Ok, so Gemini Ascendants, what does 2018 hold in store for you? Well it's natural to starting with the outer planets and how they are affecting you in general and this is a summary of where they are moving before I move on to a more detailed chronological look at the year ahead.
Pluto in in the sector of you chart associated with change, death, sharing, intimacy, other people's finances and possessions, big business, power, control, investments, inheritance and the unexplained, it's home house. This is an intense transit full of major transformations, and the issues of death and rebirth will affect you deeply. By death and rebirths I don't mean just actual people you know passing on, but literally any kind of situation, although there may be occasions where someone you care dearly about leave you for the spirit world. In confronting these changes in your life you will have to look inwardly at yourself, implement strategies to adapt your life in order to move on, and bring about new and fresh experiences so that you are able to move forward. In financial terms, at sometime during this transit, a major change in any jointly help money or possessions will occur, either with your spouse or with companies and collectives. In general, taking out any loans or mortgages with Pluto in this part of your chart may see you having tough repayment terms to comply with if you ever fall into debt. You will be fascinated by the unexplained, the seedier and more intimate side of life, and there will be an urge to explore and experience everything at it's deepest level.
Neptune is moving in your work sector so you may be rather confused in the direction that your life is going. You could be open to deception during this transit from other people and you should be very careful if you try to deceive anyone yourself, as this may have serious consequences for you. This is generally a time when one can't really make the progress in life that one would really like, and you may find that there are people who are opposing you out of view. During this transit, you should try to go in a professional direction that feels right for you, and if that means a radical change in your work, then so be it. You may be currently drawn to more creative types of work, such as film, writing, art, beauty, or anything linked to water, the medical professions, spirituality, healing or the entertainments and social world.
Uranus is active in the house of hopes and dreams, friends, groups and received love. Uranus is the planet of revolution so your attitudes to your hopes and dreams will soon be set free so that you can expand your life. When it is moving here, it also seeks to show compassion to those you adore and to receive their blessings and love. This is a time when you can achieve the impossible dream if you set your heart on it. During this transit, new friends will enter your life to challenge your perceptions and even older ones who have been around for some time will try and push you in new directions. Expect some unusual occurrences with friends and groups too.
Saturn the great teacher and planet that holds us all to account just changed signs before the start of 2018 and it begins it's progression through the first half of the sign of Capricorn, connected as with Pluto to change, death, sharing, intimacy, other people's finances and possessions, power and control. The test of Saturn here is to challenge you to accept what other people stand for and as a result you will find that at some point during this transit, you will face challenges as a result of this. Maybe you will need to borrow money and someone in power or authority will decide that you do not qualify to receive one. Other people around you who you rely on may face financial hardship or troubles so it may be best to find a position where you can be self-sufficient if needs be. This sector of the chart is tied closely to sharing of all sorts including those of an intimate kind. Death and matters of mortality are found here and you may have to deal with death while Saturn is moving through this part of the chart.
Jupiter for most of the year is in the sign of Scorpio which in your case relates to your house of routine and duty, and through you will realise that your responsibilities will start to turn to getting the more mundane things in life addressed. Even if you are someone that dreads the daily grind of everyday life, now you will feel in a mood to get things done, efficiently and to your and other people's satisfaction. Yes, this is a time when one gets a sense of achievement from doing your everyday work, but it is unlikely that you will advance your status throughout this transit, although modest pay increases or improved conditions may come as a result of your hard work and effort. One benefit is that normally your health stays quite robust and strong, although a lust for sweet and fattening foods will not help if you are on any type of diet. The tendency to be big headed and overconfident, especially to fellow work colleagues will be present and this could irritate them if you aren't careful. Expect some of these issues (work or health related) to come to the fore especially in the 2nd weeks of March and July around the time when Jupiter slows, stops and changes direction.
Right let's get into the real details of what awaits you in 2018.
