Areas of Expansion in 2017 for Gemini:

Your Gemini 2017 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Romance
Creativity
Children
Hobbies
Work & Services
Health
Habits & Routines

Until October 10, 2017, your focus is on having a fun time, enjoying life, and expressing yourself in freeing, rewarding ways. Your romantic and creative worlds continue to expand and grow. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so.

Romantic opportunities tend to abound during this cycle; or chances to kick back and have fun, express yourself in unique ways, and pursue hobbies and entertainment are abundant. Creatively speaking, you can be filled with ideas and plans for realizing a dream.

This can be a fertile time on many levels, physically and emotionally. This is a time of discovery of affections as well as your creative potential. Generosity with others, particularly lovers and children, increases, as you feel that you’re gaining rather than losing when you give. Latent artistic talents can be coaxed out. Creative output is more lucrative or emotionally rewarding. You have more courage to take some personal risks. A love affair begun now can be particularly spirit-lifting.

While this position is associated with casual dating, because Jupiter rules your partnership sector, you could be seeking more playfulness in a committed relationship during this period.

This enhancing, supportive influence is with you until October 2017.

Potential negatives: Excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments. This is more likely to occur in March and August-September when the appeal of gambling or taking other forms of risks can be strong. There may be problems with defining relationships regarding their level of commitment during this period, and you may be wrestling with your own feelings about someone. Watch also for indiscriminately lending to friends during this period, as well as recreational escapism that goes too far. There can be freedom issues with friends and lovers.

However, for the most part, you are likely to feel supported and confident during this approximately year-long cycle. An excellent period for making this period not only fun but also very constructive and productive peaks in August when a hobby might become a business or a fun relationship moves to a new level.

From October 10th onward, your work, daily routines, and health endeavors begin to expand, improve, and grow. This is a time when your work projects or duties expand, or you have increased opportunities for employment. You can be so confident in your ability to take on projects and endeavors, however, that you overload your plate, so do watch for that. This influence is with you until November 2018.

You find more joy in your work (as long as you don’t overload), self-improvement endeavors, and taking care of your health. If you provide a service to others, it is likely to prosper, largely because you’re enjoying it more. You are especially successful in hiring people to work for you, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. It can be easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle or significantly improve an existing one. Work tends to be very available to you. You can be very focused on what really matters to get ahead, and recognition for your efforts may be forthcoming, particularly from December forward, when higher-ups recognize your talents and efforts.

You are proud of how useful you are to others during this cycle. The more integrity and honesty you bring to your services, the more “payback” you will receive. Health is likely to prosper now, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more likely to be successful. You are bringing fresh and original ideas to the work you do and the services you offer. Overload or the magnification of problems surrounding work can be experienced during this cycle. There is a tendency now to focus on the details of your work, and you might sometimes feel a little overwhelmed with monotonous tasks. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don’t watch your sweet tooth.

Your work might involve more services or the assisting of others during this cycle, and for some, health-related or healing professions can be attractive at this time.

Challenges may occur sporadically from December, when there can be vague health issues, the need for time away from your duties either to take care of yourself or of others requiring care, or the consequences of taking on so much that you have trouble taking time for yourself.

However, for the most part, this is a good time for gaining appreciation for what you do or for your skills, for finding work, and for working relationships, particularly from December forward, there is powerfully creative, generous energy with you for matters related to your career and reputation. This can be a spiritually rich period as well.

Partnership is closely tied to work and health during this period, which can mean you are partnering up to work or improve your health or you meet a significant other through your work or through the pursuit of health goals. For some, you may be providing counseling services in your work.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity: Partnerships, Support, Intimacy, Sharing, Finances

Your Gemini 2017 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.

Until December 19, 2017, the areas of your life that continue to require a “back to basics” approach involve the sector that rules close personal relationships, such as marriages and other committed partnerships, long-term associations, open enemies, negotiations, agreements, and contracts. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence began December 23rd, 2014, and will be with you until December, 2017. (It took a short hiatus in the summer of 2015). It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Gemini. This year, those born with a Gemini Ascendant of 10 to 21 degrees, and those born from May 31st to June 12th, are most directly affected.

