Did it seem long ago that life was relatively smooth sailing rather than the roller coaster existence of the past few years, especially in the area of your family, romantic and social life - job chaos was in there too come to think of it!
This week the job big dipper ride will be back again, (or what you are currently treating as a work project) and there will be fireworks or at least a volatile environment. Again, it’s continuing on with theme of which side of the fence you are on, who do you owe your loyalty and commitment to and the efficacy of existing contracts and agreements. It’s hard being a mercurial twin sometimes.
You will be in the thick of things and there will be heated debates, so please think before you speak and weigh up what you say (before you say it!). This is all positive because it is clearing the way for a very progressive and auspicious time in your career with Venus going into your 6th house of work signifying more harmonious times ahead on the work front and improved relations with your colleagues.
It’s been a testing few years and you’ve had to confront the fact that even though you kept blasting down one path, deep down you knew that you were going in the entirely wrong direction or behaving in the wrong manner and yet you were unable to stop and do a U turn; out of either blind determination or an inability to admit a mistake. You had to say goodbye to situations and people as a result and it’s true to say that in retrospect you would have done things differently.
Don’t do this again now - the Cosmos is not onside for this sort of thing this week. Know when to hold and when to fold and you’ll be fine.
You know that for your own good you need grounding every once in a while, otherwise like Peter Pan you would literally be off with the pixies for much of the time. So pay attention this week when someone tells you that you can’t do (or say) “x” or “y” because they have do have your ultimate interests at stake. You know you’ve been a bit derailed this year, and now that you’re pretty much back on track you don’t want to undo all the progress made thus far do you?
Experts are called such because they are just that, so you have to listen to people in authority and act accordingly. The not-so-easy part this week is when you have to take sides, and/or make a stand or voice an opinion on an issue. You are fully aware that this is going to put at least one nose out of joint and you’re weighing up the long-term ramifications of this and how it will affect you. Can you live with the consequences of this decision, not just for now but forever – and especially if family is concerned?
There is every possibility that you will be confronted with a situation of split loyalties either at work or on the home front, so tread warily and put on the kid gloves. Perhaps you should seriously consider a compromise otherwise it’s going to be a case of one step forward and two steps back, again, and again and…
You are in the spotlight so you can’t slink off and avoid this moment of truth or retire to your den or the boardroom. You’ve got Mercury fluffing around in your 7th and Jupiter flexing some positive muscle so there IS a degree of luck to be had in your relationships – business and otherwise – so long as you watch your propensity to blab the wrong thing at the wrong time.
You’ve still got a few i’s to dot and t’s to cross before you’re entirely in the clear, but this influence does make this process a whole lot more fluid and “doable”.
On a more positive note, for those who are single and looking for lurv and even those already “a deux”, this week the electricity is really amped up and your attraction to each other is fervent. It’s a hot and heavy time for all and even if you’re 60+, you will still be enjoying your amorous interactions that have quite a zing to them.
In fact the majority of Gemini’s interpersonal relationships are well aspected which will certainly help grease the wheels for the former. Whew.
You are up to your apricots in paperwork and bureaucracy. This might be via your career, at the social club or in your interpersonal life, but you will be dealing with officials and authority figures a lot over the coming week relating to finances.
This is a side issue to the main game because your emotional attention is certainly directed elsewhere. Irrespective of your individual circumstances there is a definite shift of mood in not only how you are looking at life and certain people in it, but more importantly how they are looking at you! You’ve undergone your 12 Labors of Hercules and passed your penance test with flying colors. For those with children the “trials” related to them in some way. For those Gems without children, it was the area of your interpersonal relationships that was under fire. Still you’ve figured out what did and didn’t work so that’s a lesson learnt.
You are more charming and persuasive than ever usual courtesy of Jupiter and Venus and the old expression “more bees with honey” aptly describes your pulling power right now. You will be calling in favors left right and centre to achieve your aims and will find yourself being swept in the orbit of VIP’s (either via your career or social life) who appear to be quite taken with your charms and disposed to furthering your cause. Whatever transpires this week will bring you a good deal of personal satisfaction, and I feel it’s the successful culmination of a lengthy scheme that you have engineered some time back.
My only note of caution here is the full moon on Sunday in your 12th house. Depending on what has been on your agenda over the past few months this can be good or not so good. As I said earlier it could be the successful culmination of a work project OR - on the downside - the revelation of a private matter that you had hoped to keep under wraps and the expose could be a source of embarrassment or discomfort. Alternatively you could finally have closure on something that commenced a long time back.
If you’re the type to get drunk and have emotional scenes this will not be a good one because you can expect a lot of mood swings, so please take extra precautions in this regard otherwise anything you want to keep hidden will be made public.
Best bet for all Gemini’s is to lay low for a few days, chill and listen to your subconscious. You will tell you a LOT of important and insightful stuff during this time so keep a pad and pen beside the bed to take notes when you wake up.
Who could know your children better than you? Well maybe that isn’t so obvious because for those Gemini’s who have children, many of them have either misread or overplayed their hand and have eroded the timbre of the relationship. You’re a smart Gemini so it’s not rocket science deducing what it is you may (or may not) have done, so the way forward to achieving détente is fairly a straightforward one if you so wish it to be the case. Other Gemini’s have gone down this path previously so if this looks like it’s happening again this week, take avoidance measures.
For those without children a similar astrological climate abounds. It’s about getting it right in a relationship but only you know if this is worth pursuing or not. Being a cerebral sign you often think rather than feel, but no matter what justifications you can conjure up to not forgive someone, or not pursue someone, or….at the end of the day blood (especially if it’s a relative) is thicker than water.
As Publius Vergilius Maro (don’t you just love the name!) declared “Love begets Love” and the more you give the more you will get. Period.
This applies even when you think there is no hope and that the horse has bolted. There is one pain that you often feel, caused by the absence of something or someone and there IS a relationship issue that you ache for; perhaps it is to have better relationships in general or towards one particular person, or even a relationship with a new company! As Paul Coelho said “Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.”
From now until the end of the month courtesy of the Cosmos you will be especially magnetic and believable so don’t waste this powerful transit and don’t be afraid to show your hand. ACT ON IT! The explicit role of Mercury the planet of communication is to foster dialogue, provide access and establish rapport so you will get that job or you will reconnect with that estranged friend, sibling, child, lover…
By the same token “issues” from the past that you could also reconnect with include unpleasant events and any underhanded dealings and secrets that you wished to remain just that, secret.
