They can fear not being considered intelligent, and they also are a bit jealous of others that freely speak their mind. They need to work on self acceptance. They can feel out of control because they don’t have a proper outlet to express themselves. Lilith in Gemini can lead to babbling instead of taking the time to properly form their thoughts. This can be a problem because they desperately want to speak their mind, but feel blocked from doing so. On the other extreme, they may try to repress their speaking, but that just leads to it being bottled up and they will need to express it sooner or later. They are very observant. They are good at understanding social dynamics and understanding how others react, even if they aren’t necessarily the best communicators themselves.
