Gemini

May 21 – June 21

July 2010

MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
It’s time to build, Gemini. The Sun is in Cancer, your productive second house, until July 22nd. Focus on mastering the nuts and bolts of your job, or outline the next chapter of your work life. Unemployed or dissatisfied with your job? Good news: On July 11th, a Cancer solar eclipse ushers in a whole new approach to money and work that’s aligned with your values. This eclipse helps you add more stability to your life, too. While you’re not always the best creature of habit, you’ll find that consistency really suits you. Craft an elegantly pared-down schedule, focusing on three key actions you can take each day.

After the 22nd, get out and circulate again. The Sun is in Leo, your social third house, sparking your super-connector powers. Introduce this friend to that client, or bring together your different circles. New people have flooded your life since late May, thanks to Jupiter and Uranus in your friendship sector. Now, mix a few of these newcomers into your longtime crew, especially when Jupiter and Uranus go retrograde (backward) this month.

Craving more personal time, Gemini? On July 22nd, Saturn rounds out its journey through Virgo, your home and family sector. Since April, Saturn has put a cramp in your family or relaxation time, making it hard to really settle into your nest. Saturn’s departure eases up tension on the homefront. You could move, sell property, or make peace with a female relative if ties have been strained.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
Love turns serious later in the month when Saturn reenters Libra on July 22nd. Over the next two years, your outdated romantic habits and expectations must evolve. Although this shouldn’t be a tough transit (Libra is a friendly fellow air sign), you could stand to mature in the love arena. If you still expect some modern-day Fabio to canter up on a white horse, toss out that fantasy fast. Love requires discipline and dedication—it doesn’t run on auto-pilot. We all wake up one day in a panic and think: “the passion is gone.” It’s not. It just stopped automatically generating itself. Now, it’s your turn to learn how to create that spark, instead of waiting for someone else to hand you the match!

You’re up for Saturn’s challenge, but there’s a twist. Jupiter in your emotionally detached eleventh house squares off with transformational Pluto in your intimacy sector. This could evoke a bout of Peter Pan Syndrome, especially around July 25th. Immature friends could tempt you to take a foolish risk in the name of “freedom,” or your own knee-jerk reaction to feeling trapped could spark a senseless blowout. Don’t sabotage everything you’ve built because of cabin fever.

You’re a thrill junkie, but like any recovering addict, you must avoid the first “drink.” That means holding yourself accountable and avoiding fuzzy gray area. Eschew those late-night chats, or racy instant message sessions. Work through your intimacy issues with a therapist, not by confiding in gossipy friends or (worse) an ex-lover “who knows you so well.” You know when you’re playing with fire, Gemini. Don’t do it!

MONEY & CAREER:
New income sources are on their way! The Sun is in Cancer, your money and work sector, until July 22nd. However, the most potent day is July 11th, when a total solar eclipse in Cancer could bring job offers or career coups out of the blue. If you love your current job, don’t worry—the eclipse could bring a more permanent role with the company. An artistic project could garner serious attention after the 22nd, when disciplined Saturn moves into your creative fifth house. If you work in the arts, music, dance or any creative field, apply yourself over the next couple years—you could gain real momentum or acclaim in your field.

Connect with old contacts this month, too. Innovative Uranus goes retrograde (backward) in Aries, your group activity sector, on July 5th. Expansive Jupiter, which has been in Aries since June 6th, also goes retrograde on the 23rd. This is an important time to tap old friends and colleagues, or to rejoin a helpful networking group. On July 25th, a full moon in your inspiring ninth house could bring an opportunity to travel for business, teach or return to school. It’s also inspiring day to creatively revamp your big-picture goals. Keep your money in your pocket at this full moon. You may be tempted to gamble, but the stars indicate unclear thinking, possibly motivated by greed or negative emotions.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
For much of July, Saturn, Mars and Venus are all in Virgo, your family and self-care sector. It’s time to mend fences—literally and figuratively. Family feuds and grudges have met their expiration date. It’s time to be the bigger person, Gemini, especially with your mother or a female relative. If your home needs repair, tackle it now. Check the foundation, water systems and pipes in particular, especially if you’re due for an inspection.

