Jupiter moves through the intense and passionate sign of ♏Scorpio until November 8th, encouraging us to go after our hearts’ desires. As Jupiter moves through ♏Scorpio, we learn and understand that to heal, we have to cut out the fluff and focus on what genuinely matters to us. Because Jupiter’s nature is extravagant, we must guard against “too much.” Moderation doesn’t come naturally to either Jupiter or ♏Scorpio.
This is a period for learning to embrace our emotions–to understand them, go with our feelings, and express them on a social level. Jupiter in ♏Scorpio encourages us to grow and expand on an emotional plane, and because ♏Scorpio is focused and deep, it stimulates us to develop intimacy–with ourselves and with others. Where Jupiter is currently transiting is generally where we are inclined to find our “joy.”
With Jupiter in ♏Scorpio, we attract the most success and good fortune when we put our “all” into a project or undertaking, and when we use our magnetic powers to heal others. Watch for obsessive behavior that is to our detriment or an attitude that if it feels good, we should just do it. (Fortunately, Saturn’s concurrent transit of ♑Capricorn this year will help us simplify).
This is a fabulous period for looking at the darker corners of life — and of ourselves — from a new perspective or for purging, depending on what we find! It can also be a time for finding valuable resources that were hidden from our view or that we previously overlooked, as well as for awakening talents within ourselves and, perhaps especially, within others.
This can be a potent time for healing, improving, and transforming. With ♏Scorpio, there is transformation. We’re not interested in band-aid fixes, and we’re more willing than usual to enter into a crisis so that we can effect change. Middle of the road is no longer attractive to us at this time. Themes include sex, money, and power, as well as death and rebirth, and we can be particularly fascinated with these topics during Jupiter’s thirteen-month transit of ♏Scorpio.
In 2018, Jupiter in ♏Scorpio forms some empowering aspects with Neptune, Pluto, Chiron and the true North Node. This is a period of widening our minds through unusual or new experiences, more imagination, and increased faith in others, life itself, and ourselves. We’re likely to enjoy opportunities to free ourselves of restrictive and negative attitudes that have been undermining our progress.
Jupiter moves into ♐Sagittarius on November 8th and will continue to transit ♐Sagittarius until early December 2019. ♐Sagittarius is where Jupiter feels very comfortable as it rules the sign.
Saturn transits its own sign, ♑Capricorn, in 2018. Saturn entered ♑ Capricorn on December 19th, 2017, and will transit the sign until the year 2020. Saturn does very well in ♑Capricorn, as its ruler, although it can be a somewhat insular, narrowly focused, and perhaps strict or stern influence. This is a time for checking in with ourselves and the structures of our lives to see if we’re following the rules and meeting our responsibilities. ♉Taurus, ♍Virgo, ♏Scorpio, and ♓Pisces receive stabilizing energy. ♈Aries, ♋Cancer, and ♎Libra may initially balk at what feels too restrictive. ♑Capricorn gets a bit of both.
Saturn will eventually meet up with Pluto in the sign, but not until 2020! In fact, Saturn doesn’t form very many major aspects to the outer planets during its transit through ♑Capricorn.
Uranus is transitioning from ♈Aries to ♉Taurus in 2018, and as such, spends part of the year in each sign. Uranus continues to transit ♈Aries until mid-May when it enters ♉Taurus. Uranus returns to complete its journey of ♈Aries from November 6, 2018, to March 6, 2019, after which it re-enters ♉Taurus for the long haul. Uranus in ♉Taurus is bound to shake up our attitude towards money and personal possessions, and it’s a time for bold innovations in these areas.