No matter how airy-fairy you can appear, you’re not airy-fairy of the heart and whilst it’s true you don't like messy displays of emotion, you do know exactly what your own emotional status quo is at any given time.
You’re a logical sign and it’s simply like math, one plus one equals two, two minus one and so on. But you often like to play games and not only do you know how to play nastily in the game of romance, more often than not you do. But there’s been a bit of a change in the way you convey and express your love these days and that’s most likely due to the shock of the wheels unexpectedly falling off one relationship in particular during one of your games.
It took you by surprise and left you feeling isolated and even bereft for quite a while so you do look at love differently now. The good news is that you’ve come out the end of a dark tunnel that was not exactly the best passage of your life (understatement!) and reached an important milestone in the way you view your immediate one-on-one associations. That’s good because you have a great chance this week of deepening your connections, both new and existing and if you’re single you will be quite in demand and feeling positively frisky about a certain someone.
I urge you to apply the lessons learned previously with all your interpersonal dealings this week because the Cosmos is providing you with positive and hopeful vibes to propel yourself ahead in most areas of your life, if and only if you play the game straight.
You have to put your best foot forward, you must. You have an image to uphold and position to maintain and you will do whatever is necessary to maintain the status quo, even if it costs you!
You’re back in the game and in demand again. Perhaps others sense that you hold the key- or the means - but whatever it is, you’re much sought after and much pursued.
It’s a good thing that you’ve got your mojo back to deal with the incessant demands and wish lists of your loved ones and you’ve recently become the juggler of the zodiac, trying to keep them all at bay.
For some Gemini’s, key folk are competing for not only your attention, but also your affirmation that the long and demanding fiscal issue is nearing an end and coming to a conclusion. If this is the case, you’ve worked long and hard with the major players to devise acceptable terms and conditions and you are happy with the assurances given.
You are no longer going to act as if nothing has happened, figuring it’s better to face it head-on than be in denial. This decision has empowered you and documentation you received this week changed the landscape; and although it’s not entirely finished just yet, it’s more of a downhill run from here.
You’ve finally worked out that you do need others and that you can’t do it alone; look what happened the last time you did that! Join forces and get as many influential folk in on the deal to give yourself and others the best shot at success or at least a “get out of jail free” card. You will be able to confront and master any personal and professional problems with charm and dexterity.
If you have them, children are very much in this picture.
As 2010 draws to a close you likewise have certainly come to the end of a particular. There has been a death of sorts (not literal but metaphorical) and a rebirth - certainly major change and transformation - in the area of joint assets (or any form of association where money was shared).
None of this has been particularly restful, as you’ve finally had to focus on your life’s meaning – or lack thereof. You’ve undergone painful crises and been forced to face your demons and deepest fears, at times resulting in uncontrollable behavior or emotional discomfort.
It’s all part of a way overdue revaluation that will result in your regeneration and help you to be able to identify what it is that really makes you happy.
You are extricating yourself from a long drawn out situation and making some major changes in your life. What are they for you?
Albert Einstein’s’ definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over and hoping for a different outcome. Does this sound familiar? You’re not mad but you have reached the end of the road on one particular issue. You can’t go over it and around it anymore and the more you keeping beating up this drama, the more stress you put on yourself and everyone else.
You’ve empowered the situation for more than it was worth, turned it into one big drama and irrespective or whether or not you had a key role or were merely an observer, you can now come up with some way forward. This isn’t the first or last time in your life that you’ve create some mayhem for your own amusement - but this one certainly got away from you!
It may have been that up until now, things felt beyond your immediate control but this weekend you take back control and hatch a plan that presents a future resolution.
But be forewarned that this weekend will not be without fireworks.
You’ve lost a lot of your power to reign supreme and you are on the back foot here. There are trust issues (and your ever present need to control) and things will be revealed that will make both you and others feel very uncomfortable. But you’re going to have to wear it unfortunately - you have no choice.
Still you’ve extricated yourself (relatively) cleanly before and you can do it again, just not in the way that you had hoped.
Trust has several subtexts. Conceptually, it’s attributable to the relationships between social groups (families, friends, communities, organizations, countries etc.) or the reasonable expectation and belief that a trustee will behave in a way beneficial to the trustor.
Trust plays a big part in your world right now. You don’t trust someone - either financially or personally – business partner/co-workers, lawyer, agent, or lover, husband, family member or friend. You are feeling wary and vulnerable and “unsure” and because of this there is every possibility of dramatic “scenes’ this week where you lose it (or the person that you are accusing does!).
An issue that has plagued you for a long time and is very much interlaced with your feelings of insecurity will be back on the agenda after a period of being under the radar. The spotlight will be back on you and you can expect uncomfortable discussions and unnerving disclosures. If fact you find the scenario so destabilizing (and distressing) that you are frozen like a deer caught in the spotlight.
Somehow money and love are entwined when they should be stand alone issues and you shouldn’t have to give to receive or take to give.
What seemed right a long time ago has so little relevance now. All the players and circumstances have changed and holding steadfast to outmoded ideas and emotions is well….outmoded.
Reality is not only your reality. Reality is what everyone makes it to be and the Cosmos is saying its way overdue to give your perspective on a certain matter a big overhaul or be left out in the cold.
You did your Richard III act and it backfired. No-one can control what happens in life or manipulate and direct situations (as much as you’d like to!) as things change, people change and nothing stays the same.
People come and go and life is a constant so you can’t keep a stranglehold, no-one can - not even despots in fascist countries can keep in all under wraps forever.
There is no need to feel frustrated and blocked. Think of it as the “rich tapestry of life” where people who once meant the world to you have faded out of the picture and will be replaced (if they haven’t already) by others who will become equally important.
Single Gems will soon be experiencing an almost embarrassment of riches as friends become lovers and lovers become friends (you usually keep your old boyfriends in the picture). The past will become the past, and the cloud of grief and disappointment will lift and the next few months speak of fresh starts and “next stages” of your life.
Will all of this come without a price tag? No of course not. You will have to make a concession or two (which you won’t like) and you will have to make a conscious effort to drop the negativity. Whilst there will still be the spectre of one individual who remains on your emotional radar (and they have really gotten into your head and/or heart) you need to extricate yourself from this stranglehold and find a way to set yourself free.
