GEMINI Man - PISCES Woman

GEMINI Man -  PISCES Woman

In his absence, things are usually quiet on the island. The

faeries take an hour longer in the morning, the beasts

attend to their young but with the coming of Peter,

who hates lethargy, they are all under way again

To keep a love affair or a marriage serene and untroubled, the typical girl Fish will do almost anything. She'll accommodate herself, her routine and her habits to the convenience of the Gemini man she loves, even though her feminine-liberation minded female friends will be scandalized. They'll pity her openly, but she'll just smile and ignore them.

She's not really a masochistic slave to the whims of the Twins. Her sympathetic acquaintances just think she is. They're not alone. Her Gemini man is under the same impression. And that's exactly the impression this sweet, accommodating, soft-spoken lady intends to project to him (and to all her inquisitive friends, neighbors and relatives). She knows what she's doing. She's making life easier for herself. Once she's fallen in love with a Gemini the Neptune woman has enough common sense to comprehend that she has only two practical choices in this challenging 4-10 Sun Sign Pattern relationship. She can decide love isn't worth the demands a Gemini man makes upon her delicate psyche and leave him. Just slip away some morning when he's not around. Or she can decide that the pleasure and happiness, the contentment and peace of loving him - and receiving the love and devotion of at least one of his Twin selves in return - are worth a few adjustments here and there in the relationship. If the latter is her choice, she'll simply make it work. It may take some intricate planning, but she'll manage.

Passive resistance is her Neptune secret. She was born with an awesome talent for it, as some people are born with an ear for music or perfect pitch. She knows just when to back off, how far to retreat - precisely when it's a propitious time to advance and how far she can go with him. Actually, she doesn't really know. She senses it. It's as though she was equipped at birth with some sort of invisible but sensitive antenna that flashes both precognitive and perceptive signals to her regarding human behavior patterns.

All Geminis are undeniably as mentally quick as can be, always alert and on guard, nearly impossible to deceive. But as clever as the Gemini man indisputably is, he can be blind to the Neptunian strategies of a Pisces girl. If she has things she wants to do, things of which he might disapprove, she won't waste her energies rocking their relationship with insistent demands or tearful pleas. She'll simply do as he wishes when he's there - and as she wishes when he's not there. What she wants to do that doesn't receive his blessing needn't be anything sinister or sly. It needn't be planning to rob a bank or being unfaithful.

It could be something as innocent and ordinary as sleeping an extra hour.Like all Birds, the typical Gemini is nearly always up and alert quite early, either whistling merrily or complaining crankily (depending on which Gemini Twin arose first), and he can become quite critical of those who lie abed later than Gemini believes they should when there are things to be done. It could be something she wants to read - which isn't necessarily the reading matter he would recommend to her. Perhaps visiting friends when he feels she should be spending her time in a more profitable way. Maybe keeping an appointment with the beauty parlor. Why would he frown on that? Because he thinks she's

beautiful just the way she is - and besides, the money she spends on personal beautification could be better spent by the two of them traveling somewhere together. To Gemini, the absolute ultimate of ecstasies is a change of scene - going somewhere. - anywhere at all that's different and away from daily routine.

Gemini's cleverness includes an unerring instinct for the expedient. Like, if she made her beauty parlor appointment when he was present, he'd try to talk her out of it, either with his considerable powers of persuasion and charm or through cranky criticism. But once she's gone and he sees the finished product, he seldom argues the point. First of all, she looks lovely, and he can't find it in his heart to quarrel with her when she's so appealing. Secondly, he knows it's a waste of time to try to stop something after the fact. This man seldom wastes time. He believes time was made to be filled by doing something - every second of it somehow utilized (except for sleeping, a luxury the average Mercury birds indulge in for only very brief periods). Time is the stuff of which Life and dreams are made. To squander it by doing simply nothing is, to him, a sinful thing.

The Pisces woman has a completely different view of time. She feels that it's inexhaustible - there's always more of it tomorrow if any of it slips away from her today. And she believes one of the nicest ways to spend it is doing nothing. Especially after she's depleted her energies with a thousand and one duties of service to others, and her normally cheerful spirit is sagging at the seams. Time is best spent when possible, she feels, in just being herself, simply existing in the cool, green Pisces waters of calm contemplation. It refreshes her soul.

Living under the always somewhat tense 4-10 vibration with a Gemini man, her soul needs a lot of refreshing. The very qualities that drew her close to him in the beginning may later grow to be extremely wearing and wearying to her more placid nature. His mind is full of little surprises, and this delights her. He's quick, mentally agile, with an instant grasp of everything he sees, hears or reads. His ideas pop out when least expected, and they're nearly always original and fascinating. He seems to be forever busy dreaming, thinking, planning or doing - while she is busy just being. He can change occupations or careers at the wink of one of his twinkling eyes, and she never knows what to expect

around the next corner. It's exciting. It's intriguing and compelling. He's like a mystery she can't completely fathom, and she adores mysteries. But these same traits of her Mercury-urged man, after a while, may leave her longing for solitude and quiet for the security of sameness a retreat into the soothing stillness of her own slower and softer dreams and goals.

For a time, his wonderful wit, his heart-tugging, little-boy, three-cornered grin, the star-shine in his expressive eyes, his sheer intelligence and his multiple talents will keep the girl Fish mesmerized by his Mercurial spell. It's like watching a living kaleidoscope to see the changes in his moods from affectionate, merry, warmly tender and generous - to irritable, sarcastic, sullen and stingy - and back again (to the dominance of the "good Twin"). When she watches his mental acrobatics from a distance, they're interesting, even electrifying, and certainly stimulating. It's only when she gradually allows herself to become an integral and inseparable part of the many-faceted ups and downs of his unpredictable mental, physical and emotional activity that the wear and tear on her tranquility begins to show.

However much she may try to resist, the Neptune woman can't help being eventually drawn into the nearest vortex of human experience. She absorbs the feelings and emotions around her like a psychic sponge or a sensitive photographic plate (much in the same way that Cancerians and Scorpios do). And because her own aura is keyed to a gentler chord, the percussion of Gemini cymbals and the high notes of the flutes can sometimes jangle her nerves and disturb her poise, leaving her vaguely depressed. Her solution is to swim quietly away from the floods of feeling around her which threaten to drown her....enter the still world of her inner serenity . . . whatever the cost and return, her strength renewed. During these necessary periods of retreat, the Gemini man who loves her will be puzzled and hurt, sometimes angry.

It never occurs to him that he's adept in the self-defensive tactic of mental retreat himself, an expert at disappearing into aloof detachment when she most needs him to be attentive and concerned. Remember that Pisces is a very old soul, born wise - and Gemini is the symbolic Toddler Child (see "The Twelve Mysteries of Love" in the front of this book). He can't help being a trifle self-centered. Yet, often his insight is surprising, despite the symbolic "Child" charisma. There will be times when he'll display an amazing comprehension of what she's going through, then show her he understands with his Gemini light touch of compassion .. exquisitely tender. Or he senses when the right thing to do is to make her laugh, suggest a trip .. or just a drive or walk together. These are the rare and singing moments of their love.

Frequently, the sexual chemistry between this man and woman is the silent alchemy that brings them closer together in every way - not just physically. Somehow, through the blending of their Air and Water Elements during the intimacies of their sexual union, he becomes more like her - and she becomes more like him. So that, strangely, after their lovemaking, she's more alive, vibrant and aware .. he's more subdued and gentle, less restless and seeking. When Water joins with Air in sexual Oneness (see "The Blending of the elements" section in the back of the book) Water magically transforms Air into its own element, in the form of life-giving, cooling rain, after which all of Nature

is fresh again, drenched with promise and scented with new hope. Enclosed within the circle of each other's arms, the Fish and the Twins often find the elusive harmony they reach for together at other times, and never quite seem to capture. The sexual mystery between them can be a powerful regenerative experience for both, the secret and strong foundation for their continued desire to try to understand one another's vastly different personalities.

Her procrastination, her tendency toward evading issues annoys and frustrates him. But she's an enormously facile subject changer. It's all he can do to keep up with her, swift as he is. His periodic criticism and scattered interests trouble and upset her. Yet she nearly always finds a way to avoid unpleasantness. He'd rather she didn't, because he needs the occasional mental stimulation of debate and discussion to keep his Mercury wits sharpened. She'd rather he relaxed more and worried less. He'd prefer her to relax less and worry more. Well, perhaps not worry - but at least see things as they are, instead of the way she'd like them to be (even though he often succumbs to daydreaming himself).A Gemini man is designed in a mosaic pattern of sudden twists and turns. Just when you think he's critical of metaphysical matters, he'll buy a book about the Great Pyramid. I knew one Mercury Bird who claimed contempt for the occult, then mentioned he'd like a crystal ball for Christmas. He wanted to experiment. Experimentation is the adrenalin Gemini needs to keep going. If something manages to catch his interest, he'll never rest until he's figured out the concept and improved upon it.

The complexities of this man's mind and attitudes will forever both magnetize and elude the Pisces woman. Sometimes his contradictions will increase her admiration of him, moving her to even try to imitate his analytical and intellectual yet occasionally imaginative approach. At other times, she'll despair of ever truly knowing him. For different reasons, he'll also wonder if he'll ever really know her. Because there are two of him and two of her, the game never ends. Gemini and Pisces are both signs of duality. Now and then, when she's mentally,physically and spiritually exhausted, she'll turn icy cold and refuse to communicate,which distresses him more than he ever allows her to realize. But most of the time she avoids a scene by ignoring her own hurt feelings. When ugliness,confusion or confrontation appears on the horizon, the dreamy girl Fish just pretends it isn't there, and for her, then, it disappears. She's learned that if you await patiently, most things resolve themselves. But it's impossible for him to face a problem by make-believing it doesn't exist. He's compelled to analyze and solve it immediately. He can no more resist this urge than he can resist working a crossword puzzle or answering the questions aloud when he watches a quiz show on television (which he always guesses before the person who's being asked). Every Gemini man is an instructor at heart, driven to purify muddy waters with the clearness of reason and logic. Then, too, there's the puzzling contradiction of his daydreaming.

Because Gemini and Pisces are of the Water and Air Elements, they'll never be as demonstrative, warm and affectionate outwardly as people born under the Fire Element. Yet, because of their combined water and air essence, they offer each other a great gift - freedom. She'll seldom question  his impulses or his whereabouts, for she is not the possessive type. He'll grant her, likewise, the same freedom of movement. He won't mind where she floats around when he isn't there - but when he is, he'll expect her to be near, for Gemini requires an audience. She's a beautiful listener, and to him, this is her most endearing quality. Privately, he knows this soft-spoken lady of quiet secrets and subtleties is genuinely interested in everything he has to say - and above all, this is his deepest need.

She knows this changeable man of many moods will always need her - and this, above all, is her deepest need: to be needed. When he's sarcastic, as Gemini can sometimes be, he breaks her heart. But when his charm returns, his eyes twinkle with surprises again, when he projects his wistful three-cornered grin and his Peter Pan yearnings, she knows she's made the right choice to compromise her preferred life style to his. By doing so, she hasn't lost anything really, and she's gained her very own human kaleidoscope, that changes colors, shapes and designs at the slightest touch.

Repeatedly, he'll scold her for being so generous and extravagant. Then one day, without warning, he'll fly all over town, as though Mercury's silver wings were truly fastened on his heels, borrowing money he doesn't have, from two or three banks, to lend to a friend in trouble. For months, he'll make serious plans to enroll in night school to get his engineering degree, then he'll suddenly buy a typewriter and announce he's going to be a writer. He'll come home, tired from doing mental push-ups all day, refuse dinner, inform her he's going to bed, and grumpily head for the bedroom. Less than five minutes later, he'll reappear, wink at her with the old magic, and ask her if she wants to go for a ride to watch the sunset, then have dinner in town and see a play.

While she's changing, he'll nag her to hurry, and irritably complain that it takes her forever to get ready to go anywhere. But when she's sitting in the car beside him, he unexpectedly tells her she's never looked more beautiful. "Do you know I wouldn't know what to do without you?" he asks her. She doesn't reply, she just smiles. She's known that all along. That's why she's still there.

The LIBRA - SAGITTARIUS Relationship

To describe them all would require a book as large as an

English-Latin, Latin-English Dictionary ...

Librans and Sagittarians are sometimes difficult to untangle, especially in bunches. Their astrological passport descriptions can now and then vary as much as those of Gemini and Pisces, since all four Sun Signs are what astrology calls "double signs" or signs of duality. Consequently, there are many Libra and Sagittarian qualities and quirks that defy definition; yet there are also enough familiar stampings of their Sun Signs to make them recognizable in a crowded elevator after a few hours of forced intimacy from being stuck between two floors.

There are the party-loving, playboy and playgirl Librans - the bookish, studious, legal or Judge types of Librans - the scientific, highly intellectual ones - and the artistic, sensitive, fioating-on-pink-clouds Librans. Up and down the Scales they go, and where they balance is hard to know. But you can be sure they are all incurable optimists who try to be fair. Every last one of them.

