Gemini May 22 - June 21
Career Talk
You, the employee
You do not have the intense drive or the willingness
to work overtime. You lack fixed and steady purpose
and you never understand endless, devoted dedication.
You have a built-in ability to deal with emergencies.
You are so persuasive, you can talk people into buying
things they couldn't possibly even use. You won't
throw away extravagant sums of money readily.
You keep the workplace humming with busy activity,
lots of jokes and gay chatter. But you will get things
done. You function very well as a secretary. Normally,
if you're a typical Gemini, you'll be able to do an
intelligent, clearly stated letter with just a hint
from your boss about the subject matter.
You will talk your boss into giving you the raise,
and make sure that you work that extra hour everyday.
For you, it is only perfectly logical. It is much
safer to avoid persuasive hurdles with you. You have
a youthful air of irresponsibility, and will shoot
down anything the first prude says. You have a mind
at least a million years-old, and the emotions of
a teenager. You look like one too.
You, the boss
You are a brilliant, though restless, executive. It
is hard for you to sit behind a desk for more than
one hour at a time. You can wear a hole in the carpet
pacing up and down, if you are cooped up in one place
for too long. When you are assigned an executive spot,
you will be quick to delegate authority to those around
you.
Your employees can look forward to a lot of excitement,
with you around. You are seldom dogmatic and your
opinions are flexible. You also hate antagonising
your employees. Few people interest you long enough
for that kind of intensity. Your true character, despite
your surface warmth, is cool, aloof and lonely.
Yet, you're not unsympathetic. You're not overly sentimental,
but you always see the ridiculous side of things.
There is always a slight whirl of confusion around
a Gemini-run office and constant activity. But you
won't be the one who is confused. You sort it all
out, clear the muddy waters of all the junk. Your
quick eye and your trigger-fast brain work in perfect
synchronisation. You get suddenly bored after you've
made financial or business successes, and you rush
off to the next challenge long before retirement time.
You are an expert at double talk. Yet, as clever as
you are in competitive situations, you are still an
incurable dreamer, and a smashingly good storyteller.
You, the colleague
You can be surprisingly aloof, where your work is
concerned. But you soon discover that you can talk
about anything, from the first man on the moon, to
the paisley prints on your cushion covers. You will
also talk your way to a raise or a promotion, but
remember, it pays to put in some work too!
Careers and you
What you have is The Great Communicator and The Great
Facilitator all rolled into one -- but wait, they're
two. Twins, right? Possessed of a restless and quick
mind, you are constantly moving from one project to
the next, so a capable assistant who can keep pace
with you is a good idea -- if they can keep up!
You work well as an intermediary or go-between, since
you love to talk. The context of these contacts is
probably a fast-paced social whirl where you are being
continuously challenged and stimulated. If things
get dull, you will set your sites on a new arena.
