Gemini Monthly Horoscope

All Gemini Horoscopes MONTH OF December

Taking off on a solo flight? Not so fast, Gemini! Ever since liberated Jupiter swept into your sign this past May 25, you've been the zodiac's most promising candidate for a cosmic Independent Spirit Award. But your twinning tendencies make a comeback in December, as a pair of new moons activate your partnership houses on the 1st and 30th, bookending the final month of 2024 with fresh-start energy.

Working the buddy system has clear benefits for every area of your life, but you might be surprised by who steps up to fill the role of "plus one." With both Mercury and Mars retrograde in your dynamic duo houses this December, some contenders from the past could even reappear. Less fun: You could also find yourself re-litigating some conflicts with this person that you thought you put to bed. Worth it? You'll find out soon enough.

On the 15th, your ruler Mercury turns direct, lifting the tension. Bonus! The year's only full moon in Gemini will light up the skies that day, giving you the green light to block, delete or otherwise create an ocean of distance between you and someone who is a chronic (and toxic) source of stress. Whew!

Christmas Eve comes with a speed check. Cautious Saturn will lock into a tense 90-degree square to effusive Jupiter in Gemini on December 24, warning against overdoing it. Holding yourself back will be hard, though, as tempting offers and the urge to take a risk will be strong.

Jupiter in Gemini can also give your plans for a "casual celebration" major scope creep and suddenly, you're so busy entertaining all the last-minute guests that you don't even have time to enjoy yourself. Moderation is your medicine, Gemini!

Get New Year's Eve plans locked and loaded ASAP, even if that means buying your tickets while Mercury is retrograde. A gnarly opposition between frenetic Mars and complicated Pluto won't let you fly by the seat of your spontaneous disco pants this year. Don't get left out in the cold with your nose pressed against the glass because you were "100 percent sure" that event wouldn't sell out. With the Capricorn moon lighting up your intimate, exclusive eighth house as the calendar turns, a private party will be much more your speed. Reserve early then slip behind those velvet ropes.

No matter where you find yourself this December, people will be your raison d'etre. The Sagittarius Sun plus Mercury retrograde in the first part of the month could put you back in your people-loving element, with friends new and old coming together for nonstop fun. But here's where things could get complex: Your adoring fans will want more than just a cameo from you this month—they'll also want a commitment. Whether you're saying yes to exclusive monogamy or putting down cash for a NYE apartment rental, people won't take kindly to your waffling ways.

Sagittarius season, plus a new moon, calls in attractive "opposites"

Twinning time? Not exactly. While "pairing is caring" might be a Gemini's 365-day mantra, look beyond the array of doppelgangers for your plus-ones this December. While the Sun's in your opposite sign (Sagittarius), it's at its farthest point in the sky from the Gemini zone. That means your own "solar power" can have a weaker charge. Until the 21st, you'll need to lean on the people who don't simply have your back, but are also qualified for the job at hand. Make room for people who are of strong body and sound mind!

You could find your missing puzzle piece already on the 1st, as the year's only new moon in Sagittarius powers up your partnership zone. The right dynamic duos can really go the distance, but vet contenders with care. This month, you'll be a lot happier teaming up with a complementary force than someone who tries to clone you like a bad version of Chat GPT.

Already manifested your mate? Pour more energy into couple-y activities. Sagittarius is the sign of travel, adventure and spontaneity. Pick a date for a road trip and just hit the first destination. That holiday craft fair voyage could evolve into an all-day affair with a spin on an ice-skating rink, a 5PM showing of Wicked, capped off by sushi, then, dive bar karaoke.

Mercury will be retrograde in Sagittarius until December 15

re you in holiday proposal mode? Whether you're officializing a romantic commitment or pitching a business prospect before the year ends, Sagittarius season sets an ideal backdrop. But you might want to hold off until Mercury turns direct, alongside the Gemini full moon, on December 15.

On the fence? Some Twins could get cold feet or have second thoughts about moving forward with a partnership or collaboration. Hold off on any major relationship decisions that are giving you pause. Get a second and third opinion, but only from people with genuine expertise in the area. Otherwise, you could wind up sinking in analysis paralysis. Even on a personal level, Mercury's backspin through Sagittarius can make it generally hard to come to any sort of compromise, which is bound to frustrate you!

