Gemini Horoscope for November 2018

This is another amazing month for you, Gemini, when partners provide interesting and challenging inputs, and when you are encouraged in your shifting worldview to include novel ideas about how you might better plug yourself into the surrounding social matrix. You have an activist orientation now to groups and causes that you favor. There is as well loads of energy available to you for reinventing your connection with others, involving concepts of service and careful consideration of your fundamental mission statement. You are very much drawn in this month’s changes to the idea of the Other, particularly with Jupiter now in Sagittarius. Partnership is even more of a focus for you in the second half of November, and beyond, when your ruler, Mercury, retrogrades through this same sign, the opposite one to your own. In addition to the usual symptoms of missed connections and mechanical breakdown, you will likely be considering every aspect of partnership with an eye for better understanding your internal relationship dynamic.

The month begins with retrograde Venus entering into the relationship-oriented sign of Libra, corresponding to your fifth house of creative self-expression, indicating that you may well be reflecting on what this area of life truly means for you, while the Leo Moon briefly opposes Mars, still in Aquarius, corresponding to your ninth house of travel, education, and higher mind. After rethinking all last summer the way that you do these activities, you are still engaged in seeing through changes there, and trying to better understand them.

Then, on November 7th, the Scorpio New Moon falls in your sixth house of work, sickness, and service. For the lunar cycle ahead, you may be therefore striving harder than usual on work-related projects, aiming toward the improvement of your health, or finding ways of being of service to others. You are also motivated to explore more fully the way that you take your deepest values out into the streets as practical possibilities for your individual contribution to social needs.

Meanwhile, all month long, Venus will be retrograde in the sign of Libra, in your fifth house of creativity, children, and pleasure, opposite Uranus in Aries in the eleventh house of friends and groups. It’s a great moment to address crucial creative differences between yourselves and your friends, or within groups that you belong to, but be careful of the temptation to make radical and impulsive changes that could burn bridges or create drama. You may also watch for themes of romantic or creative experimentation, as well as the need for greater independence or creative license.

Watch especially for changes in your creative motivation when Venus turns direct on November 17th. This is a good time to initiate resourceful changes or to begin implementing new ideas in your relationships. Note as well that on November 30th, Venus will exactly oppose Uranus, bringing all the above creative and romantic themes to a head and capping a time of significant changes, challenges, and possibly innovative solutions or compromises.

On November 8th, Jupiter enters Sagittarius and moves into your seventh house of relationships, where it will stay for the next year. It’s an exciting moment for a Gemini. After laboring with the “great work” of Jupiter in your sixth house for the past year, you are ready to expand and share the results of your work with the world. This may take the form of greater social recognition, popularity, or influence, or it may take shape through new lovers or business partners entering your life, or possibly even inspiring teachers or mentors.

On November 15th Mars, the warrior, will change signs and move into Pisces in your tenth house of career after spending most of its time in Aquarius, in your ninth house of the higher mind, since the middle of May. Mars will then square Jupiter in Sagittarius in your seventh house of relationships on November 19th. This sequence suggests a powerful time of advancement, professionally and socially. You are poised to assert yourself and your ideas, beliefs, or emotional enthusiasm into the public sphere. On the other hand, once again, don’t be surprised if influential or inspiring people are taking center stage in your life in general right now.

November 17thyour ruling planet, Mercury, turns retrograde in Sagittarius in your seventh house of relationships in a square to Neptune in the tenth house of career. This transit points to the need to rethink your personal beliefs or philosophical commitments, or perhaps your communication patterns, especially as they pertain to both your relationships and your career or with regard to your public or social reputation. It’s also a great time to consider new technological strategies, or personal marketing techniques.

November 22nd into the 23rd, the Full Moon in your home sign of Gemini opposes the Sun and Jupiter in Sagittarius in your seventh house of relationships, while also creating a t-square with Mars in Pisces in your tenth house of career. The recurring themes this month are definitely expansive relationships, growing public reputation or achievements, and advancement at work or in professional life, but with the Full Moon falling in your home sign, it’s very important that you don’t lose yourself in someone else’s agenda or compromise too much of your personal integrity by over committing or overextending yourself.
