THE CUSP-BORN GEMINI

Are you really a Gemini? If your birthday falls during the third week of May, at the beginning of Gemini, will you still retain the traits of Taurus, the sign of the Zodiac before Gemini? And what if you were born late in Juneare you more Cancer than Gemini? Many people born at the edge, or cusp, of a sign have difficulty determining exactly what sign they are. If you are one of these people, heres how you can figure it out, once and for all.

Consult the cusp table on the facing page, then locate the year of your birth. The table will tell you the precise days on which the Sun entered and left your sign for the year of your birth. In that way you can determine if you are a true Geminior whether you are a Taurus or Canceraccording to the variations in cusp dates from year to year (see also page 17).

If you were born at the beginning or end of Gemini, yours is a lifetime reflecting a process of subtle transformation. Your life on Earth will symbolize a significant change in consciousness, for you are either about to enter a whole new way of living or are leaving one behind.

If you were born during the third week of May, you may want to read the horoscope book for Taurus as well as for Gemini, for Taurus holds the key to a hidden and often perplexing side of your personalityyet one that is the seed of your cosmic uplift and unfolding.

Mobility is your aim and variety your purpose. Yet you are drawn again and again to fixed, immobile Taurus. Your compulsion to settle down, find stability, wealth, and constancy attracts you to Taurus, and this attraction is a dilemma. For where is your true commitment? To varietythat old spice of lifeor to the solid, substantial promise of Taurus?

At best, you symbolize the birth of perception, the capacity of the mind to know and communicate information.

If you were born during the fourth week of June, you may want to read the horoscope book for Cancer, as well as Gemini, for in Cancer you find not only financial security but a way of making all your assets grow.

You are about to settle down, about to dock your ship in a port and stay awhile; but there is a restlessness in you that is irrepressible. You are preparing to make yourself secure. You can be shrewd, money-minded, and practical despite your moodiness, naivete, and sometimes irksome adolescent approach to life.

Above all, you are a skilled manipulator of language and design and your powers of reason lie behind everything you think and do.

THE ASCENDANT: GEMINI RISING

Could you be a double Gemini? That is, could you have Gemini as your Rising sign as well as your Sun sign? The tables on pages 8-9 will tell you Geminis what your Rising sign happens to be. Just find the hour of your birth, then find the day of your birth, and you will see which sign of the Zodiac is your Ascendant, as the Rising sign is called. The Ascendant is called that because it is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. For a more detailed discussion of the Rising sign and the twelve houses of the Zodiac, see pages 17-20.

The Ascendant, or Rising sign, is placed on the 1st house in a horoscope, of which there are twelve houses. The 1st house represents your response to the environmentyour unique response. Call it identity, personality, ego, self-image, facade, come-on, body-mind-spiritwhatever term best conveys to you the meaning of the you that acts and reacts in the world. It is a you that is always changing, discovering a new you. Your identity started with birth and early environment, over which you had little conscious control, and continues to experience, to adjust, to express itself. The 1st house also represents how others see you. Has anyone ever guessed your sign to be your Rising sign? People may respond to that personality, that facade, that body type governed by your Rising sign.

Your Ascendant, or Rising sign, modifies your basic Sun sign personality, and it affects the way you act out the daily predictions for your Sun sign. If your Rising sign indeed is Gemini, what follows is a description of its effect on your horoscope. If your Rising sign is not Gemini, but some other sign of the Zodiac, you may wish to read the horoscope book for that sign as well.

With Gemini on the Ascendant, that is, in the 1st house, your ruling planet Mercury is therefore in the 1st house. Mercury in this position gives you a restless spirit, pushing you on a constant search for knowledge. You are always alert for new information, and your quest may take you far afield to explore unfamiliar subjects and even foreign lands. Mercury confers a subtle wariness that could be your best defense when people try to fool you or cheat you. On the other hand, that trait could be aggressively used as a weapon against people, giving rise to unworthy actions, tricks, or disputes.

The desire to express yourself will be very strong in your personality. You tend to rely on logic rather than intuition, and you could go to great lengths to prove to yourself and to others the validity of your ideas. This need for expression combined with an equal need for variety gives your life a lot of surface drama: you are endlessly changing your focus of experience. In your lifetime you may hold a series of seemingly unrelated jobs; move frequently to new residences in unusual surroundings; make friends, drop them, pick them up again; change your world view often. Although other people may judge you to lack seriousness, that is not really so. You seek ideas and experience to help you understand and order your environment because you want from it maximal comfort and constant ego satisfaction.

Human contact is another large need for Gemini Rising individuals. It gives your desire to express yourself an audience. Yours is the sign of brothers and sisters, relatives, family. If you do not have a closely knit blood family, you will create a familylike network among friends, workmates, neighbors, and community contacts. You like to keep up with distant acquaintances, even ex-lovers, just so you can invite them to participate in one of your shindigs. And of course your home will be the center of attraction. For you are more than just tidy and fashionable; you know how to arrange a setting and accommodate people in order to stimulate the greatest communication between them.

Your youthful appearance and pleasing speaking voice attract people to you, and you know it. You are not above heightening the effect of these natural assets. You have been known to adapt your costuming to suit the occasion, and you sometimes manipulate your speech patterns to display emotions you dont feel or to invoke emotions in other people. As a result, you can be accused of self-centeredness.

Charm is your great natural talent; you do it with words, words, words. Gemini teachers can fascinate bored students into enjoying, let alone learning, a boring subject. Gemini adults can sweet-talk unruly youngsters into rational behavior. Gemini people in general lighten the lives of their friends with endless small talk about clothes, things, events, places, other people. You also enlighten your friends when you talk on that deeper, more sophisticated level of patterns of experience and cause and effect.
