Traditionally, a Gemini ascendant is described as curious, articulate and adaptable. The ascendant is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, so it depends on the time and place of birth.
With the Moon in Gemini at birth, a person processes emotion through words and ideas. In Indian astrology names and rashifal are usually read from the Moon sign.