As for the Archers, one of the facts we know for certain about them is that they are (and almost always innocently) candid, frank and tactless. They're blissfully unaware that they have just demolished you with a few words, and if that doesn't do it, they'll finish off the demolition with a whole string of them that painfully hit the mark. ZINGO! We also know that they're very funny, very intelligent, very idealistic, somewhat clumsy - and even more optimistic than Libra. They are inevitably naive in some way. However, in between these reliable signposts of Sagittarian character are miles of short cuts and detours.

There are the owlish, deceptively quiet, perceptive Archers, who scowl at you sternly, then suddenly twinkle at you, bounce up and down, knock over the umbrella stand and say something brilliantly funny - or just simply brilliantly brilliant. There are also the Sagittarians who are outwardly conservative and seemingly serious. They go along in this manner for long periods; then, without warning, they pull out Jupiter's bow of truth, aim it skyward and shoot forth shimmering showers of dreams so gigantic in scope that only a child would dare to dream them.

Moving right along, there are Archers who do nothing at all but read and think. There are others who spend most of their time singing or dancing and playing practical jokes on their friends. Then there are the Archers who are inspired researchers, authors and scientists - and those who drive their friends, relatives and neighbors crazy with questions, questions, questions. They are all, to some degree, embarrassingly curious. Embarrassing to you, that is, not to them. It is not easy to embarrass Sagittarius. They are not the blushers of the zodiac. There are also Archers who are probably space people. Nothing else could explain their Star-Trekish natures and behavior.

In beginning an attempt to untangle them all, we'll concentrate first on what Libra and Sag have in common, such as - they both like to talk. Yes, talking, very definitely.

In Libra and Sagittarius, mental agility and verbal dexterity are blended in equal parts. The mental agility is always there, even in the more rare, quiet and untalkative Librans and Archers. Instead of expressing their thoughts aloud, they just scribble their philosophies on memo pads, in books, plays or diaries, and keep right on thinking, thinking, thinking. As for the more numerous talkative folk of both Sun Signs, they approach their verbal discourses somewhat differently.

It's like this. Both Libra and Sagittarius are capable of being absolutely charming conversationalists, holding groups of people spellbound for hours. Utterly delightful, they are. But they can both also cause your temper to boil, or send you into frantic frustration when they flip over to their reverse communicative patterns. In this area, Libra prefers to drive you into a nervous breakdown by arguing over every word you speak, back and forth, taking both sides of an issue, and leaving you hanging somewhere in the middle. Worse, they invariably win, one way or another - either through their cool, airy logic, or with the wind-up smile they save till the end, which is so dazzling, you totally forget what it was they said to make you angry - and you smile back. They are deadly debaters for this reason.

The way Sag drives you bananas is slightly different. The Archers, when they're exhibiting their negative conversational traits, do their number on you with tactless, yet honest, observations. In the middle of a discussion of earthquakes in California, or the fluctuating price of gold in Colorado, they'll ask you, point-blank, why you wear a rug, or at what age did your hair begin to fall out. This sort of thing can suddenly short-circuit the chitchat. The reason they ask the second one is because Archers themselves tend to lose their own hair early not all of them, of course, but an uncommonly large percentage of them - and they are consumed with curiosity about the subject. Paba. Take Paba. Para Amino Benzoic Acid. Get it at the Health Food store, and take 200 to 600 milligrams per day, along with 600 to 1,000 units per day of d-alpha tocopherol (not mixed tocopherols) Vitamin E. You Archers may soon have hair as luxuriant as a Leo's proud mane, and it's also more than slightly possible that the grey hairs, as they fall out naturally, will grow back in their normal color. Now do be still,won't you? And stop asking so many questions.

When a typical Libra and Sag get together, there's seldom a still or a silent moment. They'll talk away the hours with zest and vigor, exchanging pure enjoyment of all the mental activity. Libra requires mental stimulation, being a mental Air Sign. Sag requires any sort of stimulation at all, being a Fire Sign. Libra's Air fans the Archer's Fire, and the flames dance merrily. However, if the Archer presses candor too far, the Libra Scales will topple out of balance, and the Air of the Libra person can whip itself into a regular tornado of anger. Since Libra is a Cardinal Sign, Sag a Mutable Sign, Libra will almost always take the lead in the association. Sagittarians seldom resent this, because they much prefer to communicate and wander around, bearing messages of hope (however blunt) and tidings of good cheer, rather than to be stuck with the boring and restrictive responsibilities of leadership, whether it's being in charge of a business, a home or a relationship. When you're bogged down in all that dull and dreary duty, you never get a chance to throw snowballs, ride horseback, rescue dogs and

cats from the pound, inspire people with high ideals or travel around the world searching for truth, scooping up excitement along the way. As philosophical as they are, Sagittarians must have fun and changes of scenery. Even Sagittarian nuns and priests are not stuffy sorts. They prefer their missions to be varied and challenging.

That's another of the predictable things about Archers, of all the assorted types mentioned in the beginning of this chapter. They have a thing about religion, as they have a thing about philosophy (nearly synonymous). At one time or another, nearly every Sag will either briefly or permanently contemplate nunhood, priesthood or monkhood. A goodly share of them make the spiritual life a vocation. The ones who don't will spend considerable time arguing with Librans over religion, in debates that range all the way from atheism to Zen - with every shade of Hare Krishna, Mormon, Protestant and Catholic dogma in between.

With few exceptions, despite their good-humored and interesting debates, arguments and discussions, Libra and Sag get along beautifully. Just imagine how the world might have benefited from a teaming up of the combined humanitarianism, friendly candor and energies of Libran Eleanor Roosevelt and Sag Betty Ford - or of Libran actor Charlton Heston (as Moses, Ben-Hur, or just as himself) and wise, jolly, compassionate, outspoken and beloved Sagittarian Pope John XXIII. The Great Justice of a spiritually evolved Libran and the Great Idealism and Honesty of an aware Sagittarian is a combination that can create crescendos of miracles.

