Virgo Profile
Virgos are the sixth sign of the zodiac. They have an extremely analytical mind, ready to minimize and organize, categorize and stick labels on everything to make sure everything is returned to its' correct place. Often feel motivated to work for a noble cause, which helps them forget their concerns about possible issues in their own lives. Their refined analytical skills make Virgos invaluable in difficult situations that require problem-solving and a sequential approach.

They are commonly known as the "perfectionist" of the zodiac, which means they will do everything in their power to do their best, and often push themselves beyond what is humanly possible, often causing themselves, and sometimes others, stress from their self-imposed idealistic standards. Their mind can be their greatest asset when put to work on vital projects, but can cause them anguish if they focus on minor issues and on what is lacking. One of the major lessons for the Virgo is to learn balance between their emotions and their strong intellect and powers of reasoning. If Virgos allow themselves to worry, they often develop tummy upsets and fragile nerves, so incorporating some daily playfulness and relaxation is vital for a Virgo, even more so than other star signs. Due to their highly practical nature, their creative expression is often channelled either in to writing or creating, or decorating, objects that are not only beautiful but useful. Virgo's also possess highly developed physical senses, which often makes them expert cooks and skilled lovers.

Virgos usually bring their work home or think about work even when they are supposed to be relaxing. Those Virgos who work from home may find it hard to sit still because there is "always something that needs to get done". Virgos are typically logical, hardworking, persistent and disciplined. Although, Virgo's are the sign of purity and "the Virgin", deep romantic involvements is one aspect of their lives that Virgos are anything but restrained, tending towards passion and exuberance. However, Virgos need to resist the temptation to direct and control their relationships at times. Usually ultraclean, the Virgos normally fastidious nature may be toned down if other influences in their astrological chart predominate.

Virgos are the sign star most likely to choose a partner of the same star sign. If they do not choose another Virgo as their partner, they are often found in the company of one of the other earth signs - Taurus or Capricorn; however there are always exceptions to this rule.

Virgos typically have exceptionally strong power of concentration and focus. When they have set their goals, Virgos will move any mountain in the way to achieve it. They are not angry by nature, but are not people to trifle with, because if you push them too far, too often, you are going to be dealing with a formidable opponent. Since Virgos are extremely cautious, they tend to take a while to get started on their greatest goals, but they are so well-planned that once they begin, Virgos are ready for just about anything.

Virgos are usually supremely capable, and able to handle most situations on their own if they have to, though normally long to be part of a couple. Though Virgos are typically extremely intelligent, they often do not recognize their own abilities and need those who know and love the Virgo, to point out to them, their fabulous qualities.

Straightforward and honest, Virgos are often popular with those who want the truth without the "sugar-coating".

Virgo is an Earth sign sharing its ruling planet of Mercury with the air sign - Gemini. Mercury is the planet of communication, revealing that Virgos (as well as Gemini's) possess a talent for expressing their thoughts, ideas, and feelings exceptionally well, through the written and spoken word.

Overview
Your long term plans will reach their fruition in 2012, and great opportunities are likely to cross your path. With the Sun in a favourable position, you will find your energy at a higher level than previous years, and feeling more enthusiastic about your work prospects. You will also be feeling enthusiastic about organizing a number of get-togethers, some for particular celebrations, others simply to spend time with those special in your life.

Your usual Leo straightforwardness may need to be curbed when dealing with family issues this year, in order to avoid a disagreement with a relative. Handling family discussions with logical reasoning and diplomacy, may instead, help to keep the peace.

You may feel tempted, or pushed, to burn the candle at both ends during 2012, which could lead to allergies, abdominal aches, and other digestive problems that could stifle your usual zest. Instead, try to take some out to relax and replenish yourself to avoid such complications.

Jupiter will be hanging around your zodiac sign in 2012, and as the planet of joy, adventure, open-mindedness, advanced education, travel, and global perspectives, you could be reaping rewards you never expected. Prosperity and abundance are within your grasp if you are still willing to work at your dreams despite the obstacles.
Saturn creates some personal challenges and learning experiences, but it could also reward you with a job promotion, professional kudos, and public recognition.

With Uranus residing in your ninth house during 2012, you will find long-distance travel, multicultural studies, languages, religions, politics, laws, philosophies, universities, mass media, and global awareness featuring in your life in a big or positive way. Global networking, international teamwork, spontaneous travel, and internet education could be very helpful and provide you with a great sense of satisfaction. Be careful with legal issues and do your best not to accidentally offend others. This is also a wonderful time to begin or return to studies.

