks, studies, libraries, coffers, barns, granaries, dep6ts, hilly places, mountains; and from late discoveries, it is thought to denote aerial apparatus, as balloons, and aerostatic machines, of every description. It is (anaspected or possessed of evil stars) a fortunate sign by nature.
