Gemini
20 May-20 June
You're hot, luscious and spicy huevos rancheros this month – and so opinionated, too! People think they've got you figured out and can handle you. Look, it takes a taser to slow you down a notch. You're the designated wild cat of the zodiac. You understand the rules and can therefore behave (if you're in the mood), but also know all the tricks of the trade when it comes to being bad. This dichotomy makes you more fun than a barrel of Capuchin monkeys. You take issue with someone who (how dare they!) thinks he/she is as right about an issue as you are. You've been there, know the terrain and the whole story, so no one can talk you out of your position. You might meet your match, possibly around the 3rd, who also believes that he/she has the final say in something. This is one pointless, potentially endless argument – and you know you've got a million better things to do. For example, the 4th is a spectacularly successful flirting day. You have that post-orgasmic glow that others can only create (and not very believably) with makeup. It's au naturel for you, Gem. When others stare in stunned wonder at your glowing visage, you blush even more, heating up the room. My Goddess, can you even imagine how unspeakably out of control things might get if you and a compatible Taurus connected? Talk about burnin' down da house! Of course, the same holds true for you and a sexy Scorpio, too, contrary to all the old wives' tales about compatibility. On the 8th, you change your mind (again), thanks to a New Moon in Virgo and Venus entering Scorpio. You start thinking about investment pieces instead of just paintings or pillows that match the drapes, etc. You're eclectic by nature and have no intention of living a trend-obsessed life – although, sometimes you've gone down that path. The 9th moves retro Jupiter into Pisces, once again causing you to consider some sort of image or cosmetic renewal procedure, surgery, or treatment. You're willing to change your go-to color palette, especially if you've stuck to it for boring ages and need a change, like yesterday. Also, Mars forms a nice trine to Neptune, creating a sense of magic and romance that ebbs and flows throughout the day. On the 12th, your ruling planet Mercury officially goes direct. But because it remains in its storm period until the 17th, you're advised to hold off on signing long term agreements or even verbally committing to something long term until then. Pluto, bless its icy heart, moves direct on the 14th, and blazing hot Mars moves into sizzling Scorpio. This is a very transformational day for you. You have to make tough decisions that can lead to marvelous answers that change others' lives. Feel that surge of power, Gem? This is the new you emerging. You might also consider some elective treatment, procedure or surgery during this phase. (You're never quite satisfied with your "look," are you?) On the 19th, you're so excited and ready to either pack your bags and go just about anywhere, or wave goodbye to a houseful of guests and family that have decided to give you some space. Either way works. You need space, whether it's by galloping into greener pastures or by spending more time away from others' constant chatter. You really need time to think. The 21st brings out your philosophical, esoteric side. You see a situation from every angle. You could argue for or against almost anything – and do a bang-up job of it.
