January Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 - June 20)
Mutable Air. Your ruling planet is Mercury.

You are changing this month, Gemini, from the inside out. Far-reaching transformation is coming your way that will eventually rock your world. Your ruler Mercury retrogrades mid-month and as it does your basic beliefs are subject to review and even revision. You are simultaneously very aware of the limitations, and paradoxically the essential limitlessness, of your true-life situation. You accurately perceive the universe as wider than you previously imagined, and connecting you up, outer to inner. Right from the very beginning of this month and year, you find yourself very much at sea, a mixed blessing. As the poet says, four things you won't need: oars, anchor, rudder, and the fear of going down.

As the month begins, you are riding the energy wave from the last days of December, with the New Moon in your sector of intimacy and personal transformation. You are involved at this time in a process of massive change, which may be more or less subtle for you, depending on circumstances. In any case you are definitely going over the water fall, whether you immediately admit this information to your conscious brain or avoid thinking about it altogether. This is actually not such a bad thing, since the changes that the universe is providing for you are in your ultimate best interest, the result of a hidden process of maturation that has been going on all this time, for many months now, ever since the beginning of the previous year. This may all become much more obvious and even customary by the time of the First Quarter Moon of Sunday, January 4th, when points of minor conflict in your arc of development could also become exposed. All through this period you are mediating concerns of self and other, and of inner knowing versus and outer world presentation. The strain and the struggle of accommodating various viewpoints into your emerging process of understanding could begin to wear on you, or you could just relax and enjoy the ride. With the Full Moon a week later, on Saturday, January 10th, and the subsequent retrograde of your ruler Mercury on the very next day, you will be reconsidering everything that has been happening to you in a new and more self-reflective light. You are pulled to the inside more strongly at this time, but also fully aware of the call to adventure that comes upon you with electric visions for a new way of being available in the physical to others around you. This would be true in both a business and in a personal sense. In order for new ideas to come into your awareness there is an incubation period currently in effect that lasts well into February. During the last half of January and the first few weeks of February, then, it is best not to push the river but instead to remain alert to whatever comes along into your experience, and eventually, your consciousness.
