General
The year 2023 will be a turning point for all of us. For Gemini, 2023, the Year of the Rabbit, is a gap year marked by a major clean-up in preparation for the great moment when the Great Benefactor Jupiter will travel through Gemini from May 26, 2024 to June 9, 2025.
In general, 2023 is a positive year for Gemini. However, retrograde of Mars in Gemini at the beginning of 2023 sets the tone for 2023 and the influence of Saturn in Pisces can also put a brake on your career plans from March 2022. The slowing and less energetic impact will be felt throughout 2023.
Love and Relationships
Due to the influence of Pluto in Capricorn in the 8th House of Soul Processes, for a long time intimacy, obsession, taboos and sexuality has been a theme for Gemini. This powerful and transformative influence of Pluto will continue until January 2024, but gradually diminishing.
The transit of asteroid Ceres through Libra (5th House of Love and Romance) until March 22, 2023 is a period of nurturing and longing to be with your loved one and loving support for everyone you love.
Ceres is retrograde in Libra from February 5 until the end of March 2023 and during that period you wonder if you are doing enough or doing too much for others. Do you get in return what you give or are your expectations too high? From June 22 to September 15, 2023, Ceres will be back in Libra and during that period you can restore balance.
The transit of red Warrior Mars from August 28 to October 12, 2023 through Libra makes Gemini long for love, but is combative, competitive and wants to conquer hearts at all costs. Together with the energy of Ceres, Mars does help you bring more joy into your life.
Almost simultaneously with the moment Mars leaves the sign of Libra on October 12, 2023, a Solar Eclipse will take place in Libra (House of Love) on October 14, 2023. This is the cosmic gateway to a new step in the relationship such as an engagement, marriage or family expansion in the next six months, but it can also be a new hobby or project, anything that makes your creative heart sing.
Due to the cooperation of red Warrior Mars and asteroid Ceres in Sagittarius from November 26, 2023 in the House of Relationships, there are fewer tensions in the relationship or in forms of cooperation and it is easy to reach a compromise. Cooperation and dedication are then self-evident.
The single Gemini can meet a new love with a future perspective during this period.
From December 24, 2023, your planet Mercury will go retrograde in Capricorn, which can cause relationship problems and cooperation is generally not so easy.
Pluto has led to massive transformations in intimacy, trust, and emotional connection in Capricorn over the past 14 years. Retrograde Mercury in Capricorn addresses all of these themes in December 2023. December 2023 is the perfect month to get to the bottom of things to clean up once and for all.
Career
Neptune in Pisces has spent over 10 years in the 10th House of Career. Gemini must admit that it hasn’t been easy to make an easy career move. Neptune, the planet of illusion and fantasy, makes Gemini uncertain about goals and career. Neptune in Pisces allows Gemini to intuitively find the right path. Gemini senses whether a path taken is the right one. Gemini has proven successful through Neptune in Pisces in art, music, poetry, alternative medicine or in the world of mysticism.
Neptune will remain in the House of Career and Destination until the end of March 2025. From March 8, 2023, the transit of Saturn through Pisces (10th House of Career and Destiny) will also begin. Saturn is responsibility, reality, and ethics, so a balance needs to be struck in Pisces between imagination and reality when it comes to goals and aspirations.
Saturn in Pisces can slow down your career, but it does give Gemini space to think seriously about the direction you’re taking. Don’t rush anything to ensure long-term success. Saturn will remain in Pisces until May 25, 2025.
Until January 11, 2023, Mars is retrograde and then doubts can strike again. From the second half of January 2023, Mars is direct again and Gemini is more confident and ambitious. Your strong competitive attitude is beneficial for your career, but it also makes it difficult to collaborate, respect others’ opinions or compromise with others. Really a period to work for yourself or to get started as an independent entrepreneur.
Mars will travel through Gemini until March 25, 2023.
On May 5, 2023 there is a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio (House of Work).
The Lunar Eclipse can bring progress, recognition and success with the work you have done up to that point. It can also mean that you need some time out to recover from all the stress. In any case, it may be an indication that the old way may no longer is the right path.
Changes are inevitable and if you don’t do it yourself, changes will come from outside. No matter what, you need work that you feel connected to, something that is meaningful and offers appreciation and happiness.
From September 16 to November 25, 2023, asteroid Ceres travels through the House of Work and red Warrior Mars also travels through Scorpio (House of Work) from October 13, 2023 to November 24, 2023. These two energies together provide energy and drive at work to enrich your life in new ways. A favorable period to find a new job that suits you or add something in your life that opens new doors for you.
Neptune in Pisces may have made it difficult for Gemini to figure out your goals, but with the support of Saturn in Pisces, the right path can finally reveal itself.
Gemini who have already found their path can reap the sweet fruits in 2023.