Otherwise you will continue to feel vulnerable when you need to feel in a position of strength.
The Cosmos is shining its beam on your ingenious, artistic and most resourceful sector and you are going to be so “inspired”, much more so that you’ve been in ages. You’ll be able to say exactly what you want to say, and connect in the “right” way, each and every time. Your imagination will be in overdrive but not in any dark space, but with creative genius finding new and innovative ways around old problems.
Your finances are looking good (how’s the stock-market going?) so you’re not fretting about ending in the poor house like you often do. In fact you are feeling positively well off! Any hurdles that have caused you discomfort or uncertainty will evaporate as you tackle them with your ingenious approach.
Whatever has slipped under your radar over the past few months and given you “cause for pause”; your imagination will start churning out a wealth of fresh perspectives and new approaches to sort everything out once and for all. You won’t allow anything to wallow in your “pending” tray and each and every issue will be dealt with and “out”.
You will notice that others are taking greater heed by what you say and not only are they listening to you more, they are agreeing with you. There is a focus on partnerships all around but you will be enjoying an especially close affinity with a key person in your life. Certainly your friendships and social life in general will be improved and anyone who felt suspect about you will be won over. Life will be humming.
If there has been a particular problem that has eluded all attempts to fix it, this week could just be the right time to do so and it won’t be as a result of you hammering away, it will just become part of the natural flow of events.
What did John Lennon sing “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans”. Go get em!
Life - or should I say the Cosmos - provides you (and everyone else) with regular opportunities to do the right thing, right wrongs and make yourself and others happy. This is one of those times. Whatever “went down” whilst Mercury was in retrograde (and for a LOT of you a lot longer than that…) you have a golden opportunity to wipe the slate clean. If not know one of two things a) you will either continue to be riddled with doubt and sadness well into the future, OR b) you will close off any opportunity to ever do so in future. If it’s the latter let’s hope you are resistant enough to never dwell on this again.
This week some could question your motives and actions in a way that has never been done before which could either be enlightening and/or uncomfortable as it appears that a lot of issues that have been swirling around for ages will all come to a head now.
You’ve taken quite a hammering on all fronts and no long hold quite the stranglehold over situations that you once did and certainly your power has waned. But you are clever, creative and collected (well most of the time) and above all are so adaptive; thus can keep one step ahead of whatever the Cosmos seems determined to throw at you of late. For a few Gemini’s an ongoing saga has almost derailed you and when you’re drowning in apprehension and indecision it’s very hard to take any steps, much less the right ones.
You must do what you have always done, keep the lines of communication open, socialize with friends and try and remain optimistic and above all don’t throw your weight around. If you manage that through this Cosmic climate then next week will be a different story and you’ll be amazed how quickly the status quo can change.
It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch though to say that you are secretly enjoying all the drama. Indeed you are almost invigorated by the roller coast ride and it provides so much material to talk about….
As Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up signaling a time of veracity, goodwill, and peace isn’t it about time to be honest with yourself? This would be a really good week to look into the mirror and ask some brutally honest questions and be prepared to answer them with equal honesty.
Twin One: Are you are still pining for someone from your past and if so do you think you can let the memory of them go? Or if you keep the memory can you at least stop torturing yourself. There is a whole world of new experiences, new horizons and new love affairs that await you The Cosmos has some wonderful things in store for you in your brave new world if you’re prepared to climb the mountain - and the view from the top will be sensational.
Twin Two: Are you brave enough to make rectification for what you’ve done wrong? You know exactly what is required but are you able to do it?
You know it’s the only way you will give yourself peace and a release from all the anxiety that has been plaguing you for eons. What if you choked on a turkey leg and passed this earth never having made good? Stop thinking about what pushes your buttons for a moment and put yourself into the mind and soul of another to see what must be done. Family relations are more important than all other relationships… especially if you are a parent or sibling.
You are in a transformative period did you know that? Everything that you’ve been doing in the last couple of years has been reshaping your outlook, your career direction, and your interaction with your family, your friends and the world in general.
Some of you have been wasting that steep (but precious) learning curve that the Cosmos has been making you climb by using negative energies to try and influence or control outcomes. This can work initially but Pluto will ensure that you win the battle but lose the war so why not direct that energy into fresh starts and positive beginnings.
Truth is you know exactly what is required and what your next steps are but find it hard to reconcile that in your mind. Some of you have given it years hoping that situations will spontaneously resolve themselves…but you know categorically (or should know) that they won’t.
The more you postpone the inevitable and mandatory next steps, the more complicated the situation becomes in your own mind and the more inert you become. Guts and courage are what is called for now but if I could show you the other side of the portal it is far more palatable that you would ever imagine.
You are on the way to a brave new world and certainly your living, working and family setups will change. Paul Coelho wrote in The Alchemist “when you really want something, the entire universe will conspire to fulfill your desire”. Whatever life direction/changes you wish for, you are going to be armed with the opportunities and tools to achieve it.
Just like the twins that you are, there appears to be two sides to your horoscopes. On the one side there is not only the potential but lots of opportunity for all sorts of romantic encounters ranging from one night stands to finding true love. Why? Because you are craving for and frankly needing all the love and affection you can get right now and as a rule what you want you usually ensure you get.
This month you are acting and feeling like a classic Gemini, teasing, flirtatious and mischievous and it’s been a while since you really lived up to your profile. It seems that in another life you ruled the world, breaking hearts but there have been some lean years in between and you’ve had your confidence rocked a bit by the changes, many of the unforeseen and some of them quite heartbreaking. Life hasn’t gone entirely to plan but now you are going to be pulling out all the stops to get your love lives (and this includes all forms of love – family and children included) back on track.
Which brings me to the second side of your horoscopes, for the Gemini’s who have erred and are trying to restore or redress some emotional fallout. No matter how much you try and maneuver behind the scenes whatever is going to happen is likely to happen anyway and the conclusion probably won’t be because of your actions. If you’ve really been at fault then I counsel against trying to force the issue. Yes, the situation will change as it can’t remain the same for a whole host of reasons but whether you are proactive or reactive, it’s really a moot point as it will happen on its own accord.
That said, this week is ideal for bringing back some equilibrium to your life and if this means approaching the individual (s) in question to iron out festering wounds, then perhaps this is the perfect occasion….
