Gemini (May 21 - June 20) Your Road to Wealth
Our new digital world seems to be made
with you in mind. You love information, computers, telephones,
the Internet, and you were practically born "wired." You
should be in high demand, dear Gemini, so put your talent
for communication to good use!
Your financial plan is not to have a plan.
As odd as that sounds, your reliance on adaptability and flexibility
often works well for you! You have no trouble finding freelance
work, so somehow everything works out. Or does it? It's
important to have a semblance of a plan to fall back on when
you reach a rough patch. Also, you might want to
start reconciling your checkbook by calculator rather than
intuition, thus stamping out the panic you feel over checks
that may have bounced.
If you have the sign of Cancer on the cusp
of your 2nd sector of income
in your solar chart, you could have an emotional approach
to spending and saving. Think about what money really means
to you. Does money represent success? Energy? Power? Options?
Or is it a temporal part of life, not the main event? Do you
keep changing your mind on this very subject? At times, you
are susceptible to impulse purchases, or can undergo swings
in spending modes such as saving like a miser for months,
then splurging like crazy. Try to be sensible. Spending money
can be a little like being on a diet; if you deprive
yourself too stringently, you'll wind up rebelling and undoing
all your hard work. Treat yourself to little things
now and then so you won't be tempted to "lose it." A solid
goal, like saving up to buy a house, could help motivate you
to save.
You also need to watch a tendency to spread
yourself too thin, unwilling to say "no" to any project that
may bring you extra income. You are very versatile, so you
tend to have many fingers in many pies! Learn to focus your
attention on your most lucrative prospects. Some Gemini
have problems with follow-through. If this describes
you, vow to do a little experiment: finish whatever you start
in the next six months. You may see that you become more discriminating
about what you choose to put your time into, once you've made
this commitment!
Hint: Money does not
motivate you -- ideas do. The sage advice, "Do what you love
and the money will follow," was meant for you to heed. You
can accumulate wealth by remembering to keep yourself happy.
If your occupation bores you, you won't give it your all.
Many Gemini are able to accumulate great wealth, so go for
it, Twin!
Your Financial Outlook for the
Year 2000 and Beyond
The past ten years have not been easy for you
financially, because Saturn
and Uranus were circling
in your sector of credit and debt. During the late 1980's
through the early 1990's someone probably didn't uphold a
financial obligation and left you holding the bag. The natal
United States birth chart has Gemini rising, so its situation
was similar to yours. Like you, the U.S. Government had to
cut back spending and reduce its deficit. If the U.S. Government
can succeed (and it has), you can too! If you haven't
already zeroed out your debt, you can now. You've
had some outstanding financial aspects in 1998 and 1999, and
are now in a far more stable period, one that will be free
of the wild financial swings that became the norm a few years
ago. In years to come you may get a windfall of cash (particularly
likely in May 2000). If you do, use a big chunk of it to pay
off loans and start fresh. You will be glad you did!
Best of all, Jupiter,
the planet of fortune and luck, will zoom into Gemini on June
30, 2000 for the first time in a decade. Jupiter remains in
this cushy seat for a full year, until July 2001. With lucky
Jupiter on your Sun, you can
maneuver yourself into the spotlight and be considered for
some of the most sought-after positions. You could
land a new job this year, one you truly enjoy. Jupiter
will bless all your new ventures and bring opportunity galore.
2001 is a true wonder year. Since you won't see vibes like
these again for 12 years, it is crucial that you "strike while
the iron's hot." Many new people and opportunities will come
your way during the second half of 2000 and the first half
of 2001. Golden opportunities will lie everywhere you look
-- making the right choice will be your only dilemma. Yet
none of this will happen by itself; you will have to make
an effort and exercise wise judgment.
The money I am talking about here will not
come to you through an inheritance, prize money or court settlement,
all of which are ruled by the 8th
sector. It will be earned the old-fashioned way, by the
sweat of your brow, since these fortunate vibes come from
the 2nd sector of earned income. But isn't that so much better?
If you can make one million, you can make several million!
There is no limit. You can find the financial security
you have always wanted, possibly for the first time in your
life.
Taskmaster Saturn will be in Gemini too, so
you are certain to make decisions that add stability to your
life. The publishing, communications, telecommunications,
computer, and Internet industries are almost certain to be
key for you in 2001, if one or more of them aren't important
to you now! When Jupiter moves into your 2nd sector
of earned income on July 12, 2001, set to stay until July
28, 2002, you will have your best opportunity ever to provide
for your financial security. Gemini, you are entering
quite an exciting period, starting in the middle of the year
2000!
One last note: Pluto,
the planet of transformation and renewal, is also thought
to be a financial planet. Pluto is in your 7th
sector of partnerships, indicating you will gain from
your involvement with others. This happy aspect for teamwork
is assisted by the position of Jupiter on your Sun, because
Jupiter rules your 7th sector of partnerships and relationships.
Your partner or spouse will truly be your greatest asset!
Whether you do so through marriage, business partnership,
an agent or legal representative, combining efforts with another
will be magic for you. You will not do as well working
alone, so look for suitable partners, dear Gemini.
The person you pair up with appears to be quite powerful on
his or her own, too.
This "partner" you are aligned with may not
be a person but an entire company, as in a team, joint venture,
or licensing deal. With Pluto involved, this entity is likely
to be a very big, global corporation in some sort of cooperative
deal set up between you. Know everything there is to know
about your partner, for your reputation and financial security
are tied to the people in this institution. Get to know the
major players well. Also get to know your lover's credit history
(if you are getting serious), and check references before
linking yourself to another person in a business. You are
likely to feel good about what you find out, but do your homework
anyway. You gain most by being devoted, committed,
and by using sharp business skills. So Twin, in the
year ahead, don't try to do business projects alone, but in
tandem with a partner. Teamwork spells success -- expect to
make a fortune!
