| The Gemini Personality |
|
Gemini people certainly enjoy life and usually have more
than one career occupation or business going on during their lifetime. They are
very versatile people who like to have several fingers in various pies. They
become very bored if there is no excitement or challenge and this is why in most
cases they flit from one thing to another looking for the ultimate but never
seeming to find it. Gemini people usually have a sharp or twisted mind and they
enjoy a good conversation with others that encourages their mind to be active.
They adore all forms of communication and are happier when using their brain or
verbally chatting the leg off a barstool. Gemini people do not like housework
or regular household chores, preferring someone else to do that type of work.
However, they will participate in household chores under sufferance. They are
very good with their hands and many Geminis make expert pianists, artists,
crafts person, jewellers, designers, osteopaths, sculptors or surgeons.
Versatility is Gemini's middle name and they usually do not need to be told
twice to do anything, as they are quick to learn and enjoy the challenge of
doing things their own way, Gemini people need mental stimulation; reading a
good book or breezing through the newspaper or magazine appeals to them. They
constantly need to be in communication with others, whether it be verbal or by
email. Geminis need plenty of mental stimulation but they do enjoy exercise
routines, sport or just plain walking to stimulate the body and keep up their
muscle tone. When they do get lazy they can turn to fat or end up with cellulite
or vein problems with their legs.

| Gemini in Love |
|
Geminis have an ever-changing
kaleidoscope of mood that can at times create problems with their sexuality,
making them quite unpredictable and inconsistent. Their most-prized possession
is their freedom; they hate possessiveness and can be no-strings-attached,
independent people. In lovemaking they can immerse themselves in the world of
fantasy and fulfilment as they explore a variety of sexual techniques, while
having fun at the same time. Gemini's tend to be interested in total body
sensuality rather than focusing just on genital sex, and this is why they enjoy
a full-body massage, followed by continuous stimulation during intercourse.
Their partner can easily get the impression he or she is making love in a
threesome.
At most times their mind works overtime, racing ahead of
their body, and, being a person of two minds, they seldom accept the reality in
front of them. Their body may be in the bedroom but their mind is always
somewhere else. As long as they are the centre of their partner's attention
they will move mountains for him or her however if they feel slighted or taken
advantage of, they will either blow their stack or walk out. They tend to pick
losers in love; this is why many Gemini's marry more than once. They like to get
two for the price of one in their lover and they need a partner who can sit up
all night having a good conversation or gossip and give plenty of variety with
love as well. Sex for them at times can become mechanised and offer little more
than nervous release. This is why sex and love are synonymous for them; they
just become a means to an end.

| Health and Wellbeing |
|
Gemini governs the lungs, arms, hands, nerves, bones and
arteries. The Gemini constitution appears to be strong but their health quickly
breaks down when nerves are affected by worry, overwork, or constant shock of
domestic issues. Sciatica and neuralgia can be a problem. There is often
catarrhal trouble with the nose and bronchial tubes, while asthma, pneumonia and
diseases of the lungs generally need to be guarded against. Women may have
trouble with their fallopian tubes or an erratic flow of menstrual blood. Weight
can be a problem for many Geminis, mainly because they do not know how to
maintain a balanced daily diet. Many Geminis loathe cooking on a daily basis and
would rather eat out or have others cook for them. Junk food, biscuits, cake,
chocolates and sweets are a Gemini's downfall. Stammering and very quick speech
are also associated with this sign.

| Career and Occupation |
|
Geminis need an occupation that uses their mind or hands, it is essential
for them to be always on the
go at work; the busier they are the happier they will be. Otherwise they will
become bored with their daily routine. Total business is a way of life for them
and they will enjoy any occupation that gives plenty of challenge, variety and change. Meeting deadlines or
finishing a job quickly will be easy for them and they don't mind working under
pressure and in most cases can handle a fair amount of head-on stress. They make
good managers, as taking control and directing other staff members is second
nature to them. They also possess good workplace and organisational skills. With
their communication attributes they may prefer to seek a career direction as a
journalist, writer, sales representative, secretary, receptionist, teacher
travel or hospitality consultant, drivel; taxi operator courier or retail
manager Geminis will be found in almost every type of job, versatility being
their middle name. Most Gemini's will travel a lot in their life and will
encounter a few financial ups and downs due to their attitude toward money.
Geminis never seem to stay in one place or live too long in the same home, due
to career interests. They dislike working in closed places and must always have
independence in their job. Some Gemini people feel best being in touch with
nature, especially with a career on the land. Sometimes their imaginative ideas
will not be realistic or very practical. Their inspiration and sensitivity can
also lead to success in music, singing or poetry. Many Gemini's start a career
or profession and then suddenly find they make a complete change in their
profession or destiny in general. They will always be looking for new horizons
to bring harmony to themselves.
Gemini career choices may be one of the following:
veterinary medicine, botany, ecology, medicine, psychology, social work,
nutrition, biology, the military, nursing, the priesthood, car dealership,
printing and publishing, insurance or stockbroking, broadcasting and television,
truck or cab driving, librarianship, manicuring, market gardening, police work,
teaching, computer operation, weather forecasting, secretarial work, positions
as a nanny or chef, acting, and any other profession where Geminis can express
their sensitive, helpful and communicative spirit.

