Your Personal Horoscope 2014: Month-by-month forecasts for every sign

Geminis bring their natural garrulousness and brilliance into their love life and social life as well. A good talk or a verbal joust is an interesting prelude to romance. Their only problem in love is that their intellect is too cool and passionless to incite ardour in others. Emotions sometimes disturb them, and their partners tend to complain about this. If you are in love with a Gemini you must understand why this is so. Geminis avoid deep passions because these would interfere with their ability to think and communicate. If they are cool towards you, understand that this is their nature.

Nevertheless, Geminis must understand that it is one thing to talk about love and another actually to love – to feel it and radiate it. Talking about love glibly will get them nowhere. They need to feel it and act on it. Love is not of the intellect but of the heart. If you want to know how a Gemini feels about love you should not listen to what he or she says, but rather, observe what he or she does. Geminis can be quite generous to those they love.

Geminis like their partners to be refined, well educated and well travelled. If their partners are more wealthy than they, that is all the better. If you are in love with a Gemini you had better be a good listener as well.

The ideal relationship for the Gemini is a relationship of the mind. They enjoy the physical and emotional aspects, of course, but if the intellectual communion is not there they will suffer.

Home and Domestic Life

At home the Gemini can be uncharacteristically neat and meticulous. They tend to want their children and partner to live up to their idealistic standards. When these standards are not met they moan and criticize. However, Geminis are good family people and like to serve their families in practical and useful ways.

The Gemini home is comfortable and pleasant. They like to invite people over and they make great hosts. Geminis are also good at repairs and improvements around the house – all fuelled by their need to stay active and occupied with something they like to do. Geminis have many hobbies and interests that keep them busy when they are home alone.

Geminis understand and get along well with their children, mainly because they are very youthful people themselves. As great communicators, Geminis know how to explain things to children; in this way they gain their children’s love and respect. Geminis also encourage children to be creative and talkative, just like they are.

Horoscope for 2014

Major Trends

You have been in a cycle of prosperity since June of 2012 and it continues in the year ahead – especially during the first half of the year. More on this later on.

Pluto has been in your 8th house for some years now and will be there for many more years. This shows that you are dealing with death and death issues. Perhaps you have had some ‘near death’ kinds of experiences or experienced the loss of a loved one. Understanding death is perhaps just as important as understanding life, and this is the cosmic agenda here.

Neptune made an important and long-term move in 2012. He moved from your 9th house into your 10th house of career. This is bringing a new sense of idealistic fervour to your career. It is not enough for you to merely make money and be successful in the worldly sense. Your career has to have some spiritual meaning; it has to involve the spiritual good of humanity as a whole. There’s more on this later.

Uranus has been in your 11th house of friends since 2011. Thus there is great ferment happening here. Friendships are being tested and many are going by the wayside. By the time Uranus is finished with you, you will be in an entirely new circle of friends.

Health is basically good, but there have been a few scares in recent years and perhaps surgery as well. This area is still unstable in the year ahead. More details later.

Jupiter will move into your 3rd house of communication and intellectual interests on July 16. You are always a gifted communicator, but now your gifts become more enhanced and perhaps more recognized. Your already sharp mind becomes even sharper.

There is foreign travel in your chart after July 16, and next year too.

Your major areas of interest in the coming year are finance (until July 16); communication and intellectual interests (from July 16 onwards); fun, creativity and children (until July 26); health and work (almost all year, until December 24); sex, personal transformation, personal reinvention, death, death issues, and life after death; career; and friends, groups, group activities and online activities.

Your paths of greatest fulfilment this year will be finance (until July 16); communication and intellectual interests (from July 16 onwards); health and work (until February 19); and fun, creativity and children (from February 19 onwards).

Health

(Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health and not a medical one. In days of yore there was no difference, both of these perspectives were identical. But in these times there could be quite a difference. For a medical perspective, please consult your doctor or health practitioner.)