For most of 2018, eclipses fall along the ♌Leo-♒Aquarius axis. These eclipses are about striking a better balance between romance and friendship, and between expressing ourselves in personal and impersonal ways. They serve to thrust us into a state of heightened awareness of flaws in our friendships, attitudes towards others, and group activities. Changes are afoot! With the North Node in ♌Leo for much of 2018, we are challenged to take more pride in ourselves as unique, creative, loving individuals. The North Node moves from ♌Leo to ♋Cancer in November. As well, the first eclipse in a set along the ♋Cancer-♑Capricorn axis occurs in July, introducing the beginning of new themes. We are called upon to feed our foundation–all of that which we call “home,” including the foundation we have built inside of ourselves, needs to be tended to and honored. We need to pay more attention to our instincts, our deepest needs, and our feelings; and to recognize the importance of our family and our personal circle of friends and the security, sense of belonging, and safety we derive from them.
Both Venus and Mars turn retrograde this year. Retrograde Mars from June 26-August 27 is slow-going. The retrograde is spent for the large part in the sign of ♒Aquarius until August when retrograde Mars retreats into ♑Capricorn.
The areas of our charts where we find ♑Capricorn involve some lessons and strengthening exercises, and they require simplifying and hard (or smarter) work. The ♏Scorpio areas receive boosts and blessings. In the last two months of 2018, ♐Sagittarius areas of our charts also thrive, and this feels particularly good since these may have been leaner areas in the past few years.

2018 is a significant year for you, dear Capricorn, as Saturn, your ruler, has returned to your sign and feels right at home there! This transit does point to increased responsibilities that may feel burdensome at times, but it’s also a fabulous period for getting your life in order, which is sure to please you. Of all signs, you’re inclined to understand the value of preparing for the future, so that if you need to give up something now to achieve a longer-term goal, you’re bound to have the maturity and patience to do so. This is what is asked of you now, and this theme is with you until 2020.
Saturn performs very well in your sign, and this can point to various improvements in your mannerisms, personality, appearance, and personal reputation. The more insular side of this transit is likely to become most apparent from November forward when Jupiter moves into your privacy sector for a year, and you find more solace, joy, and comfort in your private life or relative solitude. However, until November, Jupiter is moving through your friends and hopes sector, enlivening your social life and keeping you connected.
So, while Saturn tends to add personal responsibilities to your plate in 2018, the year offers some real joy in your relationships and projects. You’re often found going solo, but you’re still reaching out to others, and people tend to be supportive. You continue to focus on going after your fondest hopes and wishes while also attending to your material affairs.
2018 is powerful for establishing rewarding friendships and group associations. Those of you in business for yourself could enjoy an unusually profitable year.
Do your best to avoid going overboard with self-criticism. It is appropriate now to work on improvements, but it’s important not to waste time on regret. Pressures and responsibilities notwithstanding, there can be exciting social developments this year, and there can be opportunities to share your expertise with associates that shouldn’t be overlooked.
You’re seeing opportunities everywhere this year, and it’s exciting. Saturn in your sign will help you tame the urge to take on too many things–beyond your means or energy levels.
A new theme entering your life this year takes away some of the pressure or unsettled quality surrounding home and family. Your romantic and creative worlds are heating up, but this influence will develop more fully in 2019. Challenges and rewards in close partnerships are also on their way, and you’ll see hints of this theme in 2018.
From June 26-August 27 particularly, it’s important to review your money situation rather than push new financial initiatives ahead.
You have a more acute sense of your responsibilities, duties, and obligations in 2018, and you’re becoming a lot more focused and deliberate in your approach to your life. New beginnings at this time are notable and significant for you in the long run, even if you do not quite see where you’re headed with these things, whether they’re hobbies, personal interests, or studies.
You come into closer touch with your spiritual and emotional renewal needs from November forward. This can be a time when, more often than not, you may very well enjoy your own company!
Your Capricorn 2018 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.
Until November 8, 2018, your connections to others, group associations, and friendships continue to expand and grow. This influence has been with you since October 2017 and continues until November 2018.
This is a time for feeling considerably more confident about the future, and about your ability to set plans in motion that will allow you to accomplish some of your most cherished hopes and dreams.
It’s a time when you are filled with ideas about the future. You are planting seeds, so to speak, aiming to get started on projects that will reap rewards in the future. While this can be exciting, try not to take on more than you can handle. Your vision is quite optimistic, and you might over-estimate what you are capable of doing down the road! However, one or two projects can be inspiring and also quite innovative.
