Geminis can struggle in the work force if they do this…
Your work life is a never-ending quest for stimulation. Repetition is not your style. If you’re pondering careers, look to a field that plays to your strengths. How about reviewing the latest technologies? It lets you combine some of your strengths (writing and communicating) with one of your passions (the latest technological toys or gadgets) and show off your creativity too boot!
You learn quickly, so a job selling continually updated and interesting products would also put you in contact with lots of different people every day—a bonus.
For work satisfaction, look for jobs in these fields…
“Variety” is your middle name. You want a constant stream of new sights, sounds, ideas, and people—every day, if possible. Few other signs can match your energy and enthusiasm.
Your ideal job could lie in travel and tourism. As a tour guide you’d be constantly exploring places, meeting people, and talking up a storm. As a museum guide you could show off that quick wit, humor, and arsenal of fun facts to a whole new audience every hour.
Solving problems on the fly? You were born for it. Who wouldn’t want to explore new territory with you?
Geminis are true pros in this important work realm…
The gift of gab was bestowed upon you at birth. Keep an audience enthralled? No prob. You have encyclopedic knowledge at the tip of your tongue and a desire to share it without even being asked.
Some jobs were tailor-made for certain signs, and yours could include teacher, TV reporter, lawyer, or actor. You could talk all day long and get paid for it! You know you can tell a good story to engage listeners, and you have an elephant’s memory for all those facts or theatrical lines. Think about it!
Must-haves for Gemini house-hunters…
While your multitude of interests pretty much dictate that you live in or near a city, still you’d like a home where there’s fresh air and a bit of green space for a garden—even if the garden has to be in containers. You like to fix simple meals, and what could be simpler than pasta with a tomato sauce and marjoram (your sign’s herb) that you grew yourself? Your many dinner guests will be so impressed that they won’t mind cleaning the dishes afterward.
How to bring your artistic side out for awesome pay-offs…
Airy Gemini is well suited to work that makes ample use of and stimulates your quick mind. Repetitive data entry? No, thank you. Anything that involves creative writing, searching for facts, sales, problem solving, thinking up new ideas or products, or constant variety will float your boat.
You might even consider assembling a living from an online service like TaskRabbit.com, where every day brings a new adventure, a new client, and a new challenge. You’ll get to use your laptop, cell phone, GPS, apps, and who knows what else, so you’ll be in Gemini heaven!
A Gemini smells best when wearing this scent…
Do you have a signature scent? You could even have a membership to the “scent of the month” club, but there can be variety even when you stick with a single floral note. Lavender is one of Gemini’s flowers, and you can find many versions of perfume and cologne that feature its soothing note—and feed your desire for variety, too.
Try a cream-based perfume made from Himalayan-grown lavender (that should stir your wanderlust) or DKNY for Men, combining lavender, cardamom, and sage. Tuck lavender sachets in your linens and let the aroma soothe your active mind to sleep at night.
Geminis should add this to their wish list…
If you have a birthday or other event that involves gifts coming up, perhaps you could pass some hints to family and pals beforehand. They already know that the latest phone or tablet has your name written all over it, but you probably have several of each by now! A gift certificate to a brick-and-mortar or online bookstore would be apt, as would a deluxe assortment of bath and grooming essentials. How about an outing to a place with lots to do, perhaps a fair of the Renaissance, Maker, or techie variety? Anything that feeds your curiosity will do!
This star designer gives as much as she gets…
From a business launched in a New York City apartment to a booming fashion empire, designer Tory Burch has creativity and brains to spare. And in 2013 she became the second-youngest self-made female billionaire in America (Spanx founder Sara Blakely is youngest).
A model of Gemini generosity, Burch supports the arts and cancer research, and her company helps more than 30 nonprofits. She is dedicated to making sure that all entrepreneurs have a chance. Her Tory Burch Foundation supports women’s economic empowerment through loans, mentoring, and education. And the Obama Administration named her to the Presidential Ambassadors for Global Entrepreneurship, committed to developing the next generation of entrepreneurs around the world.
This ever-likeable child star evolved into a megastar!
Neil Patrick Harris made his name as a child star in Doogie Howser, M.D., and for many child actors that would have been the end of it. But this wildly talented Gemini keeps reinventing himself – and wowing audiences and winning awards every time.
Now a seasoned veteran of dozens of movies and TV shows, including CBS’s How I Met Your Mother, this versatile performer is also a singer and dancer starring in Broadway musicals, acting in online series, and voicing roles for video games. And he’s a gifted magician. The many fans of NPH can’t wait to see what he’ll do next!
This fiery Gemini demands respect, and for good reason…
Angelina Jolie kicks butt onscreen as Lara Croft, Mrs. Smith, and Evelyn Salt. She’s a director, screenwriter, author, and winner of multiple awards. She’s been voted “most beautiful woman,” and at one point was Hollywood’s highest paid actress. All of which only serve to fuel the causes that are closest to her heart.
While she’s a serious artist and mother of six, she has earned worldwide respect as a humanitarian activist, working with refugees as a Goodwill Ambassador and, more recently, as Special Envoy for the UN. She’s built schools and health centers in Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Afghanistan. Calling her journey “a remarkable education,” this Gemini doesn’t look like she’ll be quitting any time soon!
