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

Mercury is the ruling planet of the Gemini, but because you are born during the third Decan, or part, of the sign, you are also influenced by the planet Uranus. While Mercury influences your mental agility, it is Uranus that influences your need to deviate from the status quo. Uranus influences your originality and your tendency to have unique views from those around you. Your interests are so varied, that at times you may feel you run the risk of becoming eccentric. As long as you keep yourself from spreading too thin, you will stay on your path of healthy mental freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
