to collect things. They like to amass possessions. There’s nothing wrong with this but sometimes they do overdo it. The period after the 20th is a good time to get rid of the things that you don’t use or need. Clear the decks so that the new and better can come in.
A yearly love and social peak still operates until the 23rd.

Health and energy are much improved now. Optimism is high. You are catching the lucky breaks in life. A happy and successful month ahead.
The shift of planetary power to the upper half of the Horoscope becomes even stronger this month as Venus moves over the horizon on the 5th. At least 70 per cent of the planets are above the horizon this month. As a bonus, your career planet Uranus will start moving forward on the 26th. Mental clarity is happening in the career. Much progress will be made in coming months.
Though technically your yearly love and social peak is over with, there is still good news in the love department. Venus, the ruler of the Horoscope, spends most of the month in your 7th house. You are looking out for others very much these days (which is as it should be). You are putting others first and you are more popular in general. You are not sitting around waiting for the phone to ring but are proactive in love. If you like someone, they know it. You go after what you want. Pluto, your love planet, receives very nice aspects from the 22nd onwards. Romance is happening or developing as it should.
Your 8th house of transformation and regeneration has been powerful since November 22. This indicates the prosperity of the spouse, partner or current love. He or she is in a yearly financial peak and is more generous with you. They are in need of financial reorganization and have been feeling squeezed moneywise, but this is one of their better financial periods.
There are things in our lives in need of resurrection – perhaps a project, a friendship, an area of the body. This is the time to work on these things. Nature is engaged in resurrection continuously. It is not something alien to us. An old year dies and a new one is born. An old month dies and a new one is born. An old day dies and a new one is born. Death is never the end, only a new birth deeply disguised.
Many of you are involved in projects involving personal transformation and reinvention. These projects go well too.
Mars makes dynamic aspects with Pluto and Uranus from the 5th to the 12th. This impacts more on the spouse or partner than on you. Let him or her take it easy during this period. They should drive more defensively and avoid confrontations and stressful activities.

Understanding a Gemini
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
