Gemini

May 21-June 20

GeminiTraits: Friendly, adaptable, affectionate, nervous and inconsistent.

Jupiter will bring blessings, opportunities and hot dates, but this also means you should spend sparingly. All year, you will want to have more of everything, so make wise choices, especially when a breathtaking moment steals your heart in June. You are adventurous enough to accept any sushi challenge, and as someone who is constantly on the go, you can create magical meals using what you have on hand in the freezer and pantry.

Eat this: Fresh vegetables and fruits, tapas and meze-style spreads.

Not this: Be careful about the quantity and calories consumed. You might want to rethink the bowls of ice cream you have every night.
