SPOTLIGHT ON GEMINI

GEMINI CREATES FUN-LOVING ENERGY-MOST VERSATILE SIGN Ahh, it's Gemini time, when summer is just around the corner. From May 20 - June 20 romance will heat up, friends will gather for barbeques, and the urge to travel may send us traipsing across the globe, meeting new people and enjoying new experiences. Not surprising, since Gemini rules travel and communications. To take full advantage of this fun-loving energy, let's take a closer look at the sign of the twins. GEMINI PERSONALITY:Charming, brainy and fickle, Gemini is the most versatile sign of the zodiac. This adaptable air sign is ruled by Mercury, the planet of brainpower, communications and travel. Gemini is the seeker and keeper of information. They're restless and get bored easily, so they need plenty of activities that keep their minds stimulated. They can drive people around them nuts by jumping from one pursuit to the next, often without warning. That's because they lead with their intellect and go where their interests take them. Which can be all over the place. As such, Gemini is curious about new locations and loves to travel. They're also super sociable and enjoy meeting new people. They usually have an assortment of friends who they find fascinating in some way. And being glib, they can strike up a conversation with just about anyone. For Gemini, it's all about variety. GEMINI IN LOVE:Geminihas flirting down to a science. Their witty repartee draws plenty of admirers. In fact, getting a Gemini to commit takes ingenuity. They can get your pulse racing from heartfelt (or naughty!) love letters, but it's best to remember that their way with words may be a form of recreation - don't take it seriously unless you hold your Gemini's heart in your hand. However, getting beyond their brain to their deeper feelings is sometimes a challenge. If you're after the heart of a Gemini, you'll first need to engage them mentally. Gather information to share, whether it's a scientific breakthrough, political blog or celebrity gossip, anything they're interested in - or not interested in, yet. A mental connection is a must, which can carry over into the bedroom as well (think erotic stories and talking dirty). Suggesting some new positions - in new locations - will keep your Gemini enthralled as well. But beware of the dark twin. Well, it's not evil, really, it's just that when a Gemini suddenly reveals the opposite side of their personality, it can stun people who don't know them well. So if you appreciate consistency in a lover, remember that Gemini is exceedingly changeable. Still, they're sooo charming that it's usually easy to forgive their schizoidish personality. GEMINI AT WORK: Beinglogical, smart, creative and expressive, plenty of careers are open to Gemini. A few options include engineering, computer programming, website building, law, journalism, publishing, television, communications, office work and the travel industry. Mainly, they need work that uses their mental acuity. Plus, they are the masters of multitasking, so the more projects they have going, the better. One thing is certain, if you have a Gemini in your life, you'll seldom be bored. If you're stuck, depend on your Gemini to supply you with inventive suggestions on how to get your life back on track. They have all the info you need at their fingertips. If all else fails, they'll charm and amuse you out of your slump. Now that's an invaluable gift! WISHING A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL GEMINIANS:} .

THE BULL IN RELATIONSHIP!!!!

SO YOU WANNA DATE A TAURUS? Slow and steady Taurus may indeed be practical, but don't mistake their step-by-step approach for being boring - between the sheets or otherwise! These down- to-earth get-it-done types are at once sentimental and sensual, a sign for whom love and sex are inextricably tied. Adventurous lovers when with the right partner, the bull is also stubborn and inclined toward possessiveness, but we all have our downsides. So the question is, are they right for you? Here's your guide to dating this alluring Earth Sign. Hint: self-centered dreamers and unpredictable adventurers need not apply! THE TRUTH ABOUT TAURUS HOMEBODIES BY NATURE:Taurus values a steady, serious relationship as much, if not more than any other sign. Passionate and loyal, they crave security and stability, but rare is the Bull who is prepared to lavishly romance a potential partner in order to get there. They are not the sort to sweep someone off their feet. Instead, as with all things, Taurus takes a practical, logical approach to dating. They're slow to express their emotions and guarded when it comes to exposing their softer sides. That doesn't mean they won't adore you however, rather, it's that they find pleasure and satisfaction in more earthly realms, specifically in sharing good food and great conversation. With Taurus, the devil is in the details, so a tender touch, help around the house, a little something that made them think of you are all signs that the bull is intrigued. Creating a safe spaceIf you're experiencing a connection with Taurus and want to take things further, patience is the name of the game. Those who are used to diving in headfirst will be frustrated with the snail's pace Taureans take establishing a relationship. However, it's important to remember that even a well-intentioned bull is also stubborn and set in their ways. Translation? Push a Taurus for more than they're willing to give before they're willing to give it and they'll either charge at you angrily or go running in the other direction. At the end of the day, what they're seeking is affirmation that you think they're special… and while for some signs that may be a matter of quality of time spent together, for Taurus, it usually means quantity. THE UNDERBELLY OF THE BEAST:Finally, as sweet, sentimental and serious about love as Taurus wants to be, in the wrong relationship the bull is known to give lovers a branding that really scars. They have no patience for dreamers who take a lofty approach or firey types who want action all the time (which is why they rarely get on with Aries, Aquarius or Pisces) and they are determined to get what they want - even if it's at the expense of your desires. Likewise, while they're willing to plumb the depths in the bedroom, they're not so into soaring to exciting heights. In fact, big thrill seekers who want to keep things dynamic will scare them, threatening their all encompassing need to feel safe. So if everlasting adventure is part of your perfect pairing, these lovers of routine will leave you feeling at least partially dissatisfied.:}