If possible, delay signing a contract until early next year (Mercury's shadow period officially ends on January 2). Can't slow down the timeline? Then, be sure to read the fine print on the highest magnification setting. You need to make sure you don't miss a hidden clause or loophole. In the case of more serious deals, bring in an attorney to help you draft a contract, especially if joint finances or property are involved.

Past partners could reemerge during Mercury's backspin, some who might actually be worth considering for a reprised role in your life. Ease in gently and make sure that you're aligned this time around. If they're just giving you lip service, you'll know in the second half of December.

Mars turns retrograde in Leo on December 6

Mercury's not the only planet in reverse this December. On the 6th, go-getter Mars pivots into its biennial retrograde, backing up through Leo until January 6, then Cancer until February 23. As the raucous red planet rears through your Leo-ruled third house of communication and ideas, you may not realize how charged and downright combative you sound. Even a conversation about the weather (which, incidentally, is not controlled by a deep-state cabal) can go from "polarizing" to "polar ice." Before an old friend becomes a permanent frenemy, give yourself the space you know you need.

Even if you've "agreed to disagree," diplomatic dialogues can be hard to come by this month. It's tempting to stuff down anger, but that could create explosive interchanges. Find a healthy outlet for venting—ideally someone who can be objective or simply "hold the cup" while you have a much-needed rant about the frustrating person who won't stop getting under your skin.

Another option? Channel your frustration into a healthy outlet like exercise or an all-consuming hobby. There's nothing wrong with a distraction if it keeps you out of trouble—and comes with the bonus of shredded biceps. From song lyrics to Substack posts, the red planet's reverse could churn up some inspired literary works. Turn that triggering coworker into a character study for your future screenplay.

Neptune wakes up from its backspin on December 7, clearing up career chaos

Just in time for the year's end, confusion around your career path clears, as nebulous Neptune charges forward in your ambitious tenth house on December 7. For the past five months, you may have been chasing rainbows but not finding any pots of gold at their ends. Since July 2, you may have explored numerous paths, finding it hard to gain traction or even feel certain you were headed in the right direction. Now your seemingly random soul-searching could start to make sense—and pay off. As JRR Tolkien wrote, "Not all who wander are lost." Don't assume that your valiant efforts were in vain, Gemini, just because you didn't get an instant response to your LinkedIn query.

Soothsayer Neptune could even reveal an enlightened reason WHY results took longer to materialize. This divine delay could start to make sense. You could be suddenly inspired by a big vision that starts to take shape and finally see the next steps you need to take. Epiphanies: incoming!

Neptune's course correction is a blessing especially with confident Jupiter currently retrograde in Gemini. The stars may be serving up success in smaller bites than you prefer, throwing delays and obstacles in your path. But that doesn't mean you should give up. Just slow down and adopt a more reasonable and human pace. Besides, Gemini, hustle culture is passe in 2024 (especially in the era of Pluto in Aquarius). Instead of elbowing your way to the top, start polishing up your personal brand and networking with like-minded people. In other words, meet the universe halfway.

The year's only Gemini full moon spotlights YOU on December 15

Gemini FTW! Although there's a heavy month-long emphasis on other people, there's ONE day to make sure you devote to your own meteoric rise. On December 15, 2024's only Gemini full moon beams a stadium-bright light into your trailblazing first house of individuality. If you've known for a while that you needed to break out on your own, this could be the day you start walking the path to solo stardom.

Clear your calendar to prioritize numero uno. You might decide to make a bold change to your appearance, chopping your hair, dyeing it a bold color or getting some fresh ink on your arm—especially as your ruler Mercury resumes its forward motion the same day (December 15). With Mercury lingering in its "retroshade" shadow period until January 2, there's no need to rush to the salon or tattoo parlor. Take a little more time to think through anything that can't be reversed easily. Maybe start with a wardrobe overhaul before body modifications enter the picture?

Got a big announcement to make or an initiative to share with the world? Soft launch it on the 15th, maybe with a subtle hint on your socials that leaves people wondering about your next big move. Since Mercury is JUST ending its retrograde that day, steer clear of anything heavy-handed or shocking. Gently assert your opinions and advocate for your own ideas. Just remember: The magnifying glass is on you today, so the world WILL find out whether you've been naughty or nice.

Make way for Capricorn season on December 21, then a new, black moon

Feel free to slip under the radar once Capricorn season arrives with the winter solstice on the 21st. As the Sun heads into your private, intimate and seductive eighth house for a month, reserve your attention for the people who REALLY matter. Those 1,001 "friends" of yours will have to wait until Aquarius season to enjoy a casual hang.

