The three decans of Gemini

The three decans of Gemini are the Eight of Swords, the Nine of Swords and the Ten of Swords. Born early in the sign, you might read the Eight of Swords: you feel stuck, though your options may be more open than they seem. Mid-sign may suit the Nine of Swords, where worry looms large and sharing it helps. Late in the sign, the Ten of Swords marks a painful chapter ending, with the way forward ahead of you.

Strengths

You are curious, quick and good with people. You can explain an idea in many ways, and you adapt easily. Others enjoy your wit and your interest in them.

Challenges

A busy mind can spin into worry, and the choice of The Lovers can become indecision. Write your thoughts down, then pick one thing to act on.

In love

In love you want conversation, humour and a partner who keeps you interested. The Lovers ask for honesty about what you value. Let yourself be known as well as entertaining.

At work

You shine in work that mixes variety, communication and learning. Writing, teaching, sales and design are common fits, though any role with fresh problems can work. Finish one task before you open the next.

Advice from the cards

When your thoughts race, slow down and speak to one person you trust. A shared worry is often lighter.