With more contact with others, whether it’s about an expanded in-person group of connections or online, you are sure to come up with new ideas and to be inspired. Others can point you in new directions. There can be a cause that you work towards enthusiastically. A new communications project can excite you and bring you into contact with interesting, helpful people. Business income or opportunities to expand self-employment should increase.
This can be a time of budding friendships and/or group involvements. New people may come into your life and seek out your friendship, or existing friendships may be refreshed or enhanced. Opportunities to advance or for new learning experiences can come through associates, friendships, and networking.
Potential challenges: Over-emphasis on activities that take you away from your practical responsibilities, too often. There may be challenges related to home and family, and problems funding your dreams and plans.
However, for the most part, you are likely to take advantage of this period in your life in order to expand your social life and friends base and to dream up exciting new paths for the future. Some of you could be meeting a partner through a friend, partnering with a friend, or enjoying improved relations with a significant other, particularly from December 2017 to August 2018. There is also special energy with you from January to September 2018 for a boost in your appeal with friends and networks. Your innermost hopes, wishes, and dreams can be a real driving force behind many of your actions this year.
From November 8th onward, your spiritual world, compassion, private life, and tolerance expand and grow. Matters of the past are magnified in your life now. You tend to sort through the attitudes that serve you well, and the behaviors that need to go in order for you to grow and improve during this cycle that runs until December 2019.
This is generally a warm, protective cycle, although with Jupiter in the background in your chart, there may be some sense that you are not truly living or experiencing your life to the fullest, or that your joy in life is not as obvious to others. You may be exploring counseling, spiritual, or psychic talents. There may be some sacrifices involved in your personal relationships.
You may also be especially compassionate and empathetic. This can be a good period for volunteer work, or for work done behind the scenes, in private, or in the helping professions.
You’re sociable when the occasion calls for it, but during this cycle, you get a lot of extra enjoyment through solitude or times of laying low and keeping to yourself.
Potential challenges: Escapism. You might often be tempted to escape your everyday responsibilities and challenges, and should avoid reliance on drugs, drinking, or other “glamorous” forms of escape.
Jupiter’s influence is generally considered positive, and it is, ultimately. However, it acts to magnify the area of the chart that it affects, and at times it can be uncomfortable if you are having difficulties in this area, at least initially. In your case, if you are lonely or if you feel helpless, and if you have troubles facing your past, then this influence can heighten these issues. Ultimately, it’s for the good. The cosmos asks you now to surrender some of your attachments and to surrender to the unknown. Releasing control is necessary. Building your faith is the work you are doing now. While your tendency is to play a supportive role to others at this time, if taken too far, you will need to draw some boundaries when it comes to your energy and time. There is stronger joy in being of service to others, but do be careful that you take care of yourself as well.
However, for the most part, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. Your perceptions heighten. Your ability to make sacrifices for others or for pursuits that you believe in increases and you build confidence in yourself as you help and support others.
Your Capricorn 2018 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.
Until 2020, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that governs your personal mannerisms, personality, image, and appearance. This sector also rules how you initiate things — your first impulse for coping with day-to-day demands. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life — as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.
This influence is with you until 2020. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Capricorn. This year, those born in the first eleven days of Capricorn and those who have an Ascendant of 1-11 degrees of Capricorn are most directly affected. (Capricorns born December 23-January 2, and those who have a Capricorn Ascendant of 1-11 degrees).
During this cycle, you are likely to be more cautious than you usually are and, at times, pessimistic. This transit doesn’t allow you to continue with illusions about the self, the body, and personal capabilities. The end result is a newfound identity and a realistic understanding of the self. In terms of career and projects, outward signs of progress may not be as forthcoming, yet the work that you do during this transit will lay a foundation for future success and progress!
It’s a strong time for literally slimming down if that’s a goal. You can more successfully begin new and improved health regimens, diets, and the like, simply because it is a time when you look in the mirror and see yourself clearly (instead of what you want to see). You can be serious during this phase, with more concern for your responsibilities and duties. You are getting in touch with your inner strength, and this takes some time and adjustment. This is a grounding energy that gets you back in touch with reality.
