Explicit alert! In fact, make this a “careful not to burn any bridges” alert! On Monday, November 28th, someone — or something — might make you see red, but that’s no permission to give them an unaltered part of your mind! You may be justifiably excited, and it may be nice to hear your voice, but be strategic and think about the consequences. With rash Mars in your sign, retrograde no less, you’re focused on reducing simmering anger or stress. But the red planet is harmoniously aligned with wise Saturn, whose job it is to remind you to consider your possible reaction before you do anything. Even if you’re 100 percent “right” and the other party is out of line, how do you expect them to feel that they’re facing? Instead of getting it off your chest (and onto your chest), write your feelings down in a letter, say whatever you need to say. Then press Delete. (Or you can save a copy to your drafts or send it to yourself.) This can help dissipate negativity and get you out of the spiraling mental loop. Take all the energy available to you now and do something positive and constructive, like starting your own business or getting together with friends for a fun night of dancing, trivia, or karaoke.

You may have more “self-management” to deal with on Thursday, when feisty Mars (still retrograde in your sign and self-directed first house since October 30) returns to tense opposition with Venus in Sagittarius and your partnership zone. This may bring to the fore a escalating problem or force you to find that elusive sweet spot between “I” and “we”. This can be a tricky balancing act: Mars wants to get its way (now!) while harmonious Venus is too focused on maintaining the peace in a relationship that could swing you so far to the opposite extreme. Beware of the “me first” monster as much as the overly people-pleasing trap! Not sure what you want more? Focus on themes of freedom, loyalty, and control. You know who you are, Gem, and the last thing you need is to be put on a short leash.

Could you use some excellent news? Well, get ready, because this Saturday mysterious Neptune ends a five-month retrograde in Pisces that wreaked havoc in your career-oriented tenth house. Since June 28th, you may have felt like you were walking around blindfolded, trying to find your way on your professional path. One roadblock and one detour after another: beyond frustration! For Geminis who are making progress, has this come at a heavy price? If you find that the “cost” of success always has to make sacrifices, you might want to revisit things once you have a Neptune calendar. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for opportunities to come out of the blue. As Neptune’s haze dissipates, an opportunity for a leadership role could arise. Know your goals – and the deal breakers – and be ready to pounce on any moment!