Mercury is retrograde so you will not be making a lot of sense to many people, including yourself! But then life hasn’t been making a whole lot of sense to you for a while has it. Disappointments of the heart, family issues, job issues, even your friends have been running a bit hot and cold.
Underlying it all is some unspoken saga that still weighs heavily on your mind and you will continue to feel all over the place emotionally until it is sorted out - or you finally put it to bed in your mind/heart.
It’s some sort of emotional/personal baggage that you feel you need to deal with in order to have a happy and carefree future. Not that anyone other than your immediate family would suspect and depending on how responsible you are for whatever it is that is bothering you, even they might not even know the full extent of it either.
You wonder why if you are so smart (which you are) how you find yourself in this predicament. Please read Taurus to get a handle on what you should be doing and that is acknowledging something clearly i.e. being entirely truthful with yourself over a certain matter and seeing it for what it is, not how you would like it to be. Make a deal with the Devil if you have to and sell your soul – or whatever it is that can bring you the kind of harmony you both crave and need. Once you have unburdened yourself from the pressures of certain situations you can skip ahead with your life that has pretty much been in a holding pattern. Is there really emotional baggage or do you just imagine that it exits when in fact it may have long departed. Only you can answer that truthfully and the answer will determine your actions.
Within a matter of weeks you will be your own person again and when you smile it will be genuine and heartfelt and not the mask you have been wearing for quite some time.
Cher belted out “if you could turn back time” but unfortunately as we all know, you can’t. So what has transpired to lead you to this position?
Frankly that no longer really matters. What really matters is that some (or at least one) of your key relationships changed irrevocably in the past which has given you a lot of sadness and grief and whilst you might really like to undo that fact, you recognize (or should by now!) that it is highly unlikely. Notice though that I didn’t say impossible because this week, some relationships are changing (yet again). Now this might be for the better or for the worse, or an entirely different relationship, only time will tell.
If you have made a bed for yourself that you now realize you no longer want to lie in then of course you have a real problem. This might be metaphorical (a convoluted situation) or literal (a real bed which you share with another!), but if your children are involved also then you have …shall we say really “stuffed up”…and you are beginning to wonder how long this status quo can sit comfortably with you – if at all.
The Cosmos is playing a game of reward and punishment so this time around you have to be as sincere, loving, honest and real as you’ve ever been in order just to be not misunderstood (especially so in your business dealings) or you will really make matters worse….
Communication, change, movement, these words are among your favorite in the dictionary. Not so favorite is responsibility although granted some Gemini’s are very responsible – just so long as they can run their own agenda.
You need to be responsible in a very different way this week. Love for a child or love for another, children and relationships are all-pervading. If there is anything lacking in your connection to a child you really should address this once and for all. Some Gemini’s really feel that someone has encroached on their emotional object (child or lover) – if it’s a child they will always be your child, if it’s a lover there is definitely another one around the corner. Some Gemini’s can’t get rid of a lover who is clinging on like grim death but when you’re “off” you are well and truly “off”.
If single there is an almost obscene changing of the guards – don’t surprised if another love interest pops up this week. You are looking and you are certainly very interested in a “play”. You are sizzling in the communication stakes and people are seeking you out and asking for advice. Be very wary however if the advice to another is against your adult child (i.e. in-law, relative etc) as this will come at a cost – the fallout could be long lasting.
Whilst your relationship/child zones are on fire, use this time productively to obtain great insight into your own psyche and behaviour - how you relate to others (relationships and with children/lovers) and where you don’t. This week can thaw any relationships that are currently frosty.
“Hands off”, that’s the best advice I can give all Gemini’s this week.
If there is any situation brewing, legal or financial, do not interfere even if you are “sort of” involved. If someone comes to you with a problem and it involves them and someone else, whatever you do stay clear. It’s not appropriate for you to wade on in and intervene on someone else’s behalf. Butt out and mind your own business even it you do feel the problem needs your guidance.
Neither can you meddle in the lives of your siblings, adult children, work colleagues, in-law’s or anyone else and it does seem this week you are especially preoccupied with your children and their lives. One adult child has shown you quite clearly of late what you can expect in the future and you don’t exactly like what you see!
If you don’t have children you are thinking about a relationship and/or your sex life and strange as that sounds this is where its at – the planets are in the house of love, relationships and relationships with children etc.
For those of you who want love I can’t promise it will be all wine and roses as there are other cosmic influences spoiling that mix. You are itchy for romance and yet at the same time you feel exposed and not in a position of strength and actually fear failure. You may have found someone who has really sparked your interest and yet you hesitate to move forward because of this fear.
Again my advice is not to butt out exactly but allow things to develop at the pace they are meant to, do not try and pre-empt or push the situation ahead of its natural course.
Any real restrictions to your freedom cause you the most unhappiness, it always has - everything else you can deal with in time.
You have been a lot more social in the last few months than you have been in ages - in fact you are reveling in your renewed social popularity – and yet have successfully managed to keep your pressing secrets just that, secret and very few (if any) know the private burdens that you carry around.
Your family is still playing a key role in your life and the issues in which you are all entwined together will continue to require addressing for a few more weeks yet and place ongoing demands on both your time and psyche. To the outside world you slap on your carefree face which belies the underlying anxiety of situations that can’t resolve themselves and yet you wish to avoid them if at all possible. You can’t.
You are inclined to overreact this week (and this is not advisable if you can at all avoid it) but the real threat to you remains two fold, your emotional and financial security.
You know you must deal with this somehow and find a solution to a key issue (it has been around for months) in your private life and it is equally imperative that the solution you find is one that you will find appropriate not just for the foreseeable future but one that can remain in place for many years to come.
For some it is an ex lover that is causing this upset so don’t be surprised if you hear from him/her this week but whatever the outcome, I feel you are mentally and emotionally very close (if not there already) to finally closing this chapter of your life and not looking back.
The main hurdle is that you continue to insist that it is done “your way” which will prolong the stalemate situation - if there are legalities involved how you deal with this can make or break you so pay attention to this area if you wish to avoid any scandals.
I’ve been harping on about the nightmare that you have been having at the grass roots level of your domestic world, your siblings, and children, family, home and home-life. Some Gemini homes now resemble battlefields as opposed to sanctuaries. Others have experienced financial difficulties mainly centered around maintaining or retaining the home and others still have experienced some destruction to their home either planned or unexpected (fire, renovation etc).
It got so that you really didn’t want to even leave the house – in spite of the house feeling like a war zone – and communication has been awkward to say the least. You’ve been tiptoeing around festering issues and ragged wounds between family members, many that you have been the architect of in earlier times.
You’ve re-jigged the reality in your mind a million times but it still gets regurgitated into the same miasma and you’d have to be minus most of your senses NOT to be aware of all the frissons present. There is some respite shortly - Saturn moving on - and whilst it will still need kid gloves and all of your mental acuity to redress the damage and carnage from the past; you will notice an easing of the limitations. If you really play your cards right, you can almost say farewell to most if not all of the issues.
It’s highly possible that this month you will switch tacks and in doing so you manage to extract yourself up from the quagmire. Once you see the benefits from this course of action each step will get easier and easier. A word of warning here, if you are being true to yourself and others, the way out is clear and quite easy but if you have been insincere you still have a long way to go before you extricate yourself.
It really depends on how important “family” (whatever that means to you) and home life is to you. Are you’re prepared to stick your neck out and make good but risk getting repelled or take the easy way out and kiss certain folk goodbye?
Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all…
Is it really? You certainly want this to be the case and will be doing LOTS to create the illusion of this, if not the reality. There are some dissenters within your family group, one in particular appears very aggrieved with you and there are likely to be some challenges in this area that require your attention (and loads of charm!) to turn it around. This is a tall order this one and will require you to dig deep to fix it - but you can and you know it. Just centre yourself instead of being caught up in all the emotional drama, focus on the problem and use that mercurial brain of yours to identify the “out” and just do it.
There has been a big evolution within your domain (or is that devolution?) certainly there have been changes that necessitated adjustments. In a way you are changing course or closing a chapter of your life or attempting to restructure something that has gone quite awry.
I think your tolerance has reached an all time low and it is taking every last gram of self discipline to hold you back from yourself. You need to be charitable now, more than you ever have in your whole life, and if you can’t bring yourself to do that, then have the graciousness to walk away without a tear or backward glance…“tomorrow is another day”..(I’m sure Scarlett was a Gemini!). There is no question that the events of this year regarding your home, family, and your intimate interpersonal relationships have left you ragged.
A lot of Gemini’s are relocating (or have relocated), or saying “goodbye” to an ideology, belief, commitment etc. It hasn’t been easy and it does require a direct and intelligent approach. If handled properly – you are so skilled at this sort of thing – you may well mend a festering situation once and for all. By the end of the month this matter will finally be behind you and you will enjoy your family and/or home life again – it will become a homely retreat again rather than the battlefield it currently resembles.
You will be pleased by the almost miraculous outcome if you take the initiative and communicate, communicate, communicate.
My smart, good looking and capricious Gemini – oh what a journey you have been on!
You either made a big mistake (by probably overplaying your hand) and it went awry or else your heart was broken. Either way you are dusting yourself off and are getting on with life and putting on a brave face. There’s not much that can keep you down for too long, but you are a cerebral soul which means your mind is always active and you tend to replay scenarios over and over. Your prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia havebeen in overdrive over the past few months!
If you could head off someone new, just get a fresh start and leave all the memories behind, now that would be ideal. A lot of you who are fortunate enough to be in a position to do just that already have and the next chapter of your life (a much happier one!) will begin to unfold.
Those of you who are still in an emotional swamp and locked into a scenario that more resembles a vortex, well you have to find a way out, not continue to chase your tail. More time can help you to deal with outstanding issues (which I feel has a lot to do with money/material things) but at some stage you need to summon up the required courage and fortitude to deal with life.
Put things in place and change course and know that until to you do you will not only keep losing power bit by bit but it will shift to others within the framework.
You just want to feel safe and secure but security hasn’t got everything to do with money -emotional security also plays it’s part – just know to what extent for a healthy balance. There is no doubt that you are completely focused on your finances, your setup, joint finances and $ security right now and admittedly there arebig changes afoot in this regard. These changes will be either to your attitude towards money or at the bottom line – $ out or $ in.
The real change though is that as a Gemini you’ve come to the realization that no matter what life throws at you (and it has!) at the end of the day you need people for survival and happiness and just because you are feeling glum this is not a reason to sequester yourself away.
This week you’ll be putting your head out the door and mingling (and enjoying it!) even if you are offloading your woes.
You are getting there. Slowly your outlook is changing and will continue to do so and before you know it you’ll be back to your old self. Well perhaps your old self with just a touch more insight and awareness of others on a deeper level than you are accustomed to.
It will be unnecessary for me to point out that you’ve come a longway already; it wouldn’t be unfair to say that you’ve given one particular situation – most likely a major feature of your life/(style) - a lot of thought. There is certainly a material aspect to this situation, money is tied up in there somewhere and it may just be a case of you fretting about your resources, Gemini’s always worry about money, i.e. never enough.
There is a loss though of some kind that bothers you and for maybe the first time in your life you don’t trust your instincts or ability to fix it. There could be a touch of general uncertainty, who to believe and who to trust – is there anyone truly out there batting for me?
There is something to be attended to and you must keep your attention focused on putting this right. It’s doable and achievable and you can make real headway if you apply yourself. This could be a case of resolving a situation or alternatively reconciling how you feel about a situation and finally be able to emotionally and mentally move on.
Security is paramount in your mind now, emotional, domestic and financial and these are the areas you feel are either under threat or “not solid”.
It is consuming your attention, thoughts and time, so consequently I see you hanging out less with others and doing less socialising whilst you attempt to conserve your emotional and mental resources.
Of course Gemini’s need company like others need air so stick to the tried and true and immediate family, they are your comfort zone right now where you can just be yourself without need for “happy chappy” pretense.
Now that your birthday month is past you come back to earth, not necessarily with a thud but feeling a tad deflated and this week you will be feeling a bit distressed and regretful. There was so much activity in the past month centered on fun things that the all pervading issues which have hung around you for such a long time whilst not forgotten, certainly were on the back burner which was a relief.
Somehow you managed to feel unburdened even carefree for a number of weeks and now the responsibilities particularly relating to your closest relationships are closing back in on you. There has been a reluctant or forced “letting go” and a lot of changes that have occurred in your world have everything to do with those previously (or still) dear to you.
Whilst this process is exceedingly painful you rationalize that in the long run it’s all for the best …although in reality this is more about protecting you than anyone else. But is this what you really want or are you merely kidding yourself?
