Born at this point in Gemini season
Born on June 6, this person arrives in the middle of Gemini, when quick curiosity has started turning into real conversations and unfinished projects. They like to hear several sides before choosing one, and two good plans can pull at them at the same time. Friends see them as easy company, yet they can wish someone would ask what they actually think. Picking one thread and saying which one it is gives that restless mind a rest.
Interpretation, not prediction.