Health and vitality are basically good this year. There is only one long-term planet in stressful alignment with you – Neptune. The rest are either in harmonious aspect or leaving you alone. It is true that some of you might be needing surgery, and if this is the case, it seems successful. You recover well. Basic fundamental vitality is very important in recovering from surgery and you have this.

Your 6th house of health is powerful this year, and thus there is much focus and attention on it. With Pluto as your health planet, you have a predisposition to surgery – a tendency to see it as a ‘quick fix’ to health problems. But keep in mind that Pluto also rules detox. In many cases detoxification will often do more good than surgery, although the process is much slower. Get a second opinion if you are considering surgery.

Good though the health is, you can make it even better. Pay more attention to the following areas – the vulnerable areas in the year ahead: the colon, bladder and sexual organs. These are always an issue for you. The colon needs to be clean and clear of all toxic build-ups (colonic irrigation might be a good idea). Safe sex and sexual moderation is also important. The spine, knees, teeth, bones, skin and overall skeletal alignment are also very important this year – and for many years to come. Regular back massage will be good. Knees should also be massaged and given more support when exercising. Regular visits to a chiropractor or osteopath are a good idea; the spine needs to be kept in right alignment. (Yoga, Pilates, the Alexander Technique or the Feldenkrais Method are excellent therapies for the spine.) The gall bladder is also vulnerable this year, and back massage will help the gall bladder as well as the back. There are reflexes along the spine that go to all the organs of the body.

If more attention is paid to these areas, many problems can be prevented. And even if they can’t be totally prevented, they can be lessened to a great extent.

Your health planet Pluto is in the sign of Capricorn, which rules the spine, knees, teeth, bones, skin and overall skeletal alignment – hence their importance in your overall health. Saturn, the planet that rules these areas, is in your 6th house of health – reinforcing what we say here.

In the past few years we have seen a lot of dramatic changes to the health regime, and this continues in the year ahead. These changes will basically be good. Favourable numbers for health are 8, 11, 13 and 20. If you can somehow incorporate these into your health regime it would be helpful. If you are saying affirmations or doing exercises, then do them in sets of 8, 11, 13 or 20. Creative Geminis will find other ways to use these numbers.

Home and Family

Home and family are always important to you. Mercury, the ruler of your Horoscope, is also the ruler of your 4th house of home and family. This shows how close this area is to your heart. It also shows a special bond between you and one of the parents or parent figures in your life – a special closeness, a feeling that you are ‘one flesh’. (Your personal Horoscope cast for your exact time of birth could modify this.)

This year though, home and family seems fairly neutral: your 4th house is basically empty. Only short-term planets will move through there, and their effects will be temporary. Thus the Cosmos gives you free will in this area. You have the freedom to make of this what you will – the Cosmos neither pushes you one way nor another. But with lack of interest, the tendency is towards the status quo. We generally don’t make changes unless we are ‘pushed’ by circumstances. I also read this as satisfaction with the way things are. No need to make dramatic changes.

A parent or parent figure seems to have moved in recent years, but this year there are no moves seen. In fact, moves don’t even seem advisable for a while. A parent or parent figure may be undergoing surgery. This could have happened in recent years too, but the aspect is in effect in the year ahead as well. One of the parent figures is undergoing great spiritual transformation. The body is being refined and sensitized. Alcohol and drugs should be avoided.

Siblings or sibling figures in your life enter a cycle of prosperity on July 16. They travel more than usual and live the ‘high life’. Moves, however, are not advisable this year.

Children of the appropriate age might not move, but they seem to be investing in the home. Serious renovations are likely. Their marriages or relationships seem highly unstable though. Grandchildren of the appropriate age are having a status quo home and domestic year. Love and possible marriage is happening for them later on in the year.

Finance and Career

As we mentioned, you have been in a prosperity cycle since 2012. Wealth and financial opportunities increase, and assets you own increase in value. You are catching the lucky financial breaks.

