Welcome to January, Gemini. During December, the last month of the year, the dreamy planet Neptune went direct, offering you insight into your finances and professional goals. You may feel a little annoyed when the year begins, as the warrior planet Mars is retrograde, which can slow down professional news. You can combat this by leaning into your softer side. Because while Mars retrograde is associated with decreased libido, early January is ultra-romantic.

On Thursday, January 2, Vesta, the asteroid of sacred sexuality, moves into Scorpio, bringing a desire for self-care into your relationships. This transit notes that you need to nurture the love around you. If you do, relationships could flourish. And, despite Mars being retrograde, early January offers many opportunities for networking. The next day, on Friday, January 3, lover Venus moves into Pisces, which brings chances to make connections. Even if deals and contracts are delayed due to Mars retrograde, this transit offers an opportunity to begin the conversation.

On Monday, January 6, Mars retrograde shifts into Cancer, and as a result, could lead to further delays in professional news. However, know that if such an annoying transit is going to take place, this is truly the best time for it to happen. Everyone is playing catch-up from the new year anyway. Consider it a cosmic task in practicing patience. Shortly after, on Wednesday, January 8, your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, enters Capricorn, causing you to tap into creativity in ways unfamiliar to you. If you normally write, consider playing a musical instrument, or vice versa.

The sky lights up with a Cancer full moon on Monday, January 13, affecting your opulent 2nd House. It’s true that full moons are associated with results, and with your 2nd House in the spotlight, the traditional wisdom is that money could arrive. However, keep in mind that Mars is retrograde through the end of February, so, more likely, this full moon sees you taking ownership of an emotion. Is there someone in your life who you really like but you’re scared to commit? Or, are you in a toxic relationship, perhaps professionally, that you’ve been ignoring? This lunation asks you to admit the truth.

When the sun moves into community-oriented Aquarius, starting on Sunday, January 19, the next few weeks challenge you to learn something new. Some Geminis may also travel during these dates. But if you can’t get away, expand your horizons by continuing to creatively explore until you find an outlet for your passions.

Until Mars goes direct, your time is best spent creating.

On Monday, January 27, your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, moves into Aquarius, further amplifying your creativity. Until Mars goes direct, this time is best spent creating something. Then, once its backward dance ends next month, you can make plans to market your art, should that be of interest.

A spiritual night arrives on Wednesday, January 29, during the new moon in Aquarius and your 9th House of Philosophy. This is a night for praying, taking a spiritual bath, or working with tarot. It’s also the Lunar New Year, ushering in the Year of the Snake. The next day, on Thursday, January 30, Uranus, the rebel of the zodiac, goes direct in Taurus, affecting your spiritual 12th House. Many Geminis will see complete spiritual transformations when Uranus goes direct. If you’re usually witchy, but suddenly pulled to Jesus, or vice versa, allow yourself to honor whatever arises without judgment. And, if you’re just curious, allow yourself to read and learn about religions other than the one you were raised in. Understanding one another has never been more important.
