Zodiac Sign: Gemini

Because you are cutting-edge and boundlessly curious, life is a never-ending journey of discovery for you. The idea of being bored — or growing boring — appalls you. There's too much to do, see and try in the world, and you are a true Renaissance woman. Since you switch interests so quickly, you may get a rep for having a split personality. Learning to stick things out past the honeymoon phase is a crucial lesson in your self-development. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, you're a born information gatherer. You may possess a talent for writing, broadcasting or public speaking. Your sign rules the hands, and yours need to stay busy playing instruments, making crafts, texting or IM-ing your bazillion friends. There's a media maven in you, and people love to read your whimsical musings. Gossip is your guilty pleasure, but your addiction to the grapevine can ferment important relationships if you aren't careful. Romantically, you can be a serial dater, and may need to "taste the rainbow" before you settle on a favorite flavor. Some Geminis can live happily as eternal bachelorettes. The right partner for you is a worldly, social, open-minded traveler who is eternally youthful just like you.
