2008 Gemini Horoscope

1. Gemini 2008 - Moving at The Speed of Life

In Vedic Astrology Gemini is symbolized by a man holding a club and a woman playing a lute. This is different than the Western Astrological symbol of twin children, but in both cases the dual nature of Gemini is seen. This dual nature is a foundational quality of your being, Gemini, and comes from the planet Mercury - the swift moving one. You have an uncanny ability to see all parts of a situation and empathize with all involved and their ideas. This year Mercury will spend more than six months in Earth Signs, which will present many opportunities for your ideas to manifest in the world. You have unlimited interests and may be the most intelligent in the zodiac - yet also the most immature. The mighty Sun illuminates you from the third house of interests, hobbies and play. The Sun will challenge you to greater self-awareness at key points in 2008. Consistency is not your strength for sure, your wavering value system and changeable approach to wealth comes from the Moon. Yet she keeps you attuned and sensitive to new opportunities and foreign interests.

Thank God you are the luckiest in the Zodiac or you may never earn a buck. Much of this luck comes from Jupiter, the ruler of your partners and career. Jupiter will be bringing some great blessings this year after being in a difficult place last year. You are especially lucky with partners. You will need all the luck possible with archenemy Mars in your first house for the first five months this year. Reckless Mars undermines your lighthearted nature. He is the man with the club that you (and everyone else) must be careful of. In direct contrast to this "inner bully" you have the other half of the twin, the "woman playing a lute" - this is Venus. She shows your gentle and creative mind and desire to change course. There are several important associations with Venus this year. These will challenge and uplift you creatively, romantically and personally. Finally Saturn manages the impossible by keeping you grounded, otherwise you may just evaporate or float away on a thought bubble. But Saturn shows the harsh realities you are ready to intellectually face and the hard work you are ready to do, once you have a good reason. Saturn puts you to work and makes you get serious. He will be pressuring you in new ways this year - compelling you forward.
