Who you are

You carry a map of people in your head. Who is looking for work, who just moved, who has the cousin with the van. Someone mentions a problem and you have already matched it to a person before they finish the sentence. Half the useful things that happen around you happen because of a text you sent and forgot about.

You hear a great deal and repeat very little. People tell you things in the first month that they have not told friends of ten years, partly because you do not react much. That restraint is the whole engine. The moment you use what you know to make yourself look important, the flow stops, and you know it.

Your gifts

• Memory for people. You remember what someone needed six months ago and who has it now.
• Discretion. You hold what you are told without leaking it, even when repeating it would win you the conversation.
• Speed. You can hold three threads at once and drop none of them.

Your shadow

You are so used to being the link that you forget to be the person. Everyone knows you and few people know anything about you, which suits you until a bad month arrives and you find you have no one to call. There is vanity in it too. Being needed by everybody is a quiet way of never having to depend on anybody.

Your soul work

Use the map for people who have no map. The ones with no contacts, no uncle in the business, no way in. Then let somebody do the same for you. Ask for help out loud, once, from a person who would be glad to give it. It will feel worse than it is.

Days you get along with

Your sign

The third sign carries the gift of curiosity and the burden of its own quickness. Gemini is the zodiac learning to speak, and learning to land.

Someone else

Look up another birthday

Check a friend's day, or your partner's, and send it to them.
