Happy Birthday Gemini!
May 21 - June 20

You of all signs cannot help reflecting and perhaps over-thinking about the year past and the year coming. Sometimes you actually paralyze yourself by this reflection. A good issue for this next birthday year is: how and when to cut this talking out. After all, though we know you love to think, we are sure you love to live too. (At least one of your twins do),

In the next couple of weeks, Uranus and Jupiter, which have both been in Pisces will dart into the sign Aries. Residency will not be permanent, and will end by Fall. However in 2011 these planets will move again, and will remain in Aries.

Uranus has been in Pisces for 7 years, and has impacted your career. There have been quite a few surprises in the work arena, some good- some not so good, but you have grown. Your career reflects the person you really are at this point. When the Jack in the Box planet Uranus pops into Aries , it promises more excitement. The area that will be most impacted involves friendships, long term goals and desires. You could have a couple new friends pop into your life that are very different. They also could pop out as easily. Some of you might be letting go of some friends.It appears you might have changed a lot over the years and become nearly strangers.

What you have always wished for could drop in your lap at the least expected moment, from left field. Certainly with this planet diving into Aries this year, you cannot and will not complain of boredom. You will be letting go of what is no longer authentic for you. You also might establish new goals too.

Key dates around this transit, to allow you to see some of the dimensions of Uranus are: July 1-July 10, 2010, Dec 1 Dec 10, 2010.

May 28, 2010, Uranus will move into Aries the first time and will remain there August 15, 2010. Uranus will then return to late Pisces , giving a final kick in the career area. where it will remain until mid-March 2011.

Jupiter which has been in Pisces hopefully provided opportunities professionally now announces its move into the sign Aries. Jupiter will once again hook up with Uranus. on June 7 2010. Wherever Jupiter is , there is a theme of excess. Touching Uranus as it will this summer, you can be sure of some wild surprises, especially if born in the first few days of Gemini.

Jupiter the planet of luck posts residence in the area of friendship and hopes and wishes in June. In a sense during this period, which will last through September 10, 2010, consider yourself carrying a magic wand. Be careful what you wish for, as it just could happen. From Sept 10, to mid January 2011, Jupiter will return to Pisces. If you wanted a pay raise , the time is then...however count on some unexpected developments even around that request.

When Jupiter returns to Aries in January 2011, be prepared and have a strong sense of what you want. You are capable of manifesting just those desires. So what is stopping you? You can also use the summer Aries transit to re-evaluate goals.. So do think about your birthday wishes before and after you blow out your candles.

Key dates around Jupiter’s impact are July 15 through July 30, 2010 and November 8 through November 25, 2010.

Saturn the teacher planet will go direct during your birthday time 2010. Though the planet might be dragging its heels in Virgo as you read this, it will clear and enter Libra on July 23, 2010. It has been in Libra this past year, impacting your creativity. Many of you want to create a concrete reflection of your libido energies. For some this might be a child , for others, it could be a manuscript or a painting. This transit will be active throughout this birthday year, but in a stable, flattering position to your Gemini sun. This transit will most definitely impact most of Gemini this year, especially the first 24 degrees of Gemini.

A key period to help you understand Saturn influence will be the weeks surround January 26, 2011. Just note what happens. Is there an underlying message to events?

Neptune is transiting in a sister Air sign, Aquarius. Neptune bestows unusual creativity but it can also draw confusion and in some cases, intentional deceit. The transit will impact those born in the last ten days of Gemini the most. Hopefully, this cycle will allow your imagination to wander and help inspire you. This same planet in the position it is in encourages travel, delving into spirituality, and higher education. Sometimes it can create an unusual amount of empathy and understanding. For some, a foreigner enters your life. You will learn to think and assess situations differently, because of this person.

Key periods around this transit are: May 25 through June 5, 2010, Nov. 1 through Nov. 15, 2010. During these timeslots you might get a better sense of how this planet is impacting you personally. It varies with each person.

Finally Pluto in Capricorn is creating some interesting times for those born in the first 12 days of the sign. Pluto is transformation and it is in your solar Eighth house which Pluto rules. Thus the planet functions well.What you are looking at are heavy issues such as :why I am here? What does power and money mean to me? If attached, there could be power plays between you and your significant other over money or other assets of the relationship. Consider separate check books. Your relationship will go through a very intense, meaningful transformation as well. At the same time, you could inherit money, or be dealing with funds from another source. Light weight answers, wit and the superficial will lose their charm.

Key periods to see Pluto’s influence are: September 7-21, 2010 and April 2 through April 16, 2011.

Finally please note the periods when Mercury , your ruler goes retrograde:

During these periods, it is best not start any new projects. Often there are snafus as well. Look at how you could of perhaps prevented the snafu for the future. For many Geminis, these periods are a series of bad hair days.

August 20-Sept 12, 2010
December 10- Dec. 30, 2010
March 30-April 23, 2011.

Often you will feel the energy of the retrograde before and after. There is a lingering effect. Still the actual retrograde should be avoided as far as major decisions...if you want to be a happy Gemini!

Get ready for one of those action packed movies this year. It will be about your life. Happy Birthday Gemini.