Finance
The Moon rules the House of Finance for Gemini. For Gemini, that means every New, Waxing and Full Moon is a great time to make investments. The Waning Moon is always a period to complete financial matters and pay invoices. With this in mind, Gemini gains financial overview and insight.
Saving can also be challenging in 2023.
When something doesn’t go quite right, keep in mind that things will turn out for the better.
Just like the waves of the sea on the beach that keep receding and rising again under the influence of the Moon, so it goes financially.
Mars in Cancer travels through the House of Finance from March 26, 2023 to May 20, 2023 and this transit can lead to increased income, financial opportunities and rewards.
Together with the power of Saturn in Pisces, Gemini may get help along the way, but expect more spending during that period.
From June 28 to July 11, 2023, Mercury travels through Cancer (second House of Finance). During this practically oriented period there are expenses and income related to communication systems. Excellent period to get your finances in order, so analyzing finances, assets as well as personal values.
A lot of money will be needed by the end of the year. During this period there is a high probability of an unexpected relocation and large additional costs associated.
Family and Home
From March 26 to May 6, 2023, asteroid Ceres is retrograde in Virgo (House of Family and Home) and this can lead to challenges at home and your family. There may be misunderstandings or responsibilities or Gemini may not feel as supported by family or those you consider family.
Ceres will remain in Virgo until June 21, 2023. The first half of 2023 may therefore be restless. From July 11 to August 27, 2023, Mars travels through Virgo (House of Family and Home) and that means work on and around the house. Gemini is then energetic, defensive, protective and assertive.
With the energy of Mars, Gemini can focus on home projects such as a move, family activities, renovation or improvement of the living situation.
Young Gemini may spread their wings during this period to explore the world.
The transit of Mars in Libra from August 28 to October 12, 2023 makes Gemini combative and competitive, also towards children in the family and relatives.
There may be an expansion of the family during this period, which may also be a pet.
Mercury in Virgo is retrograde (House of Family and Home) from August 23 to September 14, 2023, and that can lead to challenges. Solutions must be found for problems that arose during Ceres’ retrograde period at the beginning of 2023.
You can then reconnect with family or your immediate environment or you can return to the place where you found happiness and safety.
The transit of Venus through Virgo from October 10 to November 8, 2023 indicates a harmonious period at home and in the family. A favorable period for a new interior, a renovation or repair work on the house and its inhabitants, so a reconciliation in the family atmosphere is also possible. From November 25, 2023 to January 4, 2024, Mars travels through Sagittarius. During this period there may be tensions at home, at work or in everyday life.
Until the end of 2023, there may then be complications in private life and that may have to do with developments in Gemini’s career.
Health
Saturn in Aquarius will continue to support Gemini until March 7, 2023. Saturn helps Gemini to get yourself together and clear tour mind.
Pluto temporarily travels through Aquarius from March 24 to June 11, 2023 and this energy makes you more powerful in the way you present ideas and opinions. You can stick to your beliefs and find new ones that suit you better.
Mars in Leo from May 21 to July 10, 2023 is an active period where your head is overflowing, but you can also walk past yourself.
Retrograde Venus in Leo from July 23 to September 3, 2023 can be the cause of concentration problems, compulsive thoughts, mental exhaustion or less interest. During this period, you should take a time-out if possible.
Uranus will remain in Taurus until April 2026. Taurus is the twelfth House of Cosmic Consciousness, Letting Go and Surrender for Gemini. Also in 2023 you will be dealing with subtle purification, letting go of unconscious impulses and behavioral patterns, processing and inner growth.
You may be experiencing or have experienced solitude and recovery in a hospital, spa, monastery, temple, spiritual retreat, rehabilitation center, care facility, a home or at home.
Maybe you lose everything to (re)find yourself. When you have found yourself (again), the time has come to surrender yourself to the Higher Purpose. In unusual and unexpected ways, repressed energy surfaces and secrets are revealed. Be careful. Not everyone can be trusted or has your best interests at heart. It’s years of trial and error, but your inner growth will be invaluable. Unexpected events force you to let go of too heavy baggage.
Mercury goes retrograde in Taurus from April 21 to May 14, 2023. This retrograde in the 12th House makes Gemini more aware that unprocessed emotional baggage needs to be dealt with and released.
Jupiter travels through Taurus from May 17 to May 25, 2023, so Gemini has still a lot to clean up. The energy of the Taurus Lunar Eclipse of October 28, 2023 brings great spiritual insight to Gemini and frees Gemini from limiting beliefs or destructive habits.
This cosmic event is the gateway to a whole new you, for now you have the chance to free yourself from all that old emotional pain.
Pluto in Capricorn will remain in your House of the Soul for now. Also this year you will be confronted with things that you try to hide deep within yourself, such as fear of trust and intimacy. Life is meant to grow and not to be held back by demons. You first have to free yourself from your cocoon to be able to spread your wings like a butterfly.