Are you thinking of starting a family? On July 22nd, Saturn moves into Libra, your fertile fifth house. It may take time (even treatments) before you can conceive over the next two years, but don’t give up. Address any unresolved emotional issues first, or simply take better care of yourself. These shifts in the way you treat yourself will give you a great capacity to nurture and give life to others.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

June 2010

MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
Happy birthday, Gemini! The Sun is in your sign until June 21st, getting you all pumped to make a fresh start. You love a good beginning, when it’s all just raw material awaiting your creative touch. On June 12th, the Gemini new moon marks your personal new year, the advent of a six-month growth period. On the 21st, the Sun moves into Cancer, your work and money sector. A brilliant idea could turn into a cash cow, or a new job opportunity could come along.

With your ruler Mercury in Gemini June 11-25, you’ve got the gift of gab. It’s a great month to put your quirky ideas out there. Don’t be surprised when your ingenious notions are eagerly embraced—and spin off into something way bigger than you imagined. On June 6th, expansive Jupiter enters Aries, your group activity sector, for three months. Collaborating with a crew of forward-thinking renegades helps you find your place in the greater society—a noble and worthy purpose for your life. It’s all about teamwork this summer, with a socially conscious twist. Plant a community garden, join a food co-op, or volunteer with an international non-profit. Making a difference in the world through art or activism connects you with your greatest self.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
For the first half on June, build more stability into your love life with consistent behavior. If you’re all over the place and too hard to pin down, even the stealthiest suitor can’t catch you. Little rituals and routines with your partner form the glue of intimacy, so don’t cancel that date night to stay late at the office or meet a friend for dinner. After the 15th, Venus enters Leo, your communication sector. It’s good for important dialogue and getting back on the same page as your sweetie. If you’re single, venture out to local events or update your online profile. Strike up a chat with that cutie you always see at the newsstand or dog park.

On June 26th, a lunar eclipse falls in Capricorn, your intimacy sector. This eclipse brings closure or a relationship breakthrough, linked to events that happened around mid-January. Emotional or sexual tension that’s been building all year could reach critical mass. Don’t be surprised if this full moon finds you passionately making out in a dark corner of the club, a parked car, or some other right-here-right-now location. If a breakup has dragged on forever—especially one that requires you to divide assets—you can finalize the separation for good now.

For some Geminis, this eclipse stirs an inner conflict between the part of you that wants freedom, and the side that craves total togetherness. You may confront fears of “losing yourself” in a relationship. If you’ve abandoned any part of yourself, like your creativity or outside friendships, you only have yourself to blame. Reality is, nothing’s gone away—you’ve just neglected those aspects of your life. Don’t blame your partner or torch the relationship. With the right balance, you can enjoy companionship and your personal pursuits, too.

MONEY & CAREER:
Mingle for your money! Social Venus is in your second house of finances until June 14th, a great time to attend those industry parties or talk to friends about business ideas. Someone in your circle has the perfect connection, so ask her to make an introduction. After the 21st, the Cancer sun brings new work opportunities and helps you focus on your bottom line. Pour your energy into actions with the highest payoff or profit margin.

The June 26th lunar eclipse brings sudden activity around your long-term finances—particularly real estate, investments and debt. If you need to cover rising costs, don’t avoid dealing. Transfer your credit card debt to a zero-balance card, speak to a financial advisor or consider selling assets for cash. You may receive a chunk of upfront capital, an inheritance or a royalty check near this moon. This eclipse will square off with Jupiter and Uranus in your free-spirited eleventh house. You may be tempted to shed your possessions or sell property, especially if you feel like a slave to these things at the expense of pleasure or quality of life.

With Uranus starting a new eight-year cycle in your humanitarian eleventh house, your priorities are shifting. Life will become less about proving yourself, and more about blazing your own trail. Over the summer, you become less interested than ever in status symbols and external markers of success. You’d rather have “Here lies someone who made a difference in the world” engraved on your tombstone than see a monument built in your honor. You’ve thoroughly learned how to play the game in the last seven years. Now, it’s time to reach deeper, to go on the road like Jack Kerouac or Christopher McCandless from Into the Wild. Okay, so maybe you won’t disengage from society, but you’ll certainly embrace (or create) counter-culture. Make full use of the web and social media to spread your message, as both Uranus and the eleventh house rule technology.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
Family matters have been a theme since April, when maturing Saturn slid back into Virgo, your domestic house. Saturn is in Virgo until July 22nd, not to return for another thirty or so years. Use this cycle to strengthen family ties or to make peace with a female relative, particularly your mother or daughter. You may also feel cagey at home, unable to completely relax. Perhaps you’re moving, renovating or selling your place, or you might just have too much on your mind. Build in structured times to relax and be vigilant about keeping your commitment to self-care—no matter how much work is on your plate!

