January 2015 horoscope - Gemini

I follow the Vedic calendar; this is the January 2015 horoscope for birthdays from 16^th June to 15^th July or Gemini Ascendants and Moons

Gemini, as the year begins, your mind is on the money. How much do I have, how much do I need, where do I get it from and who will I share it with? These are the questions you’re contemplating and need to find an answer to. The reason for this may be a number of sudden changes and shocks do with your money and /or your living situation. Some Geminis may be signing on the dotted line for a mortgage now, while others are busy sorting out their annual tax returns or dealing with an inheritance, will and other family-related business.

But in any case, it’s your annual full Moon on 5^th January in your own sign which a time for you to reflect on just these subjects and in line with what you want to see happening for yourself in your near future and in terms of your relationships. Not everyone may agree with your ideas for the future or your monetary needs and expectations, not least your partner or people in authority, i.e. at work, and although a demanding situation to start with, it’s a necessary challenge and process to go through.

This full Moon is in the nakshatra of Purnavasu, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion. This is the nakshatra of the excellent, the good and the ‘blessed’ and the bright one. With Jupiter being the ruler of this nakshatra, it indicates wealth, goods, riches and property; it is ruled by the god of capital wealth or the god of life. It gives the ability to ‘create’ - in form and in structure – hinting at success in everything they undertaken now. This is the nakshatra of the natural educator with a love for world travel and a pronounced interest in religious belief systems, ritual traditions with a love for children. For you, this means that ultimately, once you’ve faced and dealt with people’s demands and certain others’ challenging behaviour, the process seems to be worth it.

With Mercury, your ruler, in the sign of Capricorn, you’ll also have a very clear idea and ability to express your thoughts – although not an overly emotional placement, at least, you’ll be able to reason rationally. At least until 21^st January, this is a good placement for research of all kind, working your way through financial admin. All the while knowing that the wheels of destiny are in motion, something is shifting and although it has done for a few months already, you’re feeling the effects of those past months now and you’re getting used to whatever the new and modified conditions look and feel like.

Mercury then goes retrograde on 21^st January and until 12^th February 2015. The consequences or hiccups of this retrograde period can be felt until 4^th March 2015 – after this time, you’re out of the doldrums so to speak. In the meantime, you’ll change your mind about a few things but that’s your prerogative. 

The new Moon on 20^th January in Capricorn again highlights your money matters, shared resources and family bonds but now is the time to start thinking about how to move forward. It’s not a time to start initiating with Jupiter and Mercury in retrograde motion but you can start dreaming about it, filling out the forms and apply. Still you may have to renegotiate, review and change some of the details later on but at least you got the ball rolling.

For those who are single, this is a month where you carve some closeness and a solid and long-lasting partnership. Again, you can set the wheels in motion, connect with people and eye up someone who later on may be worth your while. You’ll probably not be able or willing to fully commit just yet. Have a great month, Gemini!
