Gemini Monthly Horoscope September 2017

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

September 2017 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until September 22nd:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.

Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.

From September 22nd forward:

The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!

You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.

This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

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

Until the 19th: 

With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

From the 19th forward: 

Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.

You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.

In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Mercury is retrograde from the August 12th to September 5th: 

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 third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit- chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.

From the 9-29: 

Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.

Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

From the 29th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.

Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until the 5th:

Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).

From the 5th forward:

Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Overview Horoscope:

The month begins on a busy note, dear Gemini, but quieter, more familiar and domestic themes pick up steam as September advances. Your ruler, Mercury, turns direct on the 5th and you feel lighter and more informed -- "in the know." It's easier to make decisions now. The Sun begins the month in your sector of soul/home, and then Mars, Mercury, and Venus join along on the 5th, 9th, and 19th, respectively. These developments bring many opportunities to improve relationships with family -- and with yourself. It's useful energy for creative improvements to the physical home as well, not only to your emotional life. Ideas for making home life more comfortable and livable are abundant. You'll need to be especially active on the domestic front in order to benefit from these energies the most - Mars here becomes temperamental and disruptive if it doesn't have something constructive to do! You can be laying down foundations, setting up a base of operations, or improving foundations already in place. You're thinking in terms of the long haul now.

However, the 2-3 is a potentially loaded period, with the 5-6 running a close second. Mars meets with retrograde Mercury at the eclipse point, and old problems can emerge for handling, setting you on a new path or getting the ball rolling regarding themes activated by August's eclipses (for you, this is about communication, transportation, and presentation). Watch for hasty communications, moves, and decisions now, however, as Mercury is still retrograde and you don't have all the answers just yet. As well, arguments entered into now can have a significant impact, so choose your battles wisely. This can be a great time for reviving an old mental interest or idea.

The Full Moon on the 6th can indicate a project reaching a turning point. There can be revelations related to your career or your general life direction. Discoveries made now can be emotionally-charged. Some of you may even discover or awaken to a dream job or path that motivates you in a new direction.

The major challenges in September have to do with juggling family, responsibilities, and relationships. Expectations, both of yourself and others, may be set a little high. This is not to say you should expect less from life, but it's about being reasonable about what to expect.

From the 5th, Mars charges through the sector of your solar chart that rules home, heart, and family. What you do with the extra energy available to you now will partially determine whether this is simply a period in which you work more heartily on home projects and are more actively involved with family, or if challenges and conflicts ensue on the home front. There can be chaotic energy on the home front if this energy is overdone, but once Venus enters this same sector (from the 19th forward), you'll find it easier to time making a move or waiting your turn. This can be an excellent period for getting a lot done in your personal life. 

From the 22nd, new adventures are in store, as you find ways to satisfy an itch for excitement and recreation. However, you're still highly focused on your home and family life. It's a fabulous time for creative projects. The New Moon on the 20th provides an additional shot in the arm to make improvements, and an impending Venus-Mars alignment colors the last week of September with excitement about creating something special. You're craving more emotional interaction or a deeper connection with someone, or with family in general. You can come up with inspiring and creative ways to improve your home or to enjoy family.

Jupiter is nearing the end of its thirteen-month transit of Libra, ruler of the romance and creativity sector in your solar chart. This planet of plenty will move on and bless your work and health sector starting in October, but for now, Jupiter is shaking things up before it goes! Your social life can be dramatic at this time, possibly related to the balance of attention you've been paying your friendships and dating life. For others, there can be a real desire to pursue certain hobbies or pleasures, but this can cause some ripples with friends. The fight to be freer is coming from a real place, but it's a good idea not to create too much of a stir as you go about making changes.

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

September 2017 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.

Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.

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

Until September 3rd: 

Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.

From September 3-28 forward: 

With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.

Until the 19th: 

Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.

As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.

From the 19th forward: 

Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration.

Gemini (Born June 12 to 21)
AND Gemini Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Gemini:

September 2017 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until September 12th:

The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.

From September 12th forward:

With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period.

The New Moon on the 20th provides an additional shot in the arm to make improvements, and an impending Venus-Mars alignment colors the last week of September with excitement about creating something special. You're craving more emotional interaction or a deeper connection with someone, or with family in general. You can come up with inspiring and creative ways to improve your home or to enjoy family.

Jupiter is nearing the end of its thirteen-month transit of Libra, ruler of the romance and creativity sector in your solar chart. This planet of plenty will move on and bless your work and health sector starting in October, but for now, Jupiter is shaking things up before it goes! Your social life can be dramatic at this time, possibly related to the balance of attention you've been paying your friendships and dating life. For others, there can be a real desire to pursue certain hobbies or pleasures, but this can cause some ripples with friends. The fight to be freer is coming from a real place, but it's a good idea not to create too much of a stir as you go about making changes.
