OH Gemini, how lucky for you to gaze upon these words now! Today! That separation of self you've been feeling? That overwhelming sense that you are being pulled by two opposedly- determined fates? NO MORE! Know for certain: A single vision will hit you and your duplicitous soul-forces will be united, your full capacities realized! Pay attention to the signs; smell the air for clues- the flowers of promise abound. Fortune is written within your palm! Wrap your fingers around the gold coin of possibility that lies in every moment. Sip on the strong liquor of eternity.

Firstly, the feelings that you have for that certain someone who lingers in your proximity at work ? The way they stare deeply into your eyes...the way the corner of their mouth curves in a cute, flirtatious smile when you talk..yes, they want you too!! It's time to start pursuing that tug--no more doubt! No more arguing between your inner selves! Let them know how you feel--leave that secret note that you've been thinking of dropping on their desk. Tell them that they spark bright flowers within you, that Spring seems to burst within your heart when they are around; that fire surges within your loins while you dream of them at night. (Well, that may be a bit TOO much right now...maybe just see if they would like to meet somewhere for a cocktail or a walk...perhaps a bottle of wine, a soft blanket and midnight stars sound enticing.... if somehow it leads to long slow kisses and hot tub entanglements, or perhaps naked rolling upon the soft-pillowed floors of a secret hotel on the west side of town, viva la moment !)

Your Gemini soul demands spontaneity! Your star-pursed lips need to be satisfied with the deep-flavored kisses of life. Buy a piece of deep, dark chocolate, and eat it slowly. Let visions course through your blood. Within you are the secrets of the moon! Live the dreams you've held in your heart. This is your time! Close your eyes and feel the shadows of your desires inching toward you.

Yes, Gemini. You've been thinking and dreaming of mysterious lands, your mind filled with visions of an elusive paradise, and for a REASON. It's time to explore and see somewhere new; to let some mountain top soothe your divided-self, or to reconcile the yearning within you with a long swim in an ocean of crystalline blue (maybe naked. or maybe entangled with a lover. maybe half-drunk on champagne, your blood carbonated and alive beneath a night sky).

OR perhaps your double-soul demands to lie quiet within the emerald green of a deep forest and be still. Your world has been so busy for so long! The shadows of the forest will glide silent over your skin like the silhouettes of birds forever seeking. The coolness of the woods will soothe that ache of separation within you. Forget last year. All of those mistakes were of a making in which you ignored the complexities of the lover and fighter within you. You are born new under June's soft moon. Life was never supposed to be easy for you. You held back while the world spun in turmoil. But now, it's time to ignore comfort and seek the lightning rod of experience. Bare your nakedness to the quiet night. The stars are the eyes of angels waiting for your immersion.

Venus is dancing for you, slowly and seductively. The twin moons of your heart are vibrating. Don't ignore them!

You woke the other day with a mysterious scent of salt in the air and the faint sounds of ocean birds singing among waves. As you came to consciousness the senses faded and you thought it was illusion. BUT YOU MUST REALIZE-- the gods are calling to you!!! The restless spirit within your two halves is asking for change. Don't deny this inner voice, for it is a yearning deep within that you must acknowledge. To be Gemini is to feed the rolling stones of your doubled heart. To be alive you must not hesitate to roll two dice against against the wall and accept your fate. Fear not, go forward.

This month, as Jupiter ascends beyond your conjoined soul sign, be aware that any sense of intuition should be followed. Gut feelings should be your drive. Let the stars explode within your heart as you explore some new small town where no one knows you. Stroll into a cafe and order coffee. Sit quiet and take in the scene. When you notice a long stare from an attractive stranger, stare back with twin confidence. Flirt with more than your eyes. Sit still and pay attention to scents of possibility. Hold hands with your inner desire, and in this month of your strongest powers explore your curiosity.

There is a reason that your soul feels like two: your desires and needs are stronger than most--you have no time for superficiality and games. You've had enough of compromise. This world holds too many secrets and plays too many cards. You want connection and meaning, you want a satisfying drink from the ever-flowing stream of possibility. It's time to wade in deeper. It's time to trust yourself entirely.

THIS is ALL especially important, now in the strong month of your sign. Dare to be all you are and riches will unfold before you. Speak your mind freely without worry and follow your heart or genitals, whichever is calling stronger. Your libido is a tiger with a hungry mouth. Your mind is a flower sprung from your soul. Seek nourishment for every part of you. Buy scented candles and sensual oils. Plan to use them with someone special very soon.

It is not financial success you are seeking, Gemini. Money is a plaything that can leave an empty taste of dissatisfaction upon your lips. You need something more substantial for your complicated twin soul. Embrace barefoot meandering and breezes at dusk. Set your feet upon cool sands, while the sun reflects gold curtains across placid waters. The last fading light of another day exploding into the colors you see in your dreams. Hold hands with fate and laugh.

Oh, and by the way, your lucky number is 17.
