Daily Horoscope: Gemini

Suffering through an older relative's long-winded lecture is a small price to pay for the benefits that lie in store.

A rival tosses you a bone in the form of an opportunity or introduction. Should you take it? Yes. Better to be in the game than out of it.

It's the piece of the puzzle that doesn't fit that gets you to experiment with different solutions. Keep going and things will snap into place.

Don't play dumb to win favor because people will eventually discover how smart you are. Keeping your brilliance a secret would be like a zebra apologizing for its stripes.

Having trouble telling right from wrong? Now's a good time to give a little whistle and to let your conscience be your guide.

A "no" turns to a "maybe" and that's something to hope for. Ease up on the campaign and let that person get back to you.

Confront the people who have been making your life hell. Let the evidence - like timesheets and emails - speak for itself. They'll see the light.

Unearthing an inconsistency leads to doubting two friends. Different versions or deliberate deception? Sit them down together so you can get their stories straight.

Recent life-changing experiences have added depth and dimension. It doesn't matter if others appreciate this as long as you do.

"Budget" is your cosmic mantra. But finances shouldn't be too tight or you cut off circulation. Think along the lines of relaxed fit.
