Overview for this Month: Gemini (All)
February 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:
Your solar ninth house has considerable power this month, dear Gemini, placing a spotlight on learning, experiencing, and venturing beyond your usual routines. This sector also rules publishing, promotion, adventure, belief systems, world cultures, higher education, and the law, and any of these areas, if appropriate to your current conditions, can figure strongly. While it's not all smooth sailing in these life departments, you're growing and improving, and it feels great.
Mercury’s retrograde until the 20th and Mars in your hidden sector are two big reasons for doing some laying low in February. Still, there can be pleasant opportunities to pursue an interest, expand your understanding of a matter, and learn new things this month. You might review your current opinions or beliefs or struggle to choose a particular learning path. Even with a tendency to more quiet moments than usual, you can also enjoy activities that lift your spirits high.
February is strong for editing and revising, returning to old interests and studies, work on projects you aim to publish, creative works, and social relationships. You might revisit past projects or relationships, perhaps only in your head, and ideally learn from past regrets. The temptation may be to release work or complete a task or study before you're entirely ready, but it's wise to exercise patience.
While there can be backtracking and delays that allow you to refine and improve your projects, it’s a good month for getting to a better place mentally. February wants you to be a little more experimental or spontaneous, pushing your usual boundaries on a mental level. You seem to attract others through your words and ideas this month.
With Mercury as your ruler, your mind often moves much more quickly than the rest of you, and Mercury's retrograde until the 20th is a time for catching up. Take care when it comes to presenting ideas, corresponding, and doing detailed work. You may not be seeing the whole picture, but you could be looking at things from a valuable new perspective.
At the same time, the month is strong for your powers of attraction. You're not overthinking your love life or your feelings, and you're more inclined to seek out the things and the people that make you happy. You have more power to direct your life experience, education, and activities that broaden your mental horizons, as well as more faith in your ability to connect, learn, share, and expand your experiences.
Your dreaming world is vivid and intuition exceptionally active this month. Listen to your inner voice! It's important to respect any prompts you receive to rest. You may very well need a chance to work at your own pace or more personal space to function well.
Note that Mars frequently clashes with planets in your solar ninth house this month, and it's best not to allow impulses and complicated feelings to control you, even if circumstances seem to have you focusing on frustrations. Restlessness can sometimes threaten to take over as you consider all the things you'd like to do, but another part of you is not quite ready to partake. You can experience some irritability facing obstacles to your plans, which can signal the need to slow down and think up a better approach. You might feel that you're in the dark on a specific matter, and it can eat away at you, but only if you let it. You could also feel somewhat drained or demotivated, but the pressures to perform and get things done are just as strong, which can result in some inertia.
The New Moon on the 11th and transits connected to it promote good feelings and optimism. Of course, this does mean you should watch for overestimation. It can be a time of romantic possibilities with someone offering you an entirely different perspective on life. Stirrings of restlessness can motivate you to make improvements to your life. A fun and healthy escape or mind-expanding experience may be in the offing and can be a real refresher. For some, a legal outcome leads to more freedom, or changes that put you back into the driver's seat are imminent.
Looking at past subjects, relationships, or viewpoints in new ways can be stimulating. Friendships might emerge as you discuss politics, beliefs, or interesting topics. You might make valuable connections, and you can have a stronger than usual urge to be included. As well, you have more faith in your abilities to build bridges. Studies or experiences now contribute much to your personal growth.
A Saturn-Uranus square occurs this month, and while it will influence you until December, it tends to stir up some tension now. There can be some struggle with letting go of the past or long-standing problems–these matters can sometimes interfere with your pursuit of a more structured, responsible lifestyle. Alternatively, restrictions you’re currently experiencing can lead to inner unrest, unburying issues, or secrets emerging. Frequent side-tracking can be problematic. Disruptions in your personal or private life can distract your efforts to buckle down.
From the 18th forward, you’re more visible than usual, and you connect more directly with your ambitions and goals. Mercury ends its retrograde on the 20th, and information surfacing then can move a plan forward.
The Full Moon on the 27th can stir up family or home issues. You recognize your needs for security, comfort, and nurture, and it becomes clear that you should strive towards balancing these things with your worldly goals, which have been coming into stronger focus. Circumstances push you to recognize the need for improved time and energy management as well as a better work-life balance.
February offers you many opportunities to open and free your mind as you discover motivating interests and much to ponder and share.

Gemini (Born May 22 to 31) and Gemini Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Gemini:
February 2021 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until February 17th:
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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
From February 1-24:
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 25th 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
Mercury is retrograde from January 30th to February 20th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your personal presentation or image to others and communications with family because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Because Mercury is your sign's ruler, all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues may apply. Put off making important decisions with regards to family and domestic matters (Virgo-ruled for you) just now, and take care when it comes to communicating with family members.
Occurring in your solar ninth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding travel or education plans. Delays or complications are very possible in these areas. Go over applications carefully before submitting them and make sure you understand instructions clearly. Expressing your opinions now might come across in entirely the wrong way. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors and lawyers as well; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.

