Gemini Monthly Horoscope

With feisty Mars retrograde in your social third house since December 6, it’s been hard to shake the occasional Grinchy vibes this holiday season—not to mention the Gemini habit of obsessive rumination on a single subject, text thread or person who has pushed all of your buttons. Thankfully, the heat dies down on January 6 when the oft-hostile planet retreats out of Leo and your outspoken third house and slips into Cancer and your second house of work and money, until April 18. 

Feeling that fire in your belly? You'll be amped up to refill the coffers, and Mars here can give you that unstoppable spirit when it comes to your career. But be warned: Mars remains in retrograde until February 23, so you'll need to dot every "i" and review each line item on your statements and Excel spreadsheets. Before you make a presentation, prepare, prepare and prepare some more, researching all the people with whom you'll be meeting and practicing your pitch in the mirror (it works). 

Money could get funny in relationships, as well, and even be the source of a few epic blowups. Before things explode, try to have a clear conversation with anyone who shares your mortgage payment or joint checking account. You might even bring in a third party, like a bookkeeper or broker, to help you get organized—an investment that can do wonders to help keep the peace, and your own sense of serenity.
