Areas of Expansion in 2020 for Gemini:
Your Gemini 2020 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.
- Intimacy
- Debts
- Support
- Self-Growth
- Publishing
- Learning
- Travel
- Expanding Personal Horizons
Until December 18th, 2020, there continues to be a wonderful, refreshing focus on your private world or intimate life – a possible deepening of a relationship, or an increased understanding of your inner workings–a boost in your relationship with yourself! Your intimate life enlarges and expands, bringing you more joy and new discoveries.
During this cycle, you learn to embrace inner change in order to feel more empowered. There may be more opportunities to find support, financial and/or emotional, but you should be wary of living on credit and borrowing too heavily from the future.
During this year-long transit, it’s time to grab opportunities that help you to feel empowered and on top of your life. Conversations are deep and lead to fruitful discoveries. Sexuality is richer. There can be benefits and support coming your way through or from others, whether it’s refunds, an easier time getting loans or mortgages, a partner’s income increases or you inherit something valuable. Combining your resources, talents, and/or money with those of a partner can improve your financial outlook. You might also benefit from managing others’ resources and talents without the “teaming up” part. All depends on your current circumstances.
These things are more likely to relate to a partnership or key relationship in your life since Jupiter rules these things in your solar chart. There may be a metamorphosis of sorts related to a partnership.
Potential negatives: Taking on too much debt or relying too heavily on others for support. Be wise when/if lending and borrowing.
Otherwise, it’s a strong period for opening yourself up to others and for feeling more confident about your emotional depths. This is a period when you can quite successfully purge yourself of some of your inner demons, guilt, and buried psychological problems. While there can be some reality checks at times, it’s a powerful time for psychological growth. Imaginative activities or behind the scenes efforts can be rewarding, either (or both) spiritually and materially. Generosity, faith, and compassion increase. You may be opening up to family or loved ones and sharing your burdens.
This influence also positively impacts your career, especially from February to October. From April to November, you’re in particularly good shape for going in deep, advancing your goals, attracting support, and enjoying a deeper connection with a person or project.
From December 19th onward,your belief systems, learning experiences, and hunger for adventure grow and expand at a rapid pace. You are feeling more courageous and spirited as you sense that there is more “out there” for you to learn and take in. This transit is a happy one, although it can seem subtle since it runs so smoothly!
This is a time in your life when you don’t sweat the small stuff as much as you normally do. You see the broader perspective on life, and you generally feel supported, so that smaller inconveniences don’t stress you out quite as easily. Your positive outlook is notable during this cycle. Learn as much as you can now, in preparation for the next cycle beginning in December 2021 that puts your career on center stage. You’ll want to be prepared!
Your views on life in a broad sense are changing, growing, and maturing. Connections with faraway cultures, people, or a broader knowledge base can open up opportunities to grow personally. Teaching and sharing knowledge can be in strong focus. It’s a good time for publishing, writing, and media.
You might consider fine-tuning your talents and skills with higher education or experience during this cycle.
New learning experiences as well as “life” experiences (travel, adventures, contacts with others of a vastly different culture than yours, and so forth) are likely to emerge. Over the course of the coming year, you might have the opportunity to reach a broader audience. You might choose to learn a new language or take on other interesting studies.
This can be a time when you make friends in faraway places or who have vastly different backgrounds or perspectives than you and who enrich your life during this empowering cycle. You’re likely to enjoy opportunities to expand your experiences and to impress others. Education can be transformative now, leading to important opportunities. Since Jupiter is your partnership ruler and is now transiting your sector that rules foreign experiences, travel, education, and expanding your horizons, you may enjoy a travel companion or meet someone special through these activities.
Interestingly, at the same time of this expansive influence on these areas of life, a contracting influence occurs, as you will see in the next section below. Ideally, rather than swinging between growing and limiting these life departments, you’ll come to a fine balance, which is more likely in late December. You may get the chance to solidify studies, travel, a publishing deal, or another substantial matter. It can be a time for specializing or learning something practical and useful for some. Take advantage of your discipline and common sense at this time. It’s a potentially powerful time for you to get your life on track or to launch a new, practical initiative.
Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity: Support, Intimacy, Sharing, Finances, Worldview, Beliefs, Education
Your Gemini 2020 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 March 21, 2020, and from July 1st to December 16th, 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 from approximately June 12-21, and those with a Gemini Ascendant of 21-30 degrees, are most impacted.
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.
