Your SmartScope for November 2009:
Mosquitoes. No one really likes them. They buzz in your ear, bite
you, and the bite itches for days. They don't usually hurt any more
than that, but you just can't stop thinking about them!
Life is like mosquitoes sometimes. Little things just bug you
and take over your life! They keep you from thinking about stuff you
really care about. They make it so you can't enjoy the things you want
to be doing.
The nice thing about little things is that they go away after a while,
especially if you let them go and try not to fight them. Bad, annoying,
frustrating things will happen in life. Sometimes it's best not to
worry about it and let them go away on their own.
When you get tripped up by little annoying things this month, rise
to the challenge. Don't pick at the situation and make it worse. Stay
calm and don't let the irritation keep you from being happy. What doesn't
kill you only makes you stronger! |
About You, Gemini:
The Myth: According to Greek legend, Gemini (which means "the twins") represents Kastor and Polydeukes, twin brothers who shared the same mother but had different fathers. Polydeukes was said to be the son of Zeus - the King of the Gods - and thus, he was immortal and would live forever. Kastor was not, however. When Kastor died, Polydeukes asked Zeus to keep them together, and Zeus turned them into the constellation we call Gemini.
Cool Fact: Kastor and Polydeukes aren't only remembered in the sky - they're also immortalized here on Earth. Around the world, in four different mountain ranges there are four sets of twin peaks that are named Castor and Pollux (Kastor and Polydeukes' Roman names).
As a Gemini, you might be... active, talkative, playful and curious
Careers a Gemini might like: Actress, architect, teacher, archaeologist, journalist, politician, lawyer

Famous Female Gemini:
Alicia Boole Stott (June 8, 1860 - December 17, 1940) was an Irish mathematician. She is said to have had a grasp on four-dimensional geometry from a young age. She went on to make important breakthroughs in the field of geometry, including making models of her theories and coining the term "polytrope." Later on, she decided to contact another important mathematician, Pieter Schoute, about their shared interests. He was impressed with her work and came to England to collaborate. Schoute encouraged her to publish her findings, which she did, eventually earning an honorary PhD from the University of Groningen. She continued to develop important ideas in mathematics even late in life.
