It can be hard to keep track of what's trending and ending, especially when a new year starts. It's even more challenging to discern which trends are right for you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Mental Health as a Priority
It's become more acceptable to talk about your mental health in recent years, but the topic of mental health became an everyday discussion when the pandemic hit. We collectively experienced stress, panic, despair, depression and isolation. It brought an awareness that, even if you don't struggle with mental health problems or mental illness, we all need to prioritize mental health. While every zodiac sign will benefit from this, Geminis need a reminder to take care of their mental health. Geminis are naturally nervous and deal with racing minds. Geminis are very analytical with their thoughts and like to compartmentalize, but it's important to feel your emotions and find tools to help your anxiety.
