Though finances are not a massive issue, the career is of great importance and a major focus. Prestige and status seem more important than mere money. You would take a high prestige assignment or position even if the pay was mediocre. Status trumps earnings. Many people don’t think this way, but you do. And, you could be right. Career advancement – career status – often leads to more money down the road.
Geminis are flexible enough people, and this is so in finance too. The Moon, your financial planet, is perhaps the most adaptable and changeable of all the planets. She will move through every sector of your chart in any given month. She will make aspects with every planet, every month. Thus money and earnings opportunities can come to you from various places and people in any given month. These short-term trends are best dealt within the monthly reports.
In general, the New and Full Moons tends to be financially robust days. Moreover, your earning power is greater when the Moon is waxing or growing larger rather than when it is getting smaller or waning. When the Moon is waxing it is good to invest where you want ‘growth’ to happen. When the Moon is waning it is good to use any spare cash to pay back debts or other obligations. These are things that you want to reduce and you get cosmic help here.
Your prosperity should be stronger later in the year, from October 11 onwards. There are lucrative job opportunities coming and they will probably pay well.
Two Lunar Eclipses this year – one on February 11 and the other on August 7 – will shake up the pecuniary life. This happens every year, so it is not anything to be concerned. You’ve gone through this many times. Eclipses force financial ‘course corrections’. Twice a year – every year – you get a chance to make such necessary changes to the monetary life.
Career is decent this year, but will also do a lot better from October 11 onwards. On that date, Jupiter will now begin to make pleasing aspects to your career planet, Neptune. On December 21, Saturn will get away from his stressful aspect to Neptune and this will further improve things. In the meantime, you have to work a little harder.
A Solar Eclipse on February 26 will directly hit your career planet, and it occurs in your 10th house of career. So this will bring shake-ups in your company or industry. Course corrections will be needed for your career. And you will have them.
As we mentioned, you need an idealistic, meaningful career. Just being ‘worldly success’ is not sufficient. Many of you will gravitate to non-profit organizations or charitable or spiritual-type organizations. The fine arts will also call upon many of you. You don’t need to be an actual artist or performer, but can be linked to the business, administrative side of things.
