Your Horoscope for Gemini

As you begin December, you will be thinking about a close alliance, whether in love or in business. The new moon of November 30 or December 1 (the date of the new moon depends on your time zone) will appear in Sagittarius, 10 degrees, and light your house of serious, committed partnerships in business and also in love and marriage. This new moon may bring on a time of assessment. If you are in love, you might be eager to marry and begin your life together.

Jupiter in Gemini will help you decide what is best for you. If the relationship is business oriented and with Saturn in your tenth house of reputation and hard work, you may feel a business partner or collaborator (such as an agent, publicist, or if you are the expert, the talent you represent) is not pulling their share of the weight in the relationship. At the same time, Mars, positioned in your third house, shows communication between the two of you is clear and fluid. You see certain benefits to this union.

The planets are giving you mixed messages, and you may feel ambivalent about what to do. It might not be the best time to decide for several reasons. First, your ruler Mercury is in Sagittarius and your partnership house (the very same house that is being highlighted by the new moon December 1), but Mercury began to retrograde last month on November 25 and will continue his backward slide until December 15.

No planet adjusts its orbit instantly on the day it goes direct. In fact, a planet is the most unstable the day before and after its official retrograde bookend dates. I have friends who rush to sign a contract the day before a retrograde or on the day after it turns direct, but in truth, those are the worst days possible to swing into action. Give Mercury space—he will be fully strong and functional by January 2.