On June 8th, energetic Mars enters Virgo until July 29th, increasing the urgency around any domestic changes. You may experience heightened tension at home, a cosmic push to make important changes. If you’ve been tolerating that broken stove burner, or the piles of outgrown clothes stuffed into the hall closet, just deal with it. Tackle a different zone of your house every week, and put the Mission: Organization experts to shame. The June 26th lunar eclipse gives you a big boost to let go—of possessions, emotions and other “baggage.” You can no longer tolerate the toxicity of holding onto the past.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

May 2010

MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
Take a deep breath and relax, Gemini. The first three weeks of May are a challenge—not to mention a morass of obligations and annoying loose ends. The Sun is in Taurus until May 20th, your twelfth house of endings, rest and unfinished business. It’s time to put closure on everything from the past year, in preparation for your upcoming birthday. To top it off, your ruler Mercury is retrograde (backward) until May 11th, making you a bit spaced out and even weepy at times—for reasons you can’t even explain. Just roll with it, let yourself cry and treat yourself to extra rest, no matter how busy you are.

Blessedly, the Sun enters Gemini on May 20th, resetting your solar calendar and restoring your high energy. When all else fails, lean on the people who love you. Romantic Venus spends most of May in your sign, and energizing Mars is in your friendship sector. A bevy of supporters stand at the ready. Undrape yourself from the Superwoman cloak and reach out for support when you need it.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
Love is the most thriving area of your chart this month, Gemini. Romance-ifier Venus is in Gemini until May 21st, making you quite the catch. You’re enjoying your freedom and savoring your solo time, too—which is mighty attractive to others. Some Geminis may be starting over, either as May begins or ends. On the 27th, a Sagittarius full moon completes an important chapter of your love life that began last December. Will you and your beloved transcend to the next level of commitment? Or has the relationship reached an inevitable end? If you’ve tried everything possible (and we mean everything), it could make sense to part with mutual respect.

With transformational Pluto retrograde in your intimate eighth house, time to yourself also helps you process powerful emotions. Although you’re the sign of the Twins, togetherness is still an unnatural feeling when it gets beyond a certain point. Pluto is challenging you to pierce your own shadows and see where you’re unconsciously creating conflict or separateness to keep someone from accessing “all of you.” A course of couples’ therapy or soul-searching could put a troubled relationship back on steady ground.

MONEY & CAREER:
A tug of war between professional and personal ensues during May. Expansive Jupiter (in your career sector) is opposite restrictive Saturn (in your home and family sector). As your career blossoms, you may struggle to create personal time, leaving loved ones feeling neglected. Tension with a relative may result, so make it up to her over Memorial Day weekend. You can’t escape personal issues by using work as an excuse—however, the office may be a more peaceful haven than your own home right now.

On May 27th, revolutionary Uranus makes its first move in seven years, entering Aries until 2018. Suddenly, your whole notion of success gets turned on its head. You’ve reached the summit, but wait—where’s the parade, the big brass band, the mayor handing you keys to the city? Is this…it? Well, Gemini, if you’re measuring “success” based on results or ego gratification, it will be sadly anticlimactic. However, if you reflect upon your journey and the soul wisdom gained—then you’ll see the riches. Think back to 2003, when Uranus began its trip through Pisces. You’re so NOT the same person you were.

Some Geminis could make a radical career switch during Uranus’ transit through Aries—but relax, it will be here for eight years, so there’s no rush. Others will remain on the same career path, but with a transformed view. Like an enlightened Buddha descending from the mountaintop, you’ll return to your “village” to find the same people, conversations and scenarios; yet, everything feels completely different. It’s you who’s changed—for the better—and there’s no turning back now. Soon, your priorities and friendships will evolve. Welcome dynamic newcomers to your circle.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
Rest up, Gemini. With your ruler Mercury retrograde until May 11th, you need to release old resentments, and this will consume emotional energy. Make time for it. Between your work schedule and people clamoring for your attention like hungry baby birds, you could easily avoid dealing with it. However, you can’t escape your feelings by packing your calendar. That will only lead to burnout.

Much of this process can happen while you sleep, as the feelings have deep roots in your subconscious. Prepare yourself for healing rejuvenation each night. Power down your gadgets a couple of hours before bedtime (yes, we said bedtime). Lay out your clothes for the next day, pack a lunch, set the coffee maker to auto-brew—whatever clears your mind of concerns. Then curl up with a good book and a cup of tea, meditate or listen to soothing music.