This is also a significant period for issues surrounding your personal identity and self-image with Saturn, your ruler, in your sign. Try not to come across as a heavy during this period — not everyone is going through the same cycle at the same time as you. However, others are seeing you as more responsible. Self-discipline comes more naturally as well.
The best way to handle Saturn’s transit through your sign is to meet your responsibilities to the best of your ability. Do take a closer look at the areas you’ve allowed to slide, and listen to your feelings of disappointment, but don’t let this turn into regret or resentment. Instead, focus on making improvements and keep in mind the long-term. Short-sightedness now can get you into trouble. Impatience will not be rewarded.
While Saturn in one’s own sign is not the most desired transit, Capricorns understand Saturnine energy and do well with it. Saturn performs very well in Capricorn, in other words. The last time Saturn transited Capricorn was from 1988-1990.
Your 2018 Capricorn Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.
In March 2011, you entered a lengthy cycle in which family and home life can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. This influence is with you until March 2019 with the exception of May 15th to November 6th this year, when you get a taste of the upcoming seven-year theme. These themes are divided this year as follows:
Until May 15th and then after November 6th, you may decide (or you’ve already decided) to move during this cycle, or be in the position to, or you could dramatically change your attitude towards your domestic life. More freedom is sought, and if your current domestic set-up feels confining or limiting, you’ll need to make important changes.
Home life may be up in the air in some way during this period of your life. There can be a sense of being unsettled or uncertain about where you want to lay down roots, for example. Certainly, you can’t force convention or tradition on family or the home during this transit.
Your attitude towards the past and traditions is also transforming quite quickly. Old ties to your past may be severed, and at times this can be unsettling, but ideally, you are taking important steps towards carving out an identity that better suits the “true you.”
Sudden changes, rebelliousness, or conflicts may be experienced in particular in early November and mid-December. Avoid reacting blindly to challenges and instead feel what is important to you before taking action. You can experience a stronger desire to pursue social life or goals, and this can conflict with dealings on the home front. Home demands and personal demands compete and you may go overboard in either or both areas. Restlessness is likely. Sudden opportunities or challenges can pop up related to home, family, and career. Ultimately, they lead to a more balanced approach to your life.
From May 15th to November 6th, 2018, you enter a lengthy period in which your romantic and creative life can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. You are more attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric on a romantic level — or these are the types of people or experiences you attract into your life. Your romantic life is bound to be very colorful this year and in coming years. As well, you are tapping into your “inner genius” when it comes to expressing yourself creatively. This can be a highly inventive period. Unusual opportunities to meet people pop up. This may be a time of unconventional love affairs for some.
Note that this influence kicks in more consistently from March 2019 forward (until April 2026).
Your 2018 Capricorn Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”
Your outer personality and the ways in which you approach life and challenges continue to transform this year. Your personality continues to reshape in 2018. This is certainly a time for reinventing yourself! You will need to resist the urge to control the events of your life, how you come across to others, and your manner during this important cycle. You are learning about your inner motivations, and sometimes this can be an uncomfortable process because you are getting in touch with the darker elements of your psyche at the same time. However, you are ultimately learning that you cannot control the events of your life and you cannot control others and how they feel about you, but you can learn self-control.
You are tapping into your inner power, and how you handle it will make all the difference in the quality of your experiences now.
Challenges with this transit are more likely to show themselves in late November, when you may have taken on far too many personal and professional goals than are helpful for you. Nurture ambitions but don’t push yourself too hard and avoid going over the top. Recognize limits, as difficult as this may seem at the moment! This is especially true from November forward, when it’s important to honor your extra need for rest and relaxation.
In 2018, the North Node continues to challenge you to improve your financial picture. Your finances are evolving in important ways. Dependencies on others are revealed and could feel uncomfortable at first. The ways you handle money need to change, but also your attitude towards how effectively you can make an income, save, and depend on yourself. You experience a strong need to eliminate things you no longer need. You might find that your attitude towards moving forward improves in direct proportion to your ability to rid yourself of excess baggage – the literal leads to the figurative. Shuffling around your finances is likely.
