: gemini - your year in the stars :
The Sun enters your sign on May 20 and your astrological year begins. Looking at trends over the next twelve months the underlying theme of this period impacts primarily on your relationships, especially those of a private and personal nature, and in the professional arena too.

Some of the astrological news is very good, say from a financial perspective for example, and should work out with just a modicum of caution and a little self-restraint on your part, because none of this will tolerate carelessness and extravagance. Others elements take more careful handling, although it can all happen constructively in the end, if you deal sensibly with the astrology coming your way. Nevertheless, this will take plenty of self-awareness and a big change from some of the attitudes that might have become quite ingrained over the past few years. Gemini is the first air sign of the zodiac and as such does not benefit from the powers of self-analysis accompanying those that come later. It is still possible to make a very big mess of your life indeed, if you are unable to stand back from your own perspective for a while.
Planet or not, this is all down to Pluto, one of the most potent astrological indicators. This has been causing so much upheaval in your closest relationships for so long, that you probably just think it’s a normal part of life now. It isn’t and other people’s relationships don’t progress like yours, so it’s time to look around and to get a grip. The good side of Pluto means passion, intensity, power, commitment and depth, often a huge sexual component and the sort of relationship experiences you certainly won’t ever forget. The downside means jealousy, possessiveness, power struggles, control issues and dominance, fighting over money and material things, sexual complications, abuse, violence and the kind of unhealthy fascinations you know are bad for you and yet from which you can’t seem to escape. Anybody who’s experienced the potency of Pluto in their love life, is never the same again. It can change you for the better and make how you lived beforehand seem shallow and meaningless. Or it can destroy you, rip out your insides and leave you gasping for breath, with a roller coaster ride that though addictive and compelling, has very little to do with love.

If this is already ringing enough alarm bells to make the Hunchback of Notre Dame start reaching for his tranquillizers, you need to know this is an influence that’s been around for ages, because with Pluto so far out in the solar system it takes forever for this planet to make any sort of serious advances and to complete the transformations that it must, while it’s machinations push you to the edge and often beyond. In fact the past couple of years have probably been a big improvement on those preceding and you might have reached the conclusion that you don’t need to worry anymore. But that isn’t true and this is just a temporary respite, with much of your future progress still resting on what you decide now. Look at June-November 2008 as a taste of things to come, and then from January 2009 onwards. You need to get this right!
: gemini - may 2008/may 2009 :
So you have to consider things intelligently and sensibly, using all of that famous logic and the massive brainpower for which you are so well regarded, leaving aside the emotion that has become such an issue and the suppression of which has damaged so much so badly. Acknowledge how you feel because it’s yours, when it’s the fear and denial of your feelings that has caused you to act in such confusing ways, that others have greeted with bewilderment and often frank disbelief. In the end there’s an element of balancing and of reconciling two opposing principles, with the need to include others in your life while still remaining free within yourself, that’s what matters…

Your career is one way in which to pursue a more individualistic angle, without causing more stress in your personal life, so if partners have a problem with that then serious discussions really do need to happen. You’d be wise welcoming changes on the job and even if you aren’t working, keeping time aside and to yourself for those things that you want to do, aside from regular involvements or your responsibilities at home. These probably prove considerable, and so in many ways the luckiest Geminis will be those hitting this year single, because then there is the chance for you to build a firm foundation as you work on your connection with the partner of your choice, rather than allowing supposed obligations and responsibilities to overwhelm whatever was between you in the first place. If anything is going to kill this year then, it’s that. Remember, you need to be aware of this especially. For a peaceful and happy future, it’s very important you do this, okay?
