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 2015
Major Trends
You have just come out of a strong prosperity cycle. The years 2012 to 2014 have been happy and prosperous. Money is less of a focus these days however. Most of you have more or less attained to your financial goals and now it’s time to follow your greatest loves of reading, studying, communicating and expanding your knowledge base. Jupiter entered your 3rd house of communication in July 2014 and is there until August 11 this year. Those of you with a lot of knowledge and expertise should start disseminating this knowledge through the written or spoken word. There’s more on this later.
The love life has been good over the past few years. Love and social opportunities sought you out. Many of you married or entered into serious relationships during this time. Now, your relationships get tested. The honeymoon period is over. Now the cosmos will show you if love is real or not. More details later.
Jupiter will move into your 4th house of home and family on August 11 and stay there well into next year. This often shows moves, renovations, or the acquisition of additional homes. Home and family will be a happy area in the year ahead.
Neptune has been in your 10th house of career for some years now and will be there for many more years. Thus you are more idealistic about your career. You long for a career that is meaningful, that benefits the whole planet and all people. You are being shown how to do this. More on this later.
Friendships have been unstable for some years now and this trend continues. Basically you are learning how to handle social instability.
Your most important areas of interest in 2015 are communication and intellectual interests (especially until August 11); home and family (from August 11 onwards); health and work (from June 15 to September 18); love, romance and social activities (January 1 to June 15 and September 18 onwards); sex, personal transformation and re-invention, occult studies, debt and repayment of debt; career; and friends, groups and group activities. You have so many interests this year, be careful not to spread yourself too thin.
Your areas of greatest fulfilment this year are communication and intellectual interests (until August 11); home and family (from August 11 onwards); and children, fun and personal creativity (until November 13).
Health
(Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health and not a medical one. In days of yore there was no difference, these perspectives were identical. But now there could be quite a difference. For a medical perspective, please consult your doctor or health practitioner.)
Health has basically been good over the past few years. Certainly there have been periods where your health was less easy than usual, but these periods came from the short-term planetary transits – they were temporary blips rather than trends.
In the year ahead health should be good too, but more delicate than in the past few years. In December of last year, Saturn moved into Sagittarius, in stressful aspect to you, while Neptune has also been in stressful aspect for some years now. And on August 11, Jupiter makes stressful aspects too. Thus health needs more attention this year, especially from September 18 onwards.
The most important thing is to watch your energy levels. Do your best to maintain high levels of energy. If you are tired, rest, and in general try to get more sleep. Try to arrange your activities so that more gets done with less effort, and delegate tasks wherever possible.
Give more attention to the following areas this year – these are the most vulnerable areas this year: the lungs, arms, shoulders and respiratory system; the colon, bladder and sexual organs; and the spine, knees, teeth, bones, skin and overall skeletal alignment. The lungs, arms, shoulders and respiratory system are always important for Gemini and the reflexes to these areas are shown in the chart. Arms and shoulders should be regularly massaged. Don’t allow excess tension to build up in the shoulders. Air purity is always important for you and you might want to invest in an air purifier.
The reflexes for the colon, bladder and sexual organs are also shown in our chart. The colon needs to be kept clean and regular colonics might be a good idea. Safe sex and sexual moderation are important too.
Regular back and knee massages will be useful (the chart shows the specific reflexes), as will regular visits to a chiropractor or osteopath. The vertebrae need to be kept in the right alignment. Yoga, Pilates, the Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais are excellent therapies for the spine and posture. Give the knees more support when you exercise. If you’re out in the sun remember to use a good sun screen. Regular visits to the dentist might also be a good idea.
Pluto, the planet that rules surgery, is your health planet so you have a natural tendency to surgery; you tend to see it as a quick fix. In the past two years (and for part of this year) Saturn has been in your 6th house of health, which reinforces this tendency. Keep in mind though that this also indicates that detox regimes are good for you.
