The mythical Gemini-

Gemini represents the twins (twins) Caster and Pollux (collectively referred to as the Dioscuri brothers) born to Zeus and Leda, the god in Greek mythology. Their lives are full of countless heroic feats.

However, they turned against each other because of the conflict with Aidas and Lynceus when distributing the spoils, and started a duel. As a result, Lynceus was killed by castel, castel was killed by Iddas, and Iddas was killed by Pollux. Pollux begged Zeus to give up his immortality if he could revive casto. Zeus was moved by the friendly spirit of the two brothers, and promoted them to heaven and became a Gemini.

In Greek mythology, the god who rules Gemini is Machuli, who is regarded as the patron saint of businessmen or thieves. Ma Chuli has a unique skill in love, so he can easily win the heart of his lover, and his favorite ways of love are diverse, fancy and rich, and he can't settle down in a person for a long time.