Journaling before bed and each morning can also be a great tool. Writing down your pain and grievances can help you let them go. Getting out of your head is the most important step, since you’re the sign of communication. If it helps, you could even ceremonially burn a few pages. There’s no point in hanging onto this, Gemini.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

April 2010

MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
April is a fun, social month—a time to reward yourself for all the hard work you did in March. Let your hair down for the first three weeks, while the Sun visits Aries, your eleventh house of friendship and networking. The people you meet now could become key players in the coming months, so get out and schmooze. You’ll accomplish more on the dance floor or at a cocktail fundraiser than by logging late hours at the office. When your ruler Mercury goes retrograde (backward) on the 18th, old friends—even an old flame—could come through with powerful opportunities.

On April 20th, the Sun moves into Taurus, your sleepy twelfth house. Make like Cinderella and leave the ball before midnight. You’ll need the extra shuteye because the demands may pile up again, zapping your reserves. This is the end of your annual cycle, so focus on completing projects and gaining closure on personal issues. Finish these pressing obligations in time for your birthday, so you can make a fresh start for the next year of your life.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
It’s time to clean house and let go of the past. Venus spends most of April in Taurus, your twelfth house of closure. Even if your love life looks fairy-tale perfect, check the corners—there may be a cobweb or two clinging for dear life. Wrapped in those gossamer threads: old hurts from an ex, subconscious self-doubt formed in earlier days, anger at a parent, even a little leftover victim consciousness. These are all barriers blocking your full expression of love. This month, grab a feather duster and gently sweep these painful remnants into oblivion. You can’t create pure, honest love on top of fear. This is an excellent time for individual or couples therapy, even a workshop retreat to dismantle these limiting beliefs.

Your wakeup call may also come through the return of an ex, a former heartbreaker or “the one that got away.” From April 18-May 11, your ruling planet Mercury takes a backspin through Taurus, a notorious time for past lovers or “difficult people” to resurface. Hear this person out with much skepticism, and don’t get swept away by champagne promises that sound too good to be true. Most likely, s/he’s a messenger, here to remind you where you still need to grow and heal. Look for the lesson, not the fairy-tale ending.

Your first inclination will be to idealize this person, perhaps even comparing your current partner to him/her unfavorably. Not so fast, Gemini. With transformational Pluto retrograde in your intimacy sector from April 6th until September, your own demons around sex, attraction and trust are having a small field day of their own. Bottom line: on some level, you’re totally freaked out by getting so close to another person. Why? True intimacy requires a symbolic death of the self—at least, the self you’ve always known. To truly merge into “we,” you must shed a few facets of your single-and-separate identity. It’s okay to struggle with that—in fact, it’s perfectly human. Pluto’s trial by fire could result in a more fulfilling closeness than you ever imagined. The key: don’t run. Even if you lace up your sneakers and wrap your fist over the doorknob, turn around, walk back, and embrace what life is teaching you about real, lasting love.

MONEY & CAREER:
Last month brought massive triumphs to many Gemini careers, but the celebration isn’t over yet. While the Sun is in Aries until the 20th, you attract a flood of energizing people, many of them valuable new contacts for business and future opportunities. The April 14th Aries new moon is a powerful day for meeting people or initiating a team project.

On April 6th, Pluto goes retrograde in your wealth sector until mid-September, igniting old fears about money, power and status. Are you too attached to the external trappings of wealth? You don’t need that McMansion, status bag or luxury car to prove anything, especially if you’re struggling to pay for it. Pluto stirs up deep emotions from the unconscious, so you may need to actually mourn the loss of a former lifestyle, or to make profound changes in the way you deal with money—especially taxes, credit cards, investments and borrowed funds. There could be family feuds over property or an inheritance during this cycle, exposing the ugly side of relatives. Do your best not to sink to these lows.

