Gemini Weekly Horoscope
WEEK OF October 17 – 2 3, 2022
Venus is the star of the week, making a few significant connections before the weekend. The action starts in earnest on Tuesday, October 18, when Venus—at home in Libra and your flirty fifth house—forms a sweet 120-degree trine with fellow lovebird Mars in your sign. As they dance their seductive paso doble, your animal magnetism will strengthen and your confidence will soar. With Venus and Mars turning up the heat, take the lead in love on Tuesday or Wednesday, whether with an overt act or by dropping some unsubtle hints. Just tap into your Spidey senses to sidestep the needy or user types.
This is your creativity sector, so if you’re an artist or performer, consider Tuesday your personal global-stage debut! The world is your catwalk now, giving you carte blanche to punch up your presentation or performance with louder music, brighter colors, more provocative language and peacock-worthy feather-fanning. You almost can’t be or do “too much,” so throw yourself into it and have a blast. But step to it: On Thursday, Venus slams into a square with controlling Pluto, which can create the wrong kind of tension. For better AND for worse, any moves you make will get amplified on Saturday, when Venus and the Sun team up on the final day of Libra season, putting everything on full display.
The Sun-Venus duo heats up again on Sunday when both move into Scorpio—the Sun until November 22 and Venus until November 16. This can bring a power surge to all your organizational and wellness-oriented initiatives. If you haven’t updated your to-do lists in a while, get busy. And perfect timing, too, after hosting the twosome in Libra and your festive fifth house for the past several weeks, which might have left your home in a bit of a chaotic mess. Ready or not, you’re about to shift into overdrive when it comes to work and service and improving your healthy routines. It might take you a minute to get down to business, true, but once you decide to roll up your sleeves on a project, there’s no stopping you.

Still, give yourself a couple days to adjust your flow and ease into this slower, more focused pace. And if it feels a bit overwhelming, start by prioritizing the most important or time-sensitive tasks. Clear out any clutter that’s literally or metaphorically slowing you down. Map out a realistic timeline by determining everything you’d like to accomplish in the next four to six weeks. Break the larger goals into smaller steps so you don’t feel tempted mid-way to throw in the towel. Knowing you, Gem, once you’re officially in get-‘er-done mode, you’ll be operating at peak efficiency, leaving plenty of time for socializing and romancing.
In between clean-up projects, take some time to research your next big trip or adventure! You may find yourself chomping at the bit to do just that starting this Sunday, when restrictive disciplinarian Saturn concludes a five-month retrograde through your expansive ninth house. Travel and startup plans that got shuttled to the back burner over the past several months become top priority now. Don’t despair over “lost time” or opportunities. Everything is happening in perfect time—and the delay can motivate you to hit the gas pedal a little harder now. With the planet of structure back on track, just pick up wherever you left off with a trip, educational initiative or entrepreneurial launch. But if you’ve waited this long, don’t feel the need to rush. Take your time and get it letter-perfect!
