Gemini Weekly Horoscope

The week begins with a jarring square between the primal Sun and karmic Saturn on the 6th, who normally only meet up like this twice a year for a frosty ‘hello’. The Sun is in Cancer and your 2nd House of Income, while Saturn is rotating through Aries and your far-reaching 11th House of Global Networks. Under this combination, there might be a serious dissonance between what you want to do and what you have to do, and finding a balance might be all but impossible. The way you earn your money could be out of step with your ideals and values, or perhaps you realize the people you associate with might be holding you back as opposed to lifting you up. Your values are indeed up for inspection under this transit, and you are being required to analyze how you act and how that does or doesn’t line up with your words; take your time to consider.

Next, Neptune turns retrograde on the 7th, hitting the snooze button in Aries and your outgoing 11th House until mid-December. During this soul-searching phase you may feel the need to surround yourself with people who more closely align with your values, and at the same time you may realize that some of the people currently around you aren’t all on the same page. You don’t need to weed out your social circle overnight, but there is room for long-term improvement; remember that Neptune moves like water, and in the same way the tides don’t change in the blink of an eye, neither does Neptune move in a very fast fashion.

The next important shift occurs on the 9th, when alluring Venus leaves Leo and your 3rd House of Communications, and dives into Virgo and your 4th House of Feelings and Foundations. For the next four weeks, romance will be about wearing your heart on your sleeve, and while you might normally prefer a secure and stable partner, they will look even more attractive this time around. Since Venus also rules aesthetics, this would be the perfect time to turn your eye to your abode and give it a bit of a makeover, though Venus loves to splurge so it couldn’t hurt to give yourself a realistic budget before you start making any major changes.

The Sun will conjunct Mercury on the 12th for an electric surge, so pay attention to any important conversations or interactions that arise at this time, although with Mercury currently retrograde make sure you’re engaging in matters that have already been established as opposed to trying to hatch fresh eggs. These two planets will be syncing up in Cancer and your 2nd House of Income, so matters pertaining to your material security will likely be on the table; you could benefit from returning to an old project or side hustle, or even give a current project a bit of an update, but refrain from signing on to any new gigs, as they likely won’t pan out for long with Mercury backtracking like this.
