Of course, life would be very dull without challenges to take on, or goals to meet. You’d be a lot more comfortable with those periods when there are twists and turns to deal with. Bear this in mind when those challenges arise, too, and recognize that they’re giving you an opportunity to use an important muscle in your character, and not only will you use it well, you’ll use it wisely.
Solving persistent dilemmas is easy, but finding the path to inner stillness isn’t
Your own ruling planet, Mercury, accents ideas and discussion. However, you sometimes get lost in those ideas. Equally, you can become so interested in discussing possibilities that you lose track of time. What’s more, you enjoy gathering facts and analyzing what you’ve learned. Yet fascinating as these are, that’s not all you need to know, because decisions involve feelings as much as facts.
Your usual approach to such matters is to get more information. That’s often helpful, yet some matters require a different approach—shifting the focus to your own priorities. You may not be as clear about these as you imagined. Often there is no need to dwell on these until pivotal moments arise, as they sometimes do. These accent the importance of being aware of what, and who, you put first.
If you rely on others’ views, those decisions are unlikely to last. So put your own priorities first, rather than going along with others. As a flexible Gemini, finding a balance can be challenging. Once your mind is clear, the resulting choices will be less complicated as well. From that point onward, the trick is to avoid being distracted by intriguing, but unreliable, ideas and, equally, individuals, and stick with what, and who, brings stability and happiness to your life. Do that, and suddenly everything else will make sense.
The trick to dealing with situations involving you and others is to be alert to those where you’re almost seduced by going along with others. You want their support or approval, or, perhaps, you’re anxious about your own decisions. However, the only way you’ll learn if your ideas will work is by giving things a try. And that’s the message from the planets for you. Put yourself and your ideas first.
For you, this should include the unsettling feelings you experience when struggling with indecision. Yet it’s also about learning to rein in your mind rather than allowing worry to take over. The solution? Take a walk, do yoga or some form of meditation. That leads to relaxation, unwinding, and, ultimately, sleep.
Of course, life would be very dull without challenges to take on, or goals to meet. You’d be a lot more comfortable with those periods when there are twists and turns to deal with. Bear this in mind when those challenges arise, too, and recognize that they’re giving you an opportunity to use an important muscle in your character, and not only will you use it well, you’ll use it wisely.
The time has come to take a stand with somebody whose attitude or actions have been a constant source of irritation. You’ve mentioned this, but they’ve ignored you. Bring it up again, but be both frank and precise about what’s bothering you. They’ve no idea what they’re doing is so annoying.