2012 will mark a time in which more than one fascinating person will cross your path, and if you are single, you may find one of these people could turn into a potential partner but before you get too involved, make sure you are genuinely compatible, not simply extremely attracted to each other.

Your career should really benefit from Pluto's placement in your chart, channelling you into new duties, even a possible new employment position or business opportunity. You will find yourself acquiring important new skills or knowledge that will aid you in your journey to achieve greater success.

If you decide you are ready to take on more work responsibilities, a leadership role will give you a chance to shine in ways in which you had never had the opportunity before.

If the work demands get a little too much in August, you may have to delegate some of your duties to others, or arrange a little time to recharge your batteries. Acknowledgement and respect for work achievements may present themselves, but you might have to wait a little longer to see any financial rewards.

Love
During 2012, either an established relationship will go through a transformation or you will find yourself drawn to a new person. You may find yourself going through a major phase of development, finally understanding and applying those life lessons that may have been repeated more than once. If romance becomes a little predictable, you will find yourself searching for a new way to spice things up. Love and friendships will improve due to your warm, affectionate nature. You will feel a real need to show and speak how you feel about those you care about. An opportunity for a new friendship or romance is likely to surface and it is could turn out to be a very valuable connection. Try to avoid letting hidden passions, jealousy and fears surface and disturb what could be a healthy, happy relationship. A former friendship or love relationship will be given new life by your willingness to trust and open up.

You may be feeling the urge to delve into the deeper and more passionate side of love. Though this may bring up old fears or past hurts, eventually you will find this adventure into love and expression of trust, rewarding. It will also teach you something new and significant about yourself and your relationship. You are now ready to take your relationship to a new level of care, mutuality and understanding. In personal relationships you will have no problems being clear about what is on your mind with your partner rather than hoping that they will read your mind.

Work and Money
You will feel the need to focus on your savings and changing your financial strategy to improve your monetary situation, but you will feel tempted to spend more than your budget will allow. Contracts or legal documents relating to property will be finalized, and give you the freedom to take the next step in your life.

2012 will be more peaceful on the financial front with a likely financially-beneficial offer. There will be one or more opportunities to make monetary gains which will make you feel you are finally being recognized for your ability or input. Avoid relying too much on the praise or recognition of others because they are more caught up in their own goals or problems than noticing what significant contributions you have made.

A strong urge to travel is likely, and visits to foreign countries are highlighted. For Leo business owners, many new satisfied clients will be attracted to your business due to your new approach. Promotions and new job opportunities are featured in 2012, with some Leo’s leaving their jobs suddenly to try out jobs they had never considered before. Intellectual satisfaction and reputation are also features. For Leos with some money to spare, investments are featured, while others will purchase another property.

Family and Social Life
Employment, education and relationship issues are likely to be resolved in 2012. If parted parents have ongoing legal issues regarding children, resolution, or an agreement to finally sort things out, is likely. Leo’s usually win their arguments by sheer strength of will, but during 2012, arguments with siblings or friends may be avoided, or have a better outcome, if you use a gentler approach. Older members of your family may be feeling the need to be appreciated. Give then care, concern and respect, making them feel wanted and comfortable. Children will bring a lot of joy and pleasure, while single individuals will find themselves drawn to an unusual or extremely interesting person.

Travel
A single long journey is likely for Leos, while those interested in travelling for work will find transfer to another country less likely than previous years. Higher studies will be on your mind if you have not already begun.

Health
Your health and working efficiency will be better than previous years. However make sure you don’t work too hard by putting too much work into your in-box. If you push yourself too hard, you could succumb to minor stomach disorders, knee pain, or blood sugar imbalance.

All you need to do is follow your inspirations and you will make wonderful things happen.

The sign of Cancer, otherwise known as the Crab, is known for their loving, caring attitude and dedication to loved ones along with an enthusiastic dynamic that seems to surround them despite their private nature. Cancerians can be quite emotional at times, wallowing in nostalgia and often allowing sensitivity to certain situations to get the best of them.

Creativity abounds during the first half of 2012 as Cancer find themselves being even more innovative and energetic than usual. However, because of the combined and constant influences of planets Venus and Mars, Crabs need to be careful not to allow that energy to turn into hyperactivity which can wear them out prematurely.
The Crab could be in store for a rather special year in 2012 with good news on the horizon as well as the opportunity to enjoy special occasions with equally special people.