The North Node in your intimacy sector until November 6th points to a real need to share yourself with others in effective, empowering ways, particularly around the eclipses in January/February and July/August.
With an eclipse in mid-July and the North Node in your partnership sector from November 6th, you’ll see the beginnings of a new theme that will play out more fully in 2019, and you are called upon to face up to your needs and desires to partner or to compromise and share.
Your Planetary Ruler in 2018: Saturn, your ruler, is now in your sign, putting you in a stronger position. Saturn is retrograde from April 17th until September 6th, and this is a natural period for catching your breath, introspection, and reassessing your goals. The remainder of the year, Saturn is direct, and you tend to feel most effective taking action.
| Jupiter | Saturn | Uranus | Pluto |
|---|
The year ahead holds terrific potential for you for improved work, health, habits, and personal enjoyment, dear Gemini, as well as for close relationships from November forward. You’re in the position to enjoy the work you do, services you provide, or daily routines more fully this year. There can be increased job satisfaction or improved opportunities with your work in 2018. You derive more enjoyment and pleasure in methods or programs to improve your health or fitness, and you may very well find the right doctor, therapist, or information that sets you on a path to wellness.
You’re also likely to receive some push to improve your financial life in addition to lifestyle. This is an important time to manage debts and to make valuable lifestyle changes.
Saturn has left its opposition to your sign, and this takes some of the direct pressure off your life. Even so, Saturn has moved into a position of a bit of a nag — guilt, adjustments, and some worry are possibilities. For some, with this influence, there can be decreased desire or opportunities for intimacy, possibly some fear or disdain for the confines of an intense relationship, or slight strains on existing partnerships. This is a time for coming to terms with recent relationship decisions and realizations. Those of you who have made or strengthened a commitment will now focus on the merging process, which isn’t always easy. Others who may have broken long-term commitments now face the challenges of reorganizing their lives – also tricky, but doable. You have a lot of planetary support for these things, even if human backing is not always available!
Planning more carefully for your future is essential, particularly with finances on the leaner side (there may be less support from others, for example). Aim to save a little more or control spending if possible. The good news is that you have a lot of power to turn your life around and to put some financial problems behind you in 2018.
This year is likely to be a period of preparation rather than new initiatives in a general sense. Luckily, you’re in a happy frame of mind for making adjustments and improvements.
Uranus moving out of your friendship sector, while not yet a permanent move, can tone down inconsistencies and unpredictability in your social life. These things will be more fully realized next year, but you should see more stability with friends now.
In November, you begin a yearlong cycle that is excellent for partnerships. It’s a fortunate period for bringing conflicts to peaceful and reasonable resolutions and for mutually beneficial arrangements. Helpful people come into your life now.
Beautiful energy is with you for finding your calling, or at the very least, making a commitment to enjoy the work you do in the moment and having faith that it will lead you along the right path. In other words, you no longer feel as weighed down by indecision. You’re likely to feel less pressure to come up with a definite path, and this can help you along.
Your Gemini 2018 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.
Until November 8, 2018, your work, daily routines, and health endeavors continue to expand, improve, and grow. This is a time when your work projects or duties expand, or you have increased opportunities for employment. You can be so confident in your ability to take on projects and endeavors, however, that you overload your plate, so do watch for that. This influence is with you until December 2019, lasting a good thirteen months.
You find more joy in your work (as long as you don’t overload), self-improvement endeavors, and taking care of your health. If you provide a service to others, it is likely to prosper, largely because you’re enjoying it more. You are especially successful in hiring people to work for you, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. It can be easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle or significantly improve an existing one. Work tends to be very available to you. You can be very focused on what really matters to get ahead, and recognition for your efforts may be forthcoming, particularly until August, when higher-ups recognize your talents and efforts.
