Gemini Monthly Forecast

While the Sun, Venus and Mars are all on the move this month, the one planet staying put is Mercury, with the planet of communication refusing to leave your communication sector, the part of your chart where he is able to do what he does best. The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in your communication sector, making this an important time of year for all aspects of communication. However, it was at the end of August that Mercury returned for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to get the communication lines open before leaving, not to return for another year. Instead, a retrograde turn last month not only means that Mercury is still here, but until turning direct on 11th August, he is focused on giving the past and unsaid words a voice. Mercury is working closely with the planets in your friendship sector that are also turning retrograde, with four of the five already in retrograde motion by the time you move into the new month and the fifth turning retrograde on 12th August. While the Sun will move on and, as he does at the same time each year, return to your home and family sector on 23rd August, Mercury will stay on in your communication sector until 3rd September. Meanwhile, having just returned to your income sector on 31st July, until she leaves on 26th August, Venus will be working to make these some of the most potentially lucrative weeks of the year. While that will always be the case, Jupiter's return in June means that for the first time in over a decade, you have the planets of money and luck working together. At the same time, from the start there are forces in play that are standing by to make this a positive month across the income, work and career fronts. Helping to keep things balanced is Mars' return to a playful and creative part of your chart on 7th August, where within days he will be connecting with Pluto in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and Uranus, who is settling into his first full month in Gemini in eight decades. Within days, this trio of planets will be firing up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence.

Held back by a retrograde phase Venus, the planet of love finally left Gemini on 31st July, hours before you moved into the new month. Fresh from reviewing your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year, Venus has left you with everything needed to embark on the journey ahead. While there is no planetary activity in your romantic or relationship sectors and there rarely is at this time of year, your heart's over the horizon radar and Venus' influence will be telling you that this is about to change. While there will be no planetary activity on the relationship front until later in the year, on the romantic front there is a definite sense of change in the year. As you move into the new month, not only has it been just a few hours since Venus left Gemini, but the Moon is just wrapping up a visit to your romantic sector that made her final days some of the most romantically charged. While the Sun doesn't return to your romantic sector until the September equinox each year, both Venus and these romantically charged lunar vibes will have your heart on high alert. That change will come when on 7th August Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos will return for his first visit to your romantic sector in two years to kick off the most romantically charged months of 2025. Within 48 hours, Mars will be rubbing shoulders with two of the heavyweights of the solar system, forming a friendly aspect to Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in an adventurous part of your chart during a three day period from 9th August to 11th August. This will bring the planets of passion, change and synchronicity, locking into a place a mix of romance, passion and adventure. This will get another boost when the Moon moves through your romantic sector from 26th August to 28th August. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity in your relationship sector, the Moon's return from 3rd August to 5th August and then again from 31st August will be a valuable chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware.