Since we no longer have with us Librans Eleanor Roosevelt and Gandhi, or Archers Winston Churchill and Mark Twain, we might image (and pray for) Libran actress Brigitte Bardot and Sag entertainer Frank Sinatra to go together to Libran Prime Minister Trudeau, of Canada, and persuade him to halt the cruel, bloody butchering and skinning alive of the baby seals every spring, causing their terrified mothers to give birth in the icy waters, in a futile attempt to protect their babies from being brutally clubbed and murdered in such agony only to have them drown, threatening their complete extinction in the alarmingly near future. Bardot has been actively involved in this pursuit of a very holy grail for the longest time, nearly alone among her fellow film stars. She and Sinatra might even convince Libran President Carter to think of a fair way for the United States to offer to substitute some sort of economic benefit to Trudeau to replace the baby seal disgrace, since the financial aspect seems to be the main Canadian concern. Or maybe a group of Archers and Librans could follow the example of actress Terry-Anne Moore, and make a plea on television to all the women who wear sealskin coats, asking them if they realize how sternly their vanity will punish them in their next incarnations. It will be a heavy karmic retribution, from which there is no escape - although it can be negated by a reversal of behavior, and perhaps a generous donation to the Greenpeace environmental group in San Francisco.

"Let the punishment fit the crime, and be meted out accordingly," intones Libra, the judge. "You are all murderers, stained with innocent blood," accuses Sagittarius, Archer of the Truth-that-hurts-but-heals.

Even when they have no Great Cause to pursue, Libra and Sag walk the same path, spreading light in the darkness as best they can, guided by their ruling planets, Venus and Jupiter. Expansive Jupiter, ruler of Sag, takes all the beauty, balance, gentleness and harmony of Venus, the ruler of Libra, and increases it a thousandfold. Sagittarius helps Libra keep those Scales of Justice hanging level - and Libra helps the Archer aim his or her Bow of Truth with a steady hand. These two very naturally need each other, and we all need them.

Neither Libra nor Sag will ever bore each other. The Archer is highly intelligent, as inquisitive as a bird dog, alert, bright and anxious to seek all the answers Libra has to offer - which are never less than carefully thought out, and nearly always wise. One of the rare times these two will not get on so well is when one of them has the Moon or Ascendent in an Earth Sign, and throws wet blankets or mounds of earthy stuffiness on the other's need to socialize, because they both love parties, and are, by nature, people-mixers. The Libra half of the team, who has a tendency to lean a little heavily on sweets, must be careful not to gain any extra pounds around his or her Archer friend, who may hand Libra a copy of Bill Dufty's Sugar Blues and remark, with cheerful casualness, "You're getting a potbelly, you know. The reason you're so fat is because white sugar is a drug, and you're an addict, and you don't even realize it, because you've become a victim of the sugar pushers." This could be a mite harmful to their harmony. Likewise, Libra can create no small amount of tension in the association by promising Sag to go somewhere or do something, then hedging for hours - or days - weighing the pros and cons of the thing. Finally, Libra says "Yes," followed by - "But on the other hand, it might be better not to, because . . . " Or, finally Libra says "No," followed by - "But on the other hand, it might be better to go ahead, because . . . , " by which time the Archer has already tuned out and made his or her plans with someone else. It was attending a performance of Man of La Mancha that they were discussing, the musical about Don Quixote's impossible dreams and his eternal tilting at windmills. Libra should have gone. He - or she - would have left the theatre with a more comprehensive understanding of the Sagittarian motives and goals.

But don't worry. It will pass. They'll make up, these two, because theirs is a sextile vibration, and in astrology, sextile means opportunity. Libra and Sag will never run short of opportunities for happiness together. If only Sag will learn to count to ten before speaking, and if only Libra will stop deliberating every decision, they can be both cozily and creatively compatible.

The LIBRA - LIBRA Relationship

"They live in nests on the tops of trees; and the mauve ones

are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are

just little sillies who are not sure what they are."

The older Librans grow, the wiser they become. After playing both judge and jury, and weighing decisions of yes or no, wrong or right, stop or go, thousands of times, a person gradually begins to have confidence in what he (or she) is doing. It takes practice.

Libra men and women (and children) never pretend to know things they don't know, as some of the other Sun Signs tend to do. They ask. They deliberate. They discuss. If they're in doubt, they'll frankly admit "I'm in doubt."They're obsessed by a moral compulsion to do the fair thing, rather than the unfair thing. To do something they consider morally wrong gravely disturbs their consciences. That's why, when a Libran finally does say something, people believe it's trustworthy - and nine times out of ten, it is.

This is true of the white ones, the mauve ones, and the blue ones. Incredible as it may seem, a so-called Libran "hit man," one who murders for pay (and a few of them admittedly have been born in October), has what he believes to be just cause for such deplorable professional activities. It would be interesting to know what his justification might be, but you can be certain there's been a justification, if he's a Libran - and twisted or not, it's been weighed in the Scales of fairness and morality.

 For example, all soldiers and officers in the armed forces who were born under the Sun Sign of Libra sincerely believe they're justified in taking human life, not viewing war as murder, but seeing themselves as patriotic heroes, defending some great cause. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong, but they always believe they're right, arriving at their assessments only after due deliberation.

A Libra porno film actress or Playboy model will have gone through the same weighing process as her less exhibitionistic-type Libran sisters, and arrived at what she believes are logical and even moral reasons for her decision to accept money to use her body to deliberately titillate and sexually arouse strangers. She will have considered all sides, and decided that the cash benefits she believes she needs for a private dream somehow balance the abasement of her femininity and her future motherhood. Some of her justifications will contain a modicum of sense, some will be pure self-deception - but you can be sure they'll all have been seriously weighed on Libra's Scales before a decision is made. This is what makes Libra people so lovable. No matter how major or minor their mistakes in judgment, one always knows they've genuinely tried to do what's right and fair and just - and trying is never less than a virtue when it's sincere, as it invariably is with Libra.

Unfortunately, other people may not see it that way. Librans are always being unfairly labeled by other Sun Signs as unreliable, accused of not following through on Tuesday what they said on Monday last. That's why they often feel more comfortable when they're dealing with one another. At least, two Librans will usually give each other credit for decency of motive, regardless of personal disagreements, and they'll have more than their "fair" share of those. Despite one Libra person's vacillation, the other Libran is sympathetically aware that when his (her) mind is finally made up, there will be a grim determination to follow through that nothing short of a cannonball could stop. Each Libra knows the other Libra's mind is firm, once it's been firmed. I mean, really, what could be more logical than that? Before firming, it's like clay, easily changed from one form to another - until the final molding. Then the decision is popped into the potter's oven to be glazed, never failing to come out hard and tough, resistant and enduring.

