Gemini rising symbolizes that you show many faces to the world, and are multi-faceted in your personal expression and appearance.  You're pervaded by a sense of duality, and can be indecisive, unsure, high strung and nervous.  Mentally active, you identify with your mind and what you know.  Although people can make you nervous, you love an audience, and use you hands as well as your voice when you express yourself.  You like a constantly changing environment with a lot of stimuli, and try to gather as much experience from as many areas as you can.  This could result in a superficial and shallow use of energy, or a sharp awareness of the many facets in your society.  In general, you're adaptable, friendly, quick and witty.  The house your Mercury is in shows experiences necessary in developing self-awareness and your expression as an individual.  Mercury's sign and aspects will indicate your ease or difficulty in doing this.
