“Art is the perpetual motion of illusion. The highest purpose of art is to inspire. What else can you do? What else can you do for anyone but inspire them?”
— Bob Dylan

If Your Birthday is May 24
(The Day of the Magnifier) | Gemini Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You already know that your lively mind needs quality stimulation to stay sharp. So choose your metaphorical ‘brain food’ — the media you imbibe and the conversations you cultivate — carefully. But pay attention to what you put in your body, too; after all, when you feed your body well, you’re also feeding your brain. Speaking of this body-brain connection: what or who gets you dancing? If you meet that person today, consider taking their lead. You’d be surprised what insights pop up after getting your groove on.

If you feel like all the change, chaos and upheaval is happening around you and to you, that’s an important signal to step back into your power. One way to do that is by sitting down and strategizing: What can you contribute to an evolving situation? What is standing in your way? Who can you enlist for help? How can you break things down into steps? Some people respond to pressure by withdrawing into denial; others say “to hell with it!” and go charging in — or off. Today a square between Pallas in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn suggests that you take the reins, but do so with a plan. Remember that diplomacy can always be invited to the proceedings — and is often the best place to start. In the love and partnership department: if traditional relationship needs, impulsive passion, and emotions around sex all seem to be at odds, it’s up to you to find a point of balance. Remember that what’s fair to all involved is not necessarily the same as getting your own way in the short term.
