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

While Mercury is the clear ruler of your sign, because you are born in the third Decan, or part, of the Gemini, you also receive the influence of Uranus. Uranus’s powers focus on deviation from the norm and a mission towards genuine originality. Your pursuits of unique interests is paired nicely with Mercury’s influence of mental agility. These two planets help create your optimistic and original outlook. Your intellectual freedom is certainly one of your strengths, but it can become detrimental if you spread your attention too thin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