At the April 28th full moon, you may be slammed with work, or a project that feels overwhelming and endless. If you’re drowning in details, don’t be afraid to ask for help or to say, “I don’t know.” Your inner perfectionist will want to prove that you know everything, but that’s not really necessary. It’s only you who’s putting that pressure on yourself. Let go of your pride and let others support you. This full moon is also an excellent time for service, so seek out volunteer opportunities where you can make a difference.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
Domestic drama returns for one final round of resolution. From April 7-May 31, tough Saturn backs into Virgo, your home and family sector. This is Saturn’s last visit here for another 30 years, and a last chance to establish your personal life on a truly solid foundation. During this cycle, old family dynamics or challenges around your living situation could arise. Address them with maturity and thoughtfulness, not impulsive reactions. If you’ve had a rift with your mother, daughter or a female relative, extend the olive branch and act as the “bigger person.”

With your ruler Mercury retrograde from April 18-May 11, be careful whom you confide in. Rumors can leak and come back to haunt you, especially if you spread them in email. Chill with the Cindy Adams/Page Six routine and steer talk away from other people’s business. This is not a favorable time to move either, and if you have a home on the market, the offers will be weak. Patience, Gemini.

The April 28th Scorpio full moon is a great day to focus on your overall health. If you’ve fallen off the wellness wagon, perhaps you need a more realistic plan that suits your busy lifestyle. Watch a tendency to eat or drink mindlessly, especially when you’re stressed. This year, you’ll be spending a great deal of time at work or in the public, but you don’t have to end a late night at the fast-food drive-thru. Stock up on healthy snacks you can munch on all day, like celery sticks, trail mix and dried fruit.

Gemini
May 21 – June 21
March 2010

MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
Pack away your party clothes—at least for the moment—and pull on that power suit. March is one of your most ambitious, get-ahead months, and the planets are priming you for success. The Sun is in Pisces, your tenth house of career, until March 20th. This adds a shot of solar power to an already booming cycle, which began January 17th. On that day, expansive Jupiter began a yearlong tour of Pisces, making 2010 one of your most success-driven years yet. Play your cards right, especially near the March 15th new moon. You could end up on an exciting new path.

You’ll have your chance to party like a rock star after the 20th, when the Sun enters Aries. Your eleventh house of social activity and networking comes alive, a great time for hobnobbing with fellow movers and shakers. A social cause could call your name. Why not kick off spring by making a difference in your community or the world at large?

LOVE & ROMANCE:
This month, focus on the friendship that forms the basis of lasting love. Romantic Venus is in Aries for most of March, bringing a more casual, social spirit to your love life. If you’re single, this is a good time to date and explore your options without stressing the outcome too much. Just get out and expand your horizons—you’re likeliest to meet someone online, through volunteer work or via mutual friends—and probably when you’re not really looking.

If you’re in a relationship, get involved in your wider community together. A neighborhood improvement project, a spring cleanup or even supporting a favorite political candidate could be fun ways to stay intellectually engaged—a turn-on for you, Gemini. This is especially helpful if you’ve been bickering with your sweetie, a likelihood since stressful Mars has been retrograde (backward) in your communication sector since December 20th. On March 10th, Mars goes direct (forward), untangling crossed wires.

The month finishes on a romantic high note. On March 29th, the Libra full moon beams its love lights into your sector of romance and passion. It’s the perfect night for a steamy date or a sexy spring fling. The fifth house rules fertility, so if you’re trying for a “new addition,” it’s a favorable time for pregnancy.

MONEY & CAREER:
Woo hoo! This month, your career sees more action than the cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore after a drunken night at the disco. The Pisces Sun brings high-profile opportunities until the 20th, especially at the March 15th Pisces new moon. Over the next six months, your career path could radically alter—and for the better. This moon teams up with radical Uranus and your ruling planet Mercury, indicating that any changes will be swift and sudden. Opportunities could come through technology, media or perhaps an innovative branch of an established company. A friend or colleague could make the introduction, via email or perhaps through an online service like LinkedIn. Keep that resume locked and loaded, and be ready to press “send.”

Over the next six months, you may take on more responsibility than ever. You could earn a fancy new title, corporate perks or even honors for your work. If you’re a business owner, work on the “public face” of your company. It might be wise to hire a publicist, revamp your website, or attend a few industry events to put yourself on the map. You may even have an opportunity to teach what you know, perhaps via a teleclass or webinar. Think of innovative ways to market your expertise and get your name out there.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
Getting fit for spring boils down to the basics. It’s all about a simple routine—sticking to a structure or a consistent plan. Becoming a creature of habit isn’t easy for your variety-loving sign, but it will serve you well now. Rise and go to bed about the same time or plan your meals in advance. An ounce of preparation is worth a pound of cure.

