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

Mercury is the dominant planetary influence in your sign, but because you are born in the second Decan, or part, of the Gemini you are also influenced by Venus. Mercury provides the influence of the mind, knowledge and intellect. Venus complements these qualities well with a focus on sociability, cooperation and harmony. The influence of these two planets have combined to innate charm. Your ability to influence others is particularly strong, but you must be careful to not abuse your social powers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