RELIGIOUS DREAMS:A SPRITUAL PROGRESS REPORT

Religious dreams can mean different things to different people. Dreaming of a cross if you're Christian or the Torah if you're Jewish may seem like an obvious message about your spiritual life. And it's true - these kinds of symbols can reveal the state of your spirituality, whatever that means for you. Still, some of the messages from religious dreams may surprise you. Think about the word "religion." What's the first thing that comes to mind? Religion is a concept that can have positive or negative connotations depending on your experience. If your beliefs are a valuable source of support for you, and you're in touch with your spiritual life, then dreams that contain religious symbols will usually be a source of encouragement and strength. If, on the other hand, your parents told you the Devil eats misbehaving girls and boys, then religious dreams will reveal emotional issues, like a fear of being powerless or of taking a wrong step. These dreams may have a dark setting or contain some tweaked religious elements. Whether you dream of an angel, a synagogue, the Qur'an, a cross, or Moses and his Ark, take note of how the symbols are portrayed in the dream, as well as your feelings when you awaken. Positive elements usually indicate you're in good shape spiritually, while negative ones reveal you need to work on inner blocks that keep you from growing. That's the gift of religious dreams - they offer a spiritual progress report that can guide you toward the spiritual path that's right for you.

MEN CAN LEARN FROM WOMEN

WHAT MEN CAN LEARN FROM WOMEN: As modern women enter more and more male-dominated arenas, women are often told to be more like men. But when it comes to having happy, healthy relationships, men can learn a lot from the fairer sex. Here are our top three things men can learn from women. Pay attentionWomen are looked at as the more sensitive, thoughtful gender. "Women's intuition" is considered an almost paranormal ability to see things men don't. Yet without even tapping into their psychic gifts, women have an edge on men when it comes to insight: because they pay attention. Men need to learn from women that paying attention isn't a passive process. It's about being engaged enough to understand what's being said, remember it and act on it in the future. If you're confused or disinterested in what your partner is saying, don't tune out. Make a conscious effort to engage yourself in what she's saying by asking questions or contributing to the conversation. Slow downBecause women are so interested in the details of interpersonal relationships, they often recognize that the complexities of life require a great deal of patience. Men are notorious for trying to "fix" problems. Women, on the other hand, often deliberately take time to vent about a problem and analyze it from many angles before taking action. Men are often applauded for their ambition and drive to get things done. But they can learn a lesson from women about how to balance the need for speed with the desire to do things right. Women tend to show more patience with people and situations, and in the end, that can mean they find better, more long-lasting solutions. By becoming more aware of how you react to problems, you will allow yourself more opportunities for thoughtful analysis and planning. Cry! Laugh! Pout! Smile!Men are often teased for not being in touch with their "softer side." The truth is, even men who are very connected with their emotions are often uncomfortable expressing them outwardly. Unfortunately, men know that society frowns upon them showing the same emotions as women -- men who are "too" sad, happy or angry are often considered effeminate. But by not allowing themselves to express emotion, men are just missing out! If men can learn to express their feelings like women, they will be freer to enjoy the rich emotional texture of life.:}