For those of you who are in committed partnerships, there can be some strains on your bond this year. A partner might feel like a “heavy” in your life, and any feelings of restriction that you feel or have felt in this area of life may seem magnified in your mind now. A partner might also seem cautious, distant, critical, or defensive. You need to open your mind to the possibility that a partner is providing you with important life lessons – about traditions, simplifying your life, and responsibilities. While this might seem difficult now, you might later look back on this time of your life and think, “Oh yeah – now I see it”. So do not automatically discard what he/she has to say. Take your time on this one. If, however, a partner is challenging you to the point of breaking (and this is more likely to occur, if at all, towards the end of the year), then steps need to be taken to improve the situation.

For those of you who are not in committed relationships, it is quite unlikely that you’ll enter a new long-term partnership or commitment rashly. Some of you might begin one, but will do so quite cautiously and carefully. Some of you might be attracted to older or more mature and established people as partnership “material”.

Those of you who are single might nevertheless feel some angst or pressure. This lack in your life might suddenly seem magnified, like a gaping hole in your life. You might lose hope, temporarily, that you’ll ever find a strong, committed partnership. Feelings of loneliness may run deep this year, but the universe is sending you a message through this experience regardless. It is awakening you to a need. In time, you will find ways to satisfy this need.

Some of you could be making a commitment this year. A relationship can encounter some tests or complications, but if it’s strong, it will weather the storm and you could decide to take it to another level. If not, remember that relationships “lost” during a Saturn transit to your partnership sector generally are not good for you in the long run. Some of you could be making a commitment to someone whose background or culture is very different than your own.

This is a time when you may be seeing the less flattering side of others, and through your relationships, of yourself as well!

Many of the main challenges of this transit are over for most of you. However, a Saturn square to Chiron this year repeats some of last year’s challenges in a slightly different way. Some of you could encounter a conflict between attention to partnership and attention to career. Some might fail to see eye to eye about long-term goals, finding it difficult to find mutual interests and goals. You may be facing a lifestyle change or upheaval as the result of a partnership. Strains on a relationship can occur as the result of your struggle with finding a life path or defining your career especially when Saturn squares Chiron, peaking in April and November. This influence sometimes pits the desire to go your own way against the need for tradition and structure or safety. It can also trigger areas of vulnerability.

With Saturn opposing your Sun this year, you might feel that you’re not often getting what you want. This opposition is already in the past for those Geminis born May 21-June 10 and those with a Gemini Ascendant from 0 to 20 degrees. For those born after June 10th and with a Gemini Ascendant of 21 degrees or later, this is happening in 2017. Others may be restricting you, or at least that’s how you might perceive things, and you may not be at your best in terms of overall energy. Some areas of your life may seem to be breaking down before they get better. There can also be bone and teeth problems – something that often happens with hard Saturn transits. Tidy and organize your life as much as possible in order to minimize the challenges.

Opposition from others can take many forms, but the lesson here is to strike a balance. There will be times when you long for a life with few restrictions and responsibilities. However, some responsibilities and restrictions are necessary. Seek ways to balance your life in terms of pleasures and responsibilities. Don’t turn your back on commitments and traditions entirely, and aim to learn and grow as much as possible from the challenges you face.

You benefit greatly this year with a Saturn-Uranus trine that began in December 2016 and continues until November 2017. You’re likely to feel that you can do a good job of balancing the stricter, more traditional, rule-oriented energy of partnerships with the progressive elements of friendship and individuality. Being able to depend on others a little more without sacrificing too much in the excitement and independence department is a theme with this supportive aspect. Think in terms of taking the best of the old and combining it with the best of the new. This period favors improvements rather than drastic new beginnings. It’s time to update and refurbish, particularly in your social life!

From December 19, 2017, and onward, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that rules intimacy, sharing, and shared finances, or money and property that comes from a source other than your own personal income. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence will be with you until 2020. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Gemini. This year, those born in the first two days of Gemini, and those with a Gemini Ascendant of 0-2 degrees are most affected.

Tests can come to your financial and intimate worlds during this cycle. You may be dealing with fears of surrendering yourself, emotionally or financially, to others. Support from others may not be as forthcoming as it has been in the past. For example, a partner’s income may be reduced, or another form of financial support may be taken away or decreased during this period. This requires you to assume more independence in terms of making a living.

