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.
Give ‘em the (hot) shoulder, Gemini…
Keep your arms and shoulders in shape by doing lateral raises with hand weights or machines. Or use an exercise band at home. Stand on the center of the band, feet hip-distance apart. Hold a handle in each hand. Raise arms, palms down, to shoulder height, and lower. Do three sets of twelve reps.
And now that you’ve worked so hard to tone those sexy shoulders and arms, show them off! Use self-tanner or a shimmery lotion to accentuate the contours with a bronze glow, then dress them up in flirty, off-the-shoulder or cut-out tops and dresses. Add a sculptural cuff and you’re good to go!
Geminis can struggle in the work force if they do this…
Your work life is a never-ending quest for stimulation. Repetition is not your style. If you’re pondering careers, look to a field that plays to your strengths. How about reviewing the latest technologies? It lets you combine some of your strengths (writing and communicating) with one of your passions (the latest technological toys or gadgets) and show off your creativity too boot!
You learn quickly, so a job selling continually updated and interesting products would also put you in contact with lots of different people every day—a bonus.
Rest of his celebrity laurels? Not this Gemini!
Most people know Peter Dinklage from his star turn as the sardonic Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones, one of the few original characters who hasn’t been killed off! But he made his mark in Steven Buscemi’s Living in Oblivion in 1995, and The Station Agent, which won the Audience Award at Sundance in 2003. His success came after years of struggle and searching for roles that weren’t elves or leprechauns.
This Gemini gives credit for the success he’s enjoying now to good friends—but not luck. “Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in,” he said. “I’m fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.”
Will this matter in a day, month, or year?
You worry, you can’t help it. But it doesn’t accomplish much besides tying you up in knots of anxiety. Most of what you worry about works itself out in the end. In the meantime, you’ve wasted emotional energy that would have been better spent on something else! Here’s some advice to help you put worries into perspective.
This gift will always win Cancer’s loved ones over…
Do you need to find a gift for someone important in your life (or a special treat for yourself)? You can’t go wrong with gleaming, sophisticated silver. A charm bracelet is beautiful, personal, and nostalgic.
From Tiffany’s to flea markets to department stores, you can find classic or playful charms to illustrate the recipient’s life and interests. And you know how much Cancer loves to collect things! Your gift will become a cherished heirloom that can be added to and passed through generations. For men, a pair of vintage or modern silver cufflinks would be classy and stylish.
Cancers get major benefits from this health trend…
You already know that yoga improves balance and tones muscles, but the benefits don’t stop there! It can increase energy, ease stress, regulate the immune system, help you lose weight, and help you find balance even off the mat.
It may sound like hype from a late-night TV commercial, but research shows that doing even gentle yoga regularly helps people lose pounds and keep them off. It’s less about sweating off calories than it is about changing behavior and the way the brain reacts to stress. Even if you don’t need to lose weight, it never hurts to become more mindful!
This Cancer may be the best of her generation…
Meryl Streep isn’t known for one role, or even a select few. This American actress is often referred to as the best of her generation given her extensive success across a variety of film genres. She’s known for her versatility, earning her 3 Academy Awards with a record 21 nominations, among dozens of other accolades.
This Cancer has used her platform as a Hollywood star to bring about change, too. She has collaborated on the Time’s Up initiative, campaigned the Equal Rights Amendment to all members of Congress, and founded Writers Lab for women over forty seeking to develop their screenwriting. Catch her in three new films this year, or in her recent performances—Little Women or Big Little Lies!
How to breathe more creativity into your life
You live life in a blaze of glory—the more stimulating, fast-paced, and dramatic your day, the better. And you’re creative, but do you really give all that inventiveness the attention it deserves? Sure, you can rattle off a dozen ideas before anyone else has even turned on their tablet, but do you flesh any of those brainchildren out or bring them to fruition? That takes a bit more time, something you may not think you have, but hold on. Stop and take a few deep breaths. Anyone who practices yoga can tell you the immensely therapeutic benefits of inhaling and exhaling fully. It’s better than a shot of espresso for clearing the mind! Give it a try.
Hey Leo, this is the color you must wear more of!
Nobody rocks hot colors like sun-kissed Leo! You’re like a sizzling summer afternoon all year long. You are one of the lucky few who can wear yellow, orange, and red like you mean it. Try a bold blazer or skirt in a shocking yellow instead of basic black.
If you’re not quite ready to commit to an entire ensemble in a fiery hue, punch up your wardrobe with hot accents—a tangerine bag with edgy gold studs, eyeglasses with fire-engine-red frames, or a sunny-toned scarf or tie to warm up subtler business attire.
