MB Gemini Astrology

MB Gemini Astrology is a simple bit of freeware that offers users a variety of reports related to people born under the astrological sign of Gemini. There's very little in the way of interaction, but the information is presented in clear, easy-to-understand fashion.

After passing a jumbled introductory screen, the user is presented with a single, bare-bones interface. Certain elements that seem changeable are actually fixed--the zodiac quality, the symbol, the element, and the birth dates for Gemini don't change--but you can select from a variety of reports about different aspects of this star sign's particular traits. All the typical fields are covered, from love to careers, and the reports themselves are written in a straightforward style that avoids overly mystical references. There's little else here, although we liked the idea behind the Update menu: links to see a daily horoscope or to join a discussion forum.

In all, this is a very basic program that falls short of possibilities. The program did install desktop icons without permission, uninstalling leaves a folder behind, and the numerous plugs for donations and money-making schemes are tiresome. Users interested in learning about Gemini traits might find this useful as an introduction, but the static nature of how the information is presented will probably limit its overall interest for most people.
