Gemini Dog

Everyone who meets you is struck by the same essential quality: your clear-eyed realism. This isn't ordinary common sense -- it's the kind of unflinching clarity that leaves little room for sentiment, which can sometimes tip into an inability to get excited or to trust. On the plus side, you have tremendous practical instincts that keep you firmly rooted, leaving no space for fantasy or delusion.

Your sense of responsibility is rock-solid -- people can always count on you. You're also ambitious, with real tenacity and staying power. You despise sloppiness, vagueness, and half-finished work because you want everything to be clean and precise.

Your rigorous logic serves you extremely well in your career. You have a talent for wearing down opponents and pouncing on the smallest opening. A true workaholic, you keep pushing hard well into your later years -- and it's actually in the second half of your life that you achieve your greatest success. Your patience and diplomatic instincts are impressive. Fields like science and medicine can bring you real wealth.

You tend to sacrifice everything for professional or social achievement while giving very little weight to your emotional happiness. It would do you a world of good to let more joy and laughter into your personal life.