The planetary positions for Cancer during 2012, point to change, especially in relations with your associates. Children are likely to demand greater independence. Near and dear ones will also undergo significant transformations. It can be in the form of one of your friends planning to launch a new project or someone dealing with an emotional challenge. This will lead to personal evolution.

Cancerians are dreamy yet moody, and at times need to control their fear of change.
By remaining calm and treating the situation as just another phase, good times will abound, especially if you point yourself towards your aspirations.

2012 will be full of hidden surprises, the biggest surprise developments on the work front, kicking off in the second half of the year. Keep your options open on the work front, aware that what might look like a very ordinary year for work, job and employment matters, will be anything but by the end of the year. There is a real need to pay attention for following just behind is Neptune, planet of dreams and fantasies, returns to your career sector early in the year, beginning a powerful new professional chapter that will likely continue to impact on your life until 2026. Saturn’s return to your work sector on the 6th October is a game changer and marks the beginning of a close working relationship between Saturn and Neptune that will define your professional changes over the next three years. But after the North Node’s return to your work sector on the 30th August and the solar eclipse on the 14th November indicates that very active and potentially successful months lay ahead on the work front. Your professional star is not only on the rise this year, but will continue to rise for many years to come.

Cancerians should expect a mixed year of both uneventful months peppered with those filled with both excitement and challenges.2012 will also be a year which marks your own transformation - it's a time for "out with the old, in with the new".

Attitudes toward those significant in your life will undergo change this year with interesting life lessons likely in June and September.

Your attitude towards health and work are also changing, and circumstances will encourage you to develop healthier habits, routines, and schedules. You will stop hanging on to regrets, doubts or guilt and develop greater faith in yourself and trust in your higher purpose. You may find you are letting go of your fears, and developing growing feelings of compassion and understanding and acting upon these spiritual motivations. If you have had perfectionist traits, you might find that although your standards are still high, you will stop giving yourself, and others, a hard time about not getting things “just so”.

Cancer is almost synonymous with everything related to home, family and the parental bond, particularly the mother-child relationship. Cancerians are typically very emotional in nature and tend to be caring and supportive of their loved ones. The home is where the Cancerian’s heart and soul is, however, what is seldom mentioned, is when a Cancerian has plucked up the courage to travel, they often find themselves “bitten by the travel bug”. As long as they have a comfortable home to which to return, Cancerians commonly develop the passion to see and experience new places and people, though they may put travel aside when they take on the responsibility of child-rearing.

With Uranus in Aries, you will feel the need for expressing your individuality, establishing boundaries, taking a stand and, possibly changing the look of your world. Pluto’s influence may encourage you to look at your finances and improve your monetary position, and sticking to a budget may not be as difficult than in previous years.

You may find yourself not agreeing with authority figures, but it may be advisable to be diplomatic if you feel things need to change in the work environment. Whatever your goals at work may be, negotiation and showing by example may help you to achieve your aims rather than going head to head with managers, bosses or supervisors. Though you may feel like rebelling at times, it may be best to try other, less confrontational, means to improve your work situation and relations with those in the work place.

New and sudden opportunities will spring up in your life, and you will be at your enterprising best as the year unfolds.

You will also find yourself freeing yourself of situations and people who have blocked you, and taking on extra responsibilities will assist you in achieving your life goals, or assist you to change direction in life. Transformation is on the agenda. This period marks a time in which you can develop, grow and express your potential.

Transformations will affect partnerships, work and possibly even relationships. These changes will encourage times of reflection and help banish underlying tensions that may have been simmering beneath the surface.

You will also find yourself becoming more self-reliant which will clear the way for further improvements in your life. The approval of others will seem less important to you which will also make 2012 a year in which you feel more comfortable to stretch your wings and try things you may have been too worried to try before.
At times you may be feeling rather spontaneous revealing that you are feeling less worried about the outcome and more involved in the process of learning and growing, and ready to enjoy what life has to offer.

After June, you are likely to become more aware of what needs to be let go in your life, and what needs to be tended to help further your aims and make your life look the way you wish it to be.

