Gemini Weekly Horoscope | February 12th – 18th, 2024
Things really kick into high gear when Mars enters Aquarius on February 13th. Mars always brings an adrenaline rush to whatever part of the chart it happens to be passing through and this will only increase when Venus also enters Aquarius on the 16th. It looks like you are in discussions about some sort of partnership, deal, or investment. Whatever the negotiation, it appears to be a promising one; however, it could require you – or the other party β to break a pledge. If so, then you must do it properly or this will certainly come back to bite you in the derriere later on.

A Mars/Neptune sextile on February 7th shows a superior happily making introductions but you’ll need to follow through with them on your own. Why the hesitation? Is it because you’re suffering from cold feet or is it because you feel like you’re being pushed into something before you feel ready? Pisces people can grow surprisingly resistant the closer they get to their goals. It comes from the fear that their vision of what could be may not measure up to what you imagined. Nothing does, but reality checks don’t need to be downers. They can be invitations to get creative with what you’ve been given.

You don’t like being forced to choose between one party or another. Not only does it go against your Venus nature β which is always looking for a way to have her cake and eat it too β but it’s also impractical. Nobody owns you nor did you mislead anyone into believing your loyalty was exclusive. What it gets down to is hurt feelings resulting from a bruised ego. Take the time to smooth over ruffled feathers while maintaining your autonomy. You’ll get what you want because both sides want you, but at the same time, you don’t want to look like you’re taking advantage of it.

You’re still having a hard time gauging whether you’re coming on too strong or not strong enough. Mars in Capricorn makes you feel like you have to keep pushing ahead while Venus worries about what would happen if you let up. Thankfully Neptune’s pacifying energies will take the edge off this cosmic energy and make you less defensive. The end result is you being more open to others’ input. This allows you to listen to what they say, absorb criticisms, and benefit from their insight. It’s been a long time since you’ve been so receptive and it’s a sensation you’re grateful to be feeling again.

Mercury under the rays of Pluto on February 5th is bound to make you feel overlooked and taken for granted. These are deeply ingrained triggers for a Virgo, passed down through centuries, and it will be hard to contain your resentment. Yet you need to reflect on how you may have collaborated in this. Virgos like to help out and are modest when it comes to praise. This can create the impression you’re uncomfortable with attention and would rather just avoid it. Nobody’s saying you should turn into a Leo, but taking pride in your accomplishments could invite others to take pride in them as well.

Sun/Uranus squares are famous for tossing you curve-balls from out of left field and being an Aquarius you’ve gotten used to handling them. Sometimes you’ll even toss them back; however, the close proximity of this square to the New Moon in your sign on February 9th shows that even you will be thrown for a loop by this one. Whatever the surprise revelation it will be what people famously call “a nice problem to have”. Take your time sizing up this new situation and all of its repercussions. It’s replete with possibilities and promises to change the rules of the game β and in your favor.

Geminis prefer assignments with a quick turnaround. You size things up swiftly, work fast, and deliver ASAP so you can move on to something new. The idea of committing to any endeavor that takes longer than 48 hours to yield results is mind-numbing, which is why the Mercury/Pluto conjunction on February 5th poses a dilemma. This is when you’ll be invited to join a project or enterprise that could take weeks (maybe even months) to get off the ground. At first, you’ll want to pass, but Pluto is famous for rewarding those who brave its ordeals β and yours appears to be a test of patience.

Once again, the Sun will be forming a square to Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, on February 8th. These are bi-annual occurrences when most of us watch in disbelief as our best-laid plans get turned upside down or inside out.
You can think of Sun/Uranus squares as Mercury retrogrades on steroids. This one will be particularly potent because of its close proximity to the New Moon in Aquarius. This signals something under the radar that’s bound to have a surprise impact.
Admittedly, this sounds a bit distressing, but Sun/Uranus squares are just as likely to bring a breakdown as a breakthrough. It really is anyone’s guess.
If it’s a breakdown, then think of this square as the only way out of a situation that’s dominated your life for months.
And if it’s a breakthrough? Then consider it payback for all those upset apple carts you’ve had to pick up after.

Nobody’s burned more bridges than you which is why you’ll be surprised by an offer to patch things up on February 7th. It’s totally out of the blue.

Can people really be that forgiving? Evidently the answer is yes. Nevertheless you’ll need some time to wrap your mind around this. Nobody’s saying you have to be besties, but giving peace a chance is always a good thing.

Usually you’re open to new ideas and fresh perspectives, but there’s something about the person critiquing your job performance that rubs you the wrong way. Maybe it’s the brusque manner, smug condescension, or the fact they’re younger than you. Unfortunately, this person is here to stay which means you need to find a way to get along. Have you thought about praise? It may seem like this person is impervious to compliments, but approval is something everyone craves β even the person telling you how to do your job. Try it and you may elicit a smile; a tell-tale sign that there’s a human being underneath.