You are proud of how useful you are to others during this cycle. The more integrity and honesty you bring to your services, the more “payback” you will receive. Health is likely to prosper now, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more likely to be successful. You are bringing fresh and original ideas to the work you do and the services you offer. Overload or the magnification of problems surrounding work can be experienced during this cycle. There is a tendency now to focus on the details of your work, and you might sometimes feel a little overwhelmed with monotonous tasks. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don’t watch your sweet tooth.
Your work might involve more services or the assisting of others during this cycle, and for some, health-related or healing professions can be attractive at this time.
Challenges may occur sporadically until September, when there can be vague health issues, the need for time away from your duties either to take care of yourself or of others requiring care, or the consequences of taking on so much that you have trouble taking time for yourself.
However, for the most part, this is a good time for enjoying others’ appreciation for what you do or for your skills, for finding work, and for working relationships. Particularly since December 2017 and until August 2018, there is powerfully creative, generous energy with you for matters related to your career and reputation. This can be a spiritually rich period as well.
Partnership is closely tied to work and health during this period, which can mean you are partnering up to work or improve your health or you meet a significant other through your work or through the pursuit of health goals. For some, you may be providing counseling services in your work.
From November 8th onward, your partnerships, relating abilities, and powers of negotiation begin to grow and expand. New partnership opportunities (yes, even plural) can arrive now, or the chance to bring fresh energy to an existing committed relationship emerges. Relationships entered into now are generally successful and happy — at least for the time being, they are mutually beneficial. Sometimes, this transit absolves an existing partnership, but if this is the case, it is likely to come as a relief, or it is a “blessing in disguise.” Meeting someone better for you at this point in your life may be a reason for this. Your ability to get along with others is enhanced as you are especially willing to compromise, and you are more appealing than usual. This influence will stick with you until December 2019.
You can negotiate more successfully, and, if applicable, win in legal matters. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past can be resolved, and more casual disputes can be settled amicably as well. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from same. Good publicity may come your way. If your career has you working with or before the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, particularly if you do counseling or negotiating in your job. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, difficult relationships may be absolved, or successful new ones are entered into during this period.
For many of you, you are attracting people who want to help, who are on your side, and who take a keen interest in you.
Potential negatives: You may be attracting partners who are more concerned with freedom than with pairing, or who seem to be quite extravagant or full of themselves. There could be troubles associated with an existing partner’s extravagance or demand for freedom, and you might feel this more prominently in late November.
However, you’ll get a chance to work through conflicts of interests and overload throughout this period. For the most part, you are likely to enjoy an improved social life during this cycle. You learn a lot through your experiences and interactions with an important “other.” While there are problems to iron out, there is a motivating, ambitious feel to this time. The focus should be on strengthening, building, and developing your connections.
Your Gemini 2018 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.
Until 2020, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that rules intimacy, sharing, and shared finances, or money and property that comes from a source other than your own personal income. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.
This influence will be with you until 2020. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Gemini. This year, those born in the first two days of Gemini, and those with a Gemini Ascendant of 0-2 degrees are most affected.
Tests can come to your financial and intimate worlds during this cycle. You may be dealing with fears of surrendering yourself, emotionally or financially, to others. Support from others may not be as forthcoming as it has been in the past. For example, a partner’s income may be reduced, or another form of financial support may be taken away or decreased during this period. This requires you to assume more independence in terms of making a living.
Emotionally, there can be a feeling that others are not as supportive. There can be delays or difficulties in general when it comes to getting what you want or need from others. Intimacy may seem to dry up before it gets better.
However, it’s a strong time for handling financial matters, especially debts and taxes, in a logical and realistic manner. These are unlikely to be drastic changes, but rather more on the lines of slow but sure progress, little by little. While this period can be a tad difficult at times, particularly when Saturn forms a quincunx to your Sun or Ascendant, there are some dazzling spots, making it a rewarding period overall, particularly if you focus more on long-term benefits and less on short-term frustrations. Saturn occupies a sign that it rules, Capricorn, during this period, and performs very well here as a result. The last time Saturn moved through Capricorn was from 1988-1990.
Your 2018 Gemini Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.