| The Gemini Woman |
|
The Gemini woman has a fantastic imagination, together with
lively wit and exhilarating charm. She is always young at heart and has a
bouncy, refreshing personality. She is hard to pin down, due to her changeable
moods and of-the-moment feelings. She does not like to be housebound or
restricted to a daily routine. Change and variety are important to this woman;
she can always totally immerse herself in people, projects and experiences at
any time of the day or night. When a Gemini woman gets bored or disinterested in
something, an automatic compulsion button in her metabolism takes charge, and
she will escape confinement and responsibilities in order to do something
completely out of the ordinary, without blinking an eyelid. Gemini women never
feel they are guilty of anything; it is always every other person who is at
fault. Geminis usually dress well and catty themselves with assurance, realising
the importance of good appearance. Gemini women are full of complexity due to
their dual nature. Sometimes they can be their own worst enemy. They are
hyperactive, impulsive and manipulative, and love to bum the candle at both
ends. No dare or challenge will pass them by. Gemini women in conversation have
the ability to jump from one subject to another, due to their quick
intelligence. They make formidable debaters and will seldom lose an argument.
They are always in a hurry to get things done. Even in sexual activities with
their prospective partners they like to get into it and get it over with as
quickly as possible.
Geminis always have other things to do and are never
without something to challenge their daily routine. Because they are forever
searching and squandering their time on superfluous pursuits, they seldom feel
satisfied with their-overall life. Gemini women are highly-strung and nervous,
always anticipating the unexpected. When they are in the mood they love to
entertain and party on to the small hours of the morning. They are talkative,
ever ready to express their views, whether others agree or not. Their
versatility can make them totally unpredictable at times; they delight in
finding different ways of doing things. Gemini women are outgoing, adventurous,
broad-minded and freedom loving. They are game players with people and life.

talents. His versatility will amaze you. You will find him easy to talk to,

independent and freedom loving; they need plenty of space to do then-own thing.
Geminis hate to be bored and will always have many things happening in their

restricted in his actions. Many Geminis want to strike while the iron is hot;

challenge and enjoy starting new projects or jobs. Unfortunately, they have a
tendency to wander off in the middle of something through sheer boredom. Geminis
can be impatient, snappy and flippant, especially if you point out their faults;
they believe they are right, even when wrong.
The Gemini man is an optimist at heart. He will bounce back
from rough patches with a resilient, buoyant spirit and look forward with
confidence to a bright vision of the future. He is a positive man, and his
energy will be a powerful, fortifying and regenerating influence. He is an

comes to sex. They can be experimental and have a great freedom of emotional
expression that can be intense and exciting. Long, drawn-out bedroom games are

to meet new people and have a good time. Geminis can be fun to be around due to
their enthusiasm for life.