Mars is the planet that sets the agenda for us in terms of how we act , and starting the year it is passing through your house of work and service alongside Jupiter. These you two planets are influencing matters linked to your daily work and routines, service and people who provide services for you, health and welfare and healing will take on importance in January. They are locked together on and round 8th of the month giving you great enthusiasm and verve to make a good impression, however you'd be wise to tone down your ego a bit lest it proves to be irritating to those around you. There is a danger of "overdoing things" so remember moderation in all that you do now.
Jupiter forms a sextile to Pluto on 16th January and an opportunity to get your way with others in your place of work or a chance to gain more control over the duties that you have to carry out will present itself. This moment may be one where something at home needs to be fixed, and you may require the services of an expert or someone with knowledge.
On the 17th January there is a 150 degree quincunx between Mars and Uranus, and this may see you having to adjust your ideas quite sharply in regard to someone in your workplace or by someone connected to health and medicine who tries to control you in some manner, by insisting on changes that you may not agree with. Try and accept these suggestions at face value, even if inwardly you don't agree with them
Mars moves into Sagittarius on the 26th and the focus will shift towards your relationships and partnerships. Now and in the next two months you will be more forthright with your partner or spouse and if you are single you will tend to get out and about more in the hope of finding a partner. This is an active time, and you and your loved one may may make plans and agendas to keep, however there is the possibility of irritation and arguments breaking out at a moment's notice if you disagree - you should also try to be less selfish, although this may not be easy to achieve. It's a moment when you as a couple can forge ahead and when the moment takes you, there may be fireworks in a good way between you.
On the 31st January we have the first of five eclipses this year, a lunar eclipse in Leo to start things off. This eclipse will highlight matters of communications, letters, emails, documents and contracts, local issues with neighbours and your community, schooling, local transport and vehicles, plus brothers and sisters . Any one of these parts of life could be a trigger for emotional change in your life in the next few months until the summer eclipse season starts in July.
Two weeks later after this first Lunar Eclipse is a Solar one on 15th February this time in the opposite sign to Leo, that of Aquarius. The issues of higher learning, travel and cultural contacts, the law and legal entanglements, belief and religion, publishing and links to in-laws and extended families will also be in the spotlight in the months ahead, and you may expect to see challenges and changes in these areas of life as we move forward through 2018.
The 17th February sees Mars square to Neptune with the result that you may make a sacrifice for your lover, partner or spouse. It's possible that you'll be mystified by their actions, or maybe things that were hidden from you previously connected to them may be opened out and revealed? Try and keep your options open as much as you can, and make things simple - over complicating a situation may see it doomed to failure or hopelessly damaged from the offset. You may put yourself in an awkward place and harm your reputation if you make an important misjudgement.
Moving into March, Mars and Uranus in a trine impel you to be more individualistic and adventurous in your relationships. You will be impulsive and you can have a lot of fun so long as you are given the space that you require by your partner. You may want to try something different, exiting or even dangerous, and if you are single you may find that a chance encounter may lead to a surprise but maybe short lived relationship. Now is a time of taking a bull by the horns, and running with it for all your worth.
On the 17th of the month Mars enters the sign of Capricorn and the emphasis shifts again as the darker side of life starts to be more prevalent for the next couple of months. You may have to sort out your shared finances, debts, loans and the like as we head towards spring your need for sex and physical contact will be intense; you'll be throwing all your energies into your relationship or lover. This time may coincide with power battles and trying to wrestle control away from others. You may have a feeling of constantly having to fight to survive in some sense, and the lessons you learn now as you are forced to toughen up will serve you well in the future.
On the 24th March Mercury moving in your house of hopes and dreams house stops and turns retrograde. The next three weeks will in the main be a time when other people including friends and groups will play a bigger part in your life than normal. You may catch up with colleagues and buddies who you haven't seen in a while or you could feel that some friends have outlived their purpose and you will decide to cut ties with them. Be careful not to get mixed messages from friends as confusion could occur. This is a time also to review your ambitions, and to make sure that they are relevant for you as you go forward.
