Gemini Weekly Horoscope

Double down, Gemini! The era of the romantic risk-taker is officially in full swing, and you’re ready to gamble big. Chalk it up to the Sun’s shift into Sagittarius, which ignites a monthlong tour through your seventh house of partnerships beginning this Wednesday. Finding your other half is an eternal quest for Gemini, sign of the Twins, and you’ve no doubt auditioned a rotating cast of characters for this role. You’re an ever-evolving being, so finding one person who can furnish all your needs (and hopefully elevate along a similar trajectory) can be a challenge. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, Gem. You can work the buddy system with more than just one buddy. Find one person as your paramour, another to collaborate with professionally, and a third to be your songwriting partner.

No matter what their purpose, your intention should be to find people whose talents balance out your own. Although it might seem easier to fill the vacancy with a kindred spirit, the law of “opposites attract” will give rise to a satisfying union. Strong-willed Gemini, you need someone to challenge you, not another yes-man who will dissolve into mush in the face of your Svengali-like charms.

Of course, with Mercury retrograde until the 26th, you might use this week for warm-up and prep. Where have you been neglecting Numero Uno? Self-love is the prerequisite for mastery in loving another: book a spa treatment, revamp (or just vamp up) your wardrobe with a few Black Friday steals, and make sure you’ve had adequate downtime to putter about and just “do you.” When Mercury turns direct next week, you’ll be ready to go the distance with an eligible option. If you want to work on the first draft of your OkCupid profile this week, it wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Already in a relationship? There’s room for growth, even in the happiest union. Sagittarius’ solar power prompts you to study the oft-puzzling subject of relationships. Spend some downtime at the bookstore, or sign up for that couples-communication course. There’s always more to learn, Gemini, and interpersonal dynamics are a subject you find fascinating!

Except for some quirky delays due to Mercury retrograde, traveling together can be blissful this week. Bail early on family celebrations and hop a commuter flight to a cosmopolitan hot spot, reveling in the view from your 22nd-story hotel room and ordering breakfast in bed (at 3 am) after a romantic romp through the city. Single Gems who are traveling could find romance on the road. That sexy suit sitting next to you on the airplane could turn into your Friday evening date, a good reason to talk to strangers. And hey, if your high school sweetheart is presently unattached and in town, you might revive the sparks for old times’ sake. Meow! Of course, you’ll need to be pragmatic about things.

On Wednesday, love planet Venus moves into Scorpio and your structured, systematic sixth house. If you get TOO footloose-and-fancy-free, the alarm bells will go off, causing rounds of “Where is this heading?” obsession. Be clear about what you’re getting yourself into, if only to keep your own hopes and expectations in their proper place.

Venus will hang in Scorpio until December 15, prompting a bit of an untimely health kick. While Thanksgiving deprivation is a no-go, you could whip up kale salad, gluten-free stuffing or maple-sweetened yam puree to counterbalance the cream-based dishes and sugary desserts. Instead of lounging on the couch watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” for the fortieth time, lace up your sneakers and go for a run. The local gym or yoga studio might be open for holiday hours, luring you in to blow off steam.

On Thanksgiving Day, raise a toast (via videochat, if need be) to a monumental man in your life. This guy has been your unsung hero, and your thankful tribute will leave you all glowing with love. Bonus points if you can acknowledge him publicly. Doesn’t everyone deserve to know how great a guy he is?!