You can plug up a leaking hole indefinitely but at some point in time it will burst open and by then it’s a flood and at that time you may wish you’d attended to it whilst it was still repairable….
Another option is to ignore it all together, hoping it will stop but that’s probably wishful thinking. As I’ve been saying for months, please deal with your issues as they won’t be going away and frankly your life won’t progress or function at an optimum level until you do sort it out once and for all. If there has been a mistake (or error of judgment) that you could undo if you could; reflect on all the “good old days” and see if you can discover a way to right the wrongs.
This is especially so if you are entwined financially with someone, either you have not been beyond reproach or vice versa or you will become privy to a situation that is not entirely “kosher”. I must urge you, to do the right thing as the Cosmos is providing great assistance right now to find the best outcomes.
If you are trying to deny your emotional pain from a break, or a hurt from someone else, likewise this must be dealt with in the same way or you will not be released from the pain.
Your crisis or “un-restful” passage whilst not necessarily gone from your life or entirely forgotten, has been put to the side and you not feeling anywhere near as much emotional discomfort at the moment as you have done previously.
Indeed you are currently socialising like there is no tomorrow and life should be exciting and joyful, yes “fun”.
Fun? You had almost forgotten the true meaning of the word and you will be entirely Gemini-like, flirting with all and sundry, talking up a storm, gossiping, travelling, having a ball and being the centre of attention.
Friends will flock around you but be careful to reign in your aggressive and dominant “winning” streak which has been on overdrive, especially if you are focusing your assertiveness too verbally towards a recurring family or private issue. Not to worry, you are enjoying popularity and have the ear of your fans.
You are valiantly trying (and succeeding quite admirably) to shake off the emotional rawness from your system with good times, parties and a variety of entertaining social functions although there will always be the spoilsports who try and get under your skin and piss you off.
Concurrently any family relationships that are “on the rocks” will remain frustrating even if they are impacting on your psyche to a lesser extent than they were previously. SB urges you to try and find an escape clause to the situation as your well being and security is threatened to a degree and will continue to be so.
You are rewriting your emotional foundation - no easy feat - and madly holding on to the status quo (even if it does appear to be a more workable setup) is merely thwarting your long term emotional and spiritual progress and postponing the best (and probably inevitable) outcome.
Gee I have been saying for GOD KNOW HOW LONG about your “situation” which has been driving you mad for months and months. It’s eithersomeone has caused you to feel this way or you have done the wrong thing – but whichever scenario it is, it has served to make you, the lively Gemini, feel “quiet” and a bit lost.
Since the end of May you’ve had a respite and have almost felt like your old self again and I’m certain you’ve been out and about a lot more recently than you have in the past few months put together – a passage of your life that you’d pretty much like to forget. It appears that your friends are rallying around, you are mixing it in groups and community functions, family affairs, celebrations – you name it, you’re on the invite list – or better still you’re the instigator. You are going to show all and sundry that you are NOT a person to be held back, put down or made to feel “quiet” or retiring.
Gemini’s are not known for their nostalgia as a rule and yet whatever it is that transpired over those fraught months does hang around in your head – or is that your heart?
Now whether that means fronting up to the person or situation that has made you feel this way or walking away from the situation or person that you have made a mess of is to be seen. For those who are the former, take comfort in knowing that there is every chance from here on in that you can really make a big splash in whatever pond you swim (because you’ve become a big and respected fish). For the latter, keep your fingers crossed because likewise there is every chance that you will end up with a LOT of egg on your pixie face.
There will still be issues from the past that have to be dealt with and how you handle this will have a huge bearing on the immediate future (next couple months) but don’t fret too much because with your charming ways no-one stays too angry at you for long even if you don’t choose the right course of action.
“It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to, cry it I want to…..you would cry to if it happened to you”….well you’re certainly going to be having an party. No self respecting Gemini won’t be celebrating their birthdays without some form of get together and if you aren’t celebrating it this week, then you’re planning it….or getting over it.
Is this the week when you’ll finally go too far or have you done that already? Ask yourself this, what is the public perception of you (or if you’ve been lying low which MOST Gemini’s have been doing for months)? What do your nearest and dearest think of your actions (past and present)?
Funnily enough these are quite poignant times (whether you realize that or not) and some fundamental and enduring changes will be taking place in your life.
These will be either obvious or more subtle ones but the ramifications will be lasting and set the tone for the future. Is your house built upon rock or sand?
This is a metaphorical question of course but the pathway to your future will depend on how solid the roots of your personal domain are and SB fears that they are a bit fragmented and it is this area of your life that requires the most tending.
On the one hand you are on the precipice of a period in which you can “win friends and influence people” but there is still that underlying frisson that remains and frankly you have no idea of the outcome. It is true that these next few weeks can go either way; for some there will be absolute endings, no turning back and even turf wars. For others there will be an 11th hour effort to rectify seemingly hopeless situations and pull irons out of the fire.
What is universal for all Gemini’s is that your “home” – either city, dwelling, relationship, country…after all past harrowing months will no longer hold the same appeal and many of you will seriously be considering either moving, rearranging, renovating or at least “getting away” for a while.
The big news this week is Uranus entering Aries on or around Friday (depending on where you live in the world) which has not occurred since 1927 - so it is highly unlikely that you will have experienced its impact on your 11th house previously.
I’ll address the full ramifications of that in the June monthly horoscopes but know that Uranus is the planet of abrupt and unexpected change and although this won’t become obvious to you straight away (I’ll explain why next month) the time for change in the way you connect socially, your professional status and reputation is nigh.
That will be the last thing though that you will be thinking about this week. Always in your birthday month you feel pretty good – happy, confident, and energized. The world looks good and you feel liked, admired and appreciated.
Let’s face it your birthday month is usually positive and quite social although your change of mood might also put you in the right frame of mind to be able to really open your eyes to the reality of a certain situation. Some you will be drawing a line in the sand and saying adieu to the past once and for all.
A LOT of Gemini’s will be travelling – either for pleasure or as an escape. Funnily enough in spite of what I wrote above, a lot of you will subconsciously want to put some geographical space between yourself and certain others - which is in reality emotional space.
