Gemini (May 21 — June 20)
“A poet can survive everything but a misprint.”
Hello 2014!
Oscar Wilde
Your life is an ongoing revolution. Many of you have left groups you previously identified with to explore different lifestyles you thought you would never experience. This year new contacts continue to challenge your old ways. You see how much your life has changed since 2001, especially with residential moves and job changes from 200407. It’s important now to raise your sights. Don’t settle for as little as you might have years ago. Accept new friends and influences that expand your world because they will fit in better with what you want for yourself in the future. Think positive thoughts because that’s how everything begins: First comes the thought and from the thought springs the word. From the word springs the deed, then the deed becomes habit. Eventually, habit hardens into character, which is why you must watch your thoughts and keep them loving and kind.
Mars Attacks!
Every two years, Mars stays in one sign for six weeks. This year is different. Mars is in one sign for eight months! While this is tough for some, it’s fun city for Geminis because Mars will hover in the part of your chart governing love affairs, romance, vacations, parties, social events, the theatre, the arts, sports events and playful times with children. Pleasure and amusements will be your focus. You will demand opportunities for self-expression. Self-denial ain’t in the picture. This increased emphasis on romance will make your libido hum. Sex will become a form of selfexpression because your desire nature will be strong. Mars will boost your selfconfidence and make you attack life vigorously. Physical activities will appeal and you will be more competitive than ever. Naturally, others will see you as someone with a definite personality. Regardless of your own sex, you will easily make friends with men, especially testosterone types, not a “girlie man.”
Money — the Second Most Important Thing
When it comes to work and career, you’ll experience a contradiction this year, but let me be clear about one thing: You will become richer. But it’s tricky. Fiery Mars wants you to have fun and strut your stuff; it will not encourage discipline and hard work. But stern Saturn has other plans for you. In its 30-year cycle, you’re at the point where you’re busting your buns to prove to the world what you can do. You will work so hard this year, you’ll be overwhelmed. What you accomplish in 2014 will bear fruit the next year in 2015 when you step out onto the world stage. Exceptions to the undisciplined influence of Mars will be the arts, the hospitality industry, the entertainment world and professional sports because you will be ablaze with energy to create — write, act, draw, paint, sculpt, sing, perform. And in sports, you’ll be more competitive than you’ve ever been before in your life. You will embrace the power of positive thinking and your success will be based on your belief in yourself.
Love is Chemistry, Sex is Physics
Flirtations and physical lovemaking will be paramount this year. Your desire to express yourself will manifest not only creatively but also sexually. You will meet people through daily contacts as well as through siblings and relatives. And since you’re working so hard, you might impress someone special at work. Lucky Jupiter will polish and improve all your communications with others. Furthermore, you won’t hesitate to be frank. Another thing that will help you approach others about sex and fun vacations with lovers is that you will expect more for yourself. Jupiter won’t let you have a loser mentality. Extended travel and chances to talk to lots of people will increase your social circle; and because your attitude to life is more generous and understanding, this makes you more attractive. Home Suite Home For starters, increased money and possessions will improve your private life. You can pay down debt and make where you live look more attractive. You can be generous to family members, especially since vacations are a given this year. You might also save money for real-estate opportunities that arise in 2015-16. While it’s true fiery Mars will create disputes with kids, they won’t be serious conflicts. Discussions with siblings and relatives will encourage your big ideas. You will be clear about what you want and work to put everything in order. Take care of your body so that you’re shipshape for 2015-16 when you make your push out into the world.
A Sneak Peek beyond 2014
This “peek” is not that sneaky because you already know that 2015-16 will be a bellwether moment in your life when you will enter the world in a more public and engaged way, especially compared to the last 15 years. Your focus and ambition will grow! From the autumn of 2015 into 2016 will be one of the best times for real-estate deals and speculation. Plan on a major vacation in 2016-17.
Your Gemini Mantra for 2014
“Play hard, party hard!”
Mercury Retrograde in 2014
Expect delays, lost items and confused communications! Best to finish things, not begin them. These are poor times to buy cars, trucks, bikes, computers, printers and phones. (Dates below are actual retrograde dates and buffer dates. Mercury slows down before it goes retrograde and, likewise, it takes a while to catch up to the degree it was at when it first went retrograde. Use buffer times for big purchases like cars.)
