Those born under the influence of Gemini were believed to be endowed with strong intellectual powers, high aspirations, to be shrewd, ingenious and vivacious, but restless and fond of change.

Queen Elizabeth possessed a large engraved Agate, which was supposed to be endowed with magical powers

Tarot Influence
The Sun Reversed
The outcome of future plans is nebulous. Trouble with relationships and work is very possible.
Astrological Influence
Aquarius Reversed
This card signifies the closing of both heart and mind, which leads to stagnation.
Element Influence
Water Reversed
Water reversed denotes secrets to which you are not privy. Approach all ventures with caution.
This reading represent elements that favor you.

This card represents the dreamer in you, the idealist, the mystic. The Fool desires to do great things, but is often unaware of just how difficult great things are to do. He must always be very careful of the choices he makes, and remember knowledge is his ally. The Fool often symbolizes a new beginning, unrestrained optimism, and curiosity that hasn’t been dulled by time. While The Fool may well indicate a lack of experience or grasp of the pitfalls along the path he is taking, it is equally true that his lack of experience leads him to believe all things are possible, which brings even impossible goals within his grasp.

The Devil is the more perplexing cards one can draw in a reading. He represents all that most find undesirable, distasteful. He embodies the seven deadly sins (Lust, Gluttony, Avarice, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride). The Devil is evil personified. However, it is unlikely his presence in your cards means you are most suited to be a child of Satan. Think of the saying “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” The more plausible explanation is that you are actually quite moral, and feel a deep duty to oppose the dark forces The Devil embodies. This in no way implies you should establish your own inquisition, but simply that you are acutely aware of the destructive influences in our world and have the strength to resist them.
Dating your own zodiac sign can be tricky, as the other person will mirror both your best and worst traits back to you.
For example, Cancers are as cozy together as two bugs in a rug, but can also drive each other crazy with their moodiness. Aquarians may be the best of friends, but could remain so detached that true passion never quite catches fire. And Leos? Heaven forbid you should both want to be the center of attention at the same time! Look up your zodiac sign below to see how dating your own sign might work for you..
This can be a tough match. You’re both hot-headed, want your way, and tend to blame the other person when things go wrong. On the other hand, you spark each other’s passionate nature, and will have lots of active fun together. Fighting fairly is the key to your success … as there will be fights! “Never go to bed angry” should be your mantra.
The Bull is stubborn, with a one-track mind. If you’re on the same track, great! If not, you’ll both need to expand your comfort zones — not an easy task for either one of you. You’re both passionate about your own ideas and opinions, so if one of you is conservative and the other liberal, you’re in for trouble. Sports and sensual enjoyment can keep you together.
Twins never bore each other. In fact, there may be too much unpredictability in this match. One of you will have to become the “stable one” and cultivate a home life, or you may not stay together long enough or go deep enough emotionally to put down roots. At least you can talk through whatever comes up, and enjoy a diverse social life.
This is one of the best same-sign matches. You’re both nurturing and love to snuggle up at home. So what if you don’t go out much? The biggest drawback, once you learn to tolerate each other’s moods (and not take them personally!), is that your tendency to mother each other can smother the sexual spark. You make great parents, though.
This is a volatile match! You both need a lot of attention, and tend to pout if you don’t get it — so you’ll need to trade off making the other person feel special. Passions run high, which is great for sex, but take care you don’t say or do something in the heat of a fight that fatally damages the relationship. Mutual respect is the key to this union.
If you’re both dedicated to the higher goals of health and service, this could be a match made in heaven. Just don’t try to improve the other person or criticize their behavior — which kills the passion. Overanalyzing the relationship can also make it wither on the vine. Plant a garden or do yoga together and you’ll bring out the best in each other.
This can be a lovely union — you’re both attuned to pleasing the other person and cultivating balance and fairness. The danger, though, is that you’ll stay too superficial — projecting a beautiful image of love while resentments seethe below the surface. You’ll have to be willing to rock the boat a bit so this match can come into its full potential.
Passion, danger, intrigue … two Scorpios have it all! Maybe too much so. Trust is the crucial ingredient that makes this match work. If one or both partners are suspicious or jealous, you’re in for a rocky ride. It’s essential to share your deepest feelings in this union, but don’t bonk the other person over the head with them, or you’ll spur resentment.
Here’s a fun match! You’ll be kayaking and motorcycling together to your hearts’ content. Your strong opinions can lead to spirited discussions, but you’re both okay with that. Real trouble looms when one of you wants a commitment and the other prefers to stay footloose. A higher spiritual purpose can keep you together.
You might not think this would be a great romantic match, since both of you are hard-headed realists. Yet that very practical nature lets you appreciate who the other person really is, devoid of illusions. You can be yourself in this relationship. Just don’t let your worldly ambitions or need for status take precedence over a nurturing home life.
Aquarians are very open-minded, and can tolerate (or even enjoy!) each other’s eccentricities. And, you make the best of friends. However, the emotional realm is not your forte — so you both may shy away from declaring your feelings and taking things into deeper waters. To cultivate passion, you’ll have to venture out of your comfort zone.
You’re both dreamers — which works both for you and against you. Two Fish can float around endlessly in a lovely fantasy, never casting anchor into a secure reality. You tend to wear rose-colored glasses, and that means your sweetheart can do no wrong — which is great, unless that person has serious problems. Get a third party to handle your finances.

