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.
How to break free from you your Gemini addiction to this…
Gemini is so geeky! You love social media, you binge-watch TV, read books on your tablet, and tap, swipe, tweet, text, and pin all day long (and sometimes into the night). In the morning, do you check a device before you even acknowledge the presence of another human? Do you find it impossible to ignore the gadgets even on vacation in a beautiful place (with someone you really love)? Do you check your phone when others are talking to you?
Congratulations! You’ve trained people to think you’re available 24/7, and unless you’re a first responder, you probably aren’t. Establish boundaries and tell people when you’ll be offline. Then stick to it!
Could your busy-ness could do more harm than good?
As a Mercury-ruled air sign, you’re always busy. Your brain and body are going nonstop 24/7! It seems like there is always something new to do, someone interesting to meet, and someplace spectacular to see. Is all that motion just commotion or does it have a purpose? You’ll never know unless you slow down.
Take a lesson from the water signs. Turn off the gadgets and allow yourself to drift with the current like a flower petal in a lazy stream. See where your thoughts take you. The world won’t end if you disappear for a while. Your friends will still be there when you get back! Stop chasing whatever it is and let it come to you.
Who captivates others like no other sign? Cancer, of course!
Just like the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in the ocean, Cancer has hidden depths. You’re intuitive, yes, but you’re also intelligent and imaginative (move over, Aquarius) as well as ambitious.
Some of you may even be overachievers. Of course, that could be because you’re worried about what others think of you and you fear rejection, but nobody can match your determination once you set your sights on a goal. Don’t let anyone stand in your way. And go ahead and toot your own horn once in a while!
If you don’t have one, start a collection of these…
You love to collect and hate to throw anything away. That’s what gives your home it’s, shall we say, “lived-in” look. Keep the accumulating from turning into hoarding by imposing some order and artistry.
No matter what you have—vintage toys, matchbooks, buttons, stamps, model airplanes, album covers, glass, photos—you can show them off and enliven a room. Group treasures into wall art in shadowboxes or arrange on shelves or tabletops.
Edit your tableaus by theme, color, shape, or size. And you don’t have to showcase each one. Periodically change the display to match your changing moods.
No kin love their own as much as the Cancer in their clan!
To say Cancer is “family oriented” is like saying water is wet. You are the nurturer who gives hugs “just because”. Your home can accommodate crowds of family, and friends who seem like family. You probably live within walking distance of parents or siblings. They’re your strength, your touchstone, your anchor.
Yes, you probably talk to them every day, but why not do something extra special for them? Use your culinary talent to create a comforting dinner for the clan. How about crusty French bread and a big pot of cioppino—served family style, of course!
Are you wasting your charitable personality?
Cancer is one of the most giving and helpful signs (when you aren’t feeling moody, that is). You’ll unselfishly share your meal with the hungry, give the coat off your back to the cold and weary, and offer the last few dollars in your pocket to the needy.
You understand that life is hard—you worry about it enough—and your sentimental nature urges you to offer aid when you can. You must overcome that innate shyness, but you can be a force to be reckoned with as a volunteer. Find a cause you believe in and give it the same dedication you show family and friends.
Should you buy it or not, Cancer?
If your treasured collections are in danger of engulfing your house, exercise a little impulse control before you think about adding that next tchotchke to the shelf! First do a little research on that coveted item that’s beckoning to you on eBay. Check the online reviews (perhaps ignoring the overly zealous ones, positive or negative). Then ask some friends whose opinions you value for their thoughts on your intended purchase. When you head back to your computer armed with these new insights, you may discover that the desperately desired item isn’t as amazing as you thought. Now you can put that money back in savings—where it belongs!
