Trying to be a better person

Sometimes I blame my attitude on being a Gemini because of my mood swings...sometimes the smallest things can make me so upset...sometimes I can have a personal issue at home and be negative towards some of my co-workers I still can't separate to leave my personal issues at home and let it affect my work environment.. Sometimes I act like a big brat when I don't get my way..sometimes I can't let things go and let God handle it...sometimes I can be very petty...I'm 30 and still have a lot of maturing to do

Just want to encourage you, its a wonderful thing just that you recognize and openly acknowledge these things, that in itself is a sign of maturity. God bless you, and remember that prayer is powerful to change the things we cannot.

You will have to work to improve yourself. It has nothing to do with your being a Gemini. Astrology is a sin:

[13] You are wearied with your many counsels;
let them stand forth and save you,
those who divide the heavens,
who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons predict
what shall befall you.
[14] Behold, they are like stubble,
the fire consumes them;
they cannot deliver themselves
from the power of the flame.
No coal for warming oneself is this,
no fire to sit before! Isaiah 47:13-14 RSV

You can't make yourself a better person. Confess your sins and get to know God better and let Him transform you and get transformed by the renewal of your mind. Learn who you are in Christ.
I had borderline traits, flipped out a lot. There was hate and anger and unforgiveness. I confessed it as sin, got prayer, got set free, inner healing. He changed me and I confessed who I was in Christ: a new creation, righteous. The old man died with Christ. Baptism in the Spirit is very helpful too and if you were into astrology confess it as sin and ask prayer to get set free from it.

Kindly disagree.

It takes a lot of reflection, some good reading, and some positive influences. It's a complicated endeavor, and I wish you all the best.

I tend to agree with Coby, unless just being a better human is your goal.
I believe the goal of Christians is to be more like Christ. In order to do that, you have to know what Christ was like...through study of scripture. Learning what Christ-like traits look like is the first step on that journey. Use those traits as your checklist on how to behave. If you use the old WWJD mentality, you will gradually become a better Christ-like person, not just a better human.

The other way is much easier. Yes you can change behavior yourself, but only so far and not always. I couldn't. It's like some people simply quit smoking on will power and others say: Lord I give up. I can't. You do it.

Exactly what Coby said...

CS Lewis said it even better..."God became man to turn creatures into sons: not simply to produce better men of the old kind, but to produce a new kind of man"

I'd let go of the Gemini title connected to you. If you have given yourself to Jesus, you are told in the scriptures that you are a new creature in Christ. Born again. Not under the influence of planets, stars, etc., but under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

Life is tough, but stay in prayer, and believe that you have help. It helps to keep thanking the Lord that he is beside you, in you, and that you have the power to make some good choices. And choices begin with what you choose to think.

Thanks everyone I appreciate all the comments...I'm definitely letting go of the Gemini

I'm sorta the same way i fight with it every day being angry and cussing .. i want to be a good person sweet honest and not judgemental

If you look at anger on a scale of 1 thru 10....1 being mildly frustrated, 5 being pretty ticked off and 10 being full blown rage and use that to check in with yourself you can arrest your anger. Generally once a person passes the threshold of a 5, fight or flight mode kicks in, 14 different chemicals flood your brain and it will have to play itself out. Lots of times people walk around at a 3 or 4 and even 5 so the step to fight or flight is a small one.

Given that anger is a surface emotion and is an indication of a crossed boundary or violated core belief and actually serves as a warning to you that that you have an emotional pain underneath the anger. Unprocessed pain leads to anger anxiety and depression. To process the pain underneath the anger by putting a word on it such as disrespected or unloved or not valued and opening up, being vulnerable, direct and staying connected. To live in the anger realm is to live in a pain cycle as acting out of anger always creates more pain, to process the pain underneath the anger with courage and kindness is to live in a peace cycle and will stabilize your mood to a zero on the anger scale and will create more connection to those around you. Validation, love and respect is what we all seek. Processing pain is doing those things for yourself first and the world will follow your lead. We teach others how to treat us.
