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.”
Inspiring words spoken by wise Geminis…
“It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Broad-mindedness is related to tolerance; open-mindedness is the sibling of peace.” – Salman Rushdie
“I think the thing to do is enjoy the ride while you’re on it.” – Johnny Depp
“People protect what they love.” – Jacques Cousteau
“I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful.” – Bob Hope
“Our very lives depend on the ethics of strangers, and most of us are always strangers to other people.” – Bill Moyers
Gemini’s sexist body part may surprise you…
What is a Gemini’s biggest sex organ? The brain! Perhaps you have a weakness for playacting fantasy scenarios or a bit of saucy banter in the bedroom. Try to get your partner to play along. If not, never fear. Communication is your forte, so build anticipation by sending your lover some flirty texts or leaving playful, sultry voicemail messages about what’s in store for him or her on that night’s big date. You’re the master of improv and you love new experiences, so don’t be too specific. Play it by ear!
How to make the most of your dual nature…
Your symbol’s two pillars represent your double-sided nature. There’s twice as much of you to go around, to the delight (or dismay) of others. You’re two times the fun packaged into one, perpetual motion machine. And since variety is the name of your game, you crave two, or more, of everything. Like any dualism, you have positive and negative points. When you’re outwardly charming, inside you could be nervous or already weary of this person, thing, or project. Your challenge is to meld your two halves into a unified whole so you can reach your full potential.
The surprising tool Geminis should be using…
Shape up your shoulders, arms, and hands and burn calories with the simplest of tools—a rope! Whether you climb it, jump it, or make undulating waves with battle ropes, you can torch calories and tone every muscle in your body. Plus, jumping, an activity most people don’t do enough, strengthens bones.
For more of a challenge, find a heavier jump rope (not one with weighted handles, which can stress wrists). Other benefits of rope work, say experts, include better coordination and reaction time, which is good news whether you play softball or catch that Christmas ornament before it crashes to the floor! Hop to it!
What a Gemini needs in their perfect partner…
air sign Gemini wants to keep the talk going. Your ideal partner is a good listener who can contribute to the conversation as well. You want to be constantly engaged—you hate to be bored!
Your partner had better be able to keep up or you’ll be on to the next relationship in the blink of an eye. But if he or she can ride the roller coaster of your constant need for excitement, stimulation, and novelty, you’ve got a keeper! (Don’t forget to show your appreciation as only a Gemini can.)
This is the clue that your relationship is the real deal…
Go on, admit it. You’re a flirt! Your dual nature means that you enjoy the cuddling, but you also like stimulation and the offbeat. How can you know if you’re ready to commit? If the other person is able to keep up with you tit for tat, then you may have a true meeting of the minds.
If you’re dating a Gemini, how can you tell if the feelings are real? That’s no easy task. There won’t be any soul-baring revelations, but if the talk turns from casual to personal, it could be more than a fling.
This area of your Gemini body needs special care…
Your hands, ruled by Gemini, are two of your hardest-working body parts. Whether typing at a keyboard all day, carrying heavy loads, playing instruments or sports, or exploring (ahem) other things, they’re busy all day, year after year. Try this to show your hands some love, soothe sore muscles, and increase circulation.
Learn to relax as you enjoy your active Gemini life…
Gemini is the physical embodiment of mental energy. Your innate, insatiable curiosity spurs you to learn more and more (and more). You’re like a supercomputer processing excess data as you read, talk, play, work, and zip through life. It should come as no surprise that Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings is a Gemini. But all that inquisitiveness comes at a price. You can quickly grow bored with a person, hobby, or job and move on to the next, leaving a trail of broken hearts, projects, or careers in your wake. Slow down and savor the moment!
If you love someone, don’t forget to do this…
Other signs can keep their roses and chocolates. What makes Gemini feel most deeply loved (and in love) is communication. You want to be in contact with your significant other not one, not two, not three, but many times a day. It’s reassuring to know that he or she is thinking about you when you see that text or caller ID. If you’re out of touch for too long, you may as well not even be together! However, take a tip from a sensuous sign like Libra or Taurus and add some nonverbal messages with scent, touch, and taste!