It is now April and Mars conjuncts with Saturn on and around the 2nd day of the month. You may feel pressured in some way, maybe over something that you don't own, by institutions and money lenders, by someone in a powerful position or by your partner. You may find that whatever you try to achieve, there is something getting in the way, as if someone or something behind the scenes is manipulating you or holding you back. You may not feel like being intimate with your partner and you may be giving them a cold shoulder temporarily. This aspect is not going to last forever, so you should be back to normal in a week or so.
On the 14th April Jupiter and Pluto make an opportunistic sextile and matters linked to events triggered by the first contact of these planets on 16th January may resurface. There is a chance to reset any work relationship and put it on a better footing. You can put into effect changes to improve your well being and fitness, if you look after yourself internally then you will feel better externally. There is one more connection of these planets when Jupiter is moving direct, active on and around 12th September. Mercury retrograde finishes a day later so misunderstandings surrounding friends and groups could occur now. It's probably best to take your own advice rather than relying on others for the time being.
On the 26th April Mars and Pluto combine in Capricorn and there will be a very intense competitive feeling between you and your partner. This is a great aspect for getting out and doing any tough or physical tasks and expending a lot of energy. There is a determined will to win and you can use this energy to your advantage if you use it positively, indeed much can be achieved under the right circumstances. There is the possibility of jealousy or obsession rising now over what you or someone else owns, or secret underhand actions that you carry out that nobody else will be aware of.
Into May and on the 16th of this month Mars shifts into the sign of the Water Barer Aquarius. Mars is starting to slow down now as it is approaching a retrograde period, and so this transit is important for us all as Mars will spend longer in this sign than he normally would do. For you with an Gemini Ascendant it's transit will spotlight themes connected to the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom, the development of your beliefs, the law and legal matters, travel and connections to culture and diversity, publishing and spreading the word plus links to in-laws and extended families. Mars is this part of the chart will impel you to take a leading role with these people and situations.
On the same day Mars will square Uranus which itself will have just moved into the sign of Taurus. This is an important fixed square, the first of three contacts in total and because of it's location on the cusp of both signs and the fact that very few if any of us have our ascendants spot on the cusp of the sign, for you this is likely to see unexpected events in your previous house upsetting events connected to power and control,other people's possessions and money, taxes, debts, sex and intimacy, secrets and anything shared with others. There could be a marked dislike of any imposed change upon you, and you may complain bitterly against being forced to do something against your will. This is also an aspect of mistakes and accidents and you should be aware that upsetting events could occur through rushing or not thinking properly before acting. The other two dates where this aspect will be in operation will be around 2nd August and also 18th September 2018.
On 25th May Jupiter still in Scorpio makes a trine to Neptune in Pisces, the second of three aspects (the first of these occurred on 3rd December 2017). This is a flexible easy water trine connecting both faith planets and your idealism, imagination and need to escape will rise at this time. On the positive side, this is a highly intuitive and creative phase and your ability to think laterally and your openness to new ways of doing things should see you having some success at work and in your career ambitions through whatever projects and plans you have on the table. The downside is that there is also a temptation to avoid reality and take stupid risks, and you should try to avoid these, especially in regard to how you deal with work colleagues, your daily routines and your health, by trying to dupe people or present something that is a fabrication or fake. Your temptation to cut corners is also enhanced and should you do this the whole house of cards you build may come tumbling down around you in the future. You may make sacrifices for others and something may need rescuing now. Be very careful especially with your diet and through your consumption of alcohol or narcotic substances, as these may seem very attractive now. There is one more connection of these planets after Jupiter turns direct on and around 19th August.
As we reach June Mars starts to slow down and spend more and more time on each degree point. On the 8th June it links up with the South Node of the Moon, a position of traditional detriment, and this moment may see disappointments and difficult moments associated with any travel plans that you have in the pipeline. If you are taking any examinations you may not get the results that you desired, and reality may hit home as an old problem from the past resurfaces it's ugly head, maybe connected to legal issues or your family through your partner or spouse. In terms of physical energy and motivation, you may be feeling at a lower ebb than normal. This, because of the impending retrograde motion of Mars is another one of these connections that will occur three times, the other two dates being on 20th July and 26th September.
