Beginning with Mars in Gemini finally exiting retrograde, 2023 is off to a great start for you, Gemini. Your life force, motivation, and will are unstoppable through January, February, and March. Gemini season (from the 21st of May until the 27th of June) is fairly uneventful for you, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have big things coming your way.
Career is a major theme for this year, and you’ll take leaps and bounds towards your goals. You will be reflecting a lot about what makes you happy and should be ready to say goodbye to the things that hold you back or ask you to be less than you are. Your greatest lesson this year will be learning when to tune out your busy mind and when to tune in to your powerful intuition.
Who You Really Are
Flitting around like a hummingbird, Gemini is dynamic, flexible, and fast. Symbolised by the twins, Gemini is often said to have two very different sides. When working together, these dualities combine to create something more; when at odds, their struggle has far-reaching and unpleasant effects. If you are a Gemini, you are intellectual, sociable, and shrewd. You have a curiosity for life, and you won’t stop until you find the answers you seek. That is, of course, until your find something else that captures your interest.
Ruled by Mercury, Gemini is at home in the 3rd house of mind and communication and is a mutable air sign. Mutable signs are adaptable, open-minded, and empathetic, while air signs are intelligent, communicative and free-spirited. The third house represents the time in life when we become aware of our thoughts and begin to think.
Gemini’s ruler, Mercury, is all about information. Information processing, sharing, and receiving. Mercury takes on more of a trickster role in this sign, as Gemini likes to play, poke fun, and joke around. All in all, you are sociable, playful, intellectual, and inquisitive. Geminis are never in one place (physically, mentally, or emotionally) for too long, so let curiosity be your guide.
Career and Money
2023 is a big year for you and your career. Beginning on the 27th of January and ending on the 3rd of March, your work and future come into focus fully. This is a great time for making concrete steps towards your long-term goals and putting the foundations in place for sustainable growth. The 2nd of March in particular will be an extremely fortunate day for you career-wise, so capitalise by scheduling negotiations, job interviews or other important events here if you can.
For the rest of the year, work will keep being a topic that comes up, especially if you are in two minds about which road to take. Listen to your intuition, signs from the universe and subconscious messages, especially those sent in your dreams. Take your time to reflect, and balance your desires and dreams with practicality, determination and hard work.
Begin the year by reflecting on your finances with the full moon in Cancer on the 7th of January. From the 25th of March until the 27th of June, it is a good time to act on any monetary plans, investments, or bigger purchases, especially for the home, your loved ones, or yourself. We finish the year with another full moon on the 27th of December, so once again take time to review your finances and set money intentions for the new year.
Friends and Family
The first half of 2023 is full of social events and changes in which you will be primed for making new friends, expanding your social circles, and joining new groups. From the 20th of February until the 20th of April your connections to others come into focus even more vividly. Fill this time up with fun adventures, events and bonding experiences as the stars shine on you and your platonic loved ones. During the full moon in Aries on the 29th of September, you may be rethinking some of your friendships or friendship boundaries. Use this time to reflect on the quality of your relationships.
The full moon in Virgo on the 7th of March brings a time when you are reviewing your home, living or family situation. You may wish to change something to do with your living space, your family boundaries or where you live completely, and now is the time to make some decisions and do some research. From the 10th of July until the 8th of November it is a good time to act on these changes, and the energy supports getting organised, clear around your needs, and giving to those you consider your family. Be wary between the 28th of August and the 15th of September, however, as misunderstandings, mistakes and health issues may crop up, especially concerning health, family, and self-care.
Love and Romance
The first half of 2023 is fairly energetically uneventful for you this year when it comes to love. The full moons in Libra on the 6th of April and Sagittarius on the 4th of June are times when you may be reviewing your relationships, your happiness in your current situation and your need for freedom. You may not be ready to act just yet though. From the 27th of August until the 4th of December, your romantic energy is high and your capacity for joy is endless. Use this time to have fun, go on dates, and enjoy letting people see the real you.
From the 11th of November, until the end of the year energy is abundant around long-term relationships, sharing and commitment. This is a time when you may be entering partnerships, reaching new relationship milestones or setting intentions around what you want from your romantic partners. You may typically prefer flying solo, so ensure any partners help lift you rather than clipping your wings. Open-minded, adventurous, and light-heart partners are best suited to you.
Your Year in a Nutshell
As much as you like to have fun, Gemini, this year comes with a healthy dose of responsibility for the sole purpose of your exponential growth. Be open-minded, brave, and proactive, and there’s nothing 2023 can throw at you that you can’t rise above.
