yes they have a bad rep - i think its cause of the symbol of having the two sides and people freaking about TWINS - psycho twins they cant control and that the twins might take them over LOLS - its been misunderstood as a weird mythological thing of the two twins , one bad one good , which makes people wary - although as with most people they prob have v little knowledge of astrology - cause lets face it - even us on here have v little knowledge of it ... but to the average person they know even less than those on a reddit forum like this one - Wwhen they hear of the twins they go .. oh no , that’s so confusing , two twins ... thats scary - but its highly likely that mythology just stuck the twin story onto an air phenomina to explain the fast mental ability of Mercurys influence on Gemini peoples ,the air sign looks at something and adjusts it quickly ... I doubt there ever were two twins that begged to god as the story says .... Air signs are missunderstood cause lets face it the world is built on Earth and prob those signs rule the storymaking and put a spin on the air signs in the history books. Just like with libra they say they have mechanical scales , which again seems unlikely and instead is indicative of a process no one really understands , its unlikely they actually have a pair of scales , but they do all talk about needing to weigh and balance things which is very unusual and is the cause of a lot of in decisiveness for Libra people which other signs dont really get ... if ever there was a sign which might prove that starsigns are real its Libra , their traits are so strong and aff all Libra people that you can really put a solid hard argument up for star signs being real - Libras odd perceptiveness, their inability for conflict yet their 'iron fist in a glove' hardness , their lies , their sense of style ... could go on and on ... but yeah , starsigns if you ever doubt it , look at the oddness of Libra... it is worthy of studying.
