Gemini (22nd May - 22nd Jun)

Your forecast for February 2012

For almost all of you, it's as though 2012 hasn't really started yet, and to be honest February isn't going to change that situation very much.  It may seem as though you're driving into a dead end, or that it's strangely difficult if not impossible to be able to generate any momentum behind you.  If you're finding life somewhat flat, instead of suddenly making waves that would be premature and probably not well thought through, why not simply go for an attitude change, and look at the larger picture as opposed to just at the here and now.  The bigger picture says that you're in a good position to do nothing, to observe and listen without becoming too involved.  There is likely to be a degree of conflict or disagreement in the lives of people around you, and particularly in the areas of both home and family on the one hand, and your professional life on the other, there could easily be developments that are actually nothing to do with you, but that it would be very easier to get involved in.  Don't.  Let other people get on with their lives, and unless their decisions or actions directly impact on your life, don't get in their way.  Better to watch and learn, and bide your time, waiting for a month or two until you're sure that you have all the facts and information that you need to make informed choices.  In a strange way, you can find that very rare Geminian quality this month - that of understanding the peace of both silence and non action.

Whereas most of the other signs of the zodiac are caught up in larger, long term developments that are less day by day and more month by month, the opposite is true for you, at least for much of the central part of the year.  There's no sign of major drama or crisis during 2012, nor major disruption or difficult challenge.  A few of you may go through a period of loss or confusion.  2012 is essentially split into three sections.  The first, until the start of April - little if anything happens.  Unusually, the period from the first week or two of April through to the start of August is a period of re-assessment of value system, and the period from the middle of June onwards brings a time of real opportunity for growth.  The most fortunate time of the year comes at the end of June and the start of July, when there's a three week conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in your sign, especially of benefit to those born towards the end of May. You're not going to encounter any type of new opposition or authoritarian brake being imposed upon you, and in the second half of the year there are clear opportunities for you to stretch your boundaries and move forwards in a way that hasn't been available since the year 2000 - but accompanying this potential of growth comes the obligation to use it wisely, and to know when to stop before you overreach or overstretch yourself.  This will primarily affect those of you born before the 9th of June, but all of you will benefit as long as there is the willingness to recognise the wisdom of moderation.  It's not a difficult year, but it's easier to live within your own expectations as opposed to those of others.

PLUTO isn't directly affecting any of you in 2012

NEPTUNE will square the Sun position of those of you born at the start of Gemini, primarily those born before the 25th of May.  Not a brilliant year for signing long term contracts if you're under this influence, better for getting into art or aesthetics.

URANUS is bringing a degree of unusual opportunity to those of you born from May 25-9, chances that should be at least recognised if not taken, and this will be at its strongest during mid July.

SATURN will bring a degree of structure into the lives of those of you born after 12 June, and this added low level background confidence and self discipline will continue until at least the end of September.

JUPITER moves into Gemini during the second week of June and then stays with you for the rest of the year, bringing a degree of optimism and hope.  This will primarily affect those of you born before June 9, but will benefit all Geminis.

MARS won't touch you directly in 2012

VENUS, with its retrograde nature, will be in Gemini from Aril 3 to August 7

MERCURY will enter Gemini on 24 May and leave after a brief stay on June 7

The Gemini new Moon will be on 19 June and the full Moon on November 28