| Major Trends |
|
Uranus the planet of sudden and unexpected happenings will
continue its transit through Pisces for the whole year and you can expect a
volley of assorted things to be happening in your sector of business,
profession, career or job. You are probably getting to a stage you are sick and
tied of doing the same old thing and want to make changes, yet you are afraid to
take the plunge due to your worries about your material security and your future
direction. This could be a very exciting year in your destiny if you direct your
energies positively, however you may need to slow down, otherwise if you will
act more impulsively than you have done in the past, you will upset the
applecart and all your good work will go down the drain. Throughout 2008 you
must understand the rules of the game you are playing in and you should
concentrate on how to play more skilfully. As you gain many new
responsibilities, your stress levels will increase and then this could be an
onerous time for you. Watch any form of unethical conduct otherwise you will
suffer the consequences of your own self-undoing. Anything you have done badly
in the past may be a source of problem for you this year and may vitiate
whatever success you are enjoying now. Remember to prepare well in whatever you
wish to do and avoid disappointment.
Saturn, the planet of responsibility, limitation, slow
going and frustration, will transit Virgo all year and this will influence your
sector of home affairs and the domestic front, including a block of land,
building, house renovations, or any real estate you have interests you have at
present or anticipating in the future. If you are anticipating a move, building
or constructing, make sure you have your quotes in writing, contracts in place,
otherwise you may suffer difficulties or legal disputes throughout the year.
During 2008, you should endeavour to clear away anything that you do not need or
has prevented you from getting ahead in some way. With Jupiter the planet of
luck and good fortune shining on you this year you will be able to shake off
some of the stressful situations that may develop, especially in your financial
department. If you wish to settle a debt, retire, pick up your pension, or sell
up and move on, profits can be made. For those wishing to borrow money or extend
your credit facilities, you could not pick a better year as money will be easy
for you to obtain through banks or lending institutions. This will be your
turning point in your 2008 life cycle as you change jobs, or take a new
direction in your present career. You may even decide to start a business for
yourself or travel over seas for a new employment opportunity. One thing is for
sure any changes you make throughout 2008 make sure they are positive ones.
Throughout this year your responsibilities around your home
will also increase considerably and at times you may feel as though you are
taking two feet forward and six backward, with no time to indulge in pleasurable
activities. You will be thinking of what can you accomplish on your own and this
is a year to do something by yourself and for yourself. It is likely that you
will have a project in mind that only you can complete successfully. This is
also the beginning of a self-discovery cycle and you need to explore your
talents and limitations in order to assess the feasibility of the projects you
have in mind for the year ahead. You could call this year a “Spiritual
Conversion” type of year. In reality, the projects you become involved with
this year are only a focal point of attention urging you to investigate your own
abilities for the future. This is an excellent year for self-improvement,
self-motivation, and personal change and others will see you as a disciplined
workhorse who can get things done. Remember to initiate matters on your own as
much as possible this year since no one is going to push you along, and you will
not allow it anyway. With aggressive Mars spinning you some massive amounts of
energy in the months of January, February, June, October and December, you will
be like a cat on a hot tin roof, wanting to break records and achieve in almost
every area of your destiny. Don't wait for others to do things for you, do
things yourself, otherwise you will be waiting a long time. This is not to say
that you will live alone, but this is a time to test your own strength and
self-sufficiency. You want to be the one to make things happen around you.
Growth this year is measured by the satisfaction that comes
from reaching personal goals and making important personal changes. During 2008
your character traits, which either help or hinder your ambitions, will surface.
It is your job to foster the more positive qualities and to overcome any
deficiencies that are apparent. This can be a year for healing and recuperation
from health or a difficult personal or business relationship. It will certainly
be a time of great personal progress and a lot will depend on what you are ready
for. You may relinquish certain family ties, move off to a new environment and
start a new phase in life. Some will have a household member come or go during
the year, perhaps a new roommate moving in, or a grown child moving out to
boarding school, university, the defence forces, or take up a separate residence
away from the family home. The feeling of comfort in your home becomes very
important to you this year and you will make changes in your home or lifestyle
to attain this sense of comfort. Your aim will be to create a place of retreat
reflecting your individual emotional style and needs.
Intellectual development is favoured during this year, not
only through higher education and basic training, but through some form of
self-taught instruction rather than return to school or college. This is a time
to put into action what you already know, make improvements to your surrounding,
especially your life’s direction. Mercury’s transit throughout the year is very
good for reading, writing, studying, advertising, promoting, or any task that
requires single-mindedness to complete things, especially in the months of
January, February, March, May, June, July, September and October. Your mind will
be very active and very quick, perhaps even impulsive during these months and
you may choose to hammer out your ideas during conversations and meetings with
others. Be aware that you will tend to be very opinionated and perhaps even
dogmatic during certain discussions this year, compromise will benefit everyone.
Because you are in the process of developing your ideas, your thoughts will
change rapidly over 2008. You may have to eat some of your dogmatic decrees, so
it would be wise to talk softly. This will certainly be a successful year on a
personal level, you can expect to gain greater emotional and material security,
but much patience will be required. The key note of this year is
"patience".

