Best Days for Career: 7, 15, 17, 18, 24, 25
A very eventful month that portends changes not only for this immediate period but for all of next year as well. First off, two long-term planets change signs this month. Saturn will leave your 9th house, after two years there, and enter your 10th on the 18th, and Jupiter will move into your 10th house on the 20th, and will spend practically all of 2021 in your career house. Secondly, we will have our final eclipse of the year on December 14. This will be a solar eclipse that occurs in your 8th house. The shift of a long-term planet is always a headline. Likewise an eclipse.
With Jupiter in your 10th house, career is going to be very successful going into next year. Yes, you will earn it, but success will happen. There are also likely to be surgery or near-death kinds of experiences in the lives of bosses, parents or parent figures. There will be much dealing with death and issues to do with death in the coming year.
The solar eclipse of the 14th can bring confrontations with death, although usually on the psychological level. The cosmos wants you to have a better understanding of it. It brings dramatic financial changes to the spouse, partner or current love. Financial corrections are necessary. A parent or parent figure in your life has personal dramas – perhaps a near-death experience or surgery (another type of near-death experience). He or she will need to redefine his or her image and presentation to the world. There can be repairs needed to the home too.
This eclipse impacts on Neptune, your planet of friends. So there are dramas in the lives of friends. Friendships often get tested. High-tech equipment becomes more temperamental and often needs repair or replacement. Make sure your passwords are strong and that your anti-hacking, anti-virus software is up to date. Back up important files.
Your financial planet Mercury will be ‘out of bounds’ from the 13th onwards. Thus you are outside your normal sphere in financial matters. Perhaps there are no financial solutions to be found in the usual places and you have to search elsewhere. Perhaps money-making opportunities come to you from ‘outside’ your sphere. Mercury will be in your 8th house until the 21st so bear in mind our previous discussions about de-cluttering and detoxing the financial life. You prosper by cutting away what doesn’t belong there.
When Jupiter and Saturn move into Aquarius, health will become more delicate in the coming year and will need more attention. This month, though, health is good. With the exception of Jupiter and Saturn (and that is only later in the month) the other planets are in harmonious aspect or are leaving you alone.

Understanding a Gemini (#ulink_84f35874-95ca-518e-87ee-a3aa1289c95a)
Gemini is to society what the nervous system is to the body. It does not introduce any new information but is a vital transmitter of impulses from the senses to the brain and vice versa. The nervous system does not judge or weigh these impulses – it only conveys information. And it does so perfectly.
This analogy should give you an indication of a Gemini’s role in society. Geminis are the communicators and conveyors of information. To Geminis the truth or falsehood of information is irrelevant, they only transmit what they see, hear or read about. Thus they are capable of spreading the most outrageous rumours as well as conveying truth and light. Geminis sometimes tend to be unscrupulous in their communications and can do both great good or great evil with their power. This is why the sign of Gemini is symbolized by twins: Geminis have a dual nature.
Their ability to convey a message – to communicate with such ease – makes Geminis ideal teachers, writers and media and marketing people. This is helped by the fact that Mercury, the ruling planet of Gemini, also rules these activities.
Geminis have the gift of the gab. And what a gift this is! They can make conversation about anything, anywhere, at any time. There is almost nothing that is more fun to Geminis than a good conversation – especially if they can learn something new as well. They love to learn and they love to teach. To deprive a Gemini of conversation, or of books and magazines, is cruel and unusual punishment.
Geminis are almost always excellent students and take well to education. Their minds are generally stocked with all kinds of information, trivia, anecdotes, stories, news items, rarities, facts and statistics. Thus they can support any intellectual position that they care to take. They are awesome debaters and, if involved in politics, make good orators. Geminis are so verbally smooth that even if they do not know what they are talking about, they can make you think that they do. They will always dazzle you with their brilliance.
Finance
Geminis tend to be more concerned with the wealth of learning and ideas than with actual material wealth. As mentioned, they excel in professions that involve writing, teaching, sales and journalism – and not all of these professions pay very well. But to sacrifice intellectual needs merely for money is unthinkable to a Gemini. Geminis strive to combine the two. Cancer is on Gemini’s solar 2nd house of money cusp, which indicates that Geminis can earn extra income (in a harmonious and natural way) from investments in residential property, restaurants and hotels. Given their verbal skills, Geminis love to bargain and negotiate in any situation, and especially when it has to do with money.
The Moon rules Gemini’s 2nd solar house. The Moon is not only the fastest-moving planet in the zodiac but actually moves through every sign and house every 28 days. No other heavenly body matches the Moon for swiftness or the ability to change quickly. An analysis of the Moon – and lunar phenomena in general – describes Gemini’s financial attitudes very well. Geminis are financially versatile and flexible; they can earn money in many different ways. Their financial attitudes and needs seem to change daily. Their feelings about money change also: sometimes they are very enthusiastic about it, at other times they could not care less.
For a Gemini, financial goals and money are often seen only as means of supporting a family; these things have little meaning otherwise.
The Moon, as Gemini’s money planet, has another important message for Gemini financially: in order for Geminis to realize their financial potential they need to develop more of an understanding of the emotional side of life. They need to combine their awesome powers of logic with an understanding of human psychology. Feelings have their own logic; Geminis need to learn this and apply it to financial matters.
