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

You are born in the third Decan, or part, of the Gemini sign, which means you inherit the planetary influences of both Mercury and Uranus. The power of Mercury lies in mental agility, which is complemented well with Uranus’s influence on deviation and originality. Your active and unique mind allow you to think in extraordinary ways. This relationship is also key to the positive and optimistic way that you deal with the world. This positive nature may lead you to try to pursue too many interests at one time. Remember that too much mental freedom can actually become counterproductive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