Two Librans of the same or opposite sexes, adults or children, will spend a great deal of their time together talking. All the subjects will be enthralling because of the logical, intellectual aspect Libra brings to the analysis. Some will concern vital issues of the day involving politics, ecology, and so forth; some will be petty, inconsequential matters, like what are the best kinds of strings for a guitar or tennis racquet, or whether the window should be closed or open at night when one is sleeping. I'll settle that last argument for them myself. Open.Definitely open. Most especially with Libra, because all Air Signs tend to have poor circulation, and must breathe fresh air while they're sleeping or they'll never achieve stable health and longevity.

But the subject matter isn't what's important in a discussion between these two Venus-ruled people, nor is the question of who wins and who loses important. What's important to Librans is the excitement of a mutually stimulating intellectual debate, which they find mentally energizing, like a tonic. Unlike their debates with other Sun Signs, verbal exchanges between these two usually end in a draw anyway. Each of them starts out choosing a side, and as things progress, they begin taking a different side, then trading sides in the middle, until an onlooker is totally confused. All the while, the two Libra opponents are happily enjoying themselves. As long as these two people are given a reasonable length of time in which to discuss matters with one another and make up their minds, there's no trauma involved. It's when other Sun Signs rush them into decisions that their Scales dip out of balance, causing more mental, emotional,and physical damage than anyone would ever guess - except another Libran.Any Venus-ruled person beset with multiple problems simultaneously, each demanding priority attention, can be pressed beyond endurance, whether it's Libra President Jimmy Carter or your own Libra friend, relative, neighbor, business associate, lover, or mate.

 An excellent example of Libra's ability to stick to a decision, once made, is India's Mahatma Gandhi's amazing will power in holding fast to his firm faith in passive nonresistance as the only path to freedom from tyranny and a lasting peace. The caste system of his country was an affront to his Libra sense of justice, dramatically demonstrated by his adoption of the daughter of an "untouchable."

 Libra and Libra have more in common than just their mutual dimples and ear-to-ear smiles, their indecisiveness, and their concern for fairness. An office, classroom, store, or home where you see two of them floating on their pink clouds, or hanging around in their helicopters, will probably be tastefully decorated, most likely in pastel shades, or at the very least, in a subdued, matching color scheme, or they won't be there very long. Nor will they be comfortable in the midst of loud noises or jarring sounds. Very few Librans are construction workers, not just because of the ear-splitting offense of riveting and such, but also because the Venus influence causes them to recoil from soiled clothes. All forms of dirt are displeasing to them aesthetically. Ugliness of any kind quickly disturbs the Libra equilibrium. A Libra ambulance driver is certain to be a most unhappy human, considering the shrill scream of the sirens and the nature of the work. Add police and firemen sirens and duties to the list of no-no's for Libra. Any Libran involved in such occupations should already be weighing a change as soon as possible. Whatever the sex, age, or social status, Libra needs to sink back periodically into a pile of plump pillows and listen to music now and then, to restore harmony to the soul.

One of the perplexing problems which will plague two Librans in any kind of an association is the metabolism syndrome. It's like this: When a Libra person is evenly balanced, the life style will consist of equal periods of what some unfair meanies call laziness, but which is really exhaustion requiring rest - following exhausting spurts of stamina and energy. Libra will work like a plough horse, feverishly, efficiently, and uncomplainingly for a long while - then suddenly reverse gears into a long spell of trancelike lethargy, during which (believe it or not!) even talking is an effort. It's all Librans can do to keep from taking to their beds at such times. There should be no guilt feelings associated with the Libra lethargic periods, because it simply means the physiological Scales are demanding balance. The batteries must be recharged by complete rest in a tranquil, quiet atmosphere. If a Libra person is unable to do this, but is forced to go to work, mingle with people, and so forth, he (or she) will be so unpleasant, miserable, and just plain nasty, everyone starts to wonder how astrology can possibly be correct in calling these folk peaceful, gentle souls with a smooth temperament and mild manners. Don't blame me, I've always warned you that Librans are regular cross patches when their bodies and minds don't receive the proper rest at the time they need and demand it. I'm the one (as far as I know) who coined the phrase "cranky crocodiles" for Libra, so I haven't led you astray by telling you only about the sweet side of their natures. But the important thing about all this is that, when a couple of Librans get together, they should chart their individual "push-retreat" periods and pray that these occur at different times. Like, when one Libran is weary, dreary, and lethargic, the other one should be in the "manic" stage - peppy enough to wait on, soothe, and pamper the former one. And, naturally, vice versa. If their up-down periods match, maybe one Libra can try to "turn around," so to speak, to counterbalance the other Libran's mood swings - because these two can't expect compatibility unless their metabolisms are thus counterbalanced.

 Just imagine the scene when two Librans are both in an upswing, furiously writing poems, cleaning out closets, scrubbing floors, walking the dog, waxing the car, bathing the baby every five minutes, their four bare feet happily stomping in washtubs full of grapes, to make wine, singing continuously smiling those dazzling smiles until there's so much light in the house it fades all the colors in the drapes and furniture (which were already pastel before they faded)getting months ahead on any work they do, dancing and prancing, and, in general, carrying on in a veritable frenzy of perfumed, powerful, and vital activity bicycling, tricycling, jogging, jumping, sun bathing, swimming, winning 

sparkling all through the night and leaping all through the day. Just thinking about it is enough to fatigue the faint-hearted.

Next, picture these same two Librans hitting a down-swing together, in unison. There they are, sadly synchronized - walking around like zombies, numb and weak, their four eyes glazed, as irritable as can be, making mistakes in their checkbooks, talking back to the boss at work, dangerously crossing the street without looking, listless, unsmiling, pale and frail and wan - both of them draped across the air-conditioner, or flopped on the floor, in a kind of stupor, unable to move or speak, like helpless puppets whose strings have been abruptly cut. Isn't that a depressing scene to imagine? I paint these pictures with broad strokes of the planetary brush hopefully to startle the two Libra people reading this chapter into realizing how important it is for them to try to polarize their metabolisms if they're going to spend a lot of time hanging around together. That way, they can give each other a helping hand - a kind of buddy-boost to the spirits.

Libra is known to astrology as The Peacemaker, and one of the most beautiful things about two Librans is that they possess the wonderful ability to bring peace into one another's minds and hearts. Both hope and optimism spring eternal in the Venus breast. Sentimental Librans think in terms of poetry, art, and music . . . and so their thoughts have wings, with the power to fly them into ever higher heavens from the darkest hells. Although these people judge themselves harshly, with no allowance for plea bargaining, they won't impose their sense of morality on others.

Libra sternly pronounces the judgment of Truth and Justice, then is counseled gently by Venus to suspend the sentence - to grant to the contrite accused and to the sorrowful guilty their freedom... and another chance. . . bringing the faint-remembered echo of someone's compassionate words: Judge not, that ye be not also judged. That's how Libra's Scales measure human frailty and mortal yearnings - when they're balanced.

