Fortunately, your love life is enter a smoother period as your birthday year gets rolling. Other areas of life may be taking up more of your day-to-day energy and time (i.e., family, friends, etc.). Those in new relationships, may be particularly enjoying the honeymoon period and feel their heart's rejuvenation from any past wounds. Luck with areas of romance may be boosted through at least August. As Mercury (your planetary ruler) goes retrograde starting in late-September 2021, you may notice that you are sweating the small stuff in your relationships more and more. This can affect not only romantic partnerships, but your friend and family relationships, too. October 2021 may be a more difficult month, as the retrograde is in Libra (a fellow air sign) making it a tougher than normal Mercury Retrograde for you. Your normally strong communication skills may not be feeling as quick during this period, so think twice before you commit to words spoken or written.

Singles have it best during the first few months of the birthday year, for luck with love matters. You have positive connections and new people that you are attracting, and more luck to start something serious. So, some of you single Geminis may not be single for that much longer. If you want the relationship to stick past 2021, you may need to work especially hard next year on maintaining a balanced relationship. Four mercury retrogrades await you in 2022, with the first three in air signs! A doozy of a mercury retrograde in Gemini starts in May 2022, that may be making you feel like your love life has gone full circle.

It is never all bad news, so look forward to February 2022 which whether you are single or not at that time is sure to be a romantic time for you with plenty of attention and love headed your direction.

Geminis who are in committed relationships should also be aware of the mercury retrograde periods ahead (starting in September 2021 and January, May, September, and December 2022). These are high risk difficult communication periods for you and your partner. On top of that, you may be feeling more internally conflicted on what exactly you are wanting for your long-term love life.

With the highs and lows of your love life to worry about, there is good news to share for your career and financial sectors of life. Overall, it is a fantastic time to devote energy to your career path this birthday year. Whatever you put into projects, current position, or even a new path (if you choose to change careers), you should be having your hard work rewarded in time! Expect for late-2021 to bring to you even more opportunities to consider, as you have multiple paths before you to consider in picking a direction to walk next year. You may be suffering from "too many choices" versus no options at all. It is not a bad thing, but it is a lot to think about, especially if you have been in a career rut. While the path to the top is a long climb, you can definitely gain momentum this birthday year! It is a luckier career period, especially after the Sagittarius solar eclipse in December 2021. More people are noticing the gifts and talents that you can bring to the table, too. Expect some jealous co-workers or competitors come January thru March 2022. It is nothing you can't handle with your quick wit. Career relationships should be more calm, as you get closer to mid-2022.

Financially, you are on an upward climb, with less challenging periods and stressors to deal with than last year. While you may be feeling stronger with money and luck with business affairs, it doesn't mean you should take any unnecessary risks. Watch out for bad advise from people who may not have your best interests at heart. There is an increase of people who want to make an unethical quick buck in 2021. You are typically too smart to fall for any "get rich quick schemes", but even you can end up getting caught off guard. The second quarter of 2022 may have you wanting to make a big purchase. If you avoid any poorly judged impulse buys, you should be in a good place to go forward with a new car, home, or other big purchase next year! Your hard work is really able to pay off in positive ways.
