Your sharp wit, information-oriented mind and desire to make your ideas manifest are what make you the intense communicator you are. As a Gemini, you enjoy the ease of allowing your thoughts to flow naturally into words, and you weave them together in the most inventive ways. People are amazed at how you can talk them into doing almost anything you wish, and they often find themselves engaged in activities they never would have imagined, if not for your inspiration!

Your paired element is air and in fact, only the Gemini has a mutable relationship with the element. High winds (including "hot air") can be a part of your personality, but so can the ruthless and determined intention to attack all that is not adequate or sufficient. Your ideas are always the result of the gentle breezes of curiosity that stir within your being. You must be careful that your winds don't die out, which would give you the aloof mood of stagnant air.

You have a double dose of the magic of Mercury, Gemini's ruler, because you were born in the first part of that sign. This means your emotional make-up is dominated by the element air. You think through everything, even your very deepest feelings. Although this can result in rational decisions and a more or less even-paced romantic life, it can also mean that you are not as emotionally responsive as most lovers might wish you to be. You can work on this by going out of your way to get in touch with your feelings, but it might be better if you simply remember to keep telling the people you care about how much they mean to you. If you can build up their faith in you, your relationships will be of a far higher quality. Knowing this about yourself might also help you to choose relationship partners who are similar to you in displaying emotional independence.

Your natural abilities will give you several career opportunities to explore, although narrowing your selections is always a challenge. You might enjoy working in the media, or at least as a spokesperson for your company, profession or a community group that is near and dear to your heart. If you express yourself artistically, the work will be intricate, but possibly not so heart-felt. You can get an idea of what this effect is like by listening to the lyrical, yet reserved singing of Stevie Nicks or the cool-but-distant acting style of John Wayne, who were also born on this day.

The Sabian Symbol for your birthday is bold newspaper headlines. You have a message that you want to get out into the world, and you do it with a power that few others can match. Even the simple statement of "I feel good today" can wind up influencing a wide variety of people, based on your ability to make ideas stand out with the way you craft your words and the strategy you use to get your message across.
