A Gemini's Tale

Brace yourself Gemini. With Mercury's unsteady trajectory, and the ensuing planetary bump with a moody Neptune, you can expect to feel some emotional turbulence in the coming weeks. Maintaining a cool head and calm heart, will help you navigate these astrological curveballs. Fear not though - it’s not all bad news! Adaptability is one of your sign’s strengths and while life’s various bumps may upend your carefully laid plans, remember that difficult and frustrating changes often end up blossoming into truly positive shifts. Do not cling to stale aspirations and be open to embrace new and unexpected opportunities. Only then will you experience true momentum.

A career transmutation is also on its way. Receiving tough feedback at work will feel like a setback but hold tight and accept the criticism with good grace and openness. Once your bosses see your willingness to grow it is only a matter of time before an advancement is presented to you. Find small ways to distinguish yourself around the office and don’t be afraid to infuse a bit of your effusive personality in your daily tasks - your co-workers will appreciate your positivity - but be wary of partaking in water cooler gossip.

Your financial outlook is looking rosy, but continued pragmatism is necessary. Be wary of investments that sound too good to be true. A friend will offer a stock tip but consider the source - there’s a reason why they are always asking you for a loan. If you’re going to spend a bit of extra money, small strategic splurges can make you feel giddy and spoiled without breaking the bank. Unexpected expenses will likely pop up in the next few months but will be easily manageable if you practice restraint now.

A summer heat wave is in the forecast, and as the temperatures rise, in the intense swelter and prolonged sweaty days, you’ll find yourself drawn to someone new, an enigmatic and attractive acquaintance that drifts in and out of your periphery. With each subsequent interaction, each time you cross each other’s paths, this person’s allure grows. Don’t dismiss the intensity of your initial feelings. As irrational as this crush may seem, a genuine and lasting connection will develop and endure long after the initial flirting.

You will find some of your other relationships undergoing changes. A close friend drifts away from you, as the bond you once shared dissipates. Some friendships inevitably wane and fade. It can be hard to bear these losses but this is a natural phenomenon. Celebrate the time you had together rather than mourn it as a loss. Meanwhile, an Aries colleague will be drawn to your intellectual prowess and outgoing nature. A shared sense of humour will bring you closer together. On the family front, you will encounter some flare-ups and fireworks in the household dynamic. While it’s best not to be reactive in these situations, or let your anger get the best of you, a little bit of chaos can help purge the negative emotional build-up and tension.

As you embark on a new creative project, remember that you have the raw synergy of the twins at your disposal. The Gemini tendency is to flit between hobbies and passions, and to be a bit indecisive. That whimsical nature is what makes you you, but focus is what is required for this undertaking. Throwing your full unrestrained, unmitigated energy and attention into this project will produce something beautiful and give you a tremendous sense of satisfaction.
