How you handle yourself during 2025 will set the foundation for developing your career or future collaborations. With Venus applying an exact conjunction to Neptune on the weekend of January 31st, then to the North Node of Fate the next day on February 1st, you will experience opportunities to actualize your desired image—if you practice self-preservation. This year, make necessary cuts and breakups for your personal development. Having the confidence to recognize that you need to surround yourself with only kind and respectful people will support your long-term goals.
Sometimes, we can fall into the habit of excitedly taking notes on all of our dreams, ideas, and whimsical ideas, only to neglect our focus. Gemini, support your goals and manifest your desires by reviewing your work! Each doodle, sketch, and quote you pencil into your journal is your labor of love.
Looking back can be a humbling experience. Recognizing how far away we are from where we want to be can feel highly uncomfortable, which is precisely why we must constantly reflect on how much we have grown—this is part of respecting the process. You must walk down memory lane to fully appreciate your development and show appreciation for where you are on the Growing Edge now.

Communication, networking, curiosity, quick witted. We connect with like minds and build a network of understanding.

A Gemini moon's emotion can shift directions quickly in the breeze.
Talk it all out now; people are ready to hear other perspectives and change their minds. Just don't ask for them to concentrate too long on any one thing, or go into great depth. The mood is nervy, talkative, humorous, alert, but scattered.
Moon in Gemini speeds our thoughts and nerves. It's time to weave words: talk listen, laugh, sing and write. Network, negotiate, rearrange; juggle possibilities; just don't get spread too thin.

It’s wonderful to see the effects of the stars and planets mirrored back at us in our daily life. The saying “as above so below” screams out at us to pay attention and notice the small details of Mother Earth.
This glyph represents the number two. In this phase of the zodiac we start to look outside ourselves and interact with the outside world.
While Signs like Aries, Taurus and Cancer represent inner emotions and process, Gemini sweeps it’s gaze out over the land and starts exploring our relationship as individuals in relation to the “other”.
Plants are germinating and pollinating with all their might and insects are buzzing all around. The world is alive and sparkling.
Gemini marks the final season of Spring, as we prepare to move into the hot summer months plants and animals’ mate, court and spread their seeds.
The Gemini time of day is late morning. Our brains and bodies have already awoken from sleep and we’re ready to start moving forward with our day!
This time of day is great for learning and digesting information, something Gemini’s do very well. We step past the cloud of sleep and are not yet fatigued from the day ahead. Our brains are fresh and malleable.
Be purposeful and intentional with the information you surround yourself with during this time of day.
Gemini, as the twins, it only fits that this sign should rule over the hands, arms and lungs. Hands are one of the most efficient modes of communication, we talk with our hands subconsciously most of the time.
In Sign Language, the hands are the sole method of communication along with lip reading and other body language. Gemini is deeply rooted in language and communication—the lungs and hands together create speech and body language.
The lung’s also control our breath, and in turn our mental state. Deep slow breathing calms the mind and sharpens our focus. The lungs themselves even look like the Gemini Glyph.
These planets buzz with expression! The planet in these signs will affect how we communicate and also may experience large swings or duality of emotions.
For example, a person with a Venus in Gemini tends to want dynamic and intellectual love affairs. Though they may be very passionately or affectionate one day, and the next be aloof and distant.
“The Houses (twelve pie shaped sections) of our personal birth chart attend to all areas of our life. Each house represents a basic facet of human experience from birth to death.”
The placement of each house in your natal chart is dependent on your rising sign. A person with an Aries rising has what is called a “natural chart”. A rising sign is the sign ascending on the eastern horizon on the time of your birth, it can be calculated using a rising sign calculator here!
The Third House highlights practical thought and our capacity to explore, learn and share communications. We are curious to understand and delight in the associations we make. Strengthen connections with peers, and team up. (Air)

Mercury is also connected with Virgo, though this archetype gets expressed differently in each sign.
Mercury is "The Thinker," and involves our communication skills: what we say, our words, our voice, and our thoughts, including the “Teacher/Student, Master/Apprentice mode.
Mercury affects how we connect with all the media tools of the day—our computers, phones, and even the postal, publishing and recording systems!
