Gemini Monthly Love Horoscope

Easy does it, Gem. Love planet Venus is still retrograde for the first half of November (until the 13th, to be exact). To make matters more challenging, it’s reversing through Libra and your passionate fifth house, which could dredge up drama and stormy emotions. Since retrogrades bring back the past, this one could see the return of an ex, or find you ruminating about the past. Used correctly, Venus retrograde can also be a time of repair, when you put painful old love stories to bed. 

Once the retrograde ends on the 13th, the spark is back! Until December 4, Venus remains in your fifth house of romance, bringing out your playful, flirty side. Plan creative dates or rekindle a flame that fizzled this fall. 

Safeguard your tender feelings on November 28, when Venus opposes wounded healer Chiron, which is retrograde in Aries and your friendship zone. If a love interest or a friend’s opinion stirs up old insecurities, explore those feelings. Chiron retrograde (until January 6) is a chance to stop seeking group approval and start following your heart.

Meanwhile, the other love planet has a lot to say! Feisty Mars has been charging through Leo and your third house of communication since late September. Until November 25, your social calendar and your texting thumbs stay busy. Explore new neighborhood spots with your favorite plus-one, or let a friend set you up with one of their mutuals. For couples, conversations could get heated, in part because Mars gets right to the point and doesn’t mince words. 

As a Gemini, you can get into trouble with your colorful commentary, so take precautions under this spicy transit to be honest but kind! This is especially important while your ruler, talkative Mercury, is retrograde until November 13 (alongside Venus). The odds of being misunderstood are particularly high now.

On November 25, Mars moves into Virgo and your fourth house of home and family, where it stays until February 2. You’ll be in nesting mode, so host a cozy holiday dinner or spruce up your space together, adding some sexy and energizing touches. Couples might discuss moving in with each other or blending family traditions. Just watch the nitpicking. Mars in Virgo can stir up tension at home, so choose your battles, especially with relatives in your orbit.
