HOROSCOPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being in the first part, or Decan, of the Gemini sign, you are doubly influenced by the power of Mercury. Mercury harnesses the power of rational communication and thereby supports your thinking and adaptability. Although you prefer to keep a social distance at times, your Mercury inspired sense of humor has earned you many friends and admirers. One of your greatest challenges will always be your perfectionist nature. Although there is nothing wrong with wanting the very best out of yourself, it may lead to disappointment if you create unobtainable standards. Take time to develop a more realistic mindset and expectations, as this will greatly assist you through life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
