Gemini Weekly Horoscope | January 15th – 21st, 2024
You’re clever enough to navigate any rough passage. A born magician with a repertoire of tricks up your sleeve, you can always produce a rabbit as long as there’s a hat. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for a loved one or friend. Maybe they’re too gullible, easily confused, or a hot mess. In any case, you’ll need to walk them through a treacherous transition this week. It’s like that scene in the movie Train to Busan where the passengers have to circumvent a car full of zombies. Stay calm, take things one step at a time, and you’ll make it to the other side.

An extraordinary astrological event will be taking place on January 20th. This is when the Sun and Pluto form their last conjunction in the final degree of Capricorn before crossing over the zodiacal threshold into Aquarius.
For some signs (mostly the earth and water ones), this marks the concluding stage of a years’ long transformation that began in 2008 or 2009. You’ve completed your curriculum of trials and tribulations and are now your own person. You can no longer deny the individual you have worked so hard to be.
And for others? If you’re an air sign, the Sun and Pluto in Aquarius will bring a centeredness and command the likes of which you’ve never felt before. With this comes an accountability for your words and actions, so choose them carefully because there will be no passing the buck.
If you’re a fire sign, then you will experience an awakening from deep inside. There will be no more sitting on the sidelines. The rehearsal period for your life is over, and it’s time to step onstage.

Have you gone through hell and high water only to reach a dead end? That’s what it will feel like when your Ruling Planet the Moon squares the Sun on January 17th. You deserve more for having figured out an upside-down situation, come up with a plan, and then stitch together a series of makeshift solutions to get you from where you were to where you are today. Everything depended on this last step and now it’s blocked. Actually, you need to wait for both the Sun and Pluto to move into Aquarius. Once settled, you’ll espy the opening you’re looking for on the 28th.

The Sun conjoins Pluto for the last time in Capricorn on January 20th. This may leave you with more mixed emotions than expected. For sixteen years you’ve traveled an arduous path. You suffered setbacks, paid enormous prices, but there was also renewal and triumph. You may not have liked the road you were on, but you knew where you were going. Now that Pluto is moving on, you may feel like an inmate released from prison – happy to be free, but anxious about what comes next. Just remember the gifts that Pluto has given you – the wealth of experience and the wisdom to use it.

Sometimes we’re not ready to make the decisions that need to be made. Circumstances may hold your feet to the fire, but that doesn’t mean you’re prepared to act. For months you’ve watched as the formulas for success and fail-safe guarantees fell short of what you need to get by. In fact, you’ve begun to question what “getting by” really means. You’re in a place where the old answers don’t work, and the new ones are barely formed. Thankfully Jupiter in Taurus is a steadfast guardian. It will hold things together until you feel the ground beneath your feet again in just a few weeks.

You’ll see one last bit of business conclude favorably in the days leading up to the Sun/Pluto conjunction on January 20th. It could be a bonus or a boon. Consider it a send-off from your patron planet Pluto winding up its stay in the zodiac sign of the goat. For others, Pluto in Capricorn has been an unmitigated disaster, but for you? You’ve received a lot of benefits – especially in the past few years as Capricorn energy always supports Scorpio. Will this continue when Pluto enters Aquarius? Not exactly because of the square, but it will press you to perform and produce like never before.

After weeks of trying to get a loved one or friend to do what’s best, it looks like you’ll be taking matters into your own hands. You could grow old waiting for him/her to make the right decision, so it only makes sense to reach out to others for help. A Mercury/Saturn sextile on January 18 followed by a trine to Jupiter the following day shows a rare alignment of planets and circumstances. Not only will you get outside assistance, people may even suggest a better approach. The end result will be doing what should have been done all along – and without anyone catching on.

Read MoreA Change In Disposition | January 8th – 14th, 2024
Mars and Saturn are regarded as malefics in Astrology. In the classic tradition, these were the planets that brought harm and misfortune.
Mars was associated with cruelty and malice while Saturn was connected to bad luck and failure. However these planets didn’t always bring bad things any more than the benefics – Venus and Jupiter – brought good. It all depends on the relationship they make to one another in the sky.
This week reveals a positive side to Mars and Saturn. Mars becomes more assertive (rather than forceful) while Saturn rewards those who have stayed the course when things got tough. Even a Sun/Uranus trine on January 9th will bring out a more encouraging side to the typically unruly Uranus by making a farfetched idea surprisingly doable.
This is the week for bold moves (as long they’re mutually beneficial) and subtle breakthroughs that lead the way up and over an impasse. Follow the planets in this and you’ll discover that they’re not so malefic after all.

Favorable planetary aspects this week promise to ease the pain of Holiday bills. This cosmic assist runs the gamut from a bump in sales to an unexpected dividend or maybe even the forgiveness of a debt. You have Jupiter in Taurus to thank for this financial boost at a time when you could really use it, however there’s more if you’re interested. It looks like a new position may be opening up at work or an opportunity to expand if you run your own business. What you’ll have to invest time and energy-wise is daunting, but the pay off in April will be worth it.

You should say “yes”, because you never know when this sort of offer or opportunity will come again. As a Pisces, you prefer to keep things open-ended. Maybe it stems from a fear of commitment, safeguarding your options, or a dread that reality won’t live up to expectations. All these concerns make sense given the current Mercury/Neptune square, but no choice is still a choice and you could lose out by sidestepping a decision. Trust in the Mars/Saturn sextile on January 9th. Not only will you feel relieved to be free of a mental quandary, but you’ll soon discover that following through has tangible benefits.
