Who says there’s a limit to how many influences one person can have? You’re the consummate collector of cool, endlessly curious and always aware of the latest and greatest offerings out there. As an air sign, you tend to breeze between interests, chasing every flight of fancy that grabs your attention. This is where your “split personality” reputation originates: One minute, you’re totally obsessed with 18th-century Russian poetry, the next, you’re on to postmodern feminist literature. The Internet was tailor-made for your needs, giving you the ability to research a topic at lightning speed and chat with virtual strangers (many of whom become your loyal companions and confidantes). While you hop around gathering data and friends alike, you must guard against your own tendency toward superficiality. Still yourself through fits of boredom, Gemini. Your most electrifying growth will come as a result of your self-imposed ennui. Since your mind is quick and curious, you should always be enrolled in a workshop or short-term course of study, like an art or music class.

Find a healthy outlet for your social research, like filming a documentary about an immigrant population in your city or starting a memoir-writing club to develop your life story into an inspiring work of literary mastery. The right romantic partner is endlessly playful, exploratory, and consistent (someone’s got to hold down the fort). He must also have supreme listening skills, since you process everything through conversation.
