Happy Gemini season! The sun connects with life-changing Pluto on the 21st and then hot-headed Mars on the 22nd. Things are getting intense! But in an exciting way! This influence boosts both our confidence and our strength. Then on the 23rd, Mars squares off with Jupiter—an aspect of initiative and courage. All those things that have desperately needed a jumpstart are finally taking off.

Unexpected romance is the theme of this weekend as love planet Venus connects with changeable Uranus on the 26th. What happens might seem random, but what if it’s meant to be? The only way to tell if it’s chaos or fate is to go with the flow and engage with what comes.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)
