Gemini (those born May 21-June 20):  As a child of Mercury, you have long been accustomed to the dance of survival. Like an expert fencer, you swoop and swing when you’ve got a shot; otherwise you stay light on your feet and prance away from glancing blows until you can land a hit.

But 2019 will stand out as the year when instead prancing around for your own survival, you are prancing around, possibly engaged in a two-step with a true, blue partner. Yes, Gemini, this could be a year when you will feel you’ve met your match.

In a world where you often feel precariously solo, this is the year for you to catch a break. Whether in business or in marriage, there is somehow so much more of what you have longed for: backing and support, love and admiration, perspective, increased opportunities, mutual benefit, conversation and above all: a sense of humor.

With Jupiter traveling through its own sign of Sagittarius in 2019 in your solar house of marriage, it bodes well for all things related to coupling. But keep in mind, this is the sign opposite of yours and it is your partner, not you, who is broadcasting all the good vibes from Jupiter. But you’ve no doubt heard it said that a rising tide lifts all boats, so if your dingy is tied up to your partner’s yacht, then expect to be elevated during 2019.

But let’s talk about your partner. This person may seem the perfect match and might well be, but first you’ll need to take off the rose-colored glasses to see the relationship clearly. You, Child of Mercury, deal in the here and the now, in the finiteness of the present, armed with all the facts you think relevant to the situation at hand.

Your partner is far more aspirational and hopeful and lives in the promise of all that is out there. Because your partner is not limited by the myopia of the moment, she or he is able to assess future trends and get in position for opportunities that are down the road a bit. Gemini is many things but not what you’d call a long-range thinker, so the two of you could butt heads about the appropriate course of action, but you both have good points to make.  [Continued at RulingPlanets.com]
