GEMINI (May 21-June 20) •••• Use your wit and energy to accomplish what you want. Why not express your caring through actions, if that is easier? Don’t judge others and their statements.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• You cannot rein yourself in when you seem so full of energy and ideas. Nix a bad idea or a high risk. A friend demonstrates his or her caring.
