Gemini Monthly Horoscope February 2018

Gemini (Born May 22 to 31) and Gemini Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Gemini:

February 2018 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until February 18th:

The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.

It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.

From February 18th forward:

The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.

You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

Eclipse

A Lunar Eclipse Occurred on January 31st:

A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.

This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar third house. Surprises surrounding your siblings, neighbors, or classmates are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of communications is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a writing project, an event involving a sibling that grabs your complete attention, a sudden opportunity for an adventure or trip, a flurry of activity in your immediate environment or neighborhood that demands attention, a letter or other communication that holds a big surprise, and other such possibilities.

This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar ninth house, suggesting that a new approach to the way you expand your horizons, be they physical or mental (or both). New travel plans, education goals, or adventures may be formed in the coming months, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to expand your personal world is a strong potential. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 10th: 

Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.

From February 10th forward: 

Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 18th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.

From February 18th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.

Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.

You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.

Overview Horoscope:

January & February 2018: This period of your life is quite relationship-focused, dear Gemini, but is also brilliant for personal discoveries. The New Moon on January 16th sets a tone for the second half of January and the first half of February. For you, it's powerful for matters related to shared resources as well as intimate relationships -- with yourself, and/or with others. There is an unusually strong showing of planets, including heavyweights Saturn and Pluto, in your solar eighth house, suggesting a significant new beginning or emphasis on any (or many) of these themes, including shared money, power dynamics in relationships, debts and support (material or emotional), and personal empowerment. The weeks following this New Moon are important for making changes and tweaks to your intimate relationships and dependencies so that your goals are more realizable and fulfilling in the long run. Think: simplified and organized. This emphasis occurs in the sign of Capricorn, after all -- a sign that has its eye on what matters in the long term -- and to reap its rewards, you pretty much have to think like a Capricorn regarding your intimate life.

This is an important time for sorting out your finances --money owed or due -- and addressing fears, power sharing, and attachments in your closest relationships. You're in a strong position to make a lifestyle change, particularly if it involves quitting a bad habit or dependency. You're in the right place to put adverse situations and self-limiting attitudes behind you. Events occurring now provide you with a more unobstructed view of what you want from yourself and others. Something happening around now can open your eyes to the need to handle debts or manage support and the sharing of responsibilities more efficiently.

Supporting your goals are Mars and Jupiter in your work and health sector. You receive lovely cosmic support for making empowering changes and choices with the services or labor you provide, your efforts to maintain and improve health, and your daily routines and habits. Work or health matters can fuel motivation to renovate and organize your money or intimate life. The desire to live happily alongside a partner or dear friend can also feed your willingness to work harder or smarter or to get fitter and healthier. It can go both ways or either way!

Whenever there is a substantial emphasis on Capricorn in your chart, challenges are coming from your friends and long-term dreams/hopes sector (although this longer-term influence is on its way out this year and will leave permanently next). You may be doing some battle with your desires for independence and freedom, which seem to conflict with efforts to strengthen or deepen your intimate connections. This is often a personal battle that you're to handle within yourself, but sometimes it manifests as a literal conflict between friends and lovers or you experience on-again-off-again feelings through a partner.

The Lunar Eclipse on January 31st is the second Full Moon in January (there are none in February) and occurs in your communications sector. A Lunar Eclipse happened in the same area of your solar chart in February 2017, and another (the final one) will occur in February 2019. Small issues can loom large around the time of this eclipse and in the weeks following it. While you should keep perspective since discoveries made around the time of a Lunar Eclipse are usually exaggerated, these matters are not to be ignored! After the dust settles, you'll be well-equipped to know your next step. You're challenged to prioritize, as it can be a hectic time when it can be tough to focus on the things that inspire and drive you. People are genuinely hearing what you are saying - your communications have a stronger impact than usual. It may be time for a book or website launch or announcement, a studying opportunity, or other turning point related to transportation or communication, but this is about clearing the path for new beginnings first and foremost.

The Solar Eclipse two weeks later, on February 15th, is all about this new beginning or turning over a new leaf. In the weeks and even months ahead of this eclipse, you're in particularly good shape for initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life. It's a good time for sharing, learning, connecting, traveling, and reaching out. Even with this gigantic prompt, the last half of February holds quite a bit of preparatory energy for career, professional, reputation, or public matters in your life, so be sure to divide your time wisely.

From January 26th forward and throughout February, you have Mars stirring the pot in your partnership sector. This can be a time when there is a lot of activity in a partner's life that affects your life. Or, it's when others are pushing or motivating you to recognize your potential, to take action on a matter, or to straighten out your relationship. From January 17 to February 10th, you are a little "hard to get" but especially attractive to others on a personal level, and from February 10th, to people on a professional or public level.

Gemini (Born June 1 to 11) and Gemini Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Gemini:

February 2018 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.