You could also be deep in concentration with a detailed project, one that keeps you up half the night in divine communion with the muse. Speaking of late nights, the eighth house is also the erotic zone. With the Sun here until January 19, you may be intently focused on a sensual connection that has staying power.

December 30 features a Capricorn blue new moon, which brings a turbo-charged fresh start to this intense zone of your chart. Circle this day as a major moment to seal a deal or combine your superpowers with someone whose skills complement yours to a tee. You may be offered an opportunity to invest in something lucrative, perhaps a piece of property or a shared business venture.

Jupiter and Saturn square off on Christmas Eve

Time to rethink those 2025 goals? Christmas Eve coincides with one of 2024's most intense duels—a potent Jupiter-Saturn square. Rules-obsessed Saturn is parked in Pisces and your career house, while risk-taking Jupiter is touring Gemini and your first house of identity. The pressure is mounting to figure out "next steps" or even where the journey of life is leading you next. But with these two planets at loggerheads, you could be piling way too much pressure onto yourself.

You already experienced this clash during the dramatic Aquarius full moon on August 19th, so a similar tug of war may arise late this month. All year long, the stars have demanded that you ask yourself: Where in your life have certain structures become outmoded? And, on the flip side, where might you need to bring order to chaos? This dynamic mashup can provoke sudden change, waking you up to your power and impact but potentially redirecting your big plans.

Don't feel upset if you don't have clear answers quite yet. Jupiter and Saturn square off one more time on June 15, 2025. It may take until then to find the solution that truly sticks. Christmas Eve could bring a few clues, perhaps from a savvy relative—or by seeing which intergenerational patterns you DON'T want to repeat.

Since Jupiter moved into Gemini and your first house of personal initiatives in May 2025, you've had no shortage of novel ideas—and little resistance to making a radical change. But as ambitious Jupiter gets sideswiped by authoritative Saturn in Pisces and your structured tenth house, you could hit some roadblocks. While this may have irked you during the earlier Jupiter-Saturn square, you may now see the wisdom in "learning the rules before you break them."

Maybe your professional life has become stagnant or you've been following a formula that doesn't allow you to grow and thrive creatively. Try to see these Jupiter-Saturn squares as a blessing in disguise. Is it time to step into a new role of leadership and authority? Ready or not, one could be headed your way as the year winds down.

Mars faces off with Pluto, intensifying your New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve could bring some serious celestial fireworks as Mars and Pluto lock into a dynamic (and passionate!) opposition. Frenetic Mars is retrograde in Leo, stirring the pot in your third house of communication, hometown action and social connections. Meanwhile, mystical Pluto in Aquarius tugs your attention toward the expansive ninth house of travel, big ideas and adventure.

Should you stay local and keep it cozy or join friends for a wild, out-of-town escapade. Expect to be of two minds! There's no avoiding FOMO, so just know that no matter where you wind up, you'll have moments of wishing that you were doing something totally different. The truth is, you'll be feeling both frisky and anxious, whether you're kicking it at an intimate house party or road-tripping to a metropolis to dance in 2025 with an epic DJ set. Either way, avoid overcommitting or trying to do too much. It's more about WHO you spend NYE with than what you're doing, so curate your crew with care!

Two steps forward, one step back? Your romantic life moves through some confounding choreography this month as lovebirds Venus and Mars spend the majority of December in opposite signs. Keep your wits (and your sense of humor!) about you. Figuring out what the future holds, much less what you're feeling from minute to minute, isn't easy for a Gemini in an average month. In December, you may want to make, "be here now" your mantra and take love 24 hours at a time.

The first speed bump could arrive on the 6th, when Mars flips into a two month retrograde in Leo and your third house of cooperation and communication. This doesn't have to be the end of the road, but you may need to pull over at a rest stop to recalibrate the direction of your connection. Despite having a ton in common, a potential dealbreaker could reveal itself, like different ideas about raising kids or where to settle down. Can you work through it and restore a purposeful focus as a pair? That's gonna require some nakedly honest communication.

Lucky for you, diplomatic Venus soars into Aquarius on the 7th (and out of your Capricorn ruled eighth house, AKA the chamber of secrets), loosening your lips. Speak your truth, Twin, but do so mindfully, if you hope to negotiate any sort of win-win. Your ruler Mercury is retrograde until December 15, which can make conversations like these feel like a showdown in the Gladiator arena. Since combative Mars is in reverse until February 23, your fighting style could get dirty. Yikes! If you feel there's hope to achieve a mutually satisfying outcome, then adjust your timeline. In reality, it could take a few months to realign fully, or design a hybrid solution that satisfies both people's needs.

