Deliciousness in a glass…
Sweet, juicy peaches are associated with Taurus. Besides all the usual scrumptious standbys of cobbler, pie, and slices over ice cream, you can use these blushing beauties to make a new twist on an old standard: lemonade.
Puree two cups of peeled peach chunks and two cups lemonade. Chill the mixture until cold, about two hours. Divide ¾ cup pomegranate juice evenly among eight tall glasses. Fill each glass with several ice cubes. Add the peach mixture and chilled club soda. Garnish each glass with fresh peach slices. Yum!
No one camps more in style…
You’re earthy and grounded. You love the outdoors, but you also love your creature comforts! If sleeping in a tent on the ground, lugging a heavy backpack, and wearing the same clothes for a week doesn’t sound so fun, you might like glamorous camping, or glamping. It combines the best of camping with even more comforts than home! From treehouses to yurts, trailers to geodesic domes, these cushy campsites feature everything from king-sized beds to heated floors and indoor plumbing to gourmet food. Whether you prefer desert, mountain, forest, or seaside, there’s a glampsite to feed your wanderlust!
Get artsy Taurus!
You’re so creative! Music, dance, sculpture—there’s probably one art form with your name on it. One of the newest trends has a painterly, art-school vibe. You’ll find it in sculptural shoes, bold graphic prints, and dresses printed with larger-than-life portraits. Makeup lets you brush up on your talent with bold colors in everything from creamy crayons and body paints to lip palettes and skin balms in oil-paint-like squeeze tubes. And with such an ephemeral art you can change up the “show” every day! You may not be ready for “facial graffiti,” but you can have fun without going Baroque!
Spice it up a little bit, Taurus!
Sweet peaches are associated with Taurus, and you know how you love dessert! But these fabulous fruits are divine in more than just cobbler. Spice them up with chipotle chili powder, coconut water, lime, honey, and yogurt for a chilled summer soup. Or heat whole-wheat tortillas topped with sliced peaches, Brie cheese, arugula, and scallions in a skillet. Top with yogurt, honey, and chipotles in adobo sauce for a novel take on an old standby. For a simple dessert, grill peach halves brushed with olive oil, sprinkle with cinnamon and chipotle powder, and serve with vanilla ice cream. Yum!
Taurus is the best at indulgence…
There is no need to feel guilty about a little self-indulgence! If you neglect your well-being, your health, productivity, and even relationships can suffer as a result. And no one likes a cranky Bull! You already know that it’s important to eat right, drink plenty of water, and sleep well, but “me time”, meditation, relaxation techniques, and yes, massages, can help you to be a happier and better partner, parent, and friend. Learn to be your own BFF and you can rest assured that someone will always have your back!
Gemini’s spirits are eternally youthful!
In 1513, Ponce de Leon searched fruitlessly for the Fountain of Youth in Florida. Had he but known a Gemini, he would have had proof that such an elixir existed. Eternally youthful in spirit, you’re like a kid in a candy store in a stimulating environment. There isn’t a person, topic, or gadget that doesn’t interest you. Ever the optimist, to you every opportunity opens a door into a bright, new world full of infinite possibilities. Even though Twins are your symbol, you can’t be in two places at once! Take a break so you don’t burn out.
The world needs you to keep moving forward…
If someone could capture Gemini’s vitality, the world’s energy problem would be solved! Sometimes it seems as though you’re several places at once, all the while curious, charming, and witty. It’s hard for others to keep up.
But that same restlessness can also make you a bundle of nerves. All that talking and doing can frazzle you. Suddenly, you’re overtired and overcommitted. Don’t forget to enjoy some alone time now and then. You may not have the patience to learn to calm that monkey mind through meditation, but you can find a beautiful spot for a solitary walk!
Geminis are a must-have at every fun social gathering!
You are probably the zodiac’s best party host. No one can match your ability to chat, joke, gossip, and entertain. You’ve never met a stranger you didn’t like. And there will be no wallflowers at your soirée if you have anything to say about it! You can match opposites who attract and like with like until the whole place is hopping. And since it’s your bash you don’t have to stay in one spot for long—nor should you. Mixing and mingling is de rigueur for the host. Why not send out some e-vites today? You alone can make zoom happy hour almost as good as in-person!
The sport Geminis don’t know they’re destined for…
Everyone knows that your enthusiasm and curiosity encompass all subjects. What some may not know about you is how well-coordinated you are. Are you a good dancer? Do you routinely trounce opponents in sports? Your dexterity extends from your brain to your body. If you’re looking for a new activity to try, perhaps tennis, Ping-Pong, softball, racquetball, or squash would appeal. To feed your creative side, you might try ballroom dance lessons. Think of the people you’ll meet and the fun you’ll have! You’re prone to sprains and bruises, so take care.
Can’t sit still? You must be a Gemini!
You are a mutable sign, as evidenced by your eternally changing interests, jobs, and perhaps relationships. Mercury is your ruler, so “mercurial” describes your nature, and your moods can fall prey to this quality as well. Outgoing and vibrant one minute, you can be lost in your own thoughts the next.
Take care that you don’t come across as sullen or surly with others if indeed you are just pondering the latest tidbit added to your encyclopedic knowledge. Enlist one Twin to keep watch over the other Twin and develop a bit of Leo’s self-awareness.
