Gemini Monthly Horoscope – Gemini Horoscope for March 2023 From the AstroTwins

MONTH OF July

Feeling adrift, Gemini? We want to start your July forecast with a reminder that you’re on a celestial sabbatical for the rest of the year—and the universe is in charge of your itinerary. From May 16, 2023, until May 25, 2024, Jupiter, the planet of personal growth and expansion, is in Taurus and your twelfth house of miracles, surrender and closure. 

You’re rounding out a 12-year chapter of your life in preparation for Jupiter’s entry into Gemini next May. Between now and then, you may be letting go of some of the “pillars” that have defined you, perhaps grieving or making peace with things that didn’t work out as you’d hoped. You’ll be challenged to trust that the universe has something better in store for you, even if you can’t see it yet!

In the meantime, you’re steeped in a process of un-learning, release and transformation—like a yearlong spiritual retreat. That’s going to require some inner work that can stretch you into new places. It will also demand patience, something Geminis aren’t renowned for. Nobody likes to play the waiting game, least of all you! Tame the urge to control the agenda or force an outcome. You’ll just be wasting your energy.

More From ELLE

 

For the first three weeks of the month, you can metabolize this discomfort by taking things one day at a time. The Sun is in Cancer and your productive second house until July 22. You may be busy with your duties, which will keep you happily distracted as you ponder the insights you’re having about yourself and your destiny. 

The Capricorn full moon on July 3 will beam into your intimate and spiritual eighth house, a moment of transformation that could also be profound! The eighth house also rules shared property, financial windfalls and sex (among many other things)—and there could certainly be fireworks in any of these areas for you.

Silver lining: Some of the heavier karmic work you’ve been doing since early 2022 will come to an end on July 17 as the lunar north node ends an 18-month visit to Taurus. You’re still hosting Jupiter AND Uranus here, so the inner work’s far from complete! But you’ve already laid the foundation for it, Gemini, and you’ve hopefully discovered new dimensions of yourself. 

Now the north node shifts into Aries and your eleventh house of groups, friendship and community. Get ready to join forces with some fascinating folks and for new lessons on being a transformational team player.

Speaking of friends, you may have eye-opening moments with a few of your so-called compadres starting July 22. That day, the Sun shifts into Leo and your third house of communication, kindred spirits and ideas. The plus side: You’re feeling much more like your clever Gemini self since your sign is the natural ruler of the third house. 

The tricky part? Harmonizer Venus will turn retrograde (backward) in Leo from July 22 until September 3, which could spark friction in your conversations and negotiations. Bickering could be rampant among friends, colleagues, social media feeds. Be extra mindful of what you say, send or post now—your words will be particularly irrevocable during this once-every-18-months period.

It’s Cancer season until July 22

Settle into your groove, Gemini. July is a grounding month—a great time to simplify and establish regular routines. The Sun is in Cancer until July 22, heating up your second house of security, finances and productivity. Focus on concrete steps you can take to cover your bottom line. Do you need to supplement your income or trim some costs? But don’t skimp on pleasure! The second house is the zone of practical luxury, and el Sol wants you to enjoy life, even if it’s in moderation.

Thinking of turning one of your clever concepts into something tangible? During Cancer season, one of your recent birthday resolutions could start to take concrete form. Choose one or two standouts and evaluate whether they’re worth pursuing. Will the return on investment be worth it? 

The Capricorn full moon is on July 3

Togetherness time! Your finances and closest relationships could reach a tipping point on July 3, when the full moon in Capricorn shines its light on your eighth house of shared wealth, intimacy and long-term security. Full moons are turning points, and if you’ve played your cards right, this karmic one could turn the tides in your favor. You could ink a deal or move into a more official relationship status.

On the other hand, this transitional full moon could mark the completion of a cycle, particularly in a relationship. It could be time to part ways (amicably, we’d hope) and divide your assets. Be careful not to lash out at anyone, especially since this full moon could bring up feelings of jealousy and possessiveness. 

The eighth house governs the deepest parts of our psyches—the “shadow” side of our natures. At this full moon, you could have a front-row seat to some buried (and possibly volcanic) emotions. Since la luna will be situated in a fast-moving trine to supersizer Jupiter, feelings will be magnified even more. With Jupiter in your twelfth house of healing and release, your fastest path back to your cheery nature could be through surrendering your ego and choosing forgiveness. If only it was as easy as it sounded! Just remember, Gemini: Holding onto bitterness mostly poisons YOUR life. Release that toxicity to the moonbeams and reclaim your radiance.

The north node enters Aries on July 17 

Ready for a new social scene? From July 17, 2023, until January 11, 2025, the lunar nodes will travel across the Aries/Libra axis, activating your eleventh house of friendships (ruled by Aries) and your passionate fifth house (governed by Libra). An opportunity to join a prestigious collaboration or a cutting-edge crew could arise. With the karmic north node in this experimental and future-forward sign, you could be drawn to people who introduce you to “alternative” ways of thinking. It’s high time you fully embraced and celebrated your personal brand of weird, Gemini! (And we mean that in a good way.)

With the south node in Libra and your dramatic fifth house, the next year and a half will encourage you to distance yourself from people who purposely push your buttons or live in a state of high chaos. Maybe you didn’t notice it before (you thought of them as “colorful” personalities), but you’re losing your tolerance for these antics. Consider that healthy…and liberate yourself from their emotional manipulation.

The north node only visits Aries every 18.5 years; it was last here from December 27, 2004, to June 22, 2006. If you can remember back to then, you may see themes from that time resurface. Seek balance between excitement and detachment, romance and friendship, and being the star versus a supportive character. There will be a time and a place for both sides of these dualities.