Certainly your friendships are undergoing a metamorphosis and it’s a personal “sorting out”. Old friends will drop off and new and very different (even unusual) friends will enter the fray over the next decade. Some of your previously staunchest allies will abandon you just when you needed them most to be replaced by people who you never expected to support you. It’s all part of a new path to freedom that you are undertaking - emotional autonomy has everything to do with it - along with ensuring that you are viewed in the correct light.
If you don’t feel that you are visible enough, or worse not respected or understood; then you are going to restructure your world to make certain that this is addressed. It’s never too late to reinvent yourself and let’s face it Geminis flourish when fed change. You will surprise yourself and others as you abandon your old modus operandi and set new goals that will radically transform your life.
Rely on nobody except YOURSELF and you will be fine.
It’s your birthday week…yippee… and for the next month it’s your turn to feel good and have fun although you’ll probably be responding “really??!” You are entitled to your doubts as it certainly hasn’t felt too lighthearted of late and you’re still surrounded by the same old discord that’s been hanging around for eons, especially related to career and family matters.
Up until now you have been lying low, sticking with immediate family and close friends and being pretty much self-contained. Why? Because chances are you are one of the Gemini’s who have gotten themselves into a right old pickle and don’t fancy putting your big toe outside the door, much less your face into the spotlight. Have you had your painful crisis yet? Have you experienced your jolt of consciousness?
That said you do feel that you are mastering the various conflicts and realizing some of the objectives that you set for yourself and therefore there has been progress, particularly in your career (not to mention all the birthday celebrations!) but if you really want to get a situation resolved, your birthday month will revitalize you and provide the impetus to do so.
Don’t worry you will not only survive any such challenges (or scandals) this will be a great opportunity to learn something about yourself and expand your mind – if you really want to. What appears to be a vicious circle might have a resolution, yes marvelous things do happen but you’ve got to stay open-minded for that to happen though…
This could be the week. If you’ve been reading Gemini you will know that I’ve been harping on for a quite a while about some “behind the scenes issues” that you had to deal with. Now, you may or may not have made a monumental slip up; OR you may have made one but were able to use that quicksilver brain to band aid it so that no-one ever knew OR someone else was left holding the can.
Certainly you’ve felt a tad paranoid and persecuted of late but after many months of reflection you’re getting a bit of clarity as to what you need to do to fix all this up once and for all. If it’s reached a stage where you are an object of derision or ridicule then you certainly need to take some action.
On the other hand you may have been so skilful with your damage control that you have come out (almost) smelling like roses. Certainly with Venus in your sign and your birthday coming up you are feeling (or should be feeling) and certainly will be projecting a lot more charisma than usual.
Irrespective of where you sit though, there is internal work to be done and maybe still future damage control – after all where there is smoke there can be fire – so please take time out to figure what your next steps are going to be.
Hint: Owning up and saying sorry goes a long, long way.
If you wanted you could be a sensational poker player. Why? Because you could be dealt the worst hand in cards and you’d continue with your lighthearted banter, crack a joke or two (no doubt at someone’s expense) and smile brightly throughout. A bit like you are doing now. It doesn’t mean of course that you will necessarily win the hand, but it does give you an advantage and who knows you may bluff them and even yourself. A self fulfilling prophesy.
In spite of being challenged to the max, you keep on keeping on and this will stand you in good stead. Although I can’t tell you categorically whether or not you will emerge victorious from any skirmishes or mucky emotional situations you may currently be involved in, I can tell you that you’ve increased your odds.
Miracles do happen and you might just pull off a miracle or two with that fertile mind of yours working on overdrive as you try to extinguish all the fires...
I love doing your forecast because each week I’m basically on the same bandwagon. Here we go again: you will continue to be a true twin and lead your Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde existence until you confront the emotional baggage that you have swept under the carpet (or wherever you have put it).
You’ve experienced at least one “ending” either a relationship or in some other guise – business et al – which still needs addressing and/or rectifying before you (and others) can move on. Failing to do so is a gamble and could result in a far trickier and more awkward situation than the one you find yourself in now.
How much more discomfort do you want to experience?
Can you really believe you can let go of the past (hurts or people) and walk away forever and remain unscathed? Maybe you can maybe you can’t. It’s not going to be easy but if you don’t confront it the issue will most likely continue to consume you - even if you vehemently deny that it does – until you deal with it.
Right now Venus in your sign is helpful to this cause as it enhances your image and is beneficial to your all your relationships so this might be a good time to attempt damage control…..but continuing to hang out only with people who validate you is only fooling yourself.
At the moment family means everything to a Gemini as it’s a lot better than what’s going on outside which is way too unsettled. Granted you won’t be able to keep this up for ever and you will get bored playing happy families after too long – especially when this all pervading feeling of being hapless fades away and is replaced by your usual vigour.
You’ve decided it’s best to lay low and keep your kettle dry just in case you say anything MORE that could inflame the situation and granted having family around you validates you and is reassuring. Gee you do like me.
Use this down time to turn your superior mind to ways in which you can navigate yourself out of the mire and consider that any avenues or people who appear to have closed off from you don’t always have to remain so.
You are the Queen & King of lateral thinking and with all your usual flitting about being somewhat curtailed this leaves more time for introspection. I feel confident you will conjure up a miracle if you deserve one.
By now you will think I have it “in” for Geminis. No doubt you will be thinking “Gee Stella the last half decent forecast was back in March so why are so on my case all the time?”.
Well I’m sorry dear twins but the happy news is not going to be forthcoming this week or indeed in the next few. For starters on the weekend Mercury your Ruler will begin to cause you additional duress and frustration for the next 3 weeks and Pluto will continue to grind on in your 8th house and address your “baggage”.
If you have lots of baggage you have lots of trouble ahead, and vice versa: quid pro quo.
Are you working in a realm of actuality or are you continuing to weave your own fabric of truth? You are obsessing about at least one issue, the answer to which continues to elude you. Could that be because you are refusing to even entertain the idea of having to undergo emotional discomfort caused by seeing (and maybe revealing) the situation in a truthful and real light?
Life can still be whole and happy if you believe it to be so and you can continue to happily skate along the surface, only it’s not the whole picture or complete is it?
I so wish I could tell you that you will be hopping around meeting people, having light and frothy telephone conversations, and generally having a great time and THAT IS ALL YOU WILL BE DOING.
No, there is far more than that going on behind the scenes and this will NOT go away until you begin to deal with it - and sorry, none of your confidantes, bridge pals or running mates can fix this for you. I have been saying the same thing for a number of weeks now, so maybe you are starting to pay attention.