Home-based business options, revised living arrangements and new career outlets are all accented in 2012. It is time to begin utilizing your own creativity, life experience and insight to bring greater financial and social success into your life. After mid-July complex travel plans, relocation or powerfully creative home improvements will captivate your attention. Don't hold back: this is the right time to welcome fast and positive growth into your life. Romantic relationships and social opportunities will dramatically expand over the summer months: expect potential friends and trusted romantic partners to offer delightful invitations and heartfelt proposals. Single Cancerians can expect the arrival of an exotic and emotionally demanding relationship between August 12th and September 17th. A complex but highly rewarding year: watch for obvious signs of emotional stability and lasting success.

Career and Finances
The trend of the previous year seems to continue this year too. For tangible results you will be putting in plenty of effort, but within reasonable hours and enough energy left at the end of the day to enjoy your free time. Most of the effort will involve using your mind and intellect rather than physically-demanding work. Though you will have competition in the work environment, you are likely to outshine them in performance. Your confidence is likely to increase and you will feel motivated to achieve more than in previous years. People in management will see your efforts and appreciate your contribution to the work environment. If you are looking for a career change, don’t be surprised by others’ glowing recommendations of you, which will certainly put you in a better position to make a favourable career move. The work place may be undergoing major changes which might be worrisome but focus on your goals and do not let what is happening around you deter you from your aspirations. Try to keep your moods in check and nourish your life with positive thoughts. If you have not already determined your long term goals, it may be time to figure out what and how you will achieve a better career or business position, and put your action plan into go.

If you take advantage of the current astrological trends you can make 2012 a profitable year, though you may be tempted to spend more than necessary on food and shopping, so try to resist if you can, at least some of the time. If there are any debts then try to pay them off first. The last two months of the year are extremely favourable for increased financial gains, though preparation for the holiday season may mean some of that money will be accounted for in advance.

Most Cancers enjoy their jobs because they see the workplace as a home away from home. If you are the boss, you are likely to have a sensitive but strong approach to getting the work done and ensuring others do what needs to be done. If anyone is tense and maybe difficult due to their anxiety, try not to let them get to you. Try to be calm and do what needs to be done to keep everything running smoothly and others will appreciate your self-control.

Many Cancerians would rather work in a comfortable and laid-back environment than strive for a more high-powered and demanding job, though successful Cancerians tend to view the workplace as an extension of their family. Most would rather have a calm and peaceful work life rather than strive to become rich and famous. Although when a Cancerian decides to make things happen and has their sights set on the top job or recognition, Cancerians have the intelligence and ability to get there if opportunity comes their way.

From the middle of the year onwards, investments could be favourable but be wary of get rich quick schemes, risky investments, or wasting money on frivolities in September or October. Cancer is characterized by being bold and determined, as well as, highly organized and motivated in achieving what they want. Utilize your strong points and willpower in order to prevail over any work-related complications that you may encounter during the last part of 2012. Ambitious and goal-oriented commonly describes Cancer who at times appears to have boundless sources of energy at their disposal. Try to avoid conflicts with superiors at work in the middle of the year and rely on your inner strengths and determination to overcome any obstacles at the end of 2012 on the work front.

Health
In matters of health and physical well being, Cancer should enjoy a relatively uneventful year in 2012. With the exception of a few minor upsets with digestion or similar stomach problems occurring anywhere from late July to mid October, the Crab shouldn't have much to worry about in regards to good health.
Most Cancerians are often healthy throughout their lives. However, they are more prone towards developing nervous problems and circulatory diseases later in their life. Cancerians may have some sensitivity in their kidneys or urinary tract, so drinking enough water daily is often a good idea. Cancer people who have cared for their well-being and eat a healthy diet are not likely to have any major problems around their health in 2012.

Love and Friendship
Most Cancerians will be aiming for a peaceful love life this year. Previous difficulties are likely to be resolved and harmony will begin to prevail. If you have a partner, they will probably see valuable advice or support from you and find your company comforting. Cancerians tend to dream of candle light dinners and moon lit walks so it is time to act on these romantic daydreams. If you have been planning to enjoy a permanent relationship, this could be the time in which you meet a suitable partner. If a romantic relationship has been going through difficult times, you will find an approach that resolves the situation, either by healing the distance between you or coming to an agreement to remedy the situation another way.
Crabs, the actual crustaceans, thrive along seashores of the world, highly adaptable creatures living in an environment that is ever-changing. For those people born under the sign of Cancer, they also possess a unique ability to adapt when necessary and protect themselves from potential dangers lurking sight unseen, traits that Cancerians will find handy at times during 2012.

