As a typical Gemini, I really don’t like change. I thrive
off the familiar, the regular and the expected. Anything else and I feel as

adventure?
I’ve always thought that if there’s something you really

go somewhere completely new, risking that it could be completely awful? I do
think that there is something comforting in the familiar; you know how it works

Up until now I’ve been a firm believer in the power of the
familiar, or perhaps that is just the complacent side of me… But lately I’ve
