Castor and Pollux
Duality
Brotherhood
Protection…
And so it was that the twins
In their mother’s womb
One of a mortal father, the other of a divine
Came to have a special connection
Years later
When Castor, the mortal son was killed in battle
His brother Pollux asked his father Zeus to let them stay together
And Zeus, moved by his son’s request
Gave them an eternal bond
Placed them together in the northern sky
In the constellation known as
Gemini

Thanks Damian.
Though I'm not too much into astrology, Gemini is my sign, so I guess I do tend to have those personalities.
