Gemini Weekly Horoscope

Hopefully you’ve found ways to enjoy yourself lately, Gemini! For the last four weeks, you had the Sun moving through Libra and your fun-loving 5th House of Passion and Creativity, but it’s time to buckle down and get serious on the 23rd as the primal Sun blasts into Scorpio and your orderly 6th House of Health and Routine, where it will be doing its best to help you get your act together during its annual visit. Since this sector of your chart rules your workaday life, among other things, don’t be surprised if you see things begin to pick up at the office–or wherever it is you go to earn your money–because that’s exactly where your attention will be focused for the time being. That being said, if you put in the required effort, you could see some terrific results by the time the Sun moves on.

That being said, you will want to take these developments slowly; your ruler Mercury has also been encouraging you to turn yourself into a lean, green, efficiency machine ever since it entered your 6th House several weeks ago. This is always a great time to get your life in order, but this transit is going to be a little scrambled starting on the 24th thanks to the cosmic communicator backstroking in retrograde motion until November 13th. The most important thing to remember during the next three weeks is to avoid engaging in any new work projects; during retrogrades we need to return to things we’ve already initiated, so rather than forging ahead you should really forge behind.

That being said, since the 6th House rules a lot of your daily life, expect the cracks to show and things to fall through them; there’s little room for perfection right now but a lot for improvements. Health matters could also come up for inspection, but if something serious occurs it would be wise to get a second opinion before you get carried away with an entirely new approach to life; this sector favors small changes over big ones, so the last thing you need to do is completely reboot your daily schedule.

As it turns out, Venus is also retrograde in your 6th House, but on the 25th she will back up into Libra and your outgoing 5th House for the remainder of this cycle, where she will eventually turn direct on November 13th, the same day that Mercury wakes up, too. In the meantime, don’t be surprised if a few old flames enter the picture; you may also be drawn to old creative projects which are worth a second look. Try to only give time and energy where it will actually be valuable, because it seems there will be plenty of things competing for your attention in the meantime!