VIRGO Man - PISCES Woman

"Peter," she asked, trying to speak firmly, "what are your

exact feelings for me?"

"Those of a devoted son, Wendy."

"I thought so," she said, and went and sat by herself at the

extreme corner of the room.

It's probably a little sneaky of astrology to give away some of Neptune's secrets,but if it helps the Virgo man understand his girl Fish better, they'll both be glad of it someday. You see, this woman who behaves most of the time like an angelic little girl who's afraid of being scolded - and is ever so grateful for the smallest kindness, this woman who's so timid and tentative, so uncertain and dependent,needing his strong shoulder to lean against - knows exactly what she's doing when she thus make-believes. (Pisceans are all quite expert at make-believe,you know.) She is Eve personified, Nature's gift to the male sex, wrapped in an appealingly feminine package, tied with delicate pink ribbons.

She had an excellent reason for moving to the extreme corner of the room in reaction to his detached reply to her question. There's always a method to her madness, a clever strategy behind her sensitivity. We'll explain her secret reason for sitting in the corner like Little Miss Muffet later. It's important to first give the unsuspecting Virgo man some idea what's inside this dainty package,tied with the delicate pink ribbons. That way, he'll be better able to cope with her corner craftiness.

Twelve women. That's what he can expect to find when he cautiously (Virgos do everything cautiously) unties those ribbons. This sweet, deceptively submissive lady is a whole harem, all by herself. If he's been memorizing his astrology lessons, like a proper Virgo, he'll remember that her Pisces Sun Sign carries the seeds of all the other eleven signs around the karmic wheel. That's why she's such an exquisitely fine listener (which, by the way, is how she first enticed him). She listens well because she's wise. She knows. She's been there  karmically and since all Pisceans are usually in rather intimate contact with their subconscious selves, she remembers well many things she hasn't even come close to actually experiencing in this present incarnation. So naturally, she's a good listener. Why shouldn't she be? There's not a single thing anyone on this Earth can nervously confide in her or confess to her sympathetic ear that will cause her to so much as flicker an eyelash in surprise. If one of her twelve karmic memories doesn't comprehend, a couple of the other eleven will.

Pisces men are much the same, but since this is a double feminine influence(feminine Sun Sign, feminine ruler, Neptune) the female of the species is definitely trickier than the male in the technique of employing feminine wiles.That's just good, sound astrological common sense. A Virgo man can surely recognize that, after a bit of meditation. He should also be able to see why it is that she confuses his orderly mind and emotions with her chameleon charisma.When she (rarely) becomes aggressive, and unnaturally (for her) spoiled and demanding,shocking him out of his Earth Sign complacency, it's the small sliver of Aries in her. When she's occasionally being stubborn, and won't budge an inch (even more stubborn than he is, and that's pretty stubborn) it's the strain of Taurus in her nature that's causing her mind to be temporarily set in cement,firmly rejecting all his considerable powers of gentle persuasion. Then, when he finally manages to chip away the cement with his quiet Virgo charm, she turns as flighty as a Gemini butterfly, so changeable, she makes swift, wing-footed

Mercury himself (Virgo's foster ruler) seem slow and deliberate. Then she weeps sadly, her tears turning without warning to rich, warm laughter - first snapping at him, then fussing over him like a mother hen - decidedly moody.She's only revealing the Moon Maiden in her soul. (It was likely during her Cancerian phase that he first began thinking of her maternally, so his answer of"a devoted son" to her query about his feelings for her can be excused.)

Also, there was that strange week when she arrogantly expected him to wait on her hand and foot because she'd sprained her ankle, and was too proud to admit the very real pain she was feeling. (She was under her Lioness influence.)Then once, for a whole month, she was simultaneously so humble and courteous,yet so critical of his every word, he felt vaguely as though he was gazing into a mirror of himself. He was. It happened to be the Virgo scene of her twelve-act drama.

When he drove over to show her, with shy pride, the old Model T Ford he'd fixed up like new, after long, weary hours of tinkering with the engine and body work, she couldn't decide if she adored it or hated it. First she wanted to go for a ride in it, then she said it depressed her because it was black, and he should have painted it some cheerful color, like maybe mauve, to match her new dress.(She was feeling a brief breath of her Libra balancing act.) Once when he fell asleep and forgot to call her when he promised he would, she got an unlisted number the next day, and refused to answer her doorbell. She was giving him a small Scorpion sting of retaliation for breaking his word to her. Afterwards,when she forgave him, she gave him such a sensual and lingering goodnight kiss,his knees went weak and he nearly blacked out from the impact of her temporary Scorpio passion.

Then there was the morning she told him abruptly that he needed a haircut so badly, she was thinking of getting him a collar and leash, right in front of his mother and his two best friends. (Just one of the stinging arrows from her karmic bow of Sagittarian truth she shoots only very rarely, when her Archer self emerges.)

For a while after that, she was unaccustomedly reserved and quiet (reminding him of a Capricorn girl he once knew) until finally she told him coldly, without the slightest emotion or sentiment, that she didn't want to get married because she planned to go to Europe to study art, and her career was more important than mere romance - or than him. He was shattered at the hint of icy Saturnine ambition in this normally humble and self-effacing creature he thought he knew so well from having analyzed her so carefully.

Just when he thought things were level again, familiar and comfortable between them, she unexpectedly and suddenly decided to move to a new apartment,within two short days, and forgot to tell him she was moving. She left her new address with the old landlady, but she transposed the street and the number mistakenly, and it took him three months to locate her through her mother,who was in Ohio at the time. When he did locate her, she was dating her yoga teacher. (She was suffering from one of her annual Aquarian lightning bolts of amnesia and eccentricity.)

Eventually - and also essentially - she's her normal, sweet Piscean self. It's just that she has those moments, in twelve varieties. But they're only moments.Most of the time, she's the dearest, most sympathetic, calm and unruffled lady this side of Heaven. Sentimental and sensitive. Serene and dependable.Still, it's best that the Virgo man who loves her knows how many of her he's measuring to see if she fits his idea of a lifelong mate.

