2023 – Gemini

Solar Eclipses/ The Nodes: The zones being activated are the zones of friends and children, signaling karmic events and lessons through these close relationships. In fact, these are the zones of love given and received, so there’s a lot to share and spread around. For all signs: The underlying drive to form balanced relationships hinges on financial considerations. This is due to Lunar Eclipses in the signs of money, Taurus and Scorpio.

Saturn: Saturn enters your 10th house of career, business and reputation and much depends on how happy you currently are with your job. If happy, then promotions could arrive in the next 2 years, and probably after spending long hours at work this year. If your unhappy then it’s time to proactively take time to look elsewhere. Taking the lead, proactively, is much less stressful than having to react to job changes. Retirement may be in the cards for others. Issues connected to parents may also develop, especially Dad.

Jupiter: Jupiter energizes the zones socializing and friendships, as well as kicking back and enjoying life. With the job being so demanding this year, it makes sense that “chilling out” could be preferred. For the creatively inclined this could be a fantastic year for inspiration.

Retrograde Mars: You’re in the spotlight, and boy things are happening! Mars indicates new beginnings, and a new zest for life, and you could find yourself busier than ever. Watch for accidents, which are usually preventable, by not letting impatience or impulsiveness get the better of you. Exercising and physical activity adds charisma to an already blazing aura.

Retrograde Venus: You may be in the market for a new car or perhaps find yourself “running the roads”, all in the pursuit of fun. This could be a time for more interactions with others, and bouncing ideas around could be just what feeds you. Siblings or neighbors may also be featured in a pleasant development.

Gemini New Moon: takes place on June18th and marks your “New Year’s Day” in astrological terms. You should start feeling more like your robust self, full of drive and passion to get something started. Although New Moons have a cyclic 19 year pattern, they don’t necessarily activate planets at each successive 19 year, thus making each New Moon special in its own way. Gemini Full Moon: takes place on November 27th, and lasts approximately 3 days. With a contact between Mars and the Full Moon emotions could run high, and tempers flare. Be mindful and walk away from irritating situations.

It’s a “New” year and this typically means a year for new beginnings, ventures and lots of energy. This is not couch potato energy either, as there are times when lots of things are happening at once. Everything that ever was or is starts with a new beginning, and this is the year for you.

Special message for your sign: With the retrograde of Mars in Gemini, you are on the path to some major new beginnings, lasting for the next 2 years. Plan on getting more involved, as an “ants in your pants” kind of energy is guiding your actions. This is not about laying back and taking it easy, but rather a time for more passion in your life. Grab it and go!

The sun sign forecasts are generic in nature and may not apply to everyone as described. They are meant to highlight certain energies that are general in nature; however their impact may differ based on your unique birth chart. These forecasts are intended to “clue you in” to the planetary energies, so that you are better prepared to make the most of them when they arrive. Conversely you can avoid disappointment and aggravation knowing what planet is doing what thing and at what particular time. Your unique birth chart depicts where the planets were located depending on the date, place and time (if known). This blueprint provides insights into your nature, your preferences and what you’re seeking as a soul. With each of us on different paths, with different lessons to learn, any tool that helps us on that journey is a tool worth using. May you speak your truth, walk your talk and enjoy the journey!
