Gemini, the Twins

Hebrew name: Thaumin, “the united.”

Coptic name: Pi-Mahi, “the united” or “the completely joined.”

Description: Gemini pictures two young men walking or coming. One holds a great club in his right hand. The other holds a harp in one hand, and a bow and arrow in the other. The Latins called them Castor and Pollux. The Greeks called them Apollo and Hercules. The Egyptians pictured them as a man and a woman.

Biblical Meaning: Gemini’s biblical meaning is best pictured by the Egyptian concept of a man and a woman. This is consistent with the other constellations that picture Christ and the Bride. Others picture the Bride as a captive ready to be delivered by the Redeemer. This time, however, the two are pictured in the unity of marriage in a time of peace and harmony.

Stars in Gemini:

1. Pollux, “ruler, judge.”
2. Al Henah, “hurt, wounded, afflicted.”
3. Wasat, “set, seated, put in place.”