| Romance and Friendship |
|
Leo rules your sector of communication both mentally and
physically, short journeys, interviews, debates, conferences, close neighbours
and family relationships. During 2008 there will be no planetary aspects causing
you direct concern in these areas and this is why you should plan to do
something special with your partner, because everything else will look after
itself. Pluto the planet of breaking down and rebuilding, will continue to
transit Sagittarius opposite your sign and many of your relationships
connections or associations with people this year will be through travel or new
to your neighbourhood. This will not be a highly charged sexual year, with
Jupiter in Capricorn influencing many of your emotional decisions. You will have
to be careful of defensive attitudes, your emotions may become quite cool at
times and set you up for an emotional accident, or you may find yourself in a
romantic situation with a boss, co-worker, neighbour, or people you meet at work
or on your travels. Mars connects with Pluto in the months of March and July,
then connects with Uranus in April, August, November and December and it is
during these months you may have to apply the breaks, or keep your emotions
under strict control. Nebulous Neptune in Aquarius may cause you to carry out
your emotional escapades more away from your home area or in some one else’s
home, rather than be seen in public with your relationship.
Care should be taken with all types of partnership
agreements during this 2008, with Jupiter in Capricorn until the end of this
year and you may find yourself having a wild affair throughout the year that has
to be kept secret for some reason. Romantic struggles could be emotionally
exhausting for you, so do be careful. For many singles, despite your controlled
and thoughtful nature regarding love and relationships, the decision to marry
may be very much on your mind throughout this year, some may make a decision
that is quick and precipitated. It is possible that many young Gemini’s will
attract to someone older, or will choose as a partner someone who is strong,
sure of him or herself, possessive and very jealous, causing certain limitation
with personal freedom. For most Gemini’s you will experience a year of
passionate and intense union and will to share every moment and every decision
with your partner. Living together will not be totally calm and it is possible
that you will experience periods of tension and fighting. You or your partner’s
jealousy or authoritative attitudes at times may suffocate or limit your
personal freedom, if care is not taken. Some of your most common complaints
about your partner or visa versa will be jealousy, selfishness, whimsical or
inflexible attitudes, and aggressiveness. Nevertheless, you will be happy to
find someone totally devoted to you who will fight to keep you by his or her
side. If you manage to get along and moderate your disagreements, you will have
a successful year in relationships however, those Gemini’s who are not happy in
their marriage will consider separation or a divorce when Jupiter enters
Aquarius early in 2009.
Throughout 2008, do not evaluate the success of any
relationship by the result of just compatible sex, because it does not depend
solely upon that. You must look for the three way triangle this year and that is
emotions, intellect and physical compatibility. Always analyse what you have
done and if you have offered yourself correctly, if you have loved sincerely, if
you have set aside your selfishness. What the other person does is his or her
own responsibility and you cannot manipulate it. In a couple, the
responsibilities are always divided in half and you must take care of your
share. From time to time this year your moods will have the upper hand for a
while and this is a good cycle to talk about your feelings with someone if you
have problems, especially a close friend, minister of religion, doctor, or a
councillor. Do not let pleasantries or small talk keep you from the more
important issues in your relationship. In most cases, a personal relationship
you encounter this year will be a change for the better and that is including
those Gemini’s who are married. Venus in the months of January, February, March,
April, June, July, September, October and November, will stir up your inner most
feelings and you may become very romantic and wanting and you will idealize the
person you love more. With Venus clashing with Neptune at various short
intervals this year, your imagination at times may not be in total accordance
with reality and that could bring deceptions in the future if care is not taken.
Be coherent and realistic and accept other people the way they are. Many of the
friendships you encounter in 2008 will be platonic and you will enjoy going out
and developing a love for new friends, groups and social activities. As a person
you will be outgoing and friendly and will meet lots of new people and share
many new experiences in your love life throughout 2008.

| Professions, Career and Work |
|
Scorpio and Pisces rules your sectors of work, service
rolls, profession, career, status, ambitions, business prestige, achievements,
worldly goals, your public image, reputation and new opportunities. During the
months of March and November, Mercury will assist you with positive
communication regarding meetings, interviews and agreement regarding better
career positions or promotions. During this year your destiny may lead you to
experiment with new and interesting changes in profession or activities related
to people and places. If you are interested in writing, dramatic arts, movies,
theatre, music, television, or print media, you could become an artist, or
journalist/writer specializing in subjects that are close to your heart. You may
prefer to commence a career in advertising, public relations; hospitality,
defence forces, law, or become self-employed. For those unsure of what they
would like to do, or leaving college and considering higher education, perhaps
the study of agriculture, veterinary science, agronomy, botany, research, radio
announcing, counselling, psychology, astrology, metaphysics, would attract you.
It is possible for some to begin a career in real estate, home design or
interior decoration during this year.
The world is your oyster where career is concerned however
you will be very impatient when following orders and submitting to schedules and
routines. Venus the planet of pleasant and harmonious influences will enter your
work sectors in the months of March, April, September and October, so you can
expect some wonderful opportunities to come your way, through promotions, better
career options, pay increases, commissions, or you may be involved in an
exciting series of circumstances that gives you a chance to achieve the things
you have only dreamed about. Your positive input this year will be recognized by
bosses and those of importance and you can be assured of great success in your
career path. At times throughout this year, you may feel as if the burden of
responsibility is too much for you, tossing it all in, rather than persevering
may even be an option for you. Always remember, other will appreciate what you
for them this year and your achievements will definitely be recognized.