A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 19th: 

Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds.

People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until February 7th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.

You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.

From February 7th to 23rd: 

Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.

You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

From February 23rd forward: 

Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until February 12th:

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.

From February 12th forward:

Mars energizes and animates your solar seventh house. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or opposition from others may be challenging. Use the extra energy that Mars brings to this sector of your chart to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone's help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle--full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.

AND Gemini Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Gemini:

February 2018 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until February 8th:

The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.

You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.

From February 8th forward:

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith.

The Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar second house. Surprises surrounding your personal finances and possessions are in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of personal finances is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination or fruition of a financial project, an event involving personal possessions that holds your attention, a sudden money-making opportunity, a flurry of activity resulting from a financial matter, and other such possibilities.

You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until February 3rd: 

Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others' motives for doing and saying what they do. It's a good time to feel supported by others, whether it's financially or emotionally. It's also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.

From February 3rd to 27th: 

Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

From February 27th forward: 

Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until February 12th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you.

If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.

Overview Horoscope:

January & February 2018: This period of your life is quite relationship-focused, dear Gemini, but is also brilliant for personal discoveries. The New Moon on January 16th sets a tone for the second half of January and the first half of February. For you, it's powerful for matters related to shared resources as well as intimate relationships -- with yourself, and/or with others. There is an unusually strong showing of planets, including heavyweights Saturn and Pluto, in your solar eighth house, suggesting a significant new beginning or emphasis on any (or many) of these themes, including shared money, power dynamics in relationships, debts and support (material or emotional), and personal empowerment. The weeks following this New Moon are important for making changes and tweaks to your intimate relationships and dependencies so that your goals are more realizable and fulfilling in the long run. Think: simplified and organized. This emphasis occurs in the sign of Capricorn, after all -- a sign that has its eye on what matters in the long term -- and to reap its rewards, you pretty much have to think like a Capricorn regarding your intimate life.

This is an important time for sorting out your finances --money owed or due -- and addressing fears, power sharing, and attachments in your closest relationships. You're in a strong position to make a lifestyle change, particularly if it involves quitting a bad habit or dependency. You're in the right place to put adverse situations and self-limiting attitudes behind you. Events occurring now provide you with a more unobstructed view of what you want from yourself and others. Something happening around now can open your eyes to the need to handle debts or manage support and the sharing of responsibilities more efficiently.

Supporting your goals are Mars and Jupiter in your work and health sector. You receive lovely cosmic support for making empowering changes and choices with the services or labor you provide, your efforts to maintain and improve health, and your daily routines and habits. Work or health matters can fuel motivation to renovate and organize your money or intimate life. The desire to live happily alongside a partner or dear friend can also feed your willingness to work harder or smarter or to get fitter and healthier. It can go both ways or either way!

Whenever there is a substantial emphasis on Capricorn in your chart, challenges are coming from your friends and long-term dreams/hopes sector (although this longer-term influence is on its way out this year and will leave permanently next). You may be doing some battle with your desires for independence and freedom, which seem to conflict with efforts to strengthen or deepen your intimate connections. This is often a personal battle that you're to handle within yourself, but sometimes it manifests as a literal conflict between friends and lovers or you experience on-again-off-again feelings through a partner.

The Lunar Eclipse on January 31st is the second Full Moon in January (there are none in February) and occurs in your communications sector. A Lunar Eclipse happened in the same area of your solar chart in February 2017, and another (the final one) will occur in February 2019. Small issues can loom large around the time of this eclipse and in the weeks following it. While you should keep perspective since discoveries made around the time of a Lunar Eclipse are usually exaggerated, these matters are not to be ignored! After the dust settles, you'll be well-equipped to know your next step. You're challenged to prioritize, as it can be a hectic time when it can be tough to focus on the things that inspire and drive you. People are genuinely hearing what you are saying - your communications have a stronger impact than usual. It may be time for a book or website launch or announcement, a studying opportunity, or other turning point related to transportation or communication, but this is about clearing the path for new beginnings first and foremost.

The Solar Eclipse two weeks later, on February 15th, is all about this new beginning or turning over a new leaf. In the weeks and even months ahead of this eclipse, you're in particularly good shape for initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life. It's a good time for sharing, learning, connecting, traveling, and reaching out. Even with this gigantic prompt, the last half of February holds quite a bit of preparatory energy for career, professional, reputation, or public matters in your life, so be sure to divide your time wisely.

From January 26th forward and throughout February, you have Mars stirring the pot in your partnership sector. This can be a time when there is a lot of activity in a partner's life that affects your life. Or, it's when others are pushing or motivating you to recognize your potential, to take action on a matter, or to straighten out your relationship. From January 17 to February 10th, you are a little "hard to get" but especially attractive to others on a personal level, and from February 10th, to people on a professional or public level.