Cancerians have no trouble making friends when they want to, and will be devoted to those they hold closest to their hearts. People of this sign will deal with a few problems here and there on the family front in 2012, but once June has passed, most issues will be likely to be dealt with fairly quickly. Expect harmony to prevail after October.

Unattached Crabs could have a chance meeting during the middle of the year that leads them right to one of their major soul mates with the possibly of something permanent eventuating from this meeting.

Try not to let changes in the world put you off kilter this year. Being the sensitive creature that you are, you need to guard against worrying too much about those things that are not in your control. Focus your attention on all the love in your heart, and there is A LOT, and you will feel much better quickly.
The New Moon in Cancer falls on July 19, so if there are going to be any major upheavals in your life - moving, starting a new job, or establishing a new commitment, setting a big personal goal, then this is an ideal period for it to take place.

Single Cancerians are not usually inclined to make the first move. If you want to ask someone out, you might start with a group get-together, and once you get to know the person in question and establish their level of interest in you, you will feel more confident.

Cancer is the sign of the mother, so male Cancers often choose women who remind them of their mum. Cancerians women, however, tend to mother their men, and if a guy likes it, they will get along well. Those ruled by Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius rarely like being fussed over, so your maternal instinct needs to be toned down if a relationship is to work with them.

Special happenings await Crabs in 2012 with happy events in store for them that will allow them to have the chance to be with their special someone. You are likely to feel a lot happier in 2012. No matter how challenging situations have been, 2012 gives you the chance to improve your life and set new standards for the times ahead. Make the most the transitions in 2012, enjoy the good times, and keep in mind that this is a significant period in which to set the tone of your life for several years into the future.

Gemini Personality: Versatility is a great keyword for this dual sign. Expressive and quick-witted, the Gemini presents two distinctive sides to his or her personality, and you can never be sure with which one you're going to come face-to-face. On one hand, the Gemini can be outgoing, flirtatious, communicative, and ready for fun, fun, fun. Yet when the other twin is present, you can find this air sign contemplative, serious, restless, and even indecisive. Both twins are able to adapt to life's circumstances well, making them wonderful people to know. Things are never boring when a Gemini is on the scene.

Gemini – 2012

Actions, projects, and activities are the highlights of Gemini Horoscope 2012. Sprightly and energetic as the twin souls are, they would sure love their calendar to be filled with exciting events. Not only that, with new assignments there would be new aspirations as well. Gemini’s have a zest for life.

The year may draw on monotony during the months of July and August, but that is just a phase. You would soon turn the scenario to enthusiasm. Relationships would bloom with family, friends and loved ones. It’s your adaptable nature that is going to make you sail through tough situations and bring satisfaction.

If there be any friction this year in terms of work or otherwise, this is certainly not a time for compromises. It’s time to make your opinions heard and take the correct stand.

You are always open to suggestion and willing to learn as much about the world around you as possible. Your sponge-like brain mops up all the information life throws at us day to day, and what is overlooked by many is plainly obvious to you, and all of these wonderful attributes mark you out from the crowd.The more you understand scenarios the better, be they religious, spiritual, financial or loving, as there are some very real changes about to happen in your life.

2012 is another year of sweeping changes for Gemini. If you thought last year was a whirlwind, hold the line. With an encore round of eclipse patterns hitting your constellation this summer, you're gearing up for the next level of transformation! Your personal image and intimate relationships will continue to change over the course of the next 12 months, so be ready for anything. If you're single, this could very well be the year you finally get hitched. If you're already betrothed, this is the year you could reclaim your singledom, buy a house or have a baby. Either way, you're moving toward the great unknown, so let go - and let the stars show you the way!

This is your year to finally regain that sense of discipline you swore you'd have at the start of last year. With Saturn moving into your sector of health and routines this year, you should be able to get a good grip on daily wellness practices. Healthy foods and consistent exercise will be key to pushing your vitality from acceptable to stellar. You'll need to be operating at maximum potential to navigate all the exciting changes just around the bend!

The other big news is that Saturn is finally leaving your romance and creativity sector in October. After many hard-earned lessons in love over the past two years, you're ready for a serious reprieve. You've certainly upgraded your standards, haven't you? Use this year to live the words that you preach in your relationships. Many people look up to you as a role model, so act accordingly. With Mars activating your domestic sector for a good portion of the year, you'll have plenty of intensity on the home front to contend with. If you're not happy with your current living quarters, this is the year to put energy into making that change.