Because Mars is in Leo and your curious, intellectual third house, and Venus is in Aquarius and your adventurous, philosophical ninth, you could wind up doing some serious overthinking. Radical notion, Gemini: Dial back the pontificating and start engaging in the actual relationship. Instead of complaining that you never have any fun together, pick up a pair of concert tickets or make a dinner reservation. Plan a long weekend trip to a place that you've both been wanting to check out. Get a 5000 piece puzzle that you can do together while listening to thought-provoking podcasts and audiobooks. In other words, start building a relationship instead of fixating on your fears.

The 12th will be a tricky day, so approach all relationship matters with kid gloves, not gloves off. Mars and Venus make their exact opposition, which won't give you much restraint when it comes to sounding off—or starting THAT conversation again. (WHYYYYY???) Venting may be necessary, but choose your audience wisely. Gossipy, unhappy friends and relatives may find it impossible to be neutral (or forgiving, even after you've let go of the "offense"), which will make you rue the day you ever confided in them.

And what's that on your home screen, a text from your ex? With Mercury backing up through your relationship house, you could find yourself ruminating about "the one that got away." If it was legit bad timing that kept you apart, it wouldn't hurt to text a holiday meme and see what response you get. Try your very hardest to NOT invite troubled, toxic types back into your life, even if they still qualify as "the best sex I ever had."

Not only does Mercury resume its forward motion on the 15th, the year's only Gemini full moon takes place that same day, illuminating your first house of solo stardom and individuality. Although there's a heavy month-long emphasis on other people, this is the ONE day to make sure you claim the spotlight. Epiphanies around your boundaries and non-negotiables could hit you out of the blue. Again, hold your fire, Twin. Gracious Venus links up with gregarious Jupiter on December 19, bringing a dose of warmth and wit that can help diffuse any lingering tension.

Don't wander around in a tech trance on December 28! A jolting square between Venus in your optimistic ninth house and Uranus in your spiritual twelfth could bring someone who is nothing like the type who usually catches your eye. Stop your scroll and see who is trying to catch your eye. You might be attracted by the sound of their voice, their witty humor or even their quiet wisdom. They could show up anywhere from the TSA line to your yoga studio.

December 30 brings about a turbo-charged new beginning to your intimate affairs with the Capricorn new moon beaming into your erotic eighth house. Could a long-standing relationship FINALLY be switching gears? Whether you're mulling over an investment property or looking to formalize a commitment with a piece of expensive jewelry (wink wink), you'll be ahead of the curve with those pre-New-Year's resolutions. No matter your relationship status, this new moon reboots your sexy magnetism, while also sharpening your "picker." That's the sort of combination that could draw in a keeper, so consider this a PSA to keep your standards sky high!

It's good to be popular, Gemini, as Glinda the Good Witch would say. And this December, it feels like everyone wants a piece of your time AND your intellectual property. Brainstorming sessions could bring mental monsoons, but regulate your outflow. With both your ruler Mercury AND frenetic Mars spending parts of the month in retrograde, you could easily get flooded by taking on too many responsibilities.

The Sagittarius new moon on December 1 lights up your seventh house of partnerships, opening doors to collaborations that could reshape your professional trajectory. You could radar in on a podcasting co-host or land a long-awaited client. Even if you bump into "people with potential," la luna can help you sow relationship seeds that will bloom over the next six months.

With Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius until December 15, put all agreements in writing, and double-check the fine print on any deals you have on the table. Make extra-extra sure that everyone's on the same page and aligned about intentions before you pull the trigger. Retrogrades have a way of reviving the past, so don't be surprised if an old idea, project, or connection makes a comeback.

Another reason to slow your roll? Mars turns retrograde in your third house of communication on December 6, throwing a curveball into your usual quick-witted flow until February 23, 2025. DMs could mysteriously disappear from the server, deadlines may shift, or you could encounter a hiccup in your day-to-day commute. Misunderstandings might arise, and you could find it harder to get your point across. Definitely not the wind-down vibe you wished for before slamming your laptop shut until 2025.

