Oh dear lord, I forgot Jeanette is a Gemini. So am I. This must
explain why I'm rushing out the door to meet a Gemini, as he is
breaking our date for tomorrow night, but who cares? They say there
are two of us, but there's only one....nice chattin with ya....
I'm a Sagittarius, but Gemini rising and several other planets in that
sign.
Someone once did my horiscope to see what my dominant sign is and said I
"function as a Gemini"
I'm mentally active. Put that with the Sag tendency to say whatever I'm
thinking, and Moon in Libra, which likes to see all sides of things and
fairness, and that explains me (LOL)
But, as Darrell Martini, "The Cosmic Muffin" used to say when he ended his
daily Boston MA astrology segment (when he was still doing this for free)
"Remember... it's a wise man who is guided by the stars, but a fool who is
ruled by them".