In March 2011, you entered a lengthy cycle in which friendships and group associations may have been unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. This long-term influence continues until March 2019 but it moves on for part of 2018 before returning to complete its journey. Themes in 2018 are divided as follows:
Until May 15th, and then from November 6th forward, you are attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric. Your social life is bound to be very colorful again during this period. You can feel especially passionate about a cause or belief.
Challenges in friendships or with dreams and goals may come in early November and mid-December, when unreliability or abrupt changes can pull you away from your emotional center. There can be difficulties balancing your social life and attention to your work and daily routines. You could be struggling with a need to take a few risks and strike out into the world, but there is an often equal pull towards work and health pursuits. Periods of liberation and opportunity are also with you this year. Your perspective can change completely, in a very positive way, through a new or unusual friend or new information that comes your way.
From May 15th to November 6th, 2018, you begin a lengthy cycle of review of your past attachments, those things keeping you from exploring your individuality, and the things that make you unique. This process will span many years (after a hiatus until March 2019, this theme is with you until April 2026). For now in 2018, you get a taste of this influence.
There can be some elements of your private life that are exposed, perhaps secrets surface or your private life is uprooted. This may feel uncomfortable at first, but it’s part of a process that involves detaching yourself from certain areas of your private life and your past. The aim now is to free yourself from attitudes that have restricted you from moving forward with your life. Ultimately, you’ll be freer to start anew – a life that in which you express yourself more authentically. Circumstances are such that this process comes more easily and naturally in August. You are working hard at letting go of those attachments that simply don’t serve you well any longer, and you’re rather fearless doing so.
Changes can feel a little more challenging particularly in late May and early June when there can be problems balancing your attention to work and private time.
Otherwise, this is an important time for releasing negative attachments. Your intuition becomes extremely powerful and your belief system can metamorphose, incorporating different or more spirituality.
Your 2018 Gemini Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”
Attitudes towards dependencies on others, finances, and intimacy continue to transform this year. Particularly in November, there could be some confusion in a relationship, or about your feelings for someone. This can also be a time when the temptation to go overboard with risk-taking, spending, lending, or gambling should be watched. However, you get wonderful support for making empowering changes and choices, especially from January to September, and particularly through work, service, health efforts, and improved daily routines.
In 2018, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity shift the attention from your personal life to the world of mentality.
The North Node continues its transit of your communications and transportation sector until November 6th, pointing to a real need to reach out, connect, make contact, learn, and communicate, as these things can bring wonderful benefits and much joy to your life, particularly around the eclipses in January/February and July/August.
The eclipses mostly affect your communications and transportation sectors, and you’re dealing with matters revolving around how you connect with others and get around. Your ability to manage the demands of daily life is tested, and changes may be necessary in order to become more effective. Your personal belief system is also evolving this year. Transportation can be a sudden issue. Opening up communications with others is a challenge but also a potential joy this year. Learning to slow down, to be sensitive to social graces and networks, and to sensitize yourself to others’ needs and communications without fear of being tied down, will release you from some of your nervous tension and help you to achieve more happiness and inner balance. Try not to run from small talk, even if you fear that you’ll waste your time.
In mid-July, the first of a new set of eclipses occurs in your finances sector. This theme will play out more fully in 2019, but you can see a first push towards getting your finances in order this year. You will be called upon to strike a balance between your own needs for security and comfort and the same needs of other people, such as those of a significant other. You are learning to ask for what you deserve and to take charge of your earnings. The North Node in your finance sector from November 6th forward points to a real need to manage your income, resources, valuables, and talents.
Your Planetary Ruler in 2018: Your ruler, Mercury, moves through the zodiac fairly quickly, and reflects your many and varied interests. Mercury’s retrograde periods are times for reflection and perhaps some backtracking. In 2018, Mercury retrogrades three times, and these periods are from March 22-April 15, July 26-August 19, and November 16-December 6. These periods require reassessing issues, reflection, and taking things a little more slowly. More power to you when Mercury is in your sign, and in 2018, this occurs from May 30-June 12.