2012 is a year of great cleansing and healing in the face of all the tumultuous goings on in the outside world. The point is that you will set about making any corrections to yourself and you’ll accomplish so much in this regard. You have that direct sense of empathy for both yourself and others and you may see a lot of suffering that you may have hitherto been blind to.

Around the time of your birthday will reveal itself as a real watershed moment, as a cycle of growth begins. You’ll begin to ask yourself what it is that you now need to understand from the learning that you’ve gained and how to put it into practice. Some things from your past, like old archaic attitudes or prejudices now seem to vanish into the haze as they no longer hold any water with you. This is a great time of enlightenment, and you have the confidence to shoulder a raft of responsibility. Pluto in Capricorn means that you will develop on so many more levels this year in a way that you haven’t in at least the last twelve. Embrace this.

Neptune’s move back into Pisces at the beginning of the year means that your ideas and ambitions become immensely strong and driven. It would also seem that you’re pushing a cart up a hill but with only one wheel, but only until the month of June, as this is when Jupiter enters your sign and begins a time of new beginnings for you. This planet will help you communicate and get all those fabulous ideas of yours out into the collective. Remember that this is all about turning over a new leaf. 2012 could very well be a tense year for us all, yet you have the knowhow to make sense of strife and bring order to chaos. There will be times when your need for freedom and your sense of duty clash, but I think that you’ll learn the importance of balancing the two. Remember that Jupiter can and will be lucky for you, so start smiling.

With Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion returning to your sign on the 12th June, kicking off a brand new Jupiter cycle of expansion and your biggest, most expansive and luckiest year in over a decade, this is the year you've been waiting for and building towards for a long time. A solar eclipse in your sign on the 21st May and a very rare Venus eclipse on the 6th June, along with Jupiter’s return to your sign on the 12th June, all indicate that 2012 is destined to be a year for powerful new beginnings. With Venus, planet of love spending 4 months in your sign, Saturn in your romantic sector until the 6th October and a lunar eclipse in your relationship sector on the 4th June, 2012 is also destined to be an important year for personal matters. Yet this is also destined to be a big year for professional matters, kicking off a 14 year period of career and professional growth, while Saturn’s return to your work sector on the 6th October opens the door to a period of development on the work front that will take you through to 2015. A total solar eclipse in your work sector on the 14th November indicates a time of major new beginnings or a complete change of direction on the job front, with a solar eclipse having the power to put things on a new path or fast track things in a very short time that might otherwise take many years to achieve. So while 2012 may start out slow and it may appear that you're playing the waiting game, it will be worth the wait.

Personal and Social Life:

If any sign has sufficient ingenuity to get through hard times without any major suffering, it's Gemini. Gemini has quick eyes and a quick mind, and its natives are among the cleverest of the Zodiac. Whatever challenges come your way, you usually find a quick and easy solution so that you can get back to your projects.

Routine is pretty much foreign to Geminis. They like to seek out the unusual, bizarre, and unexpected - and in 2012, they'll certainly see a lot of it!

Gemini thrives on change, and seeks out unique experiences. As a Gemini, you don't mind taking chances that would freak out other signs. Some Geminis drive others crazy. They're adamant about a certain idea one day, and the next day they're already bored to tears. This year, however, most Geminis will thrive on all the changes going on in 2012. Boredom may go the way of the dinosaurs - especially if a Gemini happens to be your best friend.

Love:

Saturn will run its final series of tests in 2012 in your creativity and romance sectors. Hopefully you've gotten clear about where your boundaries lie, and what (and who) you need to say no to in order to remain true to your highest principles. You've learned the hard way what you will and won't tolerate in your love life, and you can now apply this wisdom to a current (or future) romance. You have until October to master those deep karmic teachings since Saturn won't return to this area of your chart for another 27-and-a-half years.

Mars moves into your romance sector in July to make a sweet contact to Venus while touring Gemini. 2012 is set to be your summer of love!

The planets work in perfect succession to keep you in the sunshine of your love all the way through December. Venus, the goddess of beauty and love, will grace your constellation for an extended visit between April and August. It will be retrograde between the end of May and June - right during your birthday season - so don't be surprised if ghosts from your romantic past make an appearance. And with the arrival of autumn, you'll still have many planets singing you amorous tunes. Venus will enter your romance sector at the end of October to continue the theme of love, beauty and pleasure. To sum up this delightful conglomeration of love transits during the second half of the year: You'll go from high-energy to pronounced libido to romance to creativity to sexuality to love to commitment (or break-up) and back - all within the span of six months!

