About this challenge
Gemini: Latin for "twins," is the third astrological sign in the zodiac, originating from the constellation of Gemini. A positive, mutable sign, if you were born May 21 to June 21, your ruling planet is Mercury, and you're likely super-fast, super-smart, super-adaptable, and super-curious. Intellectually inclined, these quick-witted twins can talk to anyone about anything. Geminis are an air sign and possess a warm, generous nature. ðŸ‘
To kick off Gemini season, write Gemini's horoscope and create a short forecast for those born under this sign. Like in a newspaper or your favorite magazine, write about their romantic future, celebrity twin flame, zodiac compatibility, personality traits, financial predictions, and everything in between! Does Gemini's future look bright? What lies ahead, and what should Geminis look out for? Let your creative visions guide your projections - it's totally up to you! May the cosmos be ever in your favor. ✨

A Transparent Look at Vocal Challenges and Top Stories
Almost three years ago, we shared a resource article that served as a place for people to suggest new challenge prompts. We thought it would be a good idea to refresh that thread, and take the opportunity to answer a few common questions about top stories, how challenges are judged and how submissions are reviewed.

A System That Isn’t Working Challenge Winners
Systems promise order. They organize behavior, distribute opportunity, and suggest that if everyone follows the rules, things will work. The entries in A System That Isn’t Working look closely at what happens when that promise begins to slip.