Overview - Venus remains in Scorpio as she slows down and Mercury adds to your sceptical and more inquiring nature as it enters this sign too on the 10th October. You will more sure footed and strident in your opinions at work & with work colleagues as the month goes on as well as taking a greater interest in your personal health and welfare. The Sun also enters Scorpio on 23rd October. Matter of services you give to others and services provided for you may be a theme this month. Venus moves back into Libra on 31st October.
Later in the month on 27th June Mars finally reaches a stop stationing retrograde. The time around this date sees Mars at it's most powerful, and you may be extra motivated to make an impression, but watch out for trying to impose your ideas or beliefs on others. You may be seen as trying to interfere, and this could lead to problems that you have to face. From now until the end of August you may find that nothing will seem straightforward. You may have to revise what you learnt, in-laws may go back on their words, travel plans may need rescheduling and legal claims may not achieve the aims that you initially set out. The likelihood of any success or achievement may be predicated by distractions and hitches along the way.
Into July and there is a Solar Eclipse on 13th in the sign of Cancer. This eclipse focuses on your values, your business, money, finances and possessions. Here in these issues you will see changes. A change of income may see a change of job, or in more favourable circumstances a pay rise, of maybe your work will boom and you'll start to bring in more money? Maybe outside circumstance will dictate that your work in no longer be so attractive to others and your income will fall? On a wider level the change in personal values and self worth may be noticeable to you, as you either feel better or worse about yourself. In the next six months these will be matters that come more into view in your life.
On the 27th July Mercury now in the sign Leo grinds to a halt and stations retrograde for three weeks. Beware of travel delays on and around this day, technical or mechanical breakdowns, and problems with vehicles. Back up in advance all of your most important data. Communications may go astray or taken in the wrong way, and messages may be misread or misconstrued. Please don't sign any contracts at this particular moment. Once Mercury gets moving retrograde properly this is a good time to revisit contracts and agreements and adjust them to suit the prevailing situation. You may revise your language skills, reconnect with your local community or revisit places that you had not been to in a long time. It's also time to get back in touch with relatives that you haven't spoken to in a while.
On the same day there is a Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius that will reinforce the changes and issues brought to the forefront by the Solar Eclipse of 15th February in a more emotional way through learning experiences and your beliefs being tested, although as this Eclipse is in the early degrees of Aquarius, many of you will feel power shift in the way that you deal with people, monies and favours that you owe to others, and there may be a change of emphasis in your more private life too. Expect secrets to open out, or for you to bury some information deep underground well out of the sight of others.
Overview - Venus is in Virgo for the first few days of August prioritising home and family matters before moving into the relationship sign of Libra. Your free time will now figure more importantly and you will want to spend it wisely. Matters with the one you love will be more on your mind, as will be situations involving children too. Mercury is in Leo all month and you may still be busy with appointments and local issues, short vacations with the family and friends plus matters to do with brothers and sisters. The Sun moves into Virgo on 22nd July and domestic issues will start to hold sway.
As we move into August we get the second of the Mars square Uranus aspects on the 2nd (see May) and following on from that event, Uranus stations retrograde on the 8th August. This will be a highly charged time just before a Solar Eclipse where unexpected events could occur. You may be difficult or uncooperative towards your friends and in group situations, unwilling to go along with the wishes of others. You could provoke others into taking radical action that promotes a fairer and as you see it a better society. All this occurs before Mars regresses back into Capricorn on 13th August. During it's regression into this sign you may revisit collaborative work, you may see a big change in the friends you associate with, you may quit groups or teams or decide to join new collectives and associations. Your social circle may change as may be the places, restaurants, bars and clubs you frequent on a regular basis
As I mentioned, there is a second Solar Eclipse within a month again in the sign Leo on the 11th August. Matters surrounding communications, contracts, documents, emails, schools, vehicles and trips you make, contacts to neighbours, the local community, brothers and sisters will not only be front and centre in your thoughts at this moment, but situations and changes in your life linked to them will be more important for you throughout the rest of 2018.