Gemini (Born June 1 to 11) and Gemini Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Gemini:
February 2021 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2021
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 9th:
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 9th forward:
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.

AND Gemini Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Gemini:
February 2021 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2021
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.

It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors and lawyers as well; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mercury, while retrograde, returns to your eighth house on the 8th, and is direct in your eighth house on the 20th:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 14th:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
From the 14th forward: With Mars moving through your solar twelfth house, this is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.
Overview Horoscope:
February 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:
Your solar ninth house has considerable power this month, dear Gemini, placing a spotlight on learning, experiencing, and venturing beyond your usual routines. This sector also rules publishing, promotion, adventure, belief systems, world cultures, higher education, and the law, and any of these areas, if appropriate to your current conditions, can figure strongly. While it's not all smooth sailing in these life departments, you're growing and improving, and it feels great.
Mercury’s retrograde until the 20th and Mars in your hidden sector are two big reasons for doing some laying low in February. Still, there can be pleasant opportunities to pursue an interest, expand your understanding of a matter, and learn new things this month. You might review your current opinions or beliefs or struggle to choose a particular learning path. Even with a tendency to more quiet moments than usual, you can also enjoy activities that lift your spirits high.
February is strong for editing and revising, returning to old interests and studies, work on projects you aim to publish, creative works, and social relationships. You might revisit past projects or relationships, perhaps only in your head, and ideally learn from past regrets. The temptation may be to release work or complete a task or study before you're entirely ready, but it's wise to exercise patience.
While there can be backtracking and delays that allow you to refine and improve your projects, it’s a good month for getting to a better place mentally. February wants you to be a little more experimental or spontaneous, pushing your usual boundaries on a mental level. You seem to attract others through your words and ideas this month.
With Mercury as your ruler, your mind often moves much more quickly than the rest of you, and Mercury's retrograde until the 20th is a time for catching up. Take care when it comes to presenting ideas, corresponding, and doing detailed work. You may not be seeing the whole picture, but you could be looking at things from a valuable new perspective.
At the same time, the month is strong for your powers of attraction. You're not overthinking your love life or your feelings, and you're more inclined to seek out the things and the people that make you happy. You have more power to direct your life experience, education, and activities that broaden your mental horizons, as well as more faith in your ability to connect, learn, share, and expand your experiences.
Your dreaming world is vivid and intuition exceptionally active this month. Listen to your inner voice! It's important to respect any prompts you receive to rest. You may very well need a chance to work at your own pace or more personal space to function well.
Note that Mars frequently clashes with planets in your solar ninth house this month, and it's best not to allow impulses and complicated feelings to control you, even if circumstances seem to have you focusing on frustrations. Restlessness can sometimes threaten to take over as you consider all the things you'd like to do, but another part of you is not quite ready to partake. You can experience some irritability facing obstacles to your plans, which can signal the need to slow down and think up a better approach. You might feel that you're in the dark on a specific matter, and it can eat away at you, but only if you let it. You could also feel somewhat drained or demotivated, but the pressures to perform and get things done are just as strong, which can result in some inertia.
The New Moon on the 11th and transits connected to it promote good feelings and optimism. Of course, this does mean you should watch for overestimation. It can be a time of romantic possibilities with someone offering you an entirely different perspective on life. Stirrings of restlessness can motivate you to make improvements to your life. A fun and healthy escape or mind-expanding experience may be in the offing and can be a real refresher. For some, a legal outcome leads to more freedom, or changes that put you back into the driver's seat are imminent.
Looking at past subjects, relationships, or viewpoints in new ways can be stimulating. Friendships might emerge as you discuss politics, beliefs, or interesting topics. You might make valuable connections, and you can have a stronger than usual urge to be included. As well, you have more faith in your abilities to build bridges. Studies or experiences now contribute much to your personal growth.
A Saturn-Uranus square occurs this month, and while it will influence you until December, it tends to stir up some tension now. There can be some struggle with letting go of the past or long-standing problems–these matters can sometimes interfere with your pursuit of a more structured, responsible lifestyle. Alternatively, restrictions you’re currently experiencing can lead to inner unrest, unburying issues, or secrets emerging. Frequent side-tracking can be problematic. Disruptions in your personal or private life can distract your efforts to buckle down.
From the 18th forward, you’re more visible than usual, and you connect more directly with your ambitions and goals. Mercury ends its retrograde on the 20th, and information surfacing then can move a plan forward.
The Full Moon on the 27th can stir up family or home issues. You recognize your needs for security, comfort, and nurture, and it becomes clear that you should strive towards balancing these things with your worldly goals, which have been coming into stronger focus. Circumstances push you to recognize the need for improved time and energy management as well as a better work-life balance.
February offers you many opportunities to open and free your mind as you discover motivating interests and much to ponder and share.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t suddenly change as the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
Learn all about the signs of the zodiac. We offer interpretations of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Ascendant in the signs:
