You are ruled by Mercury, planet of communication, as is Air sign Gemini. but you use this gift differently as an Earth sign. Mercury grounds your natural inquisitiveness, bringing a logic to it that makes you as full of useful facts as a library. Being a Mutable sign helps you adapt to circumstances. Health is a keen interest for you, although you may over-obsess about illness, fitness and diet. You aim to do everything just right, which is an admirable trait but can put pressure on your nerves. That said you are full of common sense and great in a crisis, and there is no-one more proficient at keeping a place spick and span, as purity and cleanliness are symbolised by your sign. At work you blossom in a supportive role and would make an excellent teacher or might enjoy caring for animals. In love you may lack self-confidence and wonder what others see in you as you overlook your own charms. Learn to relax and stop worrying so much.