The 19th August finds Jupiter making it's third and final trine to Neptune and I refer you back to May when this aspect first surfaced. The 27th August sees Mars stationing direct and we may redouble our efforts to get back on track and moving forward once again. This moment may feel like a weight is being lifted off you especially in regard to owed finances and matters concerning things loaned to you. It will be as if the way ahead is now clear, and finally you can start to plan ahead with more confidence.
After this testing August, we move into September and Mars re-enters the sign of Aquarius on the 11th of the month. Now all those delays and irritations in late June, July and August will start to make sense and finally you will realise that they were actually for the best, so that you could reach this point. A day later on the 12th Jupiter forms it's third and final sextile to Pluto, and aspect that we last saw on 14th April. Please refer back to this date for more information on how this will affect you. Mars makes it's final square to Uranus on the 18th September (first seen on 16th May) and powering forward now it connects with the South Node of the Moon for a final time on 21st September - please look back to 8th June when this aspect first appeared.
The month of October unusually sees no major planetary aspects at all but there is one major event as on 6th October Venus slows to a halt now in the sign of Scorpio and begins a 42 day period of retrograde motion. As you will have gathered from earlier on in this guide, Scorpio covers the part of your life linked to work and relationships with bosses and work colleagues, routine, service and those who provide services for you, health, hygiene, illness and your welfare plus matters connected to pets and domesticated animals. All these parts of your life will be under review and some of these may be changed if you think they are not serving you well. You will be considering how you maintain your life, you may be reassessing the suitability of your work with bosses, reassessing your fitness and diets if you need to lose weight and you may find yourself having to change your lifestyle because of illness. One rule of thumb also during Venus retrograde. It is unwise to start brand new relationships or make important decisions over finances. Try and resist the urge until Venus moves direct again, even if the situations on offer look too good to be true.
Overview - This month is very much as you were from October, with Venus in retrograde and Mercury in Sagittarius all month slowing and preparing to enter its own new retrograde cycle. It's almost as if you are putting things on hold in November before you can start to progress forward again. Venus retrograde in Libra is shaking up and assessing relationship issues all month whereas Mercury is focusing on relationship and the communication channels within them. The Sun enters Sagittarius on 22nd November and this brings some cheer and optimism for those of you celebrating Thanksgiving and for all of us as the holiday season is approaching.
As we move into November, so Venus changes signs back into Libra and one of your priorities will be on your social life. Some home truths may come out now how you relate to a lover and to children, and you may consider how to improve your relationship with them. Maybe you need a little more space or pay them a bit more attention, or you may decide to adjust your priorities towards them? Matters pertaining to hobbies and your out of work interests also be under review to see how they suit your needs, or if they are needed at all. You may return to an art project or something creative that you previously didn't have time to complete, or you may retake up a pastime that you did in the past.
A time to change tack in this regard may come as Jupiter makes a 150 degree quincunx to Uranus on 8th of the month, so taking a fresh approach and changing your attitudes to things in a more innovative and open way may open the door to you feeling better and more optimistic about your precious free time.
The 8th of November is a significant day as Jupiter changes signs moving into it's home sign of Sagittarius. This is the most expansive and optimistic of all the planetary combinations and for all of us we can dream big and let off the shackles and chains that Jupiter in Scorpio was placed under. There will be less of a need to work tirelessly long hours, we are talking more time to focus on others and your personal life. For you, Jupiter enters your house of relationships and partnerships, and this will lead to you needing to be more open and accepting to the needs of your partner in the next 12 or so months. This could mean you putting your partner (personal or professional) up on a pedestal and praising them to the hilt, or being very generous to them. There will be an open and understanding attitude even to those who oppose you, as you are willing to use your knowledge and wisdom to show that you are right, and that they are misjudging you.
At the same time Uranus still moving retrograde dips back into the sign of Aries for one last time and a week later on the 15th November Mars makes a positive sextile to it. Here we have opportunities to innovate to get the results we require. You may be drawn to science and technical advances, and teachers and knowledgeable people may open your eyes and give you inspiration. Off the cuff travel and visiting new places may seem exciting, as may the discovery of new belief systems. You may be inspired by astrology and other esoteric subjects.