When I look at your Horoscope on an overall level, I see a lack of the air element in the chart. There will be periods in the year where there is more air than usual (January 20 to February 18, May 21 to June 20 and September 23 to October 23) but this element is weak on an overall level. Make sure you are getting enough air. Watch your breathing and try to breathe deeply as often as possible. Regular breathing exercises will be beneficial.
Home and Family
Your 4th house of home and family becomes powerful – in a happy way – from August 11 onwards when Jupiter moves there. It will be strong next year as well. If you’ve been planning a move – and many of you have – this is the year (and early next year too) to do it. If you’ve been planning to buy a second or third home, or to buy that timeshare, the year ahead looks very good.
Jupiter in the 4th house doesn’t always bring ‘literal’ moves. Sometimes people renovate or enlarge the existing home, or install expensive items in the home. The whole effect is ‘as if’ a move had happened. The current home is larger and happier than before.
The family unit also expands under this transit. Generally this happens through births or marriages (and Gemini women of childbearing age become much more fertile from August 11 onwards), but I have seen where it happens through meeting people who are ‘like’ family to you – people who play this kind of role in your life. Family support will be good this year. A parent or parent figure is prospering and is more generous towards you. The net worth of the family as a whole is increased.
The 4th house rules other things besides home and family. It rules the subconscious mind and our ‘habitual’ moods, feelings and emotional reactions – the subjects that psychologists study. So this is a year for making important psychological breakthroughs, for understanding the origins of these things. Once the origins of emotional reactions are understood they can be changed to more positive ones.
Jupiter is your love planet. His transit through your 4th house gives us other messages too. There will be a lot more entertaining from home and much more socializing with family members this year. This transit also shows that you are beautifying the home, buying objet d’art and redecorating. You might not necessarily buy the trinkets – they can come to you as gifts – But by the end of the year your home will be more beautiful. This all looks happy. Redecoration projects will go well from August 11 onwards, but especially between October 8 and November 8. Construction projects or major repairs go well from September 25 to November 8.
A parent or parent figure is prospering, as we have mentioned, but he or she also seems to be travelling more this year. They will need to watch their weight, especially from August 11 onwards. However, a move is not advisable this year.
Siblings and sibling figures are also prospering. Marriage is seen in the chart (this could have happened last year too.) A move this year is not advisable for them either. Children and children figures are having a spiritual kind of year – a year of interior growth. Looks like renovations are going on in their homes or rooms.
Finance and Career
As we have mentioned, you have just come through a two-year cycle of prosperity. Financial goals should have been attained – and if they have not been completely attained, much progress has been made towards reaching them. Money is not a big issue this year. The money house is basically empty; only short-term planets will move through there – briefly – in the year ahead.
However, in spite of the empty money house, I’m still seeing prosperity. Jupiter is in your 3rd house of communication until August 11. Many Geminis (a disproportionate percentage) are involved in communication fields – journalism, teaching, writing, sales, marketing and PR – and this is a great year for these activities. There is success and good fortune here.
The Horoscope is also signalling a new car and new, high-end communication equipment. This could have materialized last year, but if not, this will happen in the year ahead.
Jupiter moving into your 4th house in August shows good family support, as we have mentioned, but also good fortune in the purchase or sale of a home.
One of the problems with an empty money house is lack of attention. In most cases, this is a good sign – you don’t pay too much attention because there’s no need to. Your finances are OK and there’s no need to make dramatic changes or concentrate too hard on them. However, if you are facing financial challenges, not enough attention being paid could be the root cause of them. In this case you will have to force yourself to pay more attention – even when you don’t feel like it.
The past two years have not only been good financially but careerwise as well. Many of you have had promotions, or have received honours and recognition. Your professional achievements have been appreciated. This year we don’t see anything special careerwise, but nor do we see any disasters.
