Gemini Weekly Horoscope | February 19 – February 25, 2024
Saying “yes” doesn’t mean you’re making a final commitment. It’s a Gemini thing to use a sliding scale for determining how in or out you truly are. Although the Venus/Mars conjunction on February 22nd shows you’re serious about wanting to partner with someone romantically, professionally, or creatively; you still like to keep your options open. It allows you to relax and to think straight. That said, you’ll want to be sure that your fence-sitting isn’t sending the wrong message. You may be spooking the other party without meaning to, which could lead them to go with somebody else. You don’t want to wind up empty-handed.

There’s never just one cure-all. Not with you. The way out of a tight fix usually involves a series of short-term solutions stitched together to help you get from here to there. You hate having to borrow from Paul to pay Peter or coax a situation on its last legs to keep going just a little longer, yet this is also when you are the most creative and resourceful. You may yearn for security, but you also know there’s nothing more deadening than the formulaic. The trick is to find the midpoint between consistency and cacophony; something you’ll be discovering in the weeks to come.

There’s often an undeniable attraction when Venus conjoins Mars in the sky (February 22nd). Yet what should be a romantic encounter can easily turn into a game of one-upmanship when they come together in Aquarius. That’s because each planet is trying to impress the other with their intellect and worldly experience. Since neither is willing to play the appreciative audience, it can turn into a standoff. Be the first to praise the other person – even if it feels like you’re fanning their ego – and you’ll soon see that the reason they wanted to impress you was in order to get you to like them.

Paying your dues may seem like an outdated notion, but it’s still a fact of life. There are times when we have to work hard without proper pay and are forced to make sacrifices. It seems exploitative, but there’s no denying the wealth of experience that you accrue. This is something that will be infinitely recognizable on February 24th when Venus squares Jupiter. Many people are promoted to positions before they’re ready, and this is when everyone sees that they’re untried or all show and no track record. Yours is coming at just the right time to show you off in the best light possible.

Are you imagining things, or is your partner checking up on you? What else can explain the barrage of texts asking where you are and what you’re doing? And here you thought that you were the jealous one in the relationship. It’s nice being the focus of so much attention – not only from your partner but also the person your partner’s obsessed with. Now you could say that there’s nothing to worry about, but where’s the fun in that? Enjoy being fought over. Not only is it a welcome role reversal, but it also teaches people what it’s like to be in your shoes.

A Venus/Mars conjunction is supposed to be favorable for romance. The thinking is that women are from Venus and men are from Mars, so what’s to keep this combination of cosmic energies from creating a match made in heaven?
Well, that might have been true back in the day when men got their way, women had no say, and gender binarism was here to stay, but a lot of things have changed over the past 2500 years.
Although a conjunction still signifies that two planets are in the same place at the same time in the sky above, it doesn’t mean that those planets are on the same page – much less see things eye-to-eye.
It’s true that women are from a different planet than men (astrologically speaking at least), so any assumption that guys are naturally fluent in gal pal or women can talk full bro-speak is mistaken. What can happen when these planets get together is a recognition of differences and an appreciation for the other person’s perspective.
Instead of reverting to stereotype, the Venus/Mars conjunction in Aquarius on February 22nd provides an opportunity to ditch the role-playing and to get to know an individual for who they truly are.

It’s been a long time since you met someone who truly gets you. The charge is electric, the rapport instant, and your mind is already formulating future plans. This might be a romantic pairing, but it could also be a creative collaboration or business partnership. Why not all of the above? A rare Venus/Mars conjunction in Aquarius on February 22nd shows this will be a long-lasting relationship as guaranteed by Aquarius’s traditional ruler – Saturn. It will also be controversial, which speaks to Uranus, Aquarius’s modern ruler. You’ll never grow bored; even thirty years from now, it will still feel like you’ve only just met.

Mars and Venus join Mercury, Pluto, and the Sun in the zodiac sign of Aquarius this week.
Usually, this would signal a time for everyone to put aside their differences and interlock arms for the greater good, but that won’t be happening because of the dark planet in the room.
Pluto is a lot like the 13th fairy that nobody wants to invite for fear that she’ll spoil the party. Unfortunately, disasters often result from NOT inviting said fairy. This could materialize as a situation where you have to make a Faustian bargain, forge an unholy alliance, or bend the knee to someone you know is undeserving.
Do it. It may feel like you’re betraying everything you stand for, but sometimes you have to welcome the unwelcome characters into your life. They may start off as repugnant, but over time you may begin to see them in a new light.
In fact, they could prove to be truer friends than the people you thought were.

How well do you play with others? It’s something you’ll be thinking about when Ruling Planet Mars conjoins Pluto in Aquarius on February 14. Aquarius is all about putting the group’s interests ahead of your own. In truth, you’ve always been a team player, albeit an outstanding one given your fiery nature. Now you must coordinate efforts, take into account people’s feelings, and adjust your aims and methods so that everyone benefits. At first, you won’t like it – why should you share credit with those who don’t perform as well as you – but that will change as you grow more comfortable with your new role.

Work has always been a natural outlet for you. It doesn’t matter how anxious or frustrated you feel, as long as you have your work – you’re happy. But work doesn’t necessarily mean a job. It could be a hobby, a favorite pastime, or something you do just for you. You’ve often wondered what would happen if you pursued this instead. Your reason is always money, but there’s a deeper hesitation than that. Would something you enjoy doing still be appealing if you had to make your living doing it? It’s the difference between a calling and a recreation, and that’s something only you can answer.

A matter close to home requires your full attention this week. This could be a property concern, something to do with a loved one, or a fundamental decision that has a lasting impact. This won’t come as a great surprise. In fact, you’ve been anxious about it for weeks but now that it’s here you’ll find that you’re ready to deal with it. Your two Ruling Planets Mars and Pluto, at the nadir of your solar chart, show that they’re solidly in your corner. It’s funny how the planets that presage a rough passage are also the same ones to help you get through it.
