Posture Perfect, Gemini

Do this to look and feel better right now, Gemini…

How’s your posture? Gemini rules the shoulders, and slouching can lead to chronic aches and pains in your neck and shoulder muscles. Follow these guidelines to find out where, and how, you stand.

  1. Stand with your back to a wall, heels about three inches from it.
  2. Place one hand behind your neck, with the back of the hand against the wall, and the other hand behind your lower back with the palm against the wall.
  3. If you can move your hands forward and back more than an inch, there may be some distortion.
  4. Or, lie flat on the floor without a pillow. If your upper back is rounded, lying on the floor will be uncomfortable.

A Gemini Must-Try

This health trend is a must for active Geminis…

Be kind to your skin and it will be kind to you! Silky smooth natural oils are the latest thing for babying your skin. Experts say they moisturize better because they absorb more quickly than lotions. They also nourish your skin with vitamins and antioxidants!

Gemini rules the shoulders, arms, and hands. If yours have spent a bit too long in the sunshine, they could be dry and dull. To repair damaged skin, use watermelon seed oil. This highly nourishing emollient is rich in essential fatty acids that help restore elasticity. Blackberry seed oil, full of vitamin C and E, is also great for repairing sun-damaged skin!

Play Up Those Gemini Eyes

Let your eyes communicate—no words necessary!

The master of expressiveness, you employ your prodigious gray cells when you communicate, and make ample use of gestures to illustrate your points. Yes, your eyes provide the means to absorb knowledge and enjoy this beautiful world, but they also help you express your thoughts. “Dancing eyes” was probably coined to describe a Gemini!

Called mirrors to the soul, your eyes reveal the interesting and interested polymath that you are. Eat leafy greens, eggs, and other foods rich in vitamin A and lutein, important for eye health! Protect your peepers with ample sleep and (of course) stylish sunglasses.

Dining Out Gemini Style

Eat your evening meal in true Gemini style…

You’ve heard the joke. What does a Gemini make for dinner? Reservations! You’re so busy keeping up with your social and business contacts that you may not have the time (or patience) to prepare an elaborate repast for yourself or others. That’s why there is Chinese takeout, salad bars, and buffets—any place with lots of choices. Or try Mongolian BBQ, where you fill one bowl with your choice of meat, another with your choice of vegetables, and then let the chef combine them to perfection with noodles. You can even claim that you almost made it yourself!

Live the Freelance Life, Gemini

Gemini is the perfect candidate for this job…

Gemini was born to be an entrepreneur. Any job that involves slogging to an office to do the same boring routine day after day isn’t for you! You want variety in every aspect of your life, including work, and the lack of predictability or schedule in the freelance life is right up your alley.

You’re used to walking a tightrope sans safety net. You’re good at creating business ventures, but it might be wise to team up with someone who has a flair for finance, since one of your many strengths isn’t managing money!

3 Keys to Success for Gemini

For career success, Geminis need these 3 things…

Whip-smart with wide-ranging interests, your biggest career challenge may be choosing just one. How can you look dependable and solid if you’re jumping from job to job every few months?

Pick three interests and appease your restless spirit by pursuing all of them—one as a job, one as a hobby, and one as a freelance gig. You’ll be versatile and focused at the same time. With luck, you may even be able to combine two or more of them in one job, like writing and teaching, or public speaking and computer technology. You really can have it all!

Know Your Shortcomings, Gemini

How Geminis can turn their work flaws into strengths!

You have many skills and talents that serve you well in the workplace, but managing money is probably not one of them. Gregarious and generous, you’re likely to spread your wealth without worrying about next month’s rent or electric bill. Did they just release an updated version of your phone? You have to have it! You’re so busy these days that you don’t really pay attention to what your salary is. If you rarely balance your checkbook, a job involving lots of number crunching may not be an ideal match. Know all the requirements before you commit.

Gemini Celebs Give Back

This star designer gives as much as she gets…

From a business launched in a New York City apartment to a booming fashion empire, designer Tory Burch has creativity and brains to spare. And in 2013 she became the second-youngest self-made female billionaire in America (Spanx founder Sara Blakely is youngest).

A model of Gemini generosity, Burch supports the arts and cancer research, and her company helps more than 30 nonprofits. She is dedicated to making sure that all entrepreneurs have a chance. Her Tory Burch Foundation supports women’s economic empowerment through loans, mentoring, and education. And the Obama Administration named her to the Presidential Ambassadors for Global Entrepreneurship, committed to developing the next generation of entrepreneurs around the world.

Gemini, Master of Reinvention

This ever-likeable child star evolved into a megastar!

Neil Patrick Harris made his name as a child star in Doogie Howser, M.D., and for many child actors that would have been the end of it. But this wildly talented Gemini keeps reinventing himself – and wowing audiences and winning awards every time.

Now a seasoned veteran of dozens of movies and TV shows, including CBS’s How I Met Your Mother, this versatile performer is also a singer and dancer starring in Broadway musicals, acting in online series, and voicing roles for video games. And he’s a gifted magician. The many fans of NPH can’t wait to see what he’ll do next!

Geminis Demand Respect

This fiery Gemini demands respect, and for good reason…

Angelina Jolie kicks butt onscreen as Lara Croft, Mrs. Smith, and Evelyn Salt. She’s a director, screenwriter, author, and winner of multiple awards. She’s been voted “most beautiful woman,” and at one point was Hollywood’s highest paid actress. All of which only serve to fuel the causes that are closest to her heart.

While she’s a serious artist and mother of six, she has earned worldwide respect as a humanitarian activist, working with refugees as a Goodwill Ambassador and, more recently, as Special Envoy for the UN. She’s built schools and health centers in Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Afghanistan. Calling her journey “a remarkable education,” this Gemini doesn’t look like she’ll be quitting any time soon!