Does it feel like your love compass is broken? You might be single and struggling to find someone you deeply connect with. Maybe you keep ending up in relationships that fizzle out just as soon as they began. If past partnerships have left you feeling more defeated than desired, it’s time to turn to the Tarot.
Tarot cards have been used for centuries to help guide people through complex situations in their lives — and is there anything more complicated than matters of the heart? No matter what issues you’re facing, the Tarot will give you the clarity needed to put your love life back on track.
It’s important to know what questions to ask in order to get the most out of your reading. Tarot is all about helping you manifest what you want so asking things like “What will my partner’s name be?” or “Will I meet my soul mate tomorrow?” won’t work. Instead, try asking questions that help you connect with your inner self. Here are some examples of questions that work well in a Tarot reading for love:
So, what is it that you’d like to ask the Tarot? Focus on your question, choose your cards, and reveal insight into your love future now. If you still have questions about what the Tarot can do for you, keep reading…
It shows you what you really want. Sometimes it isn’t finding what you want, but knowing what you want that’s your biggest challenge. What kind of relationship are you looking for? Who is your ideal partner? You already know the answers in your heart, but you may need a little help so you can finally see them. The Tarot allows you to tap into your intuition and discover what you’ve already known all along.
It reveals what is preventing you from finding love. True love starts from within. Everyone has insecurities, and we’ve all been burned by former lovers. These things can create emotional obstacles that hinder you in your quest to find — and keep — love. Maybe you’ve been choosing the same type of partner over and over again, or it could be that you’re unknowingly sabotaging potential relationships. The Tarot will shine a spotlight on what you need to do to create positive and lasting love in your life.
It shows you what you’re working with. In order to attract your soul mate, you must first recognize all of the unique qualities that you offer to others. The Tarot pinpoints exactly what it is about you that you bring to your relationships. Maybe you’re an incredibly dedicated and loyal partner, or perhaps you’re a pillar of strength when it’s needed most. Like attracts like, and by knowing exactly who you are you will more easily find someone you are truly compatible with.
It allows you to see the truth about your situation. They say that people who are with the wrong person are farther away from finding true love than those who are single. This is why it’s important to choose wisely in dating and relationships. Maybe you’re on the fence about someone you’ve just met, or you’re not sure if you should continue pursuing a relationship with someone you’ve been out with a few times. The Tarot gives you the insight needed to decide if you should hit the brakes, or continue moving forward in a specific situation.
We all want love, but finding it isn’t always that simple. Stop and think about what it is that you need to know right now. Are you looking for guidance on how to attract the right mate? Do you need advice on how to overcome pain from the past so you can find love again? No matter what questions you may have, the Tarot can provide you with the answers you’re looking for.

The World card points to the presiding wisdom which upholds life on this and all worlds. In most Tarot decks, it is a female figure that has become our standard World image. She originates in Hebrew, Gnostic, and Alchemical lore, and stands between heaven and Earth as the cosmic mother of souls, the wife of God, and our protector from the karmic forces we have set loose upon the Earth in our immaturity and ignorance.
The goddess of The World card invites us into cosmic citizenship — once we come to realize our soul’s potential for it. It announces the awakening of the soul’s immortal being, accomplished without the necessity of dying.
This card, like the Sun, is reputed to have no negative meaning no matter where or how it appears. If the Hermetic axiom is “Know Thyself”, this image represents what becomes known when the true nature of self is followed to creative freedom and its ultimate realization.
Be serene in knowing you are succeeding in your goal.
The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.
The World card may be giving you permission to do whatever you want. Presently, your motivation is close to the will of the divine. Even if you commit an error, it will be turned to the greater good. Stay active and just keep moving forward. It is unnecessary to keep checking or interrupting your spontaneity with calculation. Rather than look for consensus or affirmation from others, simply dance the dance. In other words, express yourself, react naturally, and let the chips fall where they may.
What matters is divine intention. Whether or not human beings approve is less important. If you allow your ego to inflate, however, you cease to be useful to the greater plan.

