Every story has at least two sides, two tellings, two meanings braided together. In these first days of Gemini season, the Twins highlight that dual awareness, the space where a single event can be understood from multiple angles. A sun-Neptune sextile adds prismatic color: the truth is faceted, each surface catching a different light.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe it's not so helpful to deny what you are interested in, especially when you have so many choices about how to respond. You can acknowledge what gets your attention without making any subsequent moves.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The teacher becomes the student, then becomes the teacher again. There really is no status in this learning process. Truly educational exchanges raise every mind. You'll experience a shared elevation where everything is clearer, and all are more capable than before.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You like people, and they feel it. They also sense that you don't worry at all about what they think of you, which is an irresistible quality. You'll proceed with confidence and turn strangers into friends and fans.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your ruling luminary does command oceans to swell, and your own magnetism follows the trend today. The trick you both share? You never show everything. Even when full, you keep a whole side of yourself for yourself. Enjoy your charismatic power today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Tears are agents of healing. Still, you'd rather work on building up your happiness than invite the medicine of a good cry. Today the secret is fresh air, exercise and helping other people out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Love is selfless. It's wanting what's best for the other person even if it doesn't fit into your idea of them or your idea of the relationship. You'll encourage a loved one along their individual path to happiness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Who takes care of you best? Sometimes that's you, and other times it feels like you have too much else going on to be bothered with it. Of course, it's very important to put your own care first. Then the rest will fall into place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It's amazing how deeply you can connect on easy-breezy and frictionless topics. Avoid heavy, dense and potentially unrelatable fodder. If you must go there, saying about 10% of what you could is a solid instinct.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Problems that can't be solved with the current logistical configuration can be solved with a bit more creativity. Assess the bare facts of the issue. Once you have that clarity, let your imagination take it from there.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don't need to know how everything works to get in there and help the process. Your mere presence is enough to help a situation, so you show up ready to help and that's more than enough.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Mostly, you keep your hand on the controls and effectively do what you command yourself to do. But not always — that would be an unreasonable thing to expect of yourself or of any human.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Staying buoyant on the tides of life requires waterproofing. Anything that might wear down or eat away at the fiber of your ship is to be avoided. What sinks a ship is not the water that's outside, it's the water that gets in.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 24). It's your Year of Unrealistic Thinking. A better tomorrow rides in on your wild hopes. What's real now would have been unfathomable 100 years ago, and you'll be a part of the next wave. More highlights: Your analytical mind will solve problems in ways that lift your people and make money, too. There's an odd attraction that brings much joy. Ease from an upgrade you touch every day. Cancer and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 18, 11, 5 and 1.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Bob Dylan journeys through his eighth decade much in the same way he has for most of them — on the "Never Ending Tour." The Poet Laureate of Rock 'n' Roll and winner of Nobel and Pulitzer prizes embodies the wit, artistic agility and delicious mischief of his mercurial sign. Dylan's natal Mercury and Venus are also in Gemini. Gemini spirit defies definition, dances around dichotomy and masters mystery.