Now, would you like to know why she scurried over to the extreme corner of the room after she asked him what his exact feelings for her were, and was disappointed in his answer? (Re: Peter Pan verse at the beginning of this section.)Because she was hurt, and went to the corner to cry with a spider? No. Because she was angry, therefore went to the corner to pout and eat some curds and whey, without offering him a bite? Indeed not. She went to the extreme corner of the room. Remember, I told you she's wise. She either knew consciously or sensed (same thing to Pisces) about the powerful Sun Sign polarity between them - that their natal Suns were opposed at birth. She knows what that means. After a while, a polarity becomes too magnetic to resist. (Check bar magnet illustration in another portion of this chapter.) So, you see, she knew very well it wouldn't take more than a few minutes for the magnetism of their astrological "opposition" to draw them together, and if she placed herself physically in exact or extreme opposition to him - well, things would become "physical"even quicker - and he'd be sure to change his answer to something a little heavier than "a devoted son". She was aware that his actions would soon speak for him and clearly cancel that statement as false. Virgo men tend to rise very early in the morning by nature, but he'll have to rise very early indeed to stay ahead of the girl Fish.

She was right, of course. Her Neptune strategy worked perfectly. As smooth as satin, as pink as ribbons. Within ten (rather silent and uncomfortable)minutes, he behaved in a surprisingly impulsive way (for a Virgo), rushed across the room, swept her into his arms (not with a broom, that was only a metaphor)and actually wept openly, declaring he didn't feel at all like "a devoted son" to her, but more like Alexander the Great, burning to conquer the world the mysterious world of her. Then, wonder of wonders, he actually proposed marriage to his blushing, once again feminine and submissive girl Fish with the dreamy Neptunian eyes.

Earth and Water Signs nearly always blend sexually in sheer ecstasy, very naturally. The passion between these two is seldom less than deep, enriching their love, in faithful imitation of Nature's own comforting blend of earth and water. She feels safe in his arms, and he feels a new awareness through their lovemaking. Often, a Virgo man loses all his normal self-control with the Pisces girl who's won his heart, and that's the best thing that could happen to him. As for her, she's fulfilled by just the knowing of the peace she brings to him. For he was a man desperately haunted with loneliness until he learned what intensity his imprisoned feelings could contain when he released them with a woman he could trust not to bruise his vulnerability - never to offend his secret image of the purity of sex. Perhaps Virgo and Pisces love so completely because they sense their dreams are warm and safe with each other. And so their bodies respond freely, with a wisdom of their own, to the intimate and the familiar.There shouldn't be many bumpy spots in their 7-7 relationship. He's so clever and she's so wise (there's a dram of difference) that if they really try, they can flatten them into smoothness. They're both Mutable, so it will be easy for them to talk over their problems, and that's always a huge help. She flirts. There's no getting around it, she flirts. She's been doing it since she was six. Men find her magnetically attractive, and she can't help responding affectionately. But he should beware of over-analyzing the catholic compassion and listening ear she gives so freely to friends of both sexes as disloyalty or unfaithfulness. It isn't,and it won't be, unless he should make it so by continually pouting in resentment,thereby causing it to materialize. (That which we fear surely comes upon us.) Nor should she cause him unnecessary tension and worry over her casual attitude about money. She might try a little harder to balance her checkbook,and stop giving away all the cash they saved for their vacation to the first person she thinks might need it. On the other hand, he shouldn't excessively stifle her generous impulses because of his own obsession with thrift, make a genuine effort to be looser, with both his finances and his feelings.

This woman can't remain in love with a man who's stingy, with either his cash or his emotions. She can't respect or warm up to a tight fist, a tight bank balance or an uptight personality. It will gradually turn her frigid (and it can sadly drive some Neptunians to drink, from sheer depression and frustration).If he wants to keep all twelve of her happy, he'll have to learn to relax, take it easy, stop criticizing her when she's trying to please him, be more giving and natural. As for the girl Fish, she's simply going to have to stop hiding his favorite magazines and sweaters behind the davenport when

company comes, mismating his socks and forgetting to set his alarms.

GEMINI Woman - PISCES Man

If you shut your eyes and are a lucky one, you may see at

times a shapeless pool of lovely pale colours, suspended in

the darkness.

There has never been a Fish who was not slightly uncertain about where he stood with the Gemini woman he loves. She will give him plenty of occasions to be jealous, or what passes for jealousy with Pisceans, which is a rather mild form of it, to be sure.

But it won't do him a bit of good, because there's nothing to be done about the apparent fickleness of the Twins. (I'm assuming you know by now that every Gemini girl is two-women-in-one. She began flirting when she was in the bassinet or being pushed in her buggy, blowing kisses to strangers, grinning at anyone who noticed her, capturing hearts with her bright, twinkling star-eyes.)

This female will never really grow up. She's like a mischievous, charming little girl, who cries when she's scolded, laughs merrily when she's pleased,coaxes and teases and wheedles until she gets her own way - and getting her own way with a Pisces man isn't too difficult. He's essentially a gentle soul, affectionate and tolerant, not terribly demanding. Of course, Pisceans can have their irritable, cranky spells, becoming regular crosspatches when they've been imposed on once too often. But most of the time he's willing to try his best to answer her needs. He may get confused when her needs, along with her wishes and dreams, keep changing, but he'll keep right on trying. For that matter,  he'snot exactly a tower of stability himself. Neither of these two were blessed with much of the stuff at birth. The Fish becomes quickly restless after long periodsof fighting the seaweed of obstacles and  delays, and as for her - well, Gemini women possess only a thimbleful of patience, if that much. Needless to say, this will constitute one of the frequent snarls in the smoothness of this 4-10 Sun Sign Pattern relationship. Patience is the main ingredient called for in any recipe for happiness and harmony.

The eyes of a Pisces man have the look of being lost. Gemini eyes have the look of searching for something about to be found. With Pisces, Aquarius, Scorpio and Gemini - all four Sun Signs - the pattern of the personality and the stamp of the soul is in the eyes.

Her mind is like a house of glass from which she gazes out on life, with a three-dimensional view of every direction her longings may take. Such multiple choice causes many manifestations in the outward personality, but mostly moodiness. The moods of Mercury-ruled Gemini are not the same as the deeper oceans of the Neptune moods of Pisces. They are lightning fast, like quicksilver, coming upon her as unpredictably as a change in the wind.

The mind of the Fish is like a house of many windows too, but with no glass panes, no shutters or blinds to protect him from the seasons - or from her moods. A Pisces man is vulnerable and sensitive, not only to the treatment he receives from others, but to the feelings and emotions of those near him, absorbing their own troubles and symptoms in his own mind and body. So you can see that a relationship with the changeable, frequently troubled Gemini girl, who sometimes projects two emotions simultaneously, may at times be somewhatshattering to the Neptune-ruled male.