Additionally (and importantly!), an influence described in the section immediately above is with you that helps counter some of the dry or hard elements of this cycle this year. There is more joy in simplifying these areas of life. You’re productive and committed. You may very well make an important commitment or form a powerful alliance or attachment.
In January especially, you’re encouraged to get your life in order in these life departments. This is about rebuilding, restructuring, and making solid changes that revitalize your finances, lifestyle, and relationships.
From March 22nd to June 30th and December 17th forward, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that rules higher learning, belief systems, travel, and adventurous experiences. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Those things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong, however, will endure and strengthen further.
This influence is only just getting started this year, but will be more consistently with you beginning at the end of this year, and it will extend until March 2023.
This transit is felt more strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Gemini. In 2020, those most directly affected by this transit are those born from approximately May 21-23 and those with an Ascendant of 0 to 2 degrees Gemini. For those born later in Gemini, this influence is on its way but not yet impacting you!
Tests can come to your belief system or learning endeavors during this cycle. The need for reliable, solid, practical training can become very apparent now. You might scrutinize the belief system that you have held to date, and question your faith – in others, in yourself, and in life itself. You are seeking out practical and workable solutions to problems.
You might find that your ability to leisure-travel or engage in higher learning is limited during this period, for whatever reason. Travel may be for business purposes only. You may not be as adventurous, preferring to stick around home and your neighborhood, or perhaps for some, stuck there. This can also be a period of teaching others what you have learned. Mind you, another concurrent influence on this area of your chart can counter this tendency since it’s trying to expand rather than restrict these areas of life. This can be experienced as a balancing influence, or you may feel that matters expand and restrict alternately.
The term of this transit is one of greater realism and practicality. You feel more capable of meeting your responsibilities. Life feels robust and stable, and the benefits of this influence are likely to be felt most strongly when Saturn officially forms a trine to your Sun or Ascendant (now for early Geminis and soon for later Geminis). You are likely to enjoy many opportunities to set your life in order. Saturn is in very good shape, transiting in harmony to your sign and also transiting the area of your solar chart that it rules.
This is also a valuable time for the learning and study of practical skills and brushing up on your knowledge. You’re challenged to look at life and your future more realistically and practically. There can be important accomplishments in publishing or education for many of you.
While this influence is in effect, sharing ideas and beliefs can be gratifying and rewarding. Boosting a key relationship through shared activities or finding a key relationship through learning or activities outside of the usual bounds can figure strongly.
Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: Private Life, Spirituality, the Past
Your 2020 Gemini Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.
All year, you are in a 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 (it was in and out of influence in 2018 and 2019, and this theme is with you until April 2026).
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 so that you can move forward freer and more authentically. The aim now is to free yourself from attitudes that have restricted you from growing, improving, and advancing.
Ultimately, you’ll be freer to start anew – a life in which you express yourself more confidently and truly. Circumstances are such that this process comes more easily and naturally in March and April, in particular. You are working hard at letting go of those attachments that simply don’t serve you well any longer, and you’re happier about it because you can really feel that growth as you do. You may find that boosting your attention to your income and earnings or belongings can be especially rewarding now.
Changes can feel a little more challenging in February and June when there can be problems balancing your attention to friendships 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 beliefs or more spirituality.
Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation: Finances, Sharing, Intimacy, Money, Resources, Independence, Partnership, Self-Reliance
Your 2020 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 January and from April to November, this is a time for making empowering changes and choices.
In 2020, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity continue to emphasize lessons related to material possessions and spiritual or emotional sharing. However, the year also introduces a theme surrounding independence, courage, self-reliance, and partnership.
The eclipses and Node transits nudge you 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 until May points to a real need to manage your income, resources, valuables, and talents, after which the North Node is in your sign!
From May/June forward (and until January 2022), there is a genuine need to learn how to rely on yourself, which ultimately will bring you more joy and opportunity. It’s a time for you to reach a balance between partnering and independence. Your personality and your partnerships evolve in important ways. Personal appearance, your body, your image, and your independence are areas of special focus in the second half of 2020. There can be important relationship changes this year and the next.
Your Planetary Ruler in 2020: 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 2020, Mercury retrogrades three times, which is quite normal, and these periods are from February 16 to March 9 (in Pisces and Aquarius), June 18 to July 12 (in Cancer), and then October 13 to November 3 (in Scorpio and Libra). These times require reassessing issues, reflection, and taking things a little more slowly.
More power to you when Mercury is in your sign, and in 2020, this occurs from May 11-28.