On the 15th November Mars changes signs into elusive Pisces. Mars will remain in this sign for the rest of the year and here in the house of work and careers it may encourage you to redouble your efforts to get your ambitions on track. Mars may see you working hard, taking the lead in work situations and dealing with the general public more than you have done in the past. You will be forthright and wanting to get on with things at a fast pace, however haste can lead to mistakes and you should try to keep a lid on any frustration from colleagues who are unable to keep up with you.
The 16th November sees Mars square to Jupiter as you may have grand plans to present to others and willing to chance your arm. Some gambles will pay, off but there is a possibility that you could lose out in a big way too through extending your reach too much. Make sure you calculate your risks before you act. Also on this day Venus stations direct in your house of individuality. Matters surrounding hobbies, pastimes, love, children and being able to do your own thing in your own way may reach a crescendo or make or break point now.
At this time as there are a lot of changes of planetary direction and signs, and things may be a little confusing. Adding into the mix, Mercury is slowing to a halt in Sagittarius exactly square to elusive and confusing Neptune before turning retrograde two days later on the 18th November. It is a time to be scrupulously honest with loved ones and to avoid telling untruths, and I would totally hold off making any kind of decision or signing any agreement for a few days at least. It may be time to get things out in the open and to discuss the real issues with loved ones and partners so that you can set a fresh course. Not doing so could lead to confusion, misunderstandings and eventual problems. Partnership issues from the past that may have affected you could come up again too. Try not to make new associations with people, or make formal arrangements under this influence. Be careful not to upset those who you know oppose you, as their revengeful actions may cause you significant difficulties.
On the 27th November Mars making a constructive sextile to Saturn encourages us to concentrate on our own priorities in our job. If you can work on your own now away from others, you will be able to make some good progress for the future. Anything started at this time may have some longevity about it, and although growth will be slow it will likely be steady and strong. There is a good chance that bosses and senior people will be encouraging you and being appreciative of your efforts. Matters concerning elderly people and your father may also please you.
Overview - The Sun is leading the way at the beginning of this month in Sagittarius with Mercury and Venus finishing their retrograde periods. The truth will now be out in the open and you can make your mind up about love in your life and your work situation. The focus on the more mundane parts of your life returns as on the 2nd December Venus re-enters Scorpio. Mercury moves into Sagittarius on 12th December brightening the spotlight on partnership issues. Your will be open minded and willing to talk with your loved one and discuss the future, and this is a good time to set joint resolutions for the coming year, and finalise plans for Christmas and the holiday period. The Sun enters Capricorn on 21st December, heralding the Winter Solstice.
We enter December and Mercury moves back briefly into Scorpio for 4 days on 2nd December before stationing direct on the 6th of this month, ending it's last retrograde of the year. Mercury at a station in Scorpio will give you an ultimatum or choice to make based on the evidence we have gathered in the previous few weeks of retrograde review. You may now choose to adjust your attitudes to healing, health and welfare, look at colleagues in a new light, take up a new line of work, change our routines or we may decide that it's no longer worth pursuing these avenues.
Mars connects in a conjunction with Neptune just one day later on the 7th of the month. This aspect is one of great artistry and creation but also ones of utter deception and illusion. There is a charismatic and elusive quality about this conjunction and you may be incredibly tempted to deceive someone who you work with or alongside behind their back. Try if you can to resist the urge to pull the wool over someone's eyes, as you may suffer and have to make humiliating sacrifices if the truth eventually surfaces. This aspect will lessen your physical energy and I would suggest that colds, flu or other debilitating conditions are likely.
There is one last aspect to concentrate our minds this year and this occurs on 17th December with Mars forming a sextile to Pluto. Here is a last chance to concentrate your efforts in 2018, effect needed changes and to make constructive and binding progress, especially in a work and career sense or in regard to dealing with owed finances and investments. You will be very determined and quietly persuasive, and this may be a chance to get your way over a decision made. You should be in a buoyant mood as we head for Christmas and the start of the New Year.
