Gemini: Monthly romantic

Your fast-paced cosmic leader mercury goes retrograde in aries on april 1, which energizes your house of hopes and wishes and helps you reassess where you are and where you’d like to be in the near future. If your love life isn’t exactly giving off the vibes you’d like it to, ask a bff or sibling for advice. They’ll give it to you straight. When pleasure-seeking venus partners with hot-headed aries on the fourth, you don’t think very long before making major decisions that could affect your love life. Other people can probably see what a train wreck this impulsive behavior is, but you’re happily oblivious to the problems that your irrational spontaneity could cause. Good luck with that! A mercury-venus conjunction in aries on april 19 encourages candid conversations that should help break down any walls between you and your so or someone you’re trying to get to know better, with deeper emotional connections as the result. The more you open up, gemini, the more vulnerable you feel, but not in a bad way. Mercury stations direct while still in loud aries on the twenty-fifth, urging you to speak up for what you need and want. Your directness might be a turnoff, but that’s not going to stop you from speaking your mind. If you’re with someone who doesn’t want to debate and argue, they might not be the one for you. Your soul mate has to be able to hang with you verbally and mentally. Period.
