Areas of Expansion in 2018 for Gemini:
Your Gemini 2018 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.
- Work & Services
- Health
- Habits & Routines
- Partnerships
- Agreements
- Social Bonds
Until November 8, 2018, your work, daily routines, and health endeavors continue 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 December 2019, lasting a good thirteen months.
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 until August, 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 Until September, 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 enjoying others’ appreciation for what you do or for your skills, for finding work, and for working relationships. Particularly since December 2017 and until August 2018, 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.
From November 8th onward, your partnerships, relating abilities, and powers of negotiation begin to grow and expand. New partnership opportunities (yes, even plural) can arrive now, or the chance to bring fresh energy to an existing committed relationship emerges. Relationships entered into now are generally successful and happy — at least for the time being, they are mutually beneficial. Sometimes, this transit absolves an existing partnership, but if this is the case, it is likely to come as a relief, or it is a “blessing in disguise.” Meeting someone better for you at this point in your life may be a reason for this. Your ability to get along with others is enhanced as you are especially willing to compromise, and you are more appealing than usual. This influence will stick with you until December 2019.
You can negotiate more successfully, and, if applicable, win in legal matters. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past can be resolved, and more casual disputes can be settled amicably as well. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from same. Good publicity may come your way. If your career has you working with or before the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, particularly if you do counseling or negotiating in your job. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, difficult relationships may be absolved, or successful new ones are entered into during this period.
For many of you, you are attracting people who want to help, who are on your side, and who take a keen interest in you.
Potential negatives: You may be attracting partners who are more concerned with freedom than with pairing, or who seem to be quite extravagant or full of themselves. There could be troubles associated with an existing partner’s extravagance or demand for freedom, and you might feel this more prominently in late November.
However, you’ll get a chance to work through conflicts of interests and overload throughout this period. For the most part, you are likely to enjoy an improved social life during this cycle. You learn a lot through your experiences and interactions with an important “other.” While there are problems to iron out, there is a motivating, ambitious feel to this time. The focus should be on strengthening, building, and developing your connections.
Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity: Support, Intimacy, Sharing, Finances
Your Gemini 2018 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 2020, 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 occupies 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, Private Life, Spirituality
Your 2018 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 until March 2019 but it moves on for part of 2018 before returning to complete its journey. Themes in 2018 are divided as follows:
Until May 15th, and then from November 6th forward, you are attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric. Your social life is bound to be very colorful again during this period. You can feel especially passionate about a cause or belief.
Challenges in friendships or with dreams and goals may come in early November and mid-December, 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 work and daily routines. 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 work and health pursuits. Periods of liberation and opportunity are also with you this year. Your perspective can change completely, in a very positive way, through a new or unusual friend or new information that comes your way.
From May 15th to November 6th, 2018, you begin a lengthy cycle of review of your past attachments, those things keeping you from exploring your individuality, and the things that make you unique. This process will span many years (after a hiatus until March 2019, this theme is with you until April 2026). For now in 2018, you get a taste of this influence.
There can be some elements of your private life that are exposed, perhaps secrets surface or your private life is uprooted. This may feel uncomfortable at first, but it’s part of a process that involves detaching yourself from certain areas of your private life and your past. The aim now is to free yourself from attitudes that have restricted you from moving forward with your life. Ultimately, you’ll be freer to start anew – a life that in which you express yourself more authentically. Circumstances are such that this process comes more easily and naturally in August. You are working hard at letting go of those attachments that simply don’t serve you well any longer, and you’re rather fearless doing so.
Changes can feel a little more challenging particularly in late May and early June when there can be problems balancing your attention to work and private time.
Otherwise, this is an important time for releasing negative attachments. Your intuition becomes extremely powerful and your belief system can metamorphose, incorporating different or more spirituality.
Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation: Finances, Sharing, Intimacy, Communications, Attitude, Beliefs, Learning
Your 2018 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 November, 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 should be watched. However, you get wonderful support for making empowering changes and choices, especially from January to September, and particularly through work, service, health efforts, and improved daily routines.
In 2018, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity shift the attention from your personal life to the world of mentality.
The North Node continues its transit of your communications and transportation sector until November 6th, pointing 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 January/February and July/August.
The eclipses mostly 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.
In mid-July, the first of a new set of eclipses occurs in your finances sector. This theme will play out more fully in 2019, but you can see a first push towards getting your finances in order this year. You will be called upon to strike a balance between your own needs for security and comfort and the same needs of other people, such as those of a significant other. You are learning to ask for what you deserve and to take charge of your earnings. The North Node in your finance sector from November 6th forward points to a real need to manage your income, resources, valuables, and talents.
Your Planetary Ruler in 2018: 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 2018, Mercury retrogrades three times, and these periods are from March 22 -April 15, July 26-August 19, and November 16-December 6. These periods require reassessing issues, reflection, and taking things a little more slowly. More power to you when Mercury is in your sign, and in 2018, this occurs from May 30-June 12.
