Your 2003 horoscope: Gemini

The year begins with some baffling events, but you use them as opportunities to learn and grow. You're ready for a new program, but everyone else is still watching reruns! After January 22nd, you integrate divergent elements into a solid whole. You're more accepting and acceptable. You're a breath of fresh air in any social situation. By the end of February, however, you want to be sitting on the sidelines, happily content. Use this down time to take care of your personal business: The stacks have grown tall with neglect.

The Spring cleaning bug bites hard in late March and early April. You throw out whatever you aren't using and start over again. Although you're known for your verbal skills, after the 3rd you need direct experiences. By the 26th you're relating to reality in a new, safe and beneficial way. A new phase of awareness begins after May 15th, sweeping you back into the mainstream. When the Sun finally enters your Sign, its influence brings logic and passion, art and industry and many other seeming opposites to a state of harmony in your life for the rest of this season.

Late in June, decisions are based on assumptions that flow from your desires. This system works as long as everyone agrees with it. After July 24th, solos turn into ensembles. Community brings its rewards as many people get their opportunity to shine. This level of sharing becomes a mixed blessing in the last week of August. Critical thinking displaces warm fuzziness and you're pulled along by a deep urge to get involved with something more challenging.

After September 24th, you're back in your element. You have some outrageous, good, clean fun with those that you love. Think the best of others even if they seem to be fair-weather friends by Halloween. After November 8th, you get a taste of the vindication you felt back in February when heads swivel in your direction. A new restlessness emerges after the 23rd. If you spend the holiday season traveling, constant variety may grow old after December 17th. Find your roots and settle in for the Winter.
