Gemini
the third of the zodiacal constellations. The name is given from two conspicuous stars, Alpha and Beta Geminorum, the former named, after the example of the Greeks, Castor; the latter, Pollux. If an imaginary line be drawn through the belt of Orion and two bright stars in the line of the belt, it will nearly pass through Gemini. If again Regulus and Aldebaran be above the horizon, and the space between them be equally divided, the point of bisection will be in Gemini. Castor is a remarkable binary star of the first magnitude, first magnitude , Pollux is of the second. The sun enters GENERAL the third sign of the zodiac which is different from the actual constellation about May 21, and passes from it to Cancer about June 21.
