It appears there’ll be a lot of push back and challenges, the gauntlet thrown by anyone concerned about the power situation and the distribution of privilege and reward. Those merely trying to stake out their territory could be confronted by those who think it’s their prerogative to dictate circumstances, and many will choose fight over flight, as it may seem a showdown is unavoidable. Add to that it may be impossible to communicate without infusing our words with assertive energy, and it could be a rough day. Part of the purpose behind all the turmoil might be this: destructive or angry acts, or those meant to seriously transform a situation, may uncover what really needs to be addressed, and a do over for past actions or circumstances that we’re not happy with are a distinct possibility. Take advantage of the way we’re able to ‘see behind the curtain’, as with only a little effort we see the reality behind the material world. Too, there’s a lot of potent creative energy around; make sure you channel it into something positive, as ignoring the creative surge may draw to you deceptions or illusions you may mistake for that peek behind the curtain, when you’re really just staring at the draperies.

For those born with the Sun at 08 Gemini. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). Dear Gemini, it’s your time to do, to be what you like, to assert yourself, to take action that can shape your role and your world–but it requires you make the effort. What you do (or don’t do) this solar year, through to your next birthday, will be very public, and may affect the career and the reputation (and this could be positive or not), so keep the inevitably easily seen nature of your actions and choices in mind as you make them. Change to those structures, rules, boundaries, and other forms that have given your life shape and contained both your expression and your sense of Self will happen this year, and if you’re willing to face the unpleasant or deal with what you’ve up to now hoped to ignore, you can have a significant say in the shape those new support and containment structures take. Good luck!
