BORN today, you have one of the best days of the incoming sign, Gemini, to call your own. Ruled by Mercury, the god of knowledge, there is a quality in your nature which can be- speak genius if you only learn how to develop the great gifts which have been given you. The arts, science and invention are probably the fields in which you are most interested, although almost any career can be tailored to fit your inclinations. You must be warned, however, against spreading your talents too thin.
At sa early age, learn to concentrate on a single objective and when that is reached, you may select another. Keep all your... other' interests as hobbies and avocations or you will find that you are trying to juggle too many things at the same time.
Since you have a genial and happy nature, it is likely that you will make a host of friends during your lifetime. You will be popular with both sexes and although there is a certain rigidity of point of view-you are admired for your strength of character.
It is likely that you can become a great power for good. You will find June and January to be the months in which your ideas meet with the quickest and highest approval with others.
