Gemini Horoscope for December 2017

You have before you a new month, Gemini, and yet in some ways you are repeating patterns that you have gone through before, and taking a new angle of approach on these. Your ruler, Mercury, is in retrograde motion nearly all month long, in your sector of partnership, and you might find yourself dreaming on and somewhat revising for yourself the meaning of relationship and intimacy in your life. The strong placement of the planet Pluto signals that something major is shifting for you in these and other areas. Being available to others plays a big role for you now, to include service to your own higher purpose, affecting as well all kinds of interpersonal connection. Neptune too is prominent this month, and located in your sector of career. You may find, through a series of events, trials, and meditations, that only the path with heart, that deeply satisfies, is the one way for you to go.

Happy halfway done with your solar return, to all you Gemini’s out there! It’s always at this time of year that the Full Moon falls in your home sign. This year it happens just a few days into December. In addition to this, Mars in Libra and Uranus in Aries are just separating from an opposition across your fifth and eleventh houses, Jupiter in Scorpio in your sixth house is making a trine to Neptune in Pisces in your tenth house, and Mercury is conjoining with Saturn in Sagittarius, just as it turns retrograde in your seventh house. All of this is taking place in the first week of the month (although the effects will carry on all of December). Let’s take a look at each transit, in depth.

The Full Moon in Gemini will take place in your first house, within the first few days of the month, just as Mercury is conjoining with Saturn and turning retrograde in your seventh house.
