Gemini Weekly Horoscope

This week is going to feel like a breath of fresh air, Gemini. The Scorpio New Moon arrives on the 9th, lighting up your 6th House of Wellness and Routine, and opening up a fresh window of opportunity to get your life together, so just because this year is nearing the finish line doesn’t mean you can’t hop back on the wellness wagon before it winds down. This lunation gives you a chance to streamline your life and remove anything which is getting in the way of you performing to the best of your ability. It might take a bit of extra work and faith in yourself, but if you tune in to the vibrations of the Universe, you’ll be able to make some serious progress by the time the Scorpio Full Moon rolls around in six months.

Speaking of new energies coming your way, there is good news arriving on the 13th. It wouldn't be at all shocking if things have been confusing on the work front recently, and if they haven’t then congratulations to you for holding it together so well. Life’s been a bit of a juggling act with your ruler Mercury retrograde in Scorpio and your responsible 6th House for the last few weeks, but happily that this signal-scrambling transit comes to an end on as the cosmic communicator wakes up and gets back to helping you move forward with productive ease, rather than dragging you down with one complication after another. It may take a little while for Mercury to stretch and drink its coffee and get back up to speed, but you should start to see roadblocks disappear where before they seemed absolutely insurmountable, so roll up your sleeves and get to work because you’re going to have to put in a lot less effort to see a lot more reward.

If your love life has been about as exciting as a trip to the morgue lately, well, there are plenty of good reasons for that. The biggest issue at hand has been the fact that for the last few weeks, romantic Venus has been rotating backwards in retrograde formation, effectively putting the kibosh on any and all relationships. This is never a fun time for anyone regardless, but you especially had a rather trying time of this phase as Venus originally went to sleep in Scorpio and your 6th House before backing up into Libra and your 5th House of Romance.

Normally, transits to this sector of your chart are supposed to be fun at the very least, but with the retrograde it probably was more than a little lackluster. You might have heard from a few ex’s or other old romantic attachments, most of whom were probably better left in the past, but you can stop worrying about them popping up like groundhogs as Venus turns direct on the 13th. It will take almost a full month for her to resume her normal speed, and until then don’t expect to cover too much new territory; you’ll be more focused on fixing any remaining problems the retrograde brought to your attention.
