your social skills. (With your ruling planet Retrograde for most of the month—from the 11th to the 31st—we have another argument against too much self-assertion.)
The main headline this month is the power in your 9th House. Sixty per cent of the planets are either there or moving through there—again, a huge percentage. Moreover, there will be a Solar Eclipse in that House on the 26th. In a way this is Gemini heaven. The month ahead is about education and expanding the mind, and there is nothing more satisfying for a Gemini than this. There will be a lot of Air in the Horoscope too. This sharpens your already sharp mind and enhances your mental and communication abilities even further. Writers, teachers, marketers and PR people will have a banner month (and many of you are in these fields).
It is a very good period for students as well. There is success in your studies. There are some bumps on the road brought on by the eclipse—perhaps changes in your course, or school, or changes in the rules and regulations of your school—but in the end this should all work in your favour.
The Solar Eclipse of the 26th will test your religious and philosophical beliefs. Cherished beliefs will get challenged, and this is a good thing. Whatever can’t stand the test of events or truth should go into the rubbish bin. Happy travel opportunities are coming, but try to schedule these around the eclipse period.
Health is good all month. But be careful of too much thinking and too much talking after the 19th, as this can drain energy needlessly and make you vulnerable to problems.
Your love planet makes a major move on the 5th from your 8th House to your 9th House and this shows a major shift in your love attitudes. It is a happy love transit for all of you, but especially for those of you who are working on the second marriage. Love opportunities are now in foreign lands or at religious or educational settings.

Your 9th House of Religion, Philosophy and Higher Education is still very powerful this month. Like last month, there is a procession of planets moving through there. So, many of the trends that we wrote of last month are still very much in effect. In addition to the happy travel and educational opportunities that come to you—some educational opportunities are in foreign lands or foreign schools—there is religious and philosophical revelation open to you, and those who want this shall receive it. A real religious breakthrough is more powerful than just a psychological breakthrough; it changes your whole world view, your whole perspective on life. It changes the psychology as a matter of course. It is one of the most wonderful things that can happen to a person—and it will happen for many of you now.
Many of you are meeting significant religious teachers or gurus now. It is an excellent time for going on religiously oriented pilgrimages to holy places and the like.
When the 9th House is as strong as it is, people will rather sit around and have an interesting philosophical or theological discussion than go out on the town; it is more pleasurable and exciting.
On the 18th the Sun crosses your Midheaven, initiating a yearly career peak. There is career success and opportunity happening. Sales and marketing, good use of the media and your excellent communication skills are big factors in your success. Siblings are also having a good career month.
On the 9th we have another eclipse—this time Lunar—in your 3rd House. This eclipse will test your cars and communications equipment (and probably bring changes or upgrades). The last eclipse also tested these things. There are dramas in the lives of siblings, but they seem like happy dramas—dramas of success. (They are having very happy love experiences these days as well.) Like last month’s eclipse it seems to affect students most strongly. There are changes of school, educational plans, subjects or the rules and regulations of the school. Often these kinds of eclipses bring changes in the administration of the school, shakeups in the hierarchy. Unlike the previous eclipse this one brings career and financial change as well. The timing of the eclipse is fortunate, for the career change is likely to be happy and good.
Health is good this month, but rest and relax more after the 18th. Continue to enhance your health by giving more attention to the colon, bladder, sexual organs, spine, knees, teeth, gall bladder and skeletal alignment—these things are important all year. This month give more attention to the heart as well.
Finances are not a major interest this month, although the eclipse will bring some important changes. Your money house is basically empty. In general, though, you will have greater earning power from the 1st to the 9th and from the 25th onwards than at other times. These periods are when the Moon, your financial planet, waxes.

You are still very much into a yearly career peak and it is even stronger than last month. Pay rises and promotions are likely. You are on top this month, in power, calling the shots. Very ambitious. Even the family seems supportive of your career goals, and are probably not raising a fuss about neglect. The family as a whole seems elevated this month; family members are succeeding and the family status (as a whole) is elevated.
You are working hard. The demands of career are strong. There are competitors for your position, or in your industry. But you have friends in the right places helping you out. Personal effort, communication skills, good use of the media and a willingness to travel or get the education you need will carry you through and bring you to your goals.
Continue to watch your health until the 20th. Give attention to the organs mentioned last month and (of course) try to rest and relax more. Your career may be important and demanding, but try to pace yourself better.
On the 20th your 11th House of Friends, Group Activities and Organizations becomes strong. (It was strong last month as well but is now even stronger.) Thus you are making new and important friends. There is joy in group activities or being involved with organizations. Many of you are realizing your fondest hopes and wishes. Your good professional reputation is bringing many new social opportunities.
Love is still very happy. Keep in mind that Venus, the universal planet of love, will make a rare Retrograde movement beginning on the 6th and this could complicate things. For you, it seems to affect love affairs (outside of marriage) rather than your actual marriage. Be more patient with children these days. Your policy towards them might need a review. They in turn need to review their personal goals and see where improvements need to be made. Avoid speculations after the 6th.
The planetary power shifts the month, from the Western social sector to the Eastern sector. By the 15th the East will be dominant. Thus you are becoming more independent and self-confident. You don’t need to adapt to situations or toady up to others (though you shouldn’t be rude to them). If conditions don’t suit you, make changes and create
