Gemini Weekly Horoscope

This week is about finding the balance between enjoying the now and tripping on your visions of the future. You have a funny way of going back and forth, Gemini. When you’re excited about a new person or opportunity, your imagination naturally spirals out, envisioning the happily-ever-after you’ll share, before you’ve truly sussed out the situation. Should your dreamy visions start to manifest into reality, however, you are likely to rebel and run in the opposite direction, scared of the burden this commitment may involve.

With structured Saturn in your romance house all year (and until October 6, 2012), you’ve really been forced to look at this paradoxical side of your personality. This week, as you reflect on 2011 and set resolutions, think about what the middle ground would look like. That tendency to romanticize and idealize has been your Achilles’ heel, but reality doesn’t have to bite. What if you paced yourself when new relationships or situations arose? What if you lowered the bar a bit so that the people you cast in your fairy tales could actually be real human beings, with virtues and foibles that you loved and accepted? Learning to dance through the ebb and flow of emotions without losing your balance is your new mission, Gemini grasshopper.

As for New Year’s celebrations, the Aries Moon lights up your house of groups, so ring in 2012 with the biggest posse you can gather. Take the pressure off yourself to play host. Your four walls may not be big enough for this crowd, and you’ll be happiest at a venue where a hired DJ is spinning your favorite jams. Near midnight your seductive streak rises up, so look out. Locking lips with a taboo person could lead to drama that you just don’t need. If an unrequited crush is kissing someone else, do yourself a favor and don’t watch. Your jealous streak could bring out some fiery emotions, and you don’t need your temper getting the best of you. On New Year’s Day, keep the social vibes going. Visit friends who stimulate your intellectual idealism, and discuss your resolutions from a high-minded place.
