Hello there Gemini, how is 2012 shaping up so far?! Friends will be keeping you busy in January, as erratic Uranus causes disruption in this part of your solar chart! Social events will be unpredictable with cancellations and sudden invitations sending you into a spin! You will probably also find the same changeable energy surrounds your friendships, one minute you will feel lonely and will have no-one to go out with, the next you will find two or three new and exciting people arriving in your life all at the same time! The days of the 9th to 15th could be difficult, as a friend betrays your trust or talks out of turn, and it will be hard to forgive and forget. Take care what you say during this period, because your words could easily be turned against you at a later date. The 21st to 28th will be more supportive, as someone in your circle of pals drags you out of the doldrums with their spontaneous spirit, and helps you to feel more positive about your life.

Mars will make a positive aspect to January’s full Moon on the 9th, which will bring family support in a financial crisis. A regular source of income which dries up around this time will leave you panicking about your money situation, and someone at home will step up to the mark and offer you a way out. Alternatively, you may be offered an opportunity to work from home, and again, this will help to boost your cash flow. Whatever the domestic connection is to your finances, help is at hand, so try not to worry. The only thing to watch for is delays or difficulties around your plans, because Mars will be slowing down this month as he prepares to turn retrograde on the 24th. Don’t let frustration or irritability about your problems put you off, you will resolve your money worries in due course.

January’s new Moon on the 23rd will provide you with an opportunity to widen your horizons in some way, you might be offered a chance to travel, or decide to take on a higher education course. This is also a good time to begin a court case, start writing a book, or speak to a teacher or solicitor about something important. With Neptune in your house of higher education throughout 2012, and also currently aspecting Saturn in your house of creativity, this is a fantastic time to follow your dreams and learn about something which really interests and excites you. You will find inspiration in art and music, and also in other cultures and countries, so get out there and experience all those new things, you never know where this path will lead!

The south node in your sign is still very active in January, as Venus moves in to form a challenging aspect from your career sector. Difficult planetary connections with the nodes always result in disruption, which has to come to a head in order for you to clear the decks and move on. Suffice to say, unhappiness with your working life will come under fire here, particularly between the 20th and 30th. Arguments with women or creative people are likely, and past resentments or insecurities will come back to haunt you. This feeling that you’re simply not good enough needs to be eradicated once and for all, and the turbulence which the nodes will create, might finally force you to face up to what you really want to do with your life. Be true to yourself and get on the right path! Have a great month!
