Gemini: Strength (4 of Pentacles)

5/22 – 6/21 In your attempt to establish yourself in the world, you’ve depended upon the strength of your character to survive. It’s time to bring forward and utilize some less-refined qualities. You are a fusion of many different aspects, none of which are wholly good or bad. However, choosing to adopt one over the others banishes important parts of yourself. Maintaining the status quo may be important, but it can easily breed complacency and deprive you of a dynamic life. Loosen your hold and give in a bit to the pressure; at least then you can mindfully unleash some pent up passion.
