Dear Gemini Husband

Gemini season is upon us. It is a time for all of those outgoing, quirky, fun-loving May 21st - June 21st babies to live their best lives.

Well, except for my dear husband. Unfortunately for him, he's still married to a Capricorn.

So, what exactly does the next month look like for a Gemini who has vowed to spend the rest of his days with, potentially, the most incompatible mate in the cosmos?

Life

There's so much on your to-do list! Your list of projects is endless, and you are so excited to dive in head-first and get started. You might want to spend the next weekend working on that old bike that's in need of a little TLC, or maybe you might want to get started on that engine rebuild you've been putting off for a while. Your brain is buzzing away, thinking of all the ways you can put your energy to use this month. Perhaps a spontaneous camping trip will take your fancy, or you might prefer to jump on the bike for an unplanned road trip and see where you end up! You don't need to make any decisions right now though, see how you feel on the day. Your impulsive side will relish in anticipation and excitement.

That is, of course, until you let your wife in on your grand plans (or lack thereof), and she swiftly hands you the actual to-do list. Sorry mate, your wife is a Capricorn.

Love

This is the perfect month for a spontaneous getaway with your significant other. Why not throw caution to the wind and book a mystery deal with your local travel agent? With your carefree spirit and adventurous nature, you'll be sure to make the most of whatever comes your way. Be adventurous! Go to new places, try new things. Romance is sure to blossom. After all, variety is the spice of life. Don’t commit yourself to one single possibility; that would be boring. What about a thrill-seeking date at the local theme park? Or book those skydiving lessons you’ve been thinking about. After all, nothing says “I love you” like throwing yourself out of a plane together.

Except if your wife is a Capricorn. If you haven’t given her exact details of your romantic intentions and a sufficient window to plan and organise herself, her inner control freak will take over, and any chance of romance will die a slow, painful death. And she is never going to jump out of a plane. Never.

Finances

You work hard for your money, so treat yourself. After all, you can’t take it with you when you go. Invite your friends out to the pub, get crazy; drinks are on you! So, you might run a little short this month. It’s all part of the thrill of living on the edge. Go buy that mountain bike you’ve been eyeing off. It doesn’t matter that it’s winter and dark by the time you get home from work. That $1800 isn’t going to spend itself, and with a good quality headlamp attached to your helmet, the sky’s the limit!

Only, it’s payday, and your wife has already anticipated your balance hitting the account and allocated the funds to their designated, responsible uses. Like the mortgage… But she’s kindly left you a little spending cash. If you save it, you should have that mountain bike in about 18 months. P.S. Your wife is still a Capricorn.

Work

All of your hard work will finally start to pay off this month, with a promotion on the cards. You’ve been in your element for some time now. Your enthusiasm and innovative nature, along with your strong work ethic, have been recognised by your peers and your superiors, and they see your value. You will have the freedom to challenge yourself and keep multiple plates spinning simultaneously, which suits your inquisitiveness and adaptability. Put those persuasive skills to good use when negotiating your new terms. You’re an asset to your company, don’t let them forget it.

Your responsible Capricorn wife is proud. You should be too, but don’t be sure not to let the tickets fly off when you step out in the wind. After all, proud wife or not, she’s still a Capricorn.

Family & Friends

Family is the most important thing to you, Gemini. So, make sure to include them in your plans and make spending time with them your priority. Try not to flake out on your friends too much this month, they know how busy you are and how many things you like to try and jam into one weekend, but a quiet beer with a few good mates will fill your social cup. Take the kids to the park, ride a bike, get outdoors and spend time in nature. Use your adventurous side to influence the people you love by creating memorable experiences. Don’t forget to slow down while you’re busy being busy. Commit these times to memory; they’re precious and finite.

Your wife appreciates your commitment to your friends and family but will give you extra points if at least one of these activities involves you and the kids getting out of the house so she can have a full hour to herself because she is, of course, still a Capricorn.

General Outlook

As it turns out, your Gemini season won’t be all bad. Your Capricorn wife can be a bit of an overly responsible control freak at times, but she won’t rain on your parade too heavily. It seems your opposite traits provide a nice balance on the life scale. Even if your Gemini-Capricorn relationship doesn’t typically rate high on the compatibility scale, it’s a good thing that you don’t leave it all to the stars. Your adventurous nature and need to explore will give her the time and space she needs. In turn, her responsible and loyal nature will keep you from being too reckless while knowing that she has your back, even when you drive her up the wall.