Venus, the planet of love is generous on you this year. Love life gets more intense than ever. If there have been any unsolved questions regarding your relationship, this is the time to bring them to light and solve them. For the ones who have been in a committed relationship, can step on further and get married. However, some of you might have deep emotional insecurities. To put an end to starts with facing them first. The ones who are single are likely to meet new people of their interest and preferences. If you have been having arguments with your partner its time to look into the matter and address it. Spend some quality time your partner if you haven’t been, it will only make your bond stronger.

How long have you been with your present partner, Gemini? Have you ever shopped for a house or car together? You'll both love whatever you've found, and will make great plans. Then suddenly, another day comes (and another prospect), and you tell your partner that you've changed your mind. With erratic Uranus connecting nicely with Gemini, this year you'll find that such events will happen again and again and again!

In short: life with a Gemini could be a constant parade of fascinating people, strange ideas, and adventures that very few people are willing to try. In 2012, there will be a lot of weird and wonderful happenings, and if you can't actually see them, you'll follow every news article you can find. Your mate may or may not be interested, but the fact that you're interested fascinates him/her. One thing that your partner will never have to complain about is being bored!

Career and Money:

Neptune, the planet of inspiration, moves back into your career sector to work its mystical glamour for the next several years. This is a time when your dreams and visions insist on becoming tangible realities. A quality of inspiration infuses all that you manifest over the next 12 months, so consider the world your creative oyster! No longer will you work just for the sake of earning a wage; rather, your career promises to become more of a soul-calling. The only downside to this influence is that it can sometimes bring confusion or disillusionment. If this is the case, trust that it's simply a necessary sacrifice that will later bring deeper levels of fulfillment.

Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster, enters your work sector in October, where it will take up residence for the next two-and-a-half years. This is a time to transform your daily schedule and weed out any methods that waste time. You'll begin to take your talents more seriously and realize that you deserve higher pay and, more importantly, a higher ranking. Integrity in your work style becomes the theme for the last few months of the year, ultimately setting the tone for 2013.

Your workspace will offer you greater content and zeal to work better this year! Aggression that ruled the previous year would transform to peace and serenity. The pace of work might slow down a little but that is just an external condition. Take time out to assess your career plans. If you have been contemplating a job change, ponder over the options that you have at present. You will be having a way more positive mindset now, try and channel it in the useful directions. Seek expert advice from seniors and mentors at work. Changes start occurring from May onwards. The network that you have built up over the years would add value to you. For the ones planning to invest and carry on a business plan will receive favorable results. Lady luck is by your side!

“Gains” and “profits” are two other important words of the Gemini Horoscope 2012. Monetary gains can reach you by the means of income raise, promotions, fruitful returns of shares and bonds or property inheritance. There would be other material gains as well. This might make you spendthrift for few months. While that is a natural tendency, you aught to draw the line as well. Try and attain a balance in budget and focus on doubling your profits through savings. The year presents you with ripe opportunities in business, so make the most of it.

The world is changing, Gemini, and you're doing your best to keep up with it. You try, even though you usually take a few tries to get it right. Still, you'll roll with the punches as well as anyone can. This year, a lot of strange and wonderful events will come and go, and if you're employed in a media field, you'll have a wealth of interesting subjects from which you draw your material. If you work in a different job, you still might draw characters from your colleagues and use your mental filing cabinet to store them. Don't tell them, however! That path leads to trouble!

By putting forth your most enthusiastic effort, your colleagues and bosses alike will be proud of you - even that work nemesis. You may like your job and your co-workers, but in the long run, you're a born freelancer, and eventually you'll want to be self-employed or at least enjoy a greater amount of freedom. All in all, the events of 2012 will provide you with lots to write, talk, and think about!

Guide to Happiness Documentary Video - Montaigne on Self-Esteem

This six part series on philosophy is presented by popular British philosopher Alain de Botton, featuring six thinkers who have influenced history, and their ideas about the pursuit of the happy life. Episode 4: Montaigne on Self-Esteem looks at the problem of self-esteem from the perspective of Michel de Montaigne (16th Century), the French philosopher who singled out three main reasons for feeling bad about oneself - sexual inadequecy, failure to live up to social norms, and intellectual inferiority - and then offered practical solutions for overcoming them.