You have had respites when you convinced yourself that you weren’t thinking about “the family thing” but in your subconscious it’s always there. Please read your monthly horoscopes and ask yourself the same questions posed there. If you answered “no”, then Pluto is telling you to “do something about it”.
Trying to keep one step ahead of your problems by running away from them or partying like mad won’t work either.
You are working closely with someone and it’s going well or you are socialising with one particular person or group a bit more than with others and it is taken on far more of an important role or focus than you had ever imagined.
Everything that concerns you at the moment is very much “behind the scenes” and you will continue to maintain a level of secrecy regarding these issues. Is it either you fear that if the truth be known it may impact on your social standing or are you working towards some hidden agenda that you are not prepared to reveal as yet.
Either way the outcome is very close to your heart and how it pans out will have an impact well into the future and either you will be spending more time alone (or separate from this person or group) for some time to come or your fondest hopes and desires come to fruition and all will be resolved.
Know that you cannot and never will be able to control destiny and once you truly understand that humanity is essentially immobilized against inevitabilities, you may gain some early and much desired peace even though you may have to swallow the bitter pill of acceptance at the same time. Happy Easter!
Boy, aren’t you tired of all the toxicity? It’s the same arguments over and over…a “who’s on first base?” kind of vortex which is frankly a bit boring after the 1000th time around. The players don’t change and neither do the protagonists and if you are really honest with yourself you will realize that truthfully you were probably the architect of most of them.
You’d like to be loved but it’s a bit in short supply and you wonder why – surely not!
The only answer is to surround yourself with friends who love you (and haven’t been exposed to your mischief) and the camaraderie and support of the group will lift your spirits out of the doldrums and may even provide the right answers to some of your more vexing problems.
Talk, chat, spin tales, mix, socialize, don’t let your mind wander back to what irks you and communicate, laugh, phone a friend and do it ALL, NON STOP.
That way the slim chance that you could actually cause some physical harm to those who are really bugging you is further reduced. Whew!
Einstein said that the definition of madness was doing the same thing over and over and hoping for a different result. What is it in your world that you hope will have a different outcome if you keep trying a hundred different approaches - including backdoor ones?
Why not do what you do best and forget about all the “issues” you’ve been facing and just get out and about, socialize, network and have fun. You’ll be amazed at how free and unshackled you will feel almost instantly because you are focusing outwardly for a change and not on your own dramas.
And there is a drama of some kind in your life.
It could be a good “drama” where there is a lot of commotion going on, or it could be a crisis of sorts. As I mentioned last week, you can’t expect people to agree with you all of the time and you’d best be prepared for a difference of opinions every now and then.
If on the other hand you suffer from overconfidence and arrogance or do not like being bested under any circumstances you could end up with egg on your face in a big way. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
What’s going on with you at the moment? You’ve not been making much of an impact lately and life has been somewhat dreary but this week you can rectify all of that.
Network and socialize as much as you can and pass on whatever messages you are so keen to impart but be prepared for others to not necessarily agree with you.
You may truly believe that your feelings are absolutely validated and you expect everyone else to think so as well, but…. have you ever considered that you may be barking up the wrong tree? You can’t force people to agree with you – they are entitled to their own opinions after all, so watch a tendency to try to shove your ideas down people’s throats.
You’ll be spreading gossip like mad but temper your reactions if anyone dares to dispute your version – you won’t like the result.
As mentioned in your monthly horoscope, there is the possibility that your “public face” or reputation is either at risk of being damaged or being enhanced – often in astrology it’s either one end or the other of the spectrum. There is much activity in your House of Social Status (10th) so depending on what you’ve been up to, it’s either kudos or condemnation.
Certainly you have little free time at the moment which I doubt is all being consumed in lighthearted pursuits as opposed to some other more pressing responsibilities. Have you been sufficiently attuned to the sensitivities of a situation and offered yourself up as support, either emotional or financial?
A different approach or revisiting the same situation but under a different guise might make all the difference to the outcome this time around. Are you afraid of rejection from a certain someone? When you really want something you can be relentless, so why would you worry about that now? Carpe diem.
This week finds you travelling or at least moving around your own territory and making lots of contacts, socialising, networking and otherwise being distracted.Is this to take your mind off the fact that you are currently caught up in a situation that can only be resolved if you deal with it the in the right way?
If you embrace the difficulties and discomforts that lie ahead instead of trying to pass the buck or chickening out of doing the right thing you will find that your self respect and the opinion of others will grow in quantum leaps.
Castigating everyone in sight, especially authority figures and “losing it” will not accelerate your cause – au contraire your Gemini intolerance will be on display for all to witness. Try reasoning and patience (not a Gemini virtue) as you wade into unfamiliar territory and try to hold it all together as the drama unfolds.
Don’t try and shirk your responsibilities and remember that the cost of love is not as important as the value.
You’ve got to start thinking about the greater good (it’s a long life!) than continuing to focus on your own wishes.
You don’t like being bested but now is THE time to perhaps appear on the surface to be a loser only to actually win in the long term. Are you getting my drift?
You haven’t had a chance like this for many years to make things right and you won’t for many years more…..so are you going to step up to the plate (in truth you are off it and deep, deep down you know this) or let this opportunity to do the right thing pass you by?
It’s not too big an ask and everyone will be in a better space in the long run. Have a long hard think about it and consider the following: “the cost of love is not as important as the value”.
Long ago you adopted a view which you now realize was not only wrong but now seems both irrelevant and irrevocable. Whilst Gemini’s are noted for their ability to change and adapt, in this regard you have remained rigid which in truth has only served to limit you.
Life hasn’t really been that good has it?If you want to expand your consciousness, realize that the circumstances HAVE changed and in the current climate you are being left behind. If you are prepared to meet halfway you may still get a chance to restore your credibility and come out a winner…or at least with some semblance of integrity.
After a traumatic (or at the very least less than easy time), the mood lightens and you start to see a way forward.Start exploring your options – you do have them you know.Meanwhile how is your state of mind and emotional well being?After you’ve been through the shredder it’s hard to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.It’s those omnipresent issues that you can’t find a workable solution for so perhaps a stay in a retreat or an overseas holiday may do the trick to clear the mind.PS Did you make your own bed? What do others think? Do you need help or no?Interesting to find out if you dare….
