ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I just lost my best girl friend, and she won’t tell me why. She’s a Leo. I think she thinks her boyfriend likes me. It was obvious to me a few times that he was flirting me, but I didn’t think much of it until my friend totally flipped out. I think she’s overreacting, but I enjoy being her friend. What should I do? I’m a Gemini."
Geminis and Leos are usually very compatible, but based on your chart, you do have a tendency to overpower Leos, for your moon is in that sign. You are very attracted to and by Leos. However, if the Leo is in a superior position (as your friend probably felt she was in regard to her boyfriend), and you don’t properly pay this proud Lion homage, then you are in trouble. If you really want to heal the friendship, don’t tell her directly that you think this break ha to do with her boyfriend. Instead, blame it on something else, and humble yourself in her eyes. Leos, like your friend, are more comfortable with healing their broken egos than dealing with the truth. Wait until your friend and her flirtatious boyfriend break up, which is probably inevitable, and approach her again with a new offer of friendship.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Keanu Reeves is a Virgo actor with many Cancer influences in his chart. The stars suggest he’s tough to get to know, and he doesn’t let many people get closes to him. However, those on the inner circle know him as a tenderhearted sweetie and feel as thought it’s their job to protect him. It’s ironic, therefore, that he often plays the role of the hero who must save the world for everyone else!
