Daily Horoscope for Gemini Summary

The energy shifts a little bit this week, with Mercury going direct. As always, the Mercury retro elements have a tendency to linger until it's back into full speed ahead mode again, and that will be applicable today. You are going to want to stay aware of the recent things you've learned and the perspective it gives you, as you'll have some opportunities to put these to use.

Aside from that, we have a couple other things going on. First is the Sun connecting with Uranus. This is going to kickstart a lot of people's senses of creativity. I'll liken it to my idea for a cheap, automatic sock folder from earlier this retro, which presently looks like a market deficiency. One of you will probably steal this idea now and make a million bucks; when you do, remember ol' Bud (at least send me a free one).

Mars also sits in between Saturn and Pluto, drawing off both of them. This can perpetuate some of the uneasiness that's been going on with any work issues, though that aspect is trying to fade. As Mars moves closer to Pluto through the week though, you're going to see more destructive tendencies arise. Be careful about tearing things down without good reason, and also without a good replacement plan. This also applies to items, so be more careful with your stuff.

Lastly, you have Venus oppo Jupiter, which can create some short term-long term desire conflicts. Are you bailing on better rewards down the line in order to get a cheap thrill now? Are you sticking with bad situations out of dumb principles that don't hold up under scrutiny? Weigh both sides of these types of scenarios before you make decisions.

Overall, there's quite a bit of tension in the chart, but relative to the recent energy, at least it's set up to not hit you all in the same spot at the same time. There will be some challenges, but also some opportunities. This is really one of those "stick with it" kind of charts where going through some adversity creates better situations for you in the future. The main thing is to avoid getting fed up, flipping over your war room table and starting from scratch. Work within the situations you're in for solutions, as they're out there. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Gemini

All of the well wishing and hopes and dreams and unicorns and Fruity Pebbles with Lucky Charms (wait, those actually exist) don't mean anything if you don't get off the couch to pursue them. That's the big factor with the current energy - you can dissuade yourself from attempting to make improvements because you can make these decisions in your mind they aren't going to happen before you try. Sure, some forethought can go a long way in avoiding awful scenarios. But for most of them, you're better off giving things a go and verifying if they're going to fail - not all of them will, and there's some pretty sweet developments coming from the ones that don't.
