The Person |
|
Gemini are lively, restless,
quick-witted, fast thinking, mercurial creatures who
rarely stay in one place- physically or philosophically-
for long. They are marvelous communicators and easily sway
people to their own ideas and opinions. Gemini detest
boredom- indeed, they run from it- and often prefer
spreading their considerable emotional and intellectual
energies among a variety of tasks. This ability to do
several things at one is typical of the Gemini’s dual
nature, aptly represented by the Twins. Poorly channeled,
however, the Gemini’s inability to settle down with one
thing or one person can lead to the appearance of
shallowness and a tendency to gloss over the important
details of life. |

|
Love |
|
You are
more romantic than you let on. Your tendency to flirt is
just a cover for your tender feelings. You do not want
anyone to know how you feel until you are sure it is
reciprocated. No matter how self-reliant you may be, you
secretly yearn for your soul mate. With Venus the love
goddess, ruling your romances through Libra, the universal
partnership sign that is only nature. And because Venus is
also your esoteric ruler, finding the love is not only
emotionally fulfilling it also puts you on the path to
your best self.
Since
yours is a mentally oriented air sign, you need a meeting
of the minds with your lover. But you also need someone
you can trust enough to share your emotions and ideas with
and you need someone you find attractive. For Twins,
friendship is the most comfortable way to relate to
someone and it can be an ideal starting point for romance.
Love affairs that grow gradually rarely disappoint.
As
Mercury travels from Gemini to Libra, you will move from
personal and financial concerns to love and partnership.
And Venus will be in your corner to help things along.
You may
nod approvingly in the direction of faithfulness, but with
the Gemini’s hatred of boredom, the idea of complete
fidelity for a lifetime is basically alien. It is only
fair that you try to make your prospective partner
understand this. |

|
Career |
|
Your
excellent verbal skills and sparkling personality can
enable to you become a great writer, editor, researcher,
news reporter or television or radio personality. The
influence of Pisces, Neptune’s sign suggests other careers
to explore: music, dance, photography, film making and any
industry associated with the sea- from commercial fishing
to swimsuit design to skin-care products from seaweed.
To be a
Twin is to have double the talent of most people – plus a
rare gift for juggling several projects at a time. If the
job you can find a position with a bright future. With you
intelligence, speaking and writing skills and
never-say-die attitude, success is certain. The only
question is when.
Neptune,
your personal career coach, continues its long trek
through Aquarius, bringing chances to travel, learn and
grow as an individual while contributing to your
employer’s success. Since it’s retrograde, consolidate
previous gains, get extra training to enhance your value
in the job market, and refine your strategy for success.
Saturn,
the universal planet of career, spends the quarter in
Gemini; strengthening your ties with current business
partners and helping you find new ones. Since Saturn is
your personal ruler of other people’s money, it could
bring you a business partner, a writing publisher, or a
backer for the film or play you hope to produce.
In fact,
we can’t emphasize this warning enough: Any job that
involves a regular routine, regular hours, and the same
tasks day in and day out, is NOT for any self-respecting
Gemini. Moreover, such a job can only lead to trouble! |
|
|
Money |
|
Money management is not a
priority for Gemini. You have more interesting matters to
occupy that bright mind of yours. Fortunately, you can
count on lots of help from the planets. Financial
opportunities abound for clever Twins. With the
fast-moving Moon in charge of your money matters, you
never have to wait long for chances to boost your income.
And since you are versatile, you can sometimes capitalize
on more than one opportunity at a time. Only Gemini can
close one deal while making a proposal for another at the
same time. |

|
Health, Diet, and
Exercise |
|
You are
usually a pretty wiry and health type. Major difficulties
often only arise when you do not properly channel all that
nervous energy of yours- another reason why a dull,
repetitive job is not for you.
Vigorous
daily exercise is often the best antidote, and you will
probably enjoy running, cycling, squash, and tennis.
Remember, though, to set aside some time for simple
relaxation, too. You definitely won’t enjoy repetitive
exercise routines. Spending hour after hour on Nautilus
machines or in aerobics class will bore the pants off you.
If you can find a large gym that offers a variety of
exercise options- preferably one with squash courts, a
pool, and an indoor running track, you will be fine.
Otherwise devise your own exercise regimen. Whatever you
choose to do, cultivate the discipline to work your body
on a daily basis- even though this won’t be easy for you!
The key
Gemini body areas are the shoulders, arms, and hands- all
of which can be vulnerable to accidents. Take care of you
hands in particular, wearing safety gloves when
appropriate and protection them in cold weather. Gemini
rules the lungs, too, and you may experience problems with
bronchitis. Gemini should regard smoking as akin to
jumping out of a plane without a parachute. And if either
of your parents suffered from a lung ailment, get your
doctor to check out your chest regularly.
You must
find outlets for that high metabolism of yours’ otherwise
you run the risk of burning out and becoming sluggish and
dull, dozy and depressed. |
|
|
Leisure and Retirement |
|
“Retirement? And what might that be?” you may well ask.
Gemini never retires. You may be forced, at an advanced
age, to stop working at the job to which you’ve devoted
your first 50 years. But you sill simply turns your mind
to new areas. And because you always carefully plan how to
spend your free time, you may view retirement as a matter
for rejoicing. Now you can give more time to that favorite
hobby of yours, which may well be more fascinating than
work.
Any club
or committee that involves chatting and argument is a good
choice for you. A debating society or a political club
will exercise your mind as well as keep your tongue well
oiled. You may well love learning new languages and taking
classes. Gemini often have an interest in fashion, too,
and you may enjoy designing and making your own clothes.
Driving can be a hobby as well as a necessity, and
improving driving skills by taking advance courses or
going full throttle on a police driving course can be
enormously rewarding.
You
should make sure that your spare-time activities are as
different as possible from your daily work. This is the
best way for you to keep the dreaded dragon boredom in his
lair. |
