You will have a very public life in December, dear Gemini. Almost all of the migrating planets, except Jupiter, have now reached the upper levels of your chart, above the horizon line, so you are sure to be out and about, and the entire world will notice you.

The new moon of November 29 will still color your experiences in early December. A partner seems to have been very vocal lately and not easy to persuade on almost any point. The ancient astrologers call the area of your chart where those transiting planets are found now the house of open enemies. This is a bit of an extreme title for this house – you might say a little more accurately that detractors will be vocal. You may have only one detractor or a whole group of them. How you feel with Saturn opposed to the Sun depends on your recent experiences – by thinking back, you will able to pinpoint who has been giving you pause and who will continue to do so.

That new moon of late last month November 29 was quite friendly. Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, will send the moon a lovely golden beam from your house of creativity and romance, making for an enchanting time. Mars will send his high-octane energy from your ninth house of travel, international relationships, academia, legal moves, and the media, such as assignments in publishing, broadcasting or the Internet / digital world, or you might be the subject. Neptune will be in hard angle, however, so there are missing pieces of information or a need to make a decision about a business partner / sweetheart / spouse in the face of some ambiguity.

On the ledger for November 29, you have many supportive aspects and only Neptune to give you pause. If you want to know the final outcome of a new or full moon, we always look to the ruler of the new or full moon. This is a new moon in Sagittarius, so Sagittarius’ ruler, Jupiter, will tell the tale of how things work out. Jupiter is beautifully oriented to the new moon, so, try to get the information you don’t have (or that Neptune is obscuring) by digging or asking questions. As Buddha has been quoted as saying, “Three things cannot be long hidden: the Sun, the moon and the truth.” Take heart in knowing that, dear Gemini.

I should mention here that Mercury will be retrograde from December 19 to January 8. Mercury is your ruling planet so although a weak, sleeping Mercury affects everyone, it will affect you more. We always feel the approaching Mercury retrograde two weeks earlier, so this month that will be soon as December 6. You do have to holiday shop early, or else buy gift certificates. If you go that latter route, be sure to photocopy the card on the front and back, with the bar code in case it gets lost. Be sure you know the store your friend or relative loves to shop in or you will have missed the mark.

You must never sign contracts with Mercury retrograde, or you will have to renegotiate the deal later, again. It is considered very bad to buy electronic items during the retrograde, so you might want to start the month buying those.

Mars will start the month in Aquarius, a holdover from a tour that started November 8. You love the tour of Mars through Aquarius, for it is energizing your international travel house. It’s very possible you will be on a very distant trip to an exciting country based far from yours. Or, you may go to the far other coast of your own country. If you are not thinking about a long trip, you may be on the phone and email with editors, colleagues, or executives abroad, and working on an important project together. The ninth house rules, aside from travel, publishing, broadcasting, Internet, academia, immigration / passport / visa / green card, legal matters, and other intellectual matters.

December 1 will be an exceptional day, when Mars in Aquarius will be in precise 120-degree angle to Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck. This is an aspect of enormous happiness. Saturn will jump in and help you shine, and bring long-range benefits to all you do on this day. If your birthday falls on June 7, plus or minus four days, you will enjoy it even more.

The month is filled with shiny, shimmering days that will light up the night sky and give you lots of reasons for hope. Even though Mercury will be out of phase, you will still have a chance to enjoy December very much.

December 6 will be a surprisingly happy day too. A friend will likely bring you a lovely experience, and when news arrives, it will be a complete surprise. Active Mars will be in sync with Uranus, and the unexpected development will likely make you smile. December 6 will be a really good day for you.

Your days will keep getting better. One of your best days of all will be December 9, when the Sun and Jupiter will be exceptional harmony. If you write or speak / lecture / teach for a living or are involved with editing, acting, public relations, publicity, app development, telecommunications, or any of the other communication arts, you will do exceedingly well on this day.

You may feel exhausted over the weekend of December 10-11, when Saturn is opposed to the Sun. This is a hard aspect, so as you see, sparkling gem-like days will stand next to this very tough one. Actually, this is the only day I would advise you to take it easy and rest. It would be easy for you to become overly sensitive to criticism, so don’t become deflated and doubt your capabilities over this weekend. Someone may criticize your and hurt your feelings, or tell you a certain reality that sounds crushing. You might want to take the part of the advice that is useful and discard the rest.