Venus moves into Aquarius and your expansive ninth house on December 7, bringing a dose of optimism and big-picture thinking to the fold through the end of year. You might feel inspired to dive into an AI crash course, pitch an idea to an international client, or explore work opportunities that involve travel or publishing. And speaking of putting yourself out there, the year's only Gemini full moon lights up your attention-getting first house on December 15—your cosmic cue to self-promote!

Bonus points: Mercury resumes its forward motion that day (December 15), waving the checkered flag on projects that were stalled at the gates. This mid-month momentum continues to build through December 19, with sweet Venus forming a harmonious 120-degree trine to abundant Jupiter in YOUR sign. Advocate for your ideas or ask for what you truly deserve—a promotion, a raise, or maybe even the lead on your dream project.

A reality check arrives on Christmas Eve, courtesy of planetary powerhouses Jupiter and Saturn—the second of three pivotal moments in an ongoing cosmic dance that began in August. Since then, you've been feeling the push and pull between Jupiter's desire to expand and chase big opportunities and Saturn's insistence on staying grounded and pragmatic. If Jupiter has inspired a lofty goal, Saturn asks, "What's your plan to sustain it?"

Maybe you're realizing you've outgrown a role or industry and need to pivot. Or perhaps it's time to step into a leadership position that challenges you to embody your fullest potential. Whatever the case, this square invites you to recalibrate your priorities, knowing the final alignment in June 2025 will solidify your trajectory.

Right before 2024 closes, the universe delivers one final ambitious push—the new, black moon in Capricorn, which activates your eighth house of shared resources on the 30th. Stay alert and trust your instincts. It might be unorthodox to message someone about joining forces, but not if you position it as "the opportunity of a lifetime." Focus on what's in it for them and see what gives. Even if you don't seal the deal until 2025, you're setting the table for strategic talks once you're back in the office next year!

January starts with the love planet Venus, phasing into the sign of dreamy and ethereal Pisces on January 2. Love will be dreamy—and it can unleash the hopeless romantic in all of us. This can ascend or dissolve your love story as this energy reveals the importance of compassion and mutual understanding in relationships. Selfless acts can only take you so far, and keeping your energy in check would be in your best interest. Any feelings of exhaustion and uncertainty are the sign of observing your relationship. Make room for adjustments as needed. Speaking of relationships, Mars, the other love planet that rules sex, backspins into the sign of Cancer on January 6. Remember that Mars retrograde is still underway, and it's extending lessons that involve patience and steadiness. With Venus and Mars in the water signs, we cannot help but feel aligned with our hearts and souls. Impulsivity and emotional extremities are a no-go. Take a step back and hold space for unresolved feelings. This period is essential for us to find safety and solace in love.

Luckily, our thoughts and ideas will begin to make sense as Mercury, the messenger planet, enters Capricorn on January 8. Our messages will be clear and concise. So, if you have been feeling a bit misty and unable to form your ideas since last month's Mercury retrograde, expect the fog to begin to lift. You have the green light to brainstorm ideas or develop plans.

Something magical is about to begin. The North Node (AKA the point of destiny) officially shifts into the sign of watery Pisces on January 11. The last time the north node was in this position was in 2006! Think back to this time in your life and observe your standing that involves healing and self-compassion. For these next 18 months, this will be our chance to begin taking stock of being truthful and understanding of others. It's time to align with your truth while making peace from the past.

Mid-month, the Full Moon takes place in the sign of Cancer alongside Mars in a close degree on January 13. This interchange can bring up feelings of impatience and frustration involving stagnant results. Remember that slow and steady wins the race. Full Moons are an incredible outlet for rest and letting go of things beyond your control. This Full Moon will be a wake-up call and a test of your will to be at peace with yourself no matter where you are in your journey.

Expect to feel a breath of fresh air or a burst in your bubble as the Sun enters Aquarius on January 19. Tangible results will shape you as you observe your position in society and friendships. Luckily, Pluto, in alignment with the Sun, will enable you to look at the bigger picture involving your aspirations and how you can optimize your energy for your greater well-being. It's time to either clear out or evolve your connections. The messenger planet, Mercury, then progresses into Aquarius on January 27, building traction with our future goals. Ideas may stir quickly these next few weeks, and you may have difficulty keeping up. Jot your ideas down and look back at your notes later. Your messages will take form once Mars goes direct next month.

