Its a work first, play later kind of week in Geminiland, but your efforts will yield notable results. On Tuesday, a solar eclipse in Scorpio electrifies your sixth house of efficiency and routines, bringing a big, bright opening for your career. Eclipses reveal shadows, like previously unseen opportunities to make a name for yourself and scoot on up the ladder of success. You might even discover a position in another department that has your name written all over it. Dont be surprised if the week ends with you making a happy lateral move to a position within the same company that is a far better fit for your talents. Arrive to the office (if you work in one) on Tuesday armed with an elevator pitch and some visual presentation materials. You may have a chance to make an impromptu pitch to the higher ups or a client youve been dying to do business with. Brevity is the soul of wit, Gemini, so steal the show with your concise bullet points that go straight to the point. You can save the showmanship and long stories for another day. On Wednesday, Mercury retrograde moves back into Scorpio and your sixth house, too. People you worked with in the past could reappear on the scene, becoming noteworthy players in this weeks saga. A project that got shelved a while ago may pick up steam, as retrogrades bring the past back to life. Dont be afraid to pitch again if you think theres life left in it. This eclipse-Mercury mojo also brings an opening for your health. If youve been blowing off yoga in favor of cocktail hour, its time to flip the script. Barefoot on the mat in Warrior I is where you belong, or perhaps doing an Insanity workout in your living room. A nagging health issue should not be ignored, especially if its one that has bothered you chronically. Instead of diagnosing with Dr. Google, call up someone whos completed med school and get those aches and pains dealt with once and for all. On Saturday, lusty Mars heads into Capricorn and your scintillating eighth house until December 25. You might add a pole-dancing workout to your fitness regimen, like Sheila Kelleys S-Factor which is designed to help you commune with the erotic creature who lives within you. Your pursuit of nookie could become more fierce and fervent. Be careful not to get tangled up in any dangerous liaisons, as you could find yourself tempted by the lure of a bad boy or a secret affair. Financially, this Mars phase gives you a daring edge. Learn about investments and how to put your dollars into promising places. Could the downturn of the real estate market be the basis of your future fortune like Gemini Donald Trump? You might even explore foreclosure sales or pool funds for the development of an up-and-coming neighborhood. If you have a project that is in need of funding, this Mars phase gives you the courage to pursue investors, VCs, and companies that may be willing to put dollars behind your dreams. Record deal, anyone?

General Characteristics of Gemini

The Gemini mind (and mouth!) is a busy machine, always moving at warp speed. That's because your sign is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. Mercury also rules technology and the mind, making Gemini one of the most curious and cutting-edge signs of the zodiac. If two is double the fun, then as the sign of the twins, you know it's true! There are at least two personalities inside of you at all times. Adventurous Geminis change faster than the weather, and constantly flip between moods and interests. One day, you're into frilly, girl stuff. The next day, you're over that and skydiving out of an airplane. If possible, try to stick with a couple key passions for the long haul, and get really good at them. You love to chatter and you have a million great ideas. Keep your fast-moving mind and hands busy with email, instant messages, mobile gadgets, and great conversations. Watch a temptation to gossip. Keep a notebook handy to jot down your thoughts at all times.