BEAUTY AND ASTROLOGY

WHAT YOUR SIGNS SAYS ABOUT YOUR LOOKS: Pisces "The Fish" (February 19 - March 20)Pisces tend to run on the smaller side, either having shorter frames or smaller limbs. There is something eager about their look, even though they often have sleepy or deep-set eyes. The Pisces male tends to have broad shoulders and heavier jowls, and often a weathered appearance to his face. Female Pisces usually have a youthful appearance, with large eyes and a charming smile with rounded cheeks or a fuller face. Aries "The Ram" (March 21 - April 19)Aries people tend to be tall, lean, and athletic. Their bone structure tends to be long and slim, especially prominent in the hands, legs, and neck. They usually have intense eyes that can capture your attention, not because they look through you, but because (like the ram) there seems to be some element of challenge in their gaze. While you can't expect to see a pair of horns protruding out of an Aries head, one of the greatest Arian tells is a mark on their face or head. Moles, freckles, and scars are more likely to be worn as a badge than removed or hidden. Taurus "The Bull" (April 20 - May 20)Taurus people somehow just seem solid. They also have a natural beauty about them. They typically have a compact and sturdy frame, square shoulders, and a strong or thick neck. Their legs are well shaped and muscular, and their feet may be a bit wider or longer than their build requires. The Taurus face has rounded lines rather than sharp angles, and beautiful skin or a clear complexion - plus captivatingly large eyes. A male Taurus has the capacity to grow a thick and full beard, or sport a natural five o'clock shadow. A female Taurus is likely to take pains or pride in her hair. Both sexes can be diet and exercise conscious, as they are susceptible to weight gain, especially in their middle years. Gemini "The Twins" (May 21 - June 20)The Gemini look is easily noticed by their youthful appearance, as they tend to look younger than their years. Gemini tend to be tall, but if born closer to Taurus or Cancer, they may lean toward plump rather than thin. They usually have long legs and arms, and their hands tend to appear full or fleshy. Gemini men lean toward a rougher complexion with high cheekbones and a wide forehead, and they may face a receding hairline later in life. Gemini women are prone to expressive eyes, and a wider or fuller mouth with well-shaped lips. Cancer "The Crab" (June 21 - July 22)Cancer people tend to have very expressive faces with high cheekbones, rounded and intriguing eyes - plus a prominent brow. Tall or short, people born under this sign lean toward a broader chest, thin hips, and small feet. The male Cancer usually has broad shoulders, a strong jaw line, and prominent teeth. The female Cancer seems to have creamy skin and is either naturally cursed or blessed in the bustline. Both sexes usually pay attention to diet, for it is easier for them to put on a few extra pounds than it is to take it off. Leo "The Lion" (July 23 - August 22)Leo's trademark seems to be an incredible thick and luxurious mane of hair. Their faces are sometimes cat-like, with an oval structure, large eyes and a wider nose. Male or female, they seem to have well-proportioned bodies with an athletic build. They are elegant, have great posture and seem to walk with an air of nobility. Virgo "The Virgin" (August 23 - September 22)Virgos tend to have a quiet beauty, their physical structure is as neat and kept as the image they project. They have a classic look about them, with high foreheads, straight noses, deep eyes, and a defined jaw line. Virgo men are usually tall and straight, have a large forehead with a high hairline, and may have one foot that turns in more than the other. Virgo women tend to have long legs, a more pointed chin, soft eyes and mouth - plus impeccably groomed hair. Libra "The Scales" (September 23 - October 22)Libras tend to have very balanced features and pleasant, smiling faces that are likely to have dimples in the cheeks or chin. People born under this sign are more likely to have naturally straight teeth, although there may be a gap or space between the front two. Libra men tend to have handsome faces with good bone structure, and graceful, athletic bodies. Libra women are often slim yet curvy, with large eyes and delicate noses with slightly flared nostrils. Scorpio "The Scorpion" (October 23 - November 21)Scorpios tend to be sensual in appearance. They have hypnotic and penetrating eyes, a broad face that sits upon a sturdy neck, and strong bodies that can be slender or full - yet somehow almost always fluid and graceful. Scorpio men tend to have strong facial features that include thick eyebrows. Their arms and legs may be hairy, and they also are prone to a graceful, almost bowlegged gait. Scorpio women tend to be well-built, compact and slender. They tend to hold their heads down a bit and look up at you with their eyes, inspiring a cool sense of mystery. Sagittarius "The Archer" (November 22 - December 21)Sagittarius tend to be taller than average, strong, active and quick-moving, even if not always the most graceful. They have well shaped heads with intelligent and sparkling eyes, and are known to talk with their hands or somehow be animated in the course of conversation. Sagittarius men are rather like stallions, often having an unruly mane of hair that likes to fall onto his forehead when young. However, they are prone to baldness in their later years. The Sagittarius woman usually has an oval face with a high forehead and more pointed chin. Tall and slender, she does have to be careful with diet, or there is a tendency to get thick around the middle. Capricorn "The Goat" (December 22 - January 19)Capricorns often have a serious look about them, and tend to look old when they are young and young when they are old. Their foreheads may seem more narrow between the temples, and they are prone to frown lines. This is another sign that has to guard against gaining unwanted weight with the course of time. A male Capricorn often has a more stocky build, with sharp, penetrating eyes. A female Capricorn usually has a small, well-shaped body, with tiny ankles and small feet. Both sexes typically boast near-perfect white teeth. Aquarius "The Water Bearer" (January 20 - February 18)Aquarius often boast a noble and defined profile, with a distant and dreamy look. They usually have long bones, and tend to tip their heads when they are thinking. Aquarius men are usually tall, with a strong build and a broad forehead and hips. Female Aquarius have a larger bone structure, with broad shoulders and a prominent neck. Oddly, both male and female Aquarius are more likely to "go gray" at an earlier age.