Ever since Neptune moved into your career house in 2012 you’ve been idealistic in career matters. This is a long-term trend which will continue for many more years. If you’re following a worldly, mundane kind of career, you can enhance it by getting involved in charities and altruistic causes – causes that you believe in. These things are good in their own right, but in your case they will lead to connections that will enhance your career and public standing. In fact, in most cases, you are better known for your charitable and spiritual achievements than for your professional ones.
The other message we get from this position is the importance of intuition in career decisions. The intuition is basically excellent and needs to be trusted. In the short term intuition can lead to moves that seem strange and illogical. With hindsight, however, they are seen as highly logical and rational. There is really no conflict between logic and intuition. Intuition merely sees data not seen by the material, prosaic mind.
Our regular readers undoubtedly know that your financial planet is the Moon, Gemini, the fastest of all the planets. In any given month the Moon will move through all the signs and houses of your Horoscope. Thus money can come to you in a variety of ways and through a variety of people. It all depends on where the Moon is on any given day (and the aspects she receives). These show the short-term financial trends which are best dealt with in the monthly reports.
Love and Social Life
The social life has been active and happy for the past few years. You’ve made many new friends and have entered serious love relationships. Now it is time to consolidate, to separate the wheat from the chaff, the fruit from the peel.
Saturn is mostly in your 7th house this year (he will be absent for only three months, approximately, from June 15 to September 18), and will remain there for two more years. This means your love relationships and friendships will get tested. These testings are usually not pleasant but they serve a good purpose. Good relationships will survive and get even better. So-so relationships will most likely dissolve. And it is good that they do not last. The cosmos wants the best for you, anything less gets swept away.
In the good times, when the sun is shining and the birds are singing and everything is honeymoonish, we don’t really know if love is real. In such conditions social harmony is natural. It is only in the tough times that we learn the depth (or lack thereof) of love. This is what is happening these days.
Singles are not likely to marry this year – nor does it seem advisable. In general there is less dating, less partying and less going out. This is a year (and this holds for the next two years) where the focus should be on quality not quantity. Fewer friends, but good ones, are preferable to hordes of lukewarm ones. Fewer dates, but quality ones, are preferable to loads of so-so dates.
Saturn in your 7th house can create a perception of coldness and aloofness to others. You are not like this, but others could perceive you that way. They respond to this Saturn energy going through you. Thus it is good to project warmth and love to others. This will take conscious effort on your part.
Your love planet Jupiter will move through two signs and houses of your Horoscope this year. Until August 11, he will be in your 3rd house. This indicates that mental compatibility is important for you in love. Love is shown through communication. You need someone you can talk to and share ideas with – someone on the same page intellectually. Ease of communication is an important turn-on in love. Also this transit shows that romantic opportunities occur close to home (perhaps with neighbours). There will be no need to travel far and wide in search for love. Romantic opportunities will also happen in intellectual settings – at school, the library or at a lecture. You find love as you pursue your intellectual interests.
On August 11 the love planet will move into your 4th house of home and family. This signals a shift in your love attitudes and needs. From now on you crave emotional support and intimacy as much as physical or intellectual intimacy. The person who can share feelings with you is the one that attracts you. Romantic opportunities still occur close to home and can happen through family connections or through the intervention of family members. You like people with strong family values.
Often with this kind of transit an old flame from the past makes an appearance. Sometimes this happens literally – the actual person comes back into your life. Sometimes the appearance is more allegorical. You meet someone with the same personality patterns or appearance as the old flame. On the emotional level it is ‘as if’ you are with the old flame. The cosmic purpose of these things is to resolve old issues so that you can progress further in your love life.
Self-improvement
Saturn in your 7th house of love for most of the year shows a need, as we have mentioned, to project love and warmth to others. This can be hard work at times. You have to project warmth even when you don’t really feel it, psychologically speaking. A good meditation for this is ‘DIVINE LOVE FLOWS THROUGH MY CONSCIOUSNESS NOW’. This meditation takes the intention out of your hands. Regardless of what you personally feel, the love from a Higher Power is flowing through you. If this meditation is practised regularly the love life will improve dramatically.
