May 24
Like many Geminis, you have a tendency toward going to opposite extremes. Your emotions swing, your focus shifts, and your energy goes spewing in all directions. Thankfully, you have a birth number of 2 offering some semblance of balance. Now instead of being the world's arbitrator, however, you must become your own moderator, and rein in those polar opposites. At some juncture, these two minds must find a way to agree and work together, otherwise life may prove to be a series of possible successes that turn into unfortunate failures.
In your home, the contrast becomes even more obvious. Toys might sit alongside a perfect piece of art, or dirty clothing atop a pristine tablecloth. It's all a bit confusing, but it can also be enthralling. You're an interesting conversationalist, but like to spin a clever web of incomplete information and half truths.
As one might expect, your relationships can be tumultuous. One day you manipulate, the next you romance, and the day after that — who knows? Your best partner might be a Libra who can bring symmetry and some stability into your life.
Gift idea: an old fashioned-brass scale.
