Gemini, decan 1
Sub-ruler: Mercury
With Mercury doubled, this is Gemini at full speed: quick wit, quick questions, three tabs open in your head at once. You learn by talking and you talk to think, so conversations with you tend to go somewhere unexpected and interesting. Almost nothing bores you for long, and that curiosity keeps you young. Scattering is the price, starting five things and finishing one, or changing your mind before anyone caught up with the first version. Pick one project a week to actually complete. A partner who enjoys the banter suits you, as long as you remember to listen as well as talk.
Birthday number 7
You want to know why. Surface answers don’t satisfy you, so you read, question, observe and sit with a problem until it makes sense. Solitude recharges you; a quiet evening with a book can feel better than a crowded party. Friends value your honest, considered opinions, even if they have to wait for them. The challenge is a tendency to overthink and keep people at arm’s length while you analyze. Share a half-formed thought now and then; closeness doesn’t require having it all figured out.
Born in May
Gardens are at their fullest in May, and the month’s children often have a grounded warmth to match. Taurus covers roughly the first three weeks, lending loyalty, patience and an appetite for comfort, good food and lasting things. Gemini arrives around the 21st and lightens the mix with wit, curiosity and a gift for conversation. Emerald, the vivid green birthstone, has symbolized rebirth and love for centuries. Lily of the valley is the birth flower and a traditional sign of happiness returning. Many May people are the ones friends call when they need a good meal and a good laugh.
