I back when I was in college, the whats your sunsign would come up a lot. I would say I am a gemini and I would immediately get . "oh, I am sorry, thats too bad." despise was too harsh a term I guess.
so they were just asking me my sign looking for an excuse to dislike me, thinking appearence was too shallow a reason?
scorpios are the most sexual of the signs.....but it can be a bit of a double-edged sword at times.....
"Scorpio governs the pelvis and reproductive and urinary systems and its subjects are said to be prone to ailments of the liver and kidneys, stones and gravel in the bladder or genitals, and other genital ills such as priapism. Abscesses, boils, carbuncles, fistulas, piles, ruptures and ulcers may also affect the Scorpions." on the same site....Scorpio is the symbol of sex and Scorpios are passionate lovers, the most sensually energetic of all the signs. For them, union with the beloved is a sacrament, an "outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.". Their overriding urge in loving is to use their power to penetrate beyond themselves and to lose themselves sexually in their partners in an almost mystical ecstasy, thus discovering the meaning of that union which is greater than individuality, and is a marriage of the spirit as well as of flesh. They are thus capable of the greatest heights of passionate transport, but debauchery and perversion are always dangers, and Scorpios can become sadistic monsters of sensuality and eroticism. Their feelings are so intense that even when their love is of the highest, and most idealistic kind, they are nevertheless frequently protagonists in tragic, even violent romances, "star-crossed lovers". from astrology-online.com
I don't think that geminis are despised. I am actually very attracted to geminis, but I'm extremely scared of them because they tend to have two very different distinctive personalitieswhich can hinder any close relationships that I try to pursue. I was actually very deeply involved with a gemini for two years, and had my heart broken. It's definitely a personal preference. Each person is an individual, and we all live our lives differently.
I'm a gemini and alot of people find that I'm very even tempered and reliable because for the very reason I don't show two distinct personalities, and I can be trusted. At the same time, maybe I learned to overcome something and adapted to it. I have also got looked down upon after revealing my sign. And I feel that people start to "look" for things after you say what sign you are. It would be interesting to tell people you are something else and see if they go with it and try to justify what you are even though you told them a different sign. I'm not saying I don't believe in it, but I feel that sometimes people do look fo the qualities after the fact, and maybe wouldn't be able to figure out what you are if you didn't tell them your sign.
I know why....... b/c after being around someone for only 15 seconds, we can make them nervous. This is simply because our energy and vibe send off powerful messages!!
I think the reason most people have a problem with Geminis because they have the tendacy to change in a minute. Not saying all of them is like that, but it's true when it comes to the experience I have with them. Sometimes it annoys the hell out of me.
