ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "A Gemini born in 1974, Im a singer/songwriter going through the ups and downs of the music business. I know that music is my calling, but I havent found that big break yet, and sometimes, I wonder if it will be in this lifetime. What do the stars say?"
Youre gifted, attractive and bright, dear Gemini. Youre an excellent networker, too, unafraid of extending yourself and finding out how to take the next step. What you need to work on is your tenacity. Sometimes, you rely too heavily on your natural gifts instead of working hard to refine them so that you shine as the very best around. Practice daily, and sing in public once a week. Work with a video camera when youre alone so that you can really see how youre being perceived by others. And when youre not getting the results you want, ask how you can do it better or what you need to work on. Instead of waiting for your big break, work on carving out a niche for yourself. Find people who need wonderful singers, and give them what they need. By giving your talent instead of worrying about making it, youll start feeling like a success.