The Strength Tarot card represents nature, which, however wild in its primal form, is tamed by our subtler, finer self — our feminine side, our inner self. The will and passion of our instinctive nature does not need to be broken, but refined and brought to consciousness, so that all levels of creation may come into harmony.
The feminine soul-force contains a persuasive power that can nurture and induce cooperation from others, stilling disruptive energies by harmonizing differences in the spirit of collective good will.

Although the cosmos blesses us with a day to integrate yesterday’s intensity, we still have plenty of work to do. It’s tempting to luxuriate in the sweet pleasures of the Moon’s harmonious aspects to jolly Jupiter and beautiful Venus. But bringing the energy into physical manifestation is challenging until later in the day when the Moon joins action-hero Mars. Nevertheless, indulgence is tempered by responsibility when Luna opposes karmic Saturn.
You’re no stranger to living in the present moment, but you might need to jump through a few hoops to keep up with the changes now. You’re eager to enjoy the innocent spontaneity while it lasts, but easy conversations seem to be followed by more complex discussions. Although you may look back on your activities and wish you had done something different, all’s well that ends well. Maintaining a positive demeanor is enough to transform a potentially unpleasant interaction into one that is beneficial for all. Winston Churchill said, “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”
Your confidence is fueled by a small accomplishment today, encouraging you to parlay a minor achievement into a major victory. However, your greed could create a storyline that leads you into more complicated territory than you expect. Instead of turning a perfectly lovely day into a demonstration of your superiority, graciously accept the accolades for a job well done. Living in gratitude rather than expectation cultivates happiness.
You are on a roll today, enamoring your friends and coworkers with your clever wit and mind-boggling efficiency. They can’t understand how you can juggle so many things at once. In fact, they might stare at you as if you were from another planet. Meanwhile, you like confounding others as you dance circles around them, knowing that you look busier than you actually are now. Unfortunately, you could be left exhausted by the end of the day without anything tangible to show for all your shenanigans. Greek storyteller Aesop wrote, “Appearances are often deceiving.”
Everyone notices the twinkle in your eyes and the smile on your face today, but you’re not giving them any facts to validate their assumptions. One reason you’re keeping your thoughts to yourself is that you might not be sure why you’re feeling so good. Or, perhaps you know exactly the source of your happiness; you just don’t trust that it will last. Either way, it’s preferable to find someone you can confide in about your inner journey. A joy that’s shared is a joy made double.
You may be living the good life now, yet trouble still pops up with regular frequency. Thankfully, you don’t need to handle a crisis by yourself while the charming Gemini Moon is happily camped out in your 11th House of Social Networks. Although your involvement with a group makes it difficult to set out on your own, everyone is there for you in practice, not just in theory. Allow yourself to feel energetically supported by your interactions with others. Counting your blessings includes counting your friends.
You want to enjoy the fruits of your previous labors and there are ripe experiences all around you that are ready for picking. However, the world seems like a noisy place today and you’re not eager to put up with all its distractions. Nevertheless, you might not be able to say no because the potential for pleasure is so enticing. It’s one thing to set your values aside for a while so you can explore uncharted ground. But it’s an entirely different situation if you’re looking for a permanent solution to your current boredom. Make the most of your adventure but pack your common sense just in case.
Your brain power is cranked up high and even if you’re just sitting in contemplation, you can hear words as they fly toward you from every direction. But you’re not one to wait around for something special to happen; if an opportunity doesn’t come knocking early in the day, you will go out looking for one later. In the meantime, use your imagination to explore every contingency possible. Capture the power of the moment by weaving your thoughts into stories with outcomes you wish to manifest.
Finding your center of gravity can be tricky, especially when you’re being blown around on the winds of change. Avoid the temptation of becoming singularly fixated on your success now or you might find yourself fighting against one obstacle after another. Letting go of control is never easy for you, but today it’s even harder. Ironically, you feel grounded again when you finally give in to your own self-restrictions. George Orwell wrote, “Happiness can exist only in acceptance.”
Someone may get a little too pushy with you today and you don’t appreciate it one bit. You admire others when they are direct, stating their needs or declaring their desires. But you reserve the ability to respond as you see fit, and don’t like being told in no uncertain terms what you must do. Rather than overreacting with rebellious behavior that demonstrates your policy of non-compliance, consider a more civil approach. Compromise is the art of dividing a cake so that everyone thinks they got the biggest piece.
