Gemini - January 2020

Welcome to 2020, lovely Gemini!  Some excellent chances for work promotion surround you during the latter half of January, as Venus gets busy in your career zone!  This is a time for displaying your creative talents and putting to good use your strong sense of justice and decorum, as others look to you to guide them towards the right path.  Venus’s fortuitous connection with Jupiter during this period is especially favourable for business transactions and securing important financial support for work-related projects.  She also forms an important and highly artistic conjunction with Neptune after the 23rd, a marvellous combination of energies for work involving creative writing, film and media projects or counselling.  Just be mindful of challenges from Mars after the 20th, putting business partnerships and legal contracts with customers into a precarious position, as good relations seem to hit a sour point.  It will take considerable diplomacy and mediation on your part to sustain these relationships.

Money is in mind for you this month, as an important lunar eclipse on the 10th illuminates all aspects of your current financial situation, good and bad, for all the world to peruse and pass judgement on!  Any significant decisions you made about money at the beginning of this eclipse cycle in summer 2019, will have an impact on you now, hopefully in a positive way which will help you to plan ahead for the rest of the year.  The eclipse opposes Saturn and Pluto, currently focusing their intense and at times onerous energy on your house of debts, hence you may find financial responsibilities a little crushing.  More positive energy comes from Saturn’s conjunctions with Mercury and the Sun between the 8th and 17th, offering you some fantastic opportunities for making extra cash or benefitting from pay increases, monetary windfalls and inheritances. Someone may show support here who you had no idea was rooting for you, and their help will be a welcome surprise.

Lilith makes a significant sign change on the 28th of January, passing into your house of friends, where she will remain for the rest of the year.  Lilith is a passionate creature who wants what she wants, on her own terms, and it is likely that as she settles in here, friendships will become harder to navigate, as jealousy, self-centredness and rebelliousness begin to seep in.  You may also begin to feel  an overwhelming desire to be open and honest under Lilith’s influence, as the need to be totally yourself around friends becomes very powerful.  This can be a cathartic experience for you, inasmuch as you will no longer need to hide certain activities or opinions from others.  You will find out who is truly accepting of the real you, and anyone else needs to leave your life!

The Moon will be new on the 24th in your house of learning, and this new Moon will offer you a rather amazing chance to see something of the world or learn a new and fascinating subject.  Such lunar experiences often suggest something you may never have considered, so keep all your options open and don’t be afraid to try something new.  The Moon’s square with Uranus at this time will also send you intensely spiritual and psychic experiences in the form of sudden flashes of inspiration;  dreams may be highly predictive now and you will have moments of simply knowing where you need to be next.  The problem here is that these intuitive episodes could be intermittent, as Uranus’s energy adds an erratic, unpredictable feel to your psychic experiences. Meditation and relaxation will help you focus.  Enjoy your January!