In this up-and-down week, Monday, December 12, you will find yourself happy again. A friend may again be an asset to you, and if you are traveling together or doing any sort of communication project together, you will do exceptionally well.

This month the full moon will fall in Gemini on December 13 at 22 degrees. Something of enormous importance is coming to fruition within four days of this date. You will have Jupiter and Uranus in ideal angles, so again, pleasure, love, romance, fun, and warm feelings from a sweetheart, spouse, group of friends, your community, or fan base will thrill you. Saturn, however, will conjunct the Sun and oppose the moon. It will be imperative that you take it slow and easy. If you find yourself feeling depressed, it may be because you are overtired.

If your birthday falls on June 14, plus or minus four days, you will feel this full moon the most. The same is true for you if you have Gemini rising, or a natal planet or moon in Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius at 22 degrees, plus or minus five degrees. As you see, the results will be mixed, but you have extraordinary help from Jupiter and Uranus. Taskmaster Saturn will remind you that you are carrying quite a bit of responsibility, and that others are depending on you. You do have the ability to carry on, even if you find your confidence is temporarily shaken. The wonderful quality about you is how fast you bounce back.

This full moon puts Mercury in the lead, and although in weakened retrograde state, Mercury will be conjunct Pluto – and that is one powerful, regenerative aspect. Mercury will be in friendly angle to Neptune, so your creative ingenuity and creativity will show you the answers at the time of the full moon. You see, all is well that ends well.

Gemini of every marital status can count on Venus in Aquarius to keep things vibrant, from December 8 straight through to January 2 – perfect timing for a festive holiday season. Travel will fan the fires of love during the first three weeks, so by all means – do your best to plan a getaway.

The holidays will be extra special this year, with a group of rare and wonderful aspects. This year, Christmas and Hanukkah fall on the same day, December 25, and Kwanzaa falls, as is usual, December 26. This is lovely! The transiting moon will first be in Scorpio and then move to Sagittarius, the latter being the international sign, linking all people in one universal family of man. Scorpio is a sign of spirituality, belief, and regeneration, so it seems to be fitting to have those signs highlighted.

On December 24, Saturn will be in ideal angle to Uranus, the first of three such meetings that will not occur again until 2047. The next two rare meetings of these two planets will come on May 18 and November 11, a beautiful feature of 2017. The job of Uranus is to look for all that is outworn and no longer relevant to your future, and to sweep it away. Uranus strikes like lightning, but does work with you to build something new. Saturn’s job is always to create lasting structure, so in coming months, because these planets move very slowly, you will be making changes that you like, and that will be in place a long time.

On December 25, Venus, planet of love, affection, and beauty, will meet with Jupiter in your fifth house of romance, and with Uranus, the planet ruling surprises (this time, good ones)! Venus will also work with Saturn, so that the promises you make to the ones you love will be promises to keep, now and forever.

On the day after Christmas, December 26, Mars, by late month in Pisces, will send a missive to the Sun, giving you a great day to hear praise about your work and possible talk about a new professional role for you. If you are self-employed, you may get sensational publicity on this day. On December 30, Neptune, the ruler of your house of fame and honors, will also signal the Sun. There is no doubt that the end of December will be your time to shine professionally. Keep in mind that the days I mentioned have a plus one extra day attached to them.

The new moon of December 29, plus the ten days that follow in January, will bring an enormous emphasis on money. If anyone owes you, such as from a court settlement, insurance payout, or for venture capital, you will likely see a wire transfer for these types of funds at the very end of December. You will have a choir of support – Neptune, Pluto, and Mars will see to it that you see your cash. It will be an excellent time to do financial year-end planning. You may find ways to make legal deductions to taxes that you didn’t know about, and ways to make your savings grow bigger.

New Year’s Eve will bring the transiting moon to Aquarius, a fellow air sign like yours. This is terrific news, for you will likely be with friends to ring in the New Year. Happy New Year, dear Gemini!

December is when you’ll need to deal with a significant other who won’t always see eye-to-eye with you. Learning the give-and-take that comes with any committed partnership, in love and marriage or in regard to a business venture, is the entire message of taskmaster Saturn these days. Fortunately, you are a flexible Gemini, able to come up with alternative plans and methods when needed. You also are the zodiac’s master communicator, so if anyone can reach peaceful accord, it’s you.

