Daily Horoscope: Gemini

It takes a while to change people's minds, so don't give up. Never underestimate your powers of persuasion.

Certain parties are dropping hints that are meant to be picked up. Don't keep them waiting. Clue in!

You could go far on your own steam, however you could go even further by letting a mentor show you how to hone your skills.

You love exploring tangents as much as anyone else, but today's discussions are just too far out there. You need to get the dialogue back on course.

Everyone's contrary for contrary's sake with Mercury at odds with Mars, but if you say the opposite of what you mean you may find that you get somewhere.

The more you get to know someone, the more you realize that this person's a basket case. Backtrack now and s/he probably won't notice.

If you throw a hissy fit every time someone asks a favor then you've got a problem. Rethink the put-upon signals you're putting out.

Don't let a rival know that s/he got under your skin. Be cool. The best way to win a contest is to look like you're not competing.

You'll want to choose your commitments carefully this week. People are clamoring for your attention and you don't want your free time gobbled up.

Celebrate your breakthrough. You went above and beyond the call of duty and deserve to bask in the afterglow.