This woman was born sparking both mental and physical energy like shock waves. Pisces was born tired. It's little wonder that the Fish is a trifle spiritually fatigued, considering all he's seen throughout so many incarnations . . . all the power and the glory, the ugly and the beautiful, the horrifyingly unspeakable and the ecstatically indescribable. It's exhausting. Especially when you're tempted, in daydreams, to compare it to the present drab and mundane existence.That much at least his Gemini woman will understand. His need to see the world through soft-tinted glass strikes an echoing chord in her own heart.She, too, would like things to be different, lovelier. But her mercurial nature doesn't shrink from coldly and clearly analyzing things as they are, while she's dreaming of how she'd like them to be - whereas Pisces never wants to admit the awful truth of anything. Her constant tearing apart the fabric of Life to see how it might be more acceptably put back together again alarms him. When she begins this analytical process with love, which Pisces knows deeply cannot be analyzed,  lest its delicacy be shattered, it signals the beginning of trouble in River City - Philadelphia, Tulsa, Beverly Hills, Pittsburgh, Belpre, Parkesburg,Denver, Coshocton - or wherever. Gemini-Pisces couples tend to change residence more frequently than any other Sun Sign combination (except Gemini- Sag, double Gemini or double Sag). Actually, this is a decided plus factor,because the excitement of moving doesn't leave as much time for petty squabbles.

Like all 4-10 Sun Sign Patterns, Gemini and Pisces must cope with the vibration of tension. Their natures are so totally different,their motives inexplicable to one another most of the time. Hurtful situations involving relatives, the parents of one or the other, or their individual careers may be the stage for the explosions of disagreement. With a harmonious exchange of the Sun and Moon in their nativities (or conjoined Moons) threads of sympathy will draw them closer together. Without such planetary first aid, each will suffer many wounds, which could take a long time to heal.

She's capable of locking him out of the house all night if he stays too long gabbing with a neighbor. Then he's capable of muttering, "Who needs it?" and drowning his troubles at the corner saloon, which causes her to lock him out of the house again - which causes him to escape into John Barleycorn again which causes her to and so on. The one thing a Pisces man cannot bear for long is a barrage of criticism, sarcasm and accusation, and his Gemini woman's negative twin excels in the art of satirical invective. Her angry torrents of words and clever use of subtle nuance can rain on the sensitive soul of the Fish like sharp hailstones of hurt. On the other hand, one thing a Gemini woman cannot stand is silence - or being left alone with no audience - and one thing in which Pisces excels is escape from unpleasant scenes. Sometimes you'd swear these Neptune people have literally mastered the art of de-materialization.Poof! They're gone! Just like that. Then she's left by herself. Well, not quite by herself. She can always fight it out with her other half - her ever present Twin, who surely comprehends her need to express her torments more than does the Fish, who can't see for the life of him why anyone should want to waste so much time in futile verbal contests. Pisces tends instinctively to feel his way through trouble. Gemini inclines to talk it away. Even though they may  truly love each other, these two sometimes seem like total strangers attempting to communicate with word and sign language, scrambled like a game of anagrams with half the letters missing. Gemini talks - and Pisces won't always listen. Pisces weeps - and Gemini doesn't always sympathize. Yet they both need desperately to be accepted and understood, for neither of them understand themselves. They're involved in a mutual quest for self-identity, each born under the influence of duality, like four people living under one roof, two visibly - the other two locked up inside, trying to escape and make themselves known.

Their sexual adjustment will not be made without effort, although, assuming a positive Sun-Moon aspect or other favorable planetary exchanges in their horoscopes, he can probably satisfy her need not to be smothered or overly possessed,and she can probably provide the variety of affectionate expression he must either have - or become bored. Neither Gemini nor Pisces requires flaming passion for lovemaking to bring them the contentment of true intimacy, and both are capable of adapting instantly to the other's ephemeral whims and wishes.Yet a real depth of physical blending may be missing in their union. Is it because love alone is never enough to satisfy the nameless longings of either Pisces or Gemini? Or is it because Air and Water Signs seldom feel quite the same overpowering urge for sexual consummation of their initial mental and emotional affinity as do Earth and Fire Signs?

Whatever the reason, these two never find it easy to become "one flesh," or to sexually "know one another," in the biblical sense. An ideal man-woman Oneness may not be achieved without unselfishness, a quality as necessary in sex as in other aspects of love and friendship. While Pisces usually comprehends this fully, the more childlike Gemini woman sometimes does not. Their intimate moments are likely to be dictated according to her impulsive desires,rather than in answer to their mutual instincts. If she allows him to teach her by example the meaning of unselfish giving - physically as well as mentally and emotionally - their physical closeness will become a repeated renewal of their love, followed by a deeper communion than before, because of an exchanging of their inner natures, making him more spontaneous, like her - and her more tranquil, like him.

As I've said, they are similar in some of their attitudes. They both prefer unlisted phone numbers, privacy and freedom - both of them usually enjoy poetry,music, art or dancing. And they each intensely dislike routine. Boredom is a mutual enemy. Not so fortunately, however, they're also both  inclined to exaggerate the truth, all the way from tiny white lies to premeditated deception always rationalized away by myriad excuses. Frequently, when Gemini accuses Pisces of distorting the truth (or vice-versa) it's the pot calling the kettle black.A Gemini woman finds Life and Love impossible to comprehend with the senses alone. Her ruler, Mercury, demands that she use her intellect in solving the puzzle. Maybe she could figure it all out if someone would really-truly listen to her doubts and despairs, her ecstasies and her ideas. A Pisces man can do this for her if he will - patiently and sympathetically hearing her out, waiting for her to complete her convoluted circles of reasoning and finally locate the right turn in the road toward happiness. After a while, she'll take his hand as they walk along together, and his eyes won't look so lost anymore. How can a man be lost when there are not just one but two charming, delightful feminine companions beside him? Being in love with Twins may be disturbing and perplexing at times, but no one ever said it was humdrum.

To the Pisces man, love is just another dream, in which he, the dreamer,joyfully controls the world he's created in his imagination through his intuitive sense perceptions colored with muted pastels, fragile and changeable.The constantly expressed dissatisfactions of his Gemini lady often tear great rents in his dream - and he tries to patch it, make it like new again. But dreams are not easily mended, once they've been torn apart. They are made of such misty material.

If she will speak softly, move gently . . . slowly . . . she may enter his dream world with him, and see love the way he does - as a thing of calm and beauty.All it takes is putting herself, Gemini-wise, in his place now and then, which will eventually lead her straight into his heart - the very haven she's so long been searching for and thought she'd never find that magical garden where roses grow without the need for protective thorns.
