Yes, it can be annoying, and yes, because messenger Mercury is your ruling planet, it can affect you more than other star signs. However, you've also survived it many times and will do the same this year. Worrying about Mercury retrograde is counter-productive. Remember, you're a Gemini. You can charm your way through anything.

As you probably know, you have a reputation for being a heartbreaker, Gemini. Your flirting skills are impressive, and whether you have multiple partners or are asexual, you rarely suffer from a lack of romantic attention. However, during the first few months of 2023, while you will continue to be happy in your relationships, your love life isn't your primary focus. You're concentrated on self-care, friendships, and getting ahead at work, which you should lean into. By the time spring begins, the spotlight turns to your love life, so you'll be thankful that other aspects of your life are well-attended to.

The romantic planetVenusenters your sign, Gemini, onTuesday, April 11. When Venus stations in your sign, matters of love (as well as beauty and money) flow easier. Let the flirtations and loving moments in April build-up, as they'll likely climax (pun intended) when Juno, the asteroid of commitment, enters your sign onTuesday, May 2. These two transits remind you that emotional intimacy and sex can co-exist. This is true for relationships with long-term potential and casual hook-ups. For those who prefer to play solo, these astro events help you connect with yourself, so it's a fun time to treat yourself to anew sex toy.

Later in the year, sparks fly whenMercuryenters Libra, the sign of balance and partnerships, and lights up your 5th House of Pleasure onWednesday, October 4. This not only helps you open up and talk about your sexual desires but is fabulous for stimulating dirty talk, too. Conversations may refocus from fantasy and sweet nothings to define-the-relationship discussions when your ruling planet, Mercury, enters loquacious Sagittarius and your 7th House of Partnership onFriday, November 10. For some folks, this means more commitment, while other Geminis may find themselves leaving stagnant relationships for the joy of single life. So tap into your intuition and make sure to trust yourself. You'll need to beware of miscommunications whenMercury retrogradeenters independent Sagittarius onSaturday, December 23. If you know what you want, you'll easily express your truth to others.

As noted, the first few months of 2023 see you more concentrated on friendships than romantic relationships, regardless of your relationship status. Remember, it's unrealistic for anyone to expect their partner to be their only source of support, whether you're monogamous, poly, or somewhere in between. You're focused on friendships when Venus enters fun-loving Aries and your 11th House of Friendship onMonday, February 20. For the next few weeks, you grow closer to old friends, share many laughs, and even make a few new ones. The influence of Aries has a sweet child-like quality, so this is the perfect time for game nights, makeovers, or any that involves frivolous fun.

Regarding your friendships, there's one day to be aware of: The new moon and solar eclipse in Aries onThursday, April 20. These cosmic events tend to bring drama, so it's not a bad idea to spend them catching up on alone time. Otherwise, you could end up bickering with your friends or giving into petty feelings such as jealousy due to the anxiety surrounding the eclipse. If you do choose to go out with friends this day (it is 4/20, which is a holiday for some of you, Gemini), make sure you take it easy to avoid petty fights or miscommunications.

Communication flows much easier within your social circles when your ruling planet, Mercury, enters your sign onSunday, June 11. This transit puts any eclipse-related fights to bed and sees you and your loved ones ready to support and lift each other up. All of summer 2023 points to epic adventures with friends. There is a new moon in your sign onSunday, June 18, which is also Father's Day. As a result, some Geminis will need to lean on friends extra hard during this lunation, but even if you have a great relationship with your dad, it's a beautiful time to at least send texts to your friends to connect with your chosen family.

The theme of prioritizing friends, at times over lovers or blood relatives, continues when Vesta, an asteroid associated with independence in relationships, enters your sign onThursday, June 22. Continue to work time for platonic relationships through the end of the year, as the leaves change colors and the winter holidays begin. Not only will this help keep your friendships solid, but it's beneficial for your love life, too. After all, you need someone to bitch to about your significant other.

You may have reason to pop champagne again, shortly after New Year's Eve, Gemini (not that you need an excuse).Thursday, January 26, brings abundance when Venus, which rules money in addition to love and beauty, enters wise Pisces and your 10th House of Social Status. This transit sees you receiving recognition for your work, whether from your boss or partner. Never trust an astrologer who promises money (especially in this economy), but don't be surprised if this date corresponds with welcome professional news.

Even if you're happy with your career, life can always get better, Gemini. Welcome fresh starts regarding your work or passion projects during the new moon in creative Pisces onMonday, February 20. This could see you starting a new project or switching jobs, as these lunations mark beginnings. If you're in a union, you could see collective bargaining pay off as negotiations finally end.

By the time summer rolls around, you are empowered to vocalize your worth when your ruling planet, Mercury, enters caring Cancer and your 2nd House of Possessions onMonday, June 26. Remember, no astrologer can promise money in this economy, but this transit is an astrologically beneficial time to ask for a raise. Because our 2nd House of Possessions also includes emotions (we own those, too), it's advantageous to practice gratitude around this time and implement a glass-half-full attitude.

Another day with the potential for abundance to mark in your calendar isMonday, November 27, which brings a full moon in your sign. Full moons are times of manifestations, so if you've been asking for a raise, or didn't see negotiations wrap up during the new moon in Pisces, this lunation later in the year could have your back. Everyone feels like they're struggling when it comes to money and work right now, Gemini, so for the sake of your emotional well-being, make sure to celebrate all the good news you can get.

When astrologers talk about health, they aren't looking to scare you about possible physical ailments. That's between you and your doctor. Instead, astrology can be helpful in reminding us of the importance of self-love and how our environment can influence our health. Family is an important theme for you in 2023, particularly deciding who is worth your time and love (chosen family counts) and when you need firm boundaries. As an air sign, you go with the flow, Gemini, but sometimes you must take a stance regarding your mental health.

Follow this advice and take it easy during the full moon and lunar eclipse in Scorpio and your 6th House of Health onFriday, May 5. You can accept social invitations another day. Eclipses can bring drama out of nowhere and sudden endings. While that's no reason to panic, it does mean that you'll require extra self-care around this time. Because all star signs will feel one edge around the eclipse and more likely to give into unhealthy vices, simply avoid stress by catching up on alone time (or quality time with your pet).

OnThursday, June 22, Vesta, the asteroid of spirituality, enters your sign, Gemini. This sees a deepening in your spiritual practice, whether that's more meditation and tarot cards, going to church, or connecting with ancestors. Of course, this transit doesn't mean that you need to be religious. Still, it does remind you that such rituals can be beneficial for your emotional well-being and offers help regarding any difficult decisions.

You're ready to communicate and put your needs into action when your home planet of Mercury enters intense Scorpio onSunday, October 22. Yes, this means you should probably catch up on going to the dentist and doctor, but it also helps you set boundaries and carve out enough alone time for self-care, which is vital throughout the entire year, not just during eclipses. Remember, your 6th House doesn't just rule physical health.

Set healthy intentions during the new moon in Scorpio onMonday, November 13, such as picking up a hobby outside work. Finally, as the year comes to a close, get ready for spiritual healing when Vesta goes retrograde in your sign onWednesday, December 20. When the asteroid of spirituality entered your sign back in June, you became more in touch with your spiritual nature. Now that it's retrograde in your sign, you're tasked with reviewing your spiritual practice once again. Overall, 2023 sees you going through much spiritual growth, Gemini, so keep an open mind, and don't be surprised if you see yourself engaging in a new type of spiritual growth around this time.