Jupiter is standing in the wings from your house of love, helping you strongly during in the first ten days of December, so if you are in a discussion with your steady partner that does not go the way you had initially hoped, Jupiter will remind you both that you belong together. If the partner involved is your business partner, ask about details, as you have Neptune spreading fog over the situation, and facts may be obscured. Jupiter, however, will lend his gifts of creativity to the situation. A comforting fact to keep in mind is that Jupiter will remain in your fifth house of love until next year, October 2017, so you can count on an enchanting period for matters of love over a long, sustained period.

Mars will likely cause you to travel a far distance, and your trip will go well, for any purpose, especially on December 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24-25. This is true even though Mercury, which rules travel, will be exerting a weak signal as it prepares to retrograde on December 19. Mars will pick up the banner for you – trips will be successful as long as you pack and label your bags carefully, check that you have your ID before you go to the airport, keep track of your possessions, and if driving for all or part of the trip, that you have an accurate address and instructions to get to your destination – don’t rely solely on GPS.

Financially you appear to be near obsessed with tax planning, investments, and having your ledgers line up perfectly. Mars has centered you on money matters and discussion since early November. Good idea.

Mercury, your ruling planet, will go retrograde in Capricorn in your financial eighth house on December 19 until January 8, suggesting that you may find checks due to you to be late. If anyone has not yet paid you, and weeks have gone by, send another reminder statement in early December. Be careful in your record keeping, for you might make a mistake.

Once you come to the new moon in Capricorn 8 degrees later in the month, December 29, your interest in tax planning, investigating your coverage for insurance, and other financial details will intensify even more. That new moon is perfect for these types of discussions, for it will be in the big-money sign of Capricorn. This will be an unusually friendly new moon.

Concerning holiday shopping, it appears the stores will be low on stock this holiday season, so shop early – this is especially important advice if you hope to buy one or more electronics as gifts. If you can’t get your list done by December 5, then consider giving gift certificates from your recipient’s favorite retailer.

A matter of extreme importance to you will come to fruition by the full moon in Gemini on Tuesday, December 13, plus or minus four days. Jupiter will smile on this full moon from your house of true love, a wildly romantic and exceedingly rare aspect. If the culmination that this full moon will bring involves business, you will be lauded for your creativity.

Just when the world begins to quiet down for the holidays, beginning December 19 to January 27, your career will take off like a rocket, thanks to the move of Mars to Pisces to fill your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement for the first time since January – February 2015, nearly two years ago. Positive press will come to you, and by December 30, you may see your photo in the news or you may appear on television or the Internet (or both).

When it comes to romance, you will have a somewhat uneven path. A super romantic day will be December 9, a day that will be a “must” to socialize, due to a beautiful alignment between happiness planet Jupiter and the Sun.

The following day, however – December 10 – might bring a disagreement between you and your partner, possibly concerning money. This hard day could spill a little into December 11 too. Be careful how you handle any discussion, and try not to panic if the conversation goes in the wrong direction. It will help to know that your interaction will be less critical and more rational in two days. Listen well, and in the meantime, say little. You can always suggest that you both think about what was said and regroup in a few days.

The festivities of your social life will build by the second half of the month. On Monday, December 12, you may get a surprise invitation from a friend to attend a party, and if so, you must go, for Uranus will see to it that you have plenty of fun, and you may also possibly discover a few tips about getting ahead.

If you have a basically sound relationship, it will grow closer, and some single Gemini will get engaged. Gemini of every marital status can count on Venus in Aquarius to keep things vibrant, from December 8 straight through to January 2 – perfect timing for a fun holiday season. Travel will fan the fires of love during the first three weeks, so by all means – do your best to plan a getaway.

Your growing career status will likely earn you quite a sum of money on or near December 27, either in terms of a line of credit, investment sponsorship, loan, settlement, commission, bonus, royalty, or licensing fees due to you. Or, if you are self-employed, a major client may walk in the door with a lucrative assignment or proposal, buoying your spirits for a successful 2017.

The new moon of December 29, and the ten days that follow in January, will bring a big emphasis on money. If anyone owes you, such as from a court settlement, insurance payout, or for venture capital, you will likely see a wire transfer for these type funds at the very end of December. You will have a choir of support – Neptune, Pluto and Mars will see to it that you see your cash. It will be an excellent time to do financial year-end planning.
