May 29 in profile
Seven degrees into Gemini, the first decan is drawing toward its close, but the quality is still young and unsettled. Mercury governs both the sign and the decan, whose sub-sign is Gemini again, so ideas and words dominate. A May 29 Gemini is a fast reader, a natural mimic and an enthusiastic collector of stories. They tend to enjoy contrast, two jobs, two cities, two styles, and they tire quickly of a single setting.
Play for them is quick and verbal. They love word games, trivia nights, crosswords raced against a friend and silly voices at the dinner table. Creative projects start in bursts, a blog, a zine, a podcast, often with collaborators. They are generous with ideas and happy to let someone else take one and run with it, which makes them excellent in creative teams.
Generosity often takes the form of information. They send friends the job advert, the cheap flight, the article that answers last week’s question. They introduce people who should know each other and offer to proofread a cover letter at midnight. Their help is quick and frequent, light in weight. The growth edge is following up a week later, so good intentions turn into lasting support.
