Double the Fun by Celebrating Gemini Season with Sexy Tom Daley

"Have you ever been so busy that you wished you could clone yourself just to get everything done?"

"That's the Gemini experience in a nutshell. Appropriately symbolized by the celestial twins, this air sign was interested in so many pursuits that it had to double itself." That's how Allure magazine describes the twin-sided – but crucially not two-faced – zodiac sign. With the boundless curiosity typical of his astrological sign, and the excellence of a hard worker determined to make his life as big and bold as his dreams, out athlete and widely adored multi-hyphenate creative Tom Daley also makes Cosmopolitan magazine's description of Geminis as "super-fast, super-smart, super-adaptable and super-curious people" feel incredibly true. The Olympian, knitter, author, husband, dad, and entrepreneur is a queer icon for a reason. He's paved the way for many athletes to be proud of who they are while participating in a competitive world, and queer people from all over are inspired by his joyful openness.

With his signature rainbow towel at the side of the diving pool, and colorful yarn adventures wherever he travels, Tom Daley's Gemini energy shines bright in his fashion photoshoots, creative projects, be they knitting, crochet, TV appearances, fatherhood, or writing books. What we love about Daley is that his passion for thirst trapping his way through those projects shines just as bright. It's such important work. And he has fun with it. Remember that dramatic, deeply gay pause while on all fours in the video he shared while "testing out" the cardboard beds at the Olympic village?

Allure says Geminis are "the social butterflies of the zodiac: These quick-witted twins can talk to anyone about anything. Find them buzzing between happy hours, dinner parties, and dance floors." Tom Daley can also be seen buzzing (and diving into daring, dramatic positions) on set of cover shoots like his unforgettable Arena HOMME+ magazine cover. The retired Olympic diver shows off the strength in his biceps, the power in his thighs, and the definition in his pecs. We love to see it all.

In classic Gemini style, Daley told FASHION Canada magazine that he's not missing the diving pool, and can't imagine getting back into one, because he's simply got too much else going on. Onto the next adventure. "There are many other things that I'm really excited about doing and being a part of," he says. Among them: fatherhood, building up [his knitting brand, Made With Love] and becoming further entwined with the sartorial sphere." As an added bonus for his followers, he looks so good while doing all that. Look at him, dripping wet in that sheer shirt, showing off his abs... glorious! Daley makes serving face in the pouring rain look much easier than it should.

"Playful and intellectually curious," says Allure, "Gemini is constantly juggling a variety of passions, hobbies, careers, and friend groups...always down to try something new. They are most satisfied when they can move fluidly from one idea to the next." Savvy Geminis harness this enthusiasm for exploration and need for new exciting projects by developing their talents in calming, more sustainable ways. Sometimes, that means learning to multitask responsibly; often, it means picking up skills that teach lessons like patience, planning ahead, and perfecting their focus – harnessing their focus and using it for fun. For example, picking up crochet and promising fellow celebrities you'll make them cardigans. Even more fun than Daley's yarn-filled adventures is when he strips off his sweaters to show us all the magic he's been making.

Geminis are known for their natural tendency to lead change and guide those around them towards transformation. As an out queer athlete who competed (and won) at the Olympics, and is really open about sharing his family and life online (and increasingly recently, on screen), Daley is making history every day. We love that in this video he shows that he can even turn an event like going to Davos as a "cultural leader" at the World Economic Forum into an opportunity to share a variety of thirst traps – including his bedroom workouts to start the day.

Geminis are seen as naturally creative because they can adapt to any type of social situation, love when there are sudden changes in the plans so there's room for more surprises, and because they are so talented at bringing humor, storytelling, and inspiration into the conversations they have while everything is going on. One of the best things you can do as a gifted storyteller is share your stories, which Daley has done in his very special Tom Daley way, showing that it has truly come from the heart: Daley is author of "Jack Splash," a "funny and fantastical" children's book about "perseverance, friendship and positivity," which must be a wonderful experience as a dad. He's also written a colorful introduction to crochet, called "Get Hooked."

Rumored to be on the next season of the UK's "The Traitors," which will be a celebrity edition, Daley is sure to get into endless conversation with his fellow contestants – and to make use of his expansive, extensive interests and skills in the challenges. Per Co-Star: "Geminis are versatile, comfortable being both introverts and extroverts. They are quick to adapt to the energy of a room – they can be the life of the party or a complete wallflower. Geminis know how to bring dissimilar people together and make them get along." These are all characteristics that would make Daley an incredible traitor, if the great TV powers that be so decide.

The life of a retired athlete leaning into the possibilities of being a celebrity and influencer is the dream Gemini role in terms of every day looking different from the one before. Variety and spontaneity are big keys in keeping life as exciting as Geminis desire, which means projects that keep things fresh are a hit. You know, unexpected things like having your "bum on a billboard" in a sexy campaign against drunk driving. No one's doing it like Tom Daley.

"Geminis make friends wherever they go," continues Co-Star. "They have the ability to talk to almost anyone about every little thing that's on their minds. They may show up to your party an hour late, but will end up staying for hours...Their way with words can hypnotize you into momentary bliss. Seek them out when you're looking to have the kinds of experiences to write novels about, or if you're just looking to live vicariously through stories of their own novel-worthy experiences." This is excellent advice. We'll add this: Remember that a Gemini like Tom Daley is always gonna slay, no matter who they're with or where they're at. Daley knows his angles, and knows when it's his time to shine. We're just thrilled we get to witness all of it!