The July 17 Cancer new moon powers up your paycheck

Taking care of yourself—and providing support to the people you love—is the order of the day on July 17 as the Cancer new moon shines its stabilizing light on your second house of income and financial security. Getting grounded is your goal. Seeds planted today will blossom over the next six months. Make those wealth-attracting wishes wisely! 

This new moon could bring a job or moneymaking offer, along with fresh insights about your career path. Your confidence also gets a boost, and this surge in self-worth may coincide with an uptick in your net worth. But slow, steady progress will win this long game since the second house is about persistence, not get-rich-quick schemes. Choose a couple of meaningful projects and chip away at them, bit by bit. If you want to start a new routine or practice, this solar cycle gives you the discipline to stick with it. Just resist the urge to dabble in a million things at once, Gemini, even if you’re interested in all of them! Focus on one or two key projects and do them thoroughly, without cutting corners.

Whiplash! The July 20 Mars-Saturn opposition

Back to business! On July 20, a demanding Mars-Saturn opposition will snap you out of any unproductive drifting—and fast. Go-getter Mars has been heating up your touchy-feely fourth house since July 10, but today, a tense opposition to Saturn in your professional sector yanks you out of your emotional reverie. Enough tending to everyone, Gemini, or drowning in your mood swings. Stern Saturn will help you set boundaries and give structure to your dreams. Keep your hard-earned reputation intact by keeping business and personal matters separate.

When impatient Mars and cautious Saturn are opposite each other, it’s like having one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. To avoid a case of cosmic whiplash, use this transit to regulate your work-life balance. If you’re leaning too heavily in either direction, this is your cue to take a hard look at how you’re spending your time, what you’re saying “yes” to and where you might need to exercise the potent power of a healthy “no.”

The Sun enters Leo July 22—and Venus turns retrograde in Leo

Away from your desk and back out among the people! On July 22, the Sun shifts into Leo, energizing your social third house of community, communication and ideas. For the next month, schedule pitch meetings and brainstorming sessions, mixed with fun local outings in between. Engage in a heartfelt, generous dialogue with colleagues. Bring your talent for banter to a nearby pub or park since you’ll easily make new friends with your witty repartee. 

But ease into those connections with the utmost care! Also on July 22, love planet Venus turns retrograde (backward) in Leo until September 3, a once-every-18-months cycle that can disrupt even the strongest of ties. You could find yourself out of alignment with friends, siblings and neighbors at different times this summer. A co-worker you felt close to could start acting distant, so be careful how much you share with your office buddies (and maybe take a little break from the gossipy ones). While you’re at it, Gemini, check your own tendency to be the tea spiller and town crier. Betraying someone’s confidence will come back to bite you extra hard when Venus is in reverse. 

With Venus reversing through your communication zone, you may experience hiccups similar to when interactive Mercury is retrograde. People could misunderstand your words and intentions, and your colleagues and collaborators might not like your ideas. A kindred-spirit click you felt with someone could cool now. Best bet? Keep a low profile, especially on social media, email and with anything you put in writing. If a truly important relationship needs repair, invest time in reaching an understanding.

Chiron turns retrograde July 23

Our companions should reflect favorably on us, so make sure yours support you and bring you up—not down. For the next five months, as “wounded healer” Chiron spins retrograde in your house of social networks, you might weed out a few toxic team members or back away from people who are stuck in negative thinking. Starting on July 23, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to review your friend “roster” to see if you’re getting as good as you’re giving. By the time Chiron corrects course and turns direct on December 6, you could have a leaner but more loyal list of people to call on for support.

Talk is cheap…and hot! Love planet Venus is taking an extended trip through Leo and your communication sector from June 5 to October 8. And with lusty Mars also in Leo until July 10, your already-flirty sign could be texting and teasing up a storm. Sparks will fly while you’re hanging out locally or with someone you meet through mutual friends. Instead of zoning out and checking Instagram, make some banter while you’re out and about. Friendly chitchat could heat up fast.

On July 10, things could get spicy at Chateau Gemini, and your romantic radar could shift closer to home. Lusty Mars takes up residence in Virgo and your domestic fourth house from July 10 to August 27, a cycle that can ratchet up emotions—from raw desire to jealousy—and cause moods to change without notice. You or a loved one (or maybe both of you at the same time) could be a bit thin-skinned and hypersensitive. One of you may be pushing an accelerated timeline, like moving in together, buying a house or starting (or expanding) a family. Best advice: Lovingly stall unless you’re both 100 percent ready. These kinds of decisions should NOT be made in the heat of frenzied feelings.

Another reason to wait? On July 22, Venus begins a retrograde (backward) spin through Leo and your third house of kindred spirits until September 3. Venus goes retrograde for six weeks every 18 months, which can throw love and interpersonal relationships way off. People’s normal stores of kindness and compassion can go MIA, and old, swept-aside issues could come up to be healed. You could be revisiting your own goals about your personal life (e.g., do you want kids, actually?). A long-gone ex could resurface, or you could meet someone who triggers the same unhealed issues. Whatever the case, sift through the debris, knowing that the whole point of Venus retrograde is to reflect and do the work you didn’t finish the last time around. 

Until July 22, the Cancer Sun is heating up your money sector, catalyzing your cash flow and bringing a fresh burst of opportunity. If you’re ready to ask for a raise or pitch a new client, go for it. Assertive Mars in Leo is heating up your communication zone until July 10, helping you find the confidence to make that request or to boldly market yourself and your ideas.

Looking for a fresh source of income? The July 17 Cancer new moon begins to rev up your revenue and could bring a new opportunity to earn and save more. Set a goal for the next six months: Where would you like to be by late 2023 or early 2024? Look no further than your social network and your many talents. With the lunar nodes moving onto the Aries/Libra axis, you could connect with new groups and communities that take your trailblazing talents out to a wider audience.
