Gemini in Hebrew — Te'omim, the twins of Sivan
Gemini in Hebrew is Te'omim (תְּאוֹמִים) — the twins. In the Jewish calendar it is not a band of sky but a month with a body: Sivan, the month of walking / Motion, carried by the tribe of Zebulun.
The Hebrew zodiac names are older than the Latin ones and blunter: Te'omim simply means "twins." The fifth chapter of Sefer Yetzirah binds this mazal to the month of Sivan, the letter ז (Zayin), and the sense of walking / Motion — a full anatomy, not just a symbol.
Here is what most Gemini pages will not tell you: your Western Gemini window (May 21 – June 20) usually straddles two Hebrew months — the end of Iyar and most of Sivan — and because the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, the boundary lands differently every single year. A Gemini born in the early window may actually carry Iyar's mazal, Taurus. The Jewish sign follows the Hebrew month you were born in, not the sun's degree.
Compute your actual Jewish sign
Dual-natured, communicative, learning-and-supporting. Sivan's season carries Shavuot — Giving of the Torah at Sinai, and its avoda — the month's inner work — is walking the path — halakha (which means "walking") as embodied wisdom.
Strengths of the Sivan-born, in the classical reading: communication, bridging worlds, networking, multi-domain knowledge. The growth edge: depth over breadth, commitment to one path, following through.

What is Gemini in Hebrew?
Gemini in Hebrew is Te'omim (תְּאוֹמִים) — literally "twins." It is the mazal of the Hebrew month of Sivan, linked to the tribe of Zebulun and the letter Zayin.
Which Hebrew month is Gemini?
Gemini is the sign of Sivan. But note: the Western Gemini window (May 21 – June 20) usually straddles two Hebrew months — late Iyar and most of Sivan — and the boundary moves every year, because the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar.
Is my Jewish zodiac sign the same as my Western sign?
Often not. Your Western sign follows the sun's position on your Gregorian date; your Jewish sign follows the Hebrew month you were born in. Because the calendars drift against each other, two people with the same Western sign can carry different mazalot. The only way to know is to convert your actual birth date.
Gemini is one twelfth of the story.
