Gemini

Before we say anything else, let's remember, or learn, that Hermes, the deity represented by Mercury, your ruler, was the only one who managed to come out of the underworld alive. Whether or not you feel your life is at a turning point, you now have the chance to transform it. A new self, a rebirth and a new sense of meaning are all within reach if you're brave enough to be vulnerable. Your intimate underworld, your unconscious processes and dreams, your nonverbal behavior and the needs your libido sends you will be more than enough to navigate your own being.

In processes like these, we really need the guidance of an advisor or teacher, and things are lining up for you to get advice at just the right time, this very month. If you think an authority figure, a notable professor or a good former boss could give you good advice, go ahead. Knock on the door, and you can be completely sure you'll get what you asked for in the form of concise advice. Don't get needlessly stuck on questions of metaphysics, because this will pass, let alone on questions of self-development, which can never move very fast. Instead, listen to your nonverbal processes, and they'll give you the best words for what you're feeling.

While Mercury is retrograde, your active principle, Mars, also pauses over the house that can connect you with the most intimate parts of your being, and it will also bring you some very intimate contact, a new kind of closeness, or a deepening of an existing relationship. From here, Mars also brings resolution around income, so if you're confused about work, let some extra work this month be the motivation to clothe yourself in a new spirit. All in all, be brave enough to step into the crisis, radically accept your needs, and know that nothing is more refreshing than a fresh New Year's start. Into yourself, clearly and nonverbally.
