Many software engineers have enjoyed The Pragmatic Programmer, a book that helps them develop and refine their code. One popular technique the book offers is “rubber duck deprogramming.” Programmers place a toy rubber duck in front of them, and describe to it the problems they're having. As they explain each line of code to their very good listener, they may discover what's amiss. I recommend a similar approach to you as you embark on metaphorically debugging your own program, Gemini. If a rubber duck isn't available, call on your favorite statue or stuffed animal, or even a photo of a catalytic teacher or relative or spirit.

DEAR READERS: I get emails from readers who wonder how I earn a living. "For as long as I can remember, you've been giving away your horoscopes online for free," said Lannie from Austin. "How do you do it? Are you independently wealthy?"

The answer is no, I'm not independently wealthy. I earn some money by syndicating my horoscopes in newspapers and by selling the books I've published. I also produce two other batches of horoscopes that are for sale: my weekly EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPES and my daily TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES..

If you'd like to support my ability to freely offer the FREE WILL ASTROLOGY horoscopes you read here, please consider buying those other two horoscopes. Here's how you do it:

Go here. Register or log in. On the new page, you have two choices: Expanded Audio Horoscopes or Daily Text Message Horoscopes.

If you have any questions about how to access them, write to my tech support team at freewillcs@gmail.com