There are so many different things to do today, you’re not even sure where to jump in. Fortunately, you possess plenty of energy and you can move through several of your projects quickly. It might even seem to others that you’re doing everything at once, but this is obviously just an appearance. Don’t let up; your satisfaction will be sweet reward for following through on what you start. If you run into resistance later in the day, that’s your sign to stop. Readdress any unfinished business after you enjoy a well-deserved rest.
Your weekend begins early as the planets invite you to cash out of work and plug into fun. A feisty Moon-Mars combo activates your 5th House of Love and Creativity, inspiring you to channel your energy into self-indulgent pleasures rather than tying up loose ends. But if you take off too soon, karma will surface quickly, demanding that you attend to those things you left behind. Magnify your enjoyment by finishing all your chores before you play.
You don’t like feeling disconnected from your intuitive powers, but you might need to get used to the lack of psychic clarity today. Fortunately, you can still find plenty of pleasure if you spend time honoring your personal needs. But you naturally have trouble setting limits and the Moon’s square to nebulous Neptune makes your logic even fuzzier now. Wait until your instincts tingle with receptivity. Fortunately, your persistence pays off, leading to tangible gains later on.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:
The New Moon in your Solar Return chart suggests that you will instinctively begin a new phase of your life this year. A decisively new direction has come about in your life. This can be an emotionally stimulating time in which you feel the urge to initiate and project, even if you are not quite clear about what you are projecting. Much of the energy in your life can have a magical quality to it as things are just automatically going in a certain direction. It is important to be intuitive at this time and allow the natural course to show you the way to the next step. Surprises (mostly very pleasant) pepper your year. New beginnings are in order, and you are bound to feel some level of excitement as the year unfolds.
This can be a year in which you experience important turning points, or you could begin new projects or goals that have a long-term impact on your life.
This is an excellent year in which to advance projects revolving around communications – writing, speaking, selling, and so forth. Your reputation may be enhanced through word of mouth. Making new contacts through learning and mental pursuits figures strongly as well. Your ability to make decisions increases this year. You are sensitive but sensible.
There can be some intensity in your love or social life this year, as you want to grow and develop in these areas of life. You should watch for impatience or too-high expectations in this regard. Your love nature is strong although given to extremes at times. You may overvalue something (or someone), perhaps in an attempt to dramatize your life. While at times you may feel insecure on a social level, other times this year you feel quite the opposite: sociable, in the mood to party, dramatic, extravagant, and inclined to overindulge as a result of a feeling of inner discontent and a desire for more from life than daily routines.
Connecting with like-minded people is likely but also with people who have new perspectives to share. It’s a particularly powerful year for communications, friendships that are often sudden or exciting, social affairs, and artistic work.
Mars in challenging aspect to Saturn suggests some ups and downs in the year ahead due to your plans and efforts meeting with resistance. At times, circumstances seem to block your efforts to assert yourself, and you might feel like more effort than usual is required to complete tasks, which could lead to some frustration. Patience is necessary because progress may not always be steady, and energy can be stop-and-go.
This is a powerful period for persuasion, meeting with people who can help you advance your goals, and intensive study or work on pet projects. Your words and ideas hold more weight and influence others more than usual. Publicity can figure strongly. Ideas are excellent, although you can sometimes be too impatient with startups or communicating too soon.
Significant attractions, meetings, or relationships can figure strongly this year. Personal magnetism is powerful.
This is a year of new beginnings and directions. Energy is fresh, although personal energy levels can be up and down. The year ahead is one of both practical application and a resourceful, confident approach. It can be a time of career advances. You can make serious progress on work that’s important to you, but be emotionally prepared for peaks and valleys. Connections made this year tend to motivate you to learn more and gain more confidence in your ideas. Your social life is likely to be busy and animated.
2017 is a Number Four year for you. Ruled by Uranus. This is a year of work and development. It’s “nose to the grindstone” time. It’s a time to deal with practical matters, and it’s not a time to be lazy or especially gregarious. Sometimes, it can be a year that feels hard, monotonous and routine, and/or lonely. Advice – get yourself organized, work to build your resources, keep busy.
2018 will be a Number Five year for you. Ruled by Mercury. This is a year of exploration and freedom. It’s a time when exploration and reaching out to others brings opportunities. It’s a good time to advertise and sell. Surprises are in store, and the routine is broken. This is a year when exciting relationships can be formed; or, if you are already in a partnership, new life is breathed into the relationship. Advice – explore, look for adventure, keep your eyes open for opportunities, mingle.