This month concludes with the New Moon in Aquarius, which is in a beautiful alignment with Mercury and Pluto, on January 29. This stellar combination will breathe new life and infinite possibilities involving long-term vision. Witness a strength in your voice and will to step forward in complete confidence. This lunation extends this desired support as you let go of old baggage related to past regret or misunderstanding. Don't you think it's finally time to let go? Begin to manifest your dreams and note what has been holding you back from success in the past. Visualize your future and observe if your current surroundings support this next step in your path.

Aries January Horoscope 2025Victoria Strelka_ph

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Theme: Clear the Air

Aries, you're about to enter a complete awakening in how you identify with family and friends. Reviewing your heart and genuine connections with Venus in the twelfth house this month will be of utmost priority. Love will feel hazy, and to find clarity, you must clear out your subconscious and face the uncertainties head-on. With the other love planet, Mars, retrograding your fourth house of home and family, your inner security begins to shake up, and this may be that time for you to explore uncomfortable discussions with loved ones. Talk to a therapist or a coach to help you find an outlet to clear the air involving past misunderstandings. Your work life will speed up as Mercury enters Capricorn in your tenth house. This period will be crucial for building confidence and certainty in your position with the public or your superiors. Develop your pitch and back it up with thorough research. Present your piece later this month when the New Moon in Aquarius powers up your networking sector. The North Node shifting in your twelfth house brings powerful experiences involving your inner life and dreams. These next 18 months will help you build up to a better version of yourself—your spiritual life will level up. Begin writing or developing a sacred practice involving meditation or art. A masterpiece awaits as you prioritize serenity and a quiet space in your daily life. The Full Moon in Cancer in your fourth house will close a chapter with your inner security and beliefs surrounding your family. Review your place in your domestic life or roots. It may be time to move or begin a home renovation. This lunation will reveal the core of your true happiness and the best approach for your family's wellbeing. By the end of the month, the Sun, Mercury, and the New Moon in Aquarius in your eleventh house will feel like a breath of fresh air as you feel renewed and optimistic about your long-term aspirations. Attend a networking event or begin a group project—you will experience an a-ha moment. It's an auspicious time to discuss with those rooting for your success.

Taurus January Horoscope 2025Victoria Strelka_ph

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

Theme: Experience Your Wildest Dreams

Taurus, this month will be filled with infinite opportunities, but it will require you to take a chance. Venus, the planet that rules your sign, will beautify your eleventh house of networking and social connections. If you feel called to go public or begin collaborative ventures, you will start to live your wildest dreams as you share your vision! Mars continuing its backspin in your third house will create a snag with communication—but don't worry, you're more than equipped to power through this challenge. In matters of engagement or expressing ideas, it has to be heart-centered and meaningful. Go with your gut and let down your guard to get your message across. The messenger planet, Mercury in Capricorn in your ninth house, extends publishing or travel opportunities. These next few weeks are all about taking chances and to dream bigger. Don't settle. Here is the most exciting part of the month as the North Node in Pisces will reside in your eleventh house for the next 18 months. Friendships and social connections will be the focal point in your journey. It will also be serendipitous as you begin to give back to society. Take part in charitable organizations or begin non-profit work—and you will start to witness your dreams taking form. Mid-month, the Full Moon in Cancer in your third house closes the chapter involving an old skill or idea you once thought was a part of your dream. It's either time to complete this endeavor or make peace with letting go. This lunation can also be an excellent opportunity to have unresolved discussions with siblings or immediate family members—talk it out. For the last half of January, the Sun, Mercury, and the New Moon power up your tenth house of career and public image. This is a period to blossom and begin believing in your long-term goal. Discuss your ideas with superiors or take note of how you wish to live out your future dreams—take charge.

Gemini January Horoscope 2025Victoria Strelka_ph

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Theme: Analyze Your Energy

Gemini, this is a month of personal and professional transformation and expansion. Experience a boost in your confidence with Venus in your tenth house of career and public life. You will find luck as you boldly express your worth at work. Present that pitch or launch your passion project. However, with Mars retrograde in your second house of finances, it's crucial to reassess your financial situation and avoid impulsive spending these next several weeks. Learn how to budget and educate yourself on how you can invest effectively. It's time to build a nest egg. Then, Mercury's move into your eighth house signals deep introspection around intimacy, shared resources, and personal transformation. It's time to get to the bottom of what holds you back from your desired changes. Investigate and observe your energy around your current situation. You will get answers this month. As the North Node enters Pisces, your career path is illuminated these next 18 months, guiding you toward long-term goals and a more meaningful professional journey.
