Because you’re always thinking about what’s next, you sometimes forget to look back, and consider what you’ve done, the challenges you’ve met, and skills you’ve mastered, many amazingly. And, happily, there are more challenges to keep you busy. But there’s another, even more important challenge, which is being able to enjoy every minute of life itself, from its challenges to its joys.
Strengthen your connection with your inner self so you know what’s best
The theme for your birthday is the balance between organizing things in a way that makes life almost routine and having freedom. This is unusual for a Gemini, because normally you value freedom above all other things.
However, because in the past you’ve found yourself in situations where you neglected one detail or another, you’ve developed a way of dealing with plans, but in a manner that leaves you little option to get creative or, and this is what’s important to you, to make mistakes.
The trick is now to be less exact, and give yourself more space to deal with those tasks, and to enjoy life in a way that you probably haven’t for a while. However, this is also about finding that balance between being organized, which is terrific, and being creative, allowing the moment to take over, especially if it’s something that excites you—when you have encountered something new, or met someone who seems interesting to know.
If your plans are flexible enough to rethink things, initially for the time being, you’ll be free to explore your options, and, if necessary, consider making serious changes. So while achieving this balance takes effort, the reward is the freedom it gives you to explore. This isn’t just about the here and now. It’s also about what you’ll be considering as the future unfolds as well.
You don’t think about it, but when life’s too predictable, you’ll stir things up, reorganizing existing arrangements or making changes. True, they’ll be timely and beneficial, but others may complain. Explain, but briefly. Then, next time around, discuss your ideas as you proceed. This may seem a distraction, but in the long run it will save you time and stress.
You could easily have a fixed relationship with your diet and activities, never eating certain things, and always working out in a particular way at a particular hour. Except there’s another kind of well-being, which involves self-awareness, the variety that’s about truly feeling life’s joys, and that can mean being more easygoing, whatever it is you’re doing.

Previously, you’d have made excuses for those whose actions and attitude have been disappointing. But now you realize that, in making those excuses, you were pretending you could trust them. Not only is that untrue, the more you investigate, the more you’ll discover about their deceitful activities.