Emotionally, there can be a feeling that others are not as supportive. There can be delays or difficulties in general when it comes to getting what you want or need from others. Intimacy may seem to dry up before it gets better.

However, it’s a strong time for handling financial matters, especially debts and taxes, in a logical and realistic manner. These are unlikely to be drastic changes, but rather more on the lines of slow but sure progress, little by little. While this period can be a tad difficult at times, particularly when Saturn forms a quincunx to your Sun or Ascendant, there are some dazzling spots, making it a rewarding period overall, particularly if you focus more on long-term benefits and less on short-term frustrations. Saturn is in a sign that it rules, Capricorn, during this period, and performs very well here as a result. The last time Saturn moved through Capricorn was from 1988-1990.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: Friendships, Long-term Plans, Networking

Your 2017 Gemini Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

In March 2011, you entered a lengthy cycle in which friendships and group associations may have been unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. This long-term influence continues throughout 2017 and beyond (until March 2019). You are more attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric. Your social life is bound to be very colorful this year and in coming years. You can feel especially passionate about a cause or belief.

Challenges in friendships or with dreams and goals may come in March and September, when unreliability or abrupt changes can pull you away from your emotional center. There can be difficulties balancing your social life and attention to your romantic or personal life. You could be struggling with a need to take a few risks and strike out into the world, but there is an often equal pull towards the thrill of entertaining, exciting, creative, or romantic activities. Periods of liberation and opportunity are especially prominent in May and November, when excellent energy is with you for making new connections. Your perspective can change completely, in a very positive way, through a new or unusual friend or new information that comes your way.

As well, an influence that began in December 2016 and extends until November 2017 brings greater opportunities to strike the right balance between tradition and innovation. Independence and stability are not mutually exclusive, and this influence proves it!

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation: Finances, Sharing, Intimacy, Communications, Attitude, Beliefs, Learning

Your 2017 Gemini Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”

Attitudes towards dependencies on others, finances, and intimacy continue to transform this year. Particularly in March and August, there could be some confusion in a relationship, or about your feelings for someone. This can also be a time when the temptation to go overboard with risk-taking, spending, lending, or gambling is strong as Pluto forms a square with Jupiter, tempting you into believing that you can push the limits too far.

In 2017, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity push one final theme that was carried forward from previous years, but then affect newer areas of your solar chart. The February Solar Eclipse acts as a final push towards balancing out your attention to personal and professional pursuits. Your career and family life demand attention and changes are required in order to strike a balance between the two. This comes shortly before the North Node moves out of your sector of home and family and into your sector of communications, shifting the attention from your personal life to the world of mentality.

The North Node in your home and family sector until May 9th points to a continued need to get your domestic life into order, as this can bring wonderful benefits and much joy to your life, particularly around the eclipse in February (career, responsibility, and public life eclipse). and September (home and family eclipse).

The North Node moves into your communications and transportation sector on May 9th, and will stay there for approximately a year and a half. This influence points to a real need to reach out, connect, make contact, learn, and communicate, as these things can bring wonderful benefits and much joy to your life, particularly around the eclipses in early February and in August.

The newer set of eclipses this year affect your communications and transportation sectors, and you’re dealing with matters revolving around how you connect with others and get around. Your ability to manage the demands of daily life is tested, and changes may be necessary in order to become more effective. Your personal belief system is also evolving this year. Transportation can be a sudden issue. Opening up communications with others is a challenge but also a potential joy this year. Learning to slow down, to be sensitive to social graces and networks, and to sensitize yourself to others’ needs and communications without fear of being tied down, will release you from some of your nervous tension and help you to achieve more happiness and inner balance. Try not to run from small talk, even if you fear that you’ll waste your time.

Your Planetary Ruler in 2017: Your ruler, Mercury, moves through the zodiac fairly quickly, and reflects your many and varied interests. Mercury’s retrograde periods are times for reflection and perhaps some backtracking. In 2017, Mercury retrogrades four times, and these periods are from December 19, 2016-January 8, 2017, April 9-May 3, August 12-September 5, and December 3-22. These periods require reassessing issues, reflection, and taking things a little more slowly. More power to you when Mercury is in your sign, and this year, this occurs from June 6-20.