Jupiter, your love planet, is in your money house until July 16. This indicates business partnerships or joint ventures. This was the case last year and the trend is still very much in effect for the first half of 2014. This transit also shows the importance of the social dimension in earnings. Who you know – your social connections – is just as important as how much you have. Financial statements are wonderful tools, but in your case they would be inaccurate. They would not show your hidden assets – your wealthy friends and the financial support of friends.

A lot of your socializing this year seems business related. There’s more on this later.

Jupiter generically rules publishing, travel and higher education. Many Geminis are writers, so it looks as if this is a good year to have your work published (as it was last year too). I also like these fields as investments – publishers, private collages and the travel business.

Investments in foreign countries or in foreign companies also seem profitable this year. You are doing more business-related travel as well.

Pluto has been in your 8th house of transformation for some years now. The ruler of your 8th house, Saturn, is in ‘mutual reception’ with Pluto, which indicates wonderful co-operation between the two planets. Each is a guest in the other’s house. Thus there is good access to outside money. Your line of credit should increase this year. Your ability to obtain or pay down debt (depending on your need) is good. If you have good ideas it seems easy to attract outside investment to your projects. Also, you will have opportunities to invest in troubled or even bankrupt properties or companies and turn them around.

It is said that the only major difference between a poor person and a rich person is that the rich person has easy access to outside money. Business runs on credit. Rarely is personal money used. So this easy access to credit that you have is another signal of financial success. The only caveat here is that credit should be used and not abused. And you are in a cycle where you are learning the difference between constructive and destructive debt.

On July 16 Jupiter will leave your money house. I read this as you having mostly attained your financial goals (we never fully attain them as there is always more, more to do and more to be had – but there is a sense of satiation). Instead you will start turning your attention to your true love and true gift – communication and intellectual interests. On the financial level, Jupiter’s move from the 2nd to the 3rd house of communication shows increased income from savings and investments. This generally comes through increased dividend or interest income.

The Moon is your financial planet. As regular readers know, she is the fastest of all the planets. Where fast-moving Mercury will move through all your signs and houses in a year, the Moon does this every month. Month after month. Thus there are many short-term trends in finance that are best covered in the monthly reports.

Your favourable financial numbers are 2, 4, 7 and 9.

Love and Social Life

The years 2012 and 2013 were exceptionally strong in terms of your love and social life. Many of you married or got involved in relationships that were ‘like’ a marriage. Some of you met people you would consider marrying – people who were ‘marriage material’. The 7th house of love and marriage is not a house of power this year, and I read this as a basic satisfaction with things as they are. There is no need for dramatic changes. Married couples will tend to stay married and singles will tend to stay single.

In 2013 the aspects were favourable for business-type partnerships and joint ventures – this too is a form of marriage but on the economic level. This can still happen in 2014 as well.

With Jupiter as your love planet you have a natural affinity with wealthy, jet-setting types of people – and this year even more so than usual. Jupiter spends the first half of the year in your money house. Wealth is definitely a romantic turn-on.

However, wealth alone is not enough. Jupiter in the sign of Cancer shows that the beloved must have strong family values. Emotional intimacy – emotional sharing and nurturing – is very important in love, perhaps just as important as the physical aspects. There is such a thing as ‘emotional sex’. The sexual act has to happen emotionally as well as physically.

Like last year you show love in material ways – though giving financial support and material gifts. And this is how you feel loved as well. Until July 16 the still-unattached Gemini finds love opportunities as he or she pursues financial goals, and perhaps with people who are involved in his or her finances. Love attitudes start to change after July 16 as the love planet moves into Leo, your 3rd house. The mental connection becomes important in love. Communication is always important to you but now it becomes a love issue. There is a need for mental compatibility, a need to fall in love with the mind as well as the body. Ease of communication is a romantic turn-on. Speech is a form of foreplay. The mind is an erogenous zone.
