2010 PROSPECTS FOR GEMINI

2010 SUMMARY
Your social status will continue to grow – and you will have the chance to bask in praise for all your efforts.

THE YEAR AHEAD
This is bound to be another busy year, perhaps more so than last – but very different. There’s a shift taking place from being preoccupied by work and routine responsibilities into being concerned with much bigger issues – like happiness in your closest relationships! Life begins to look decidedly interesting after July when your levels of determination, self-discipline and raw energy rise simultaneously. The last thing to do, though, is stretch yourself too far. If you do, then you may be either overcome by a sense of confusion regarding professional activities or begin to feel that plans are grinding to a halt. Pace yourself properly and you will come through with flying colours.

LOVE AND ROMANCE
You will never entirely lose your natural shyness, but you’re becoming ever more willing to open up. Socially, March is secretive, favouring discreet liaisons, but April is much more confident and could bring dramatic events occurring around the electrifying Full Moon on the 30th. Don’t allow yourself to be a doormat and arrange social affairs to suit yourself and take hold of the reins where emotional matters are concerned. On the financial front, you must take strenuous steps to get organised if your romantic dreams are dependent on the size of your bank balance. Make your cash work towards your deeper happiness.

KEY DATE:
April brings your most powerful stars for many years.

CAREER AND MONEY
This is sure to be an ambitious period and, even if you’ve paid no attention to career issues over the last year, you will suddenly find yourself making applications, seeking promotion and generally trying to secure respect from friends and colleagues. Partners may have to learn to take second place. The last half of the year brings a set of challenging planetary alignments although you will be less affected than will many of your friends. Your financial affairs could be in temporary turmoil, but with refreshing and hopefully profitable consequences in the end.

HOME AND FAMILY
The combined impact of all your friendly planets provides you with firm foundations on which to build. You can be comfortable in the knowledge that your archetypal, essential nature, especially your gentle conservatism, is just what the situation demands until at least April or May. However, a sub-plot is being played out by Venus, planet of love. This is likely to mean that your personal relationships, particularly those that impinge on your family life, are due to go through an uncertain phase after August. You would be well advised to be flexible and accommodate other people’s wishes.

BE CAUTIOUS
Keep your feet firmly on the ground in February.

TIP FOR THE YEAR
Opt for long-term friendships and deep commitments.