On March 10th, energetic Mars goes direct in Leo, your communication sector. Your words and thoughts shape your reality, so choose them wisely. If you’ve been complaining or picking little fights, try a different approach or pick a new conversation topic. There’s no need to be passive-aggressive either. The coast is clear to be your outspoken self again, so ask for what you want directly. Stop worrying about offending people with honesty. As long as you’re speaking from the heart with consideration for the other person—a far cry from “dumping,” mind you—you stand a great chance of getting your point across.

MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
You’ve got more than the traditional holidays to celebrate. On December 2nd, the Gemini full moon manifests all you’ve worked on since your birthday. You’ve grown a lot this year, and your life may look entirely different than it did just 6-8 months ago. Give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back, Gemini.

Enjoy this self-congratulatory moment, because the rest of December is all about other people. Your Twin-ly nature comes in handy now, as the Sun travels through the partnership sectors of your chart. A partner or close friend may need your support, so offer it generously now. Compromise and commitment aren’t always your strong points, but practice makes perfect. A holiday engagement, pregnancy or deepened love is possible for many Geminis. Or, you may decide to formally end a relationship that you’ve both outgrown.

Whatever happens, next year is poised to be one of your most successful, and you’ll want nothing to interfere. A sneak preview arrives at the December 31st lunar eclipse in Cancer, your money and work sector. A project you’ve been developing since July blossoms, or you could have a burst of financial insight for the coming year. An unexpected opportunity could arrive within days of the calendar turning, and you may suddenly find yourself in a completely new line of work. Pay special attention to passive income opportunities, and research those over the holidays. Who says you have to get rich by the sweat of your brow?

LOVE & ROMANCE:
Relationships are December’s central theme, and you could find your love growing deeper and more committed this month. If you’re single, it’s a rich time to meet people, or to ask friends whose relationships you admire to set you up. Don’t shun those holiday singles’ parties, even if you feel “uncool” going.

On December 16th, the Sagittarius new moon begins a six-month growth cycle in your love life. One caveat: this moon will butt heads with rebel planet Uranus. While you may long for a commitment, too much tradition leaves you feeling boxed in. Gemini, you’re not the white picket fence type, so why are you playing wifey? Nobody told you to, so untie your own apron strings. Father or authority issues could resurface, and you could project those onto a partner, acting like a cagey teen—sarcastic, willful, pushing buttons. Give yourself a reality check, Gemini.

The month ends with a pileup of planets in Capricorn, your intimate eighth house. Intense feelings surface, and you’re ready to face down any demons that stop you from bonding heart and soul. A lunar eclipse on December 31st helps you embrace commitment for all that it is. Yes, being with one person can feel “boring” and familiar, devoid of the exciting first kisses and initial contact high. You’re ready to trade that up for comfort, security and someone to count on—all the goodies that come with a stable relationship.

MONEY & CAREER:
Your career trajectory has been exciting but erratic for the last five months. Unstable Uranus has been retrograde (backward) in Pisces, bringing lots of change to your work life. At times, it may have felt like the universe handed you success, only to snatch it away without warning. On December 1st, Uranus returns to direct (forward) motion, making changes less abrupt. If you’ve felt creatively suppressed, your inner muse awakens. Uranus rules technology, so max out networking opportunities on LinkedIn, and flaunt your competitive edge with a blog, website or digital video. The Gemini full moon on December 2nd is a perfect day to put yourself out there again.

On December 31st, a Cancer lunar eclipse brings together a work or financial project that you started in July 2009. You could receive a year-end bonus, or take on extra holiday work to pad your income. You may even have an epiphany about how you can make more by doing less. There are only so many hours in a day, so explore passive income opportunities (Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a great primer).

HEALTH & FITNESS:
Taking care of number-one will require more dedication than usual. December’s planets have a strong focus on other people, but you can’t run on fumes. Put on your own oxygen mask first, Gemini. The buddy system is always great for a Twin, so grab a partner and catch up while you walk an indoor track. You might even ask a personal trainer to extend a group rate to you and a few friends.

Over the holidays, avoid inflammatory conversations, especially with siblings. You enjoy a lively debate, but it could devolve into nasty verbal sparring. With stressful Mars retrograde in your communication sector from December 20th until March, you’re best off “agreeing to disagree” than hammering home a point. If you work with your hands, you may find tension pooling in your wrists, arms and fingers. Pause and do little exercises to release muscle tension. Be careful with sharp objects as well—carelessness can lead to an accidental cut and even stitches.
