GEMINI (May 20 – June 19)
Ruling Planet Mercury crosses over your solar midheaven on Feb. 5. This is an auspicious position – particularly as it pertains to your career. There’s every reason to hope for the best, but don’t be too quick to count your chickens before they hatch. Not only does Mercury turn retrograde on Feb. 17, but it will backtrack over the very ground you’re standing on now. Translation? You may be forced to go back and revisit an assignment, sale, or deal because of unexpected complications or hidden technicalities that come to light. This could last through mid March so don’t assume anything’s in the bag until then.
