Gemini
Castor and Pollux, the twin brothers of Greek myth. When mortal Castor died, Pollux asked Zeus to share his own immortality with him, so that the two would never be parted. They spend their days together, half in the world below and half among the gods, and sailors once prayed to them for calm seas.

Why does the Sun cross Gemini at other dates (about June 21 – July 20)? The signs were fixed more than two thousand years ago. Since then the Earth's axis has slowly turned, and today the Sun crosses each constellation weeks later than its sign. Find your real sky.