| Luck and Money |
|
For the first time in ages, you can now take that
well-earned holiday away to somewhere very relaxing and enjoyable, without
having to worry about the cost. Your destinations however will probably be an
issue, with Neptune in your friendship and leisure sector you may decide to
change your mind often before you finally make your final choice. The planets
certainly influence secluded cruise or resort type holidays and mainly near the
beach in tropical or warm areas, where you can relax and do absolutely nothing
if you feel that way inclined. Take plenty of good reading material your mind
will need to relax through a good book and you will need to have the comforts of
home as well. Good food, plenty of refreshments and people to run after your
whims and wants. You will not be concerned if there is no television or radio
and you certainly won’t be interested in the daily newspapers either. As a
matter of fact you would just love to hide away somewhere out-of-the-way and
throw away the key to all visitors. You are more concerned with doing what you
want to do this year, rather than what others wish you to do and this is why a
holiday away from workmates, family and friends will be just what the doctor
ordered.
Jupiter the planet of good fortune, generosity, abundance,
good fortune and money, will transit your 8th sector of financial dealings until
the end of the year. It is during this cycle your affordability for a great
vacation is absolutely assured. You can expect many happy surprises and new
opportunities to occur that will improve your financial security. Where money is
concerned, this is a year you will attract many benefits through negotiations
with financial institutions, savings, investments, stocks and bonds, a bonus,
legal settlements, inheritances, probate, insurance claims, a golden handshake,
pension or some form of retirement plan. 2008 indicates a good financial year,
or at least improving financial conditions and in most cases, money attracts
mainly to you through your own efforts and is probably related to your
professional and personal endeavours or increased earning power. If you are not
presently working, this can be the year you seek permanent
employment.
For some, lucky Gemini’s you can expect a financial gift,
receive funds through selling of a business, or property, retiring and
collecting pension funds, receiving an advance for a book or invention, or
winning a sabbatical or grant for educational or research purposes. If you are
selling your home for a profit, you might make improvements, which will maximize
the return on your investment. The emphasis is on moneymaking ideas and during
this year it can be fairly easy to make more money and you seem to be a better
saver this year, than you have been in the past.

| Wellbeing and Nutrition |
|
Care should be taken this year, especially during the
winter months, as seasonal ailments will be common for you. With such a busy
workload in your daily routine, nervousness, restlessness and an inconsistent
diet may cause you some concern. Medical and dental care and regular check ups
are advised throughout this year. Your most common maladies may be colds, flu,
asthma, laryngitis and nervous cough. It is possible that you will not stand to
be in bed for too long, you will get up before you are over your cold, causing a
relapse. You must beware of climatic and seasonal changes that may provoke
coughs and allergies. Most of your maladies may originate from nervous
exhaustion and from irregularities in your diet. You will rarely eat at the same
time and will not get the sufficient amount of rest required for your body.
Scorpio rules your sector of health and you may find you will have your share of
inflammatory illnesses of the bowel, bladder, haemorrhoids, as well as small
accidents, so do be careful handling sharp instruments and heavy objects. To
preserve good health, you must consider the following: do not succumb to a
nervous breakdown; breathe plenty of fresh air and participate in as many
outdoor activities as possible. For some, you may be in for a year of rheumatism
or arthritis in the arms, legs or feet.
Difficulties can arise in your nervous system because of
the lack of calcium and manganese. Regular exercise is recommended. Your
short-term health problems may be caused by excessive consumption of sugar and
starches, or by the lack of vitamins E and P, niacin, copper and chromium. Your
most common problems may be, lumbago, suppression of urine, stones, renal
problems and retention of liquids. To prevent these problems it is recommended
that you add to your diet the following foods: mushrooms, watercress, carrots,
alfalfa, soy and its derivatives, peaches, avocados, sunflower seeds, brown
rice, wheat germ, raisins, and peanut butter. You must avoid sweets in general
and drink plenty of pure water, or mineral water. The most important thing to
watch is your weight.
