Welcome to your Queer Weekly Horoscope, a bite-sized look at the coming days broken down by your zodiac sign.
Welcome to the latter half of Gemini Season! We’re only midway through Pride Month, but we’ve already reached the point of the party where the friend group — or the zodiac signs, in this case — have split up to pursue their own side quests. Everybody is canoodling with crushes, navigating disaster, and experiencing profound epiphanies! Or maybe some people have just stepped outside to rehydrate and avoid talking to anyone else for a while. We won’t reunite to compare notes and pile into a post-party cuddle puddle until Cancer season starts.
Venus, the Sun, and Mercury all get friendly with Chiron the healer this week, mending old wounds for some signs. Chatty Mercury snubs responsible Saturn, but becomes besties with the Sun on Friday. Neither Venus or Mercury is getting along with shadow ruler Lilith, and Venus has no time for Neptune’s idealism at the moment, either. Mars decides to start a fight with ponderous Pluto, which is currently retrograde and drifting so far on the periphery that nearly everybody else forgot it was there. The First Quarter Moon in Virgo throws shade at the Sun from its farthest point of orbit around the Earth.
We’ll get into the gossip with Gemini, then go through each sign until everyone’s omens have been examined. If you know more of your placements than your Sun Sign alone (Moon, Rising, Mars, etc.), check their entries as well to get a full picture of your weekly horoscope.
What the stars are up to:
- The Sun, Venus, Jupiter, and your ruler Mercury are in your sign.
- Venus forms a sextile with Chiron and squares off against Lilith and Neptune.
- Mercury forms a sextile with Chiron and squares off against Saturn and Lilith.
- The Sun forms a sextile with Chiron and passes through conjunction with Mercury.
What it means:
For you, this week is about honoring your hope to heal by initiating some tough conversations. You’re so focused on smoothing the sharp edges between your relationships that you ignore the summons of selfishness, idealism, and even ambition in order to go mend fences. Sounds like a noble sacrifice, but it won’t manifest itself like a great quest. Instead, some movement in your peripheral vision will suddenly feel much more fascinating than anything looming immediately ahead in your path, pulling your attention sideways. Those distractions are precisely the discussions you should pursue! You don’t always operate on everyone else’s logic, and a zig-zag trajectory will get you to your destination faster than a straight line.
What the stars are up to:
- Your sign ruler the Moon travels through Leo, Virgo, and Libra.
- The Moon squares off against the Sun in First Quarter phase and reaches its farthest point of orbit around the Earth in Virgo.
- Sneak preview of next week: in the final days of Gemini season, Venus and Mercury both move to your sign and pass through conjunction with each other.
What it means:
You’re floating way out in the farthest reaches of your soul again, preparing for the upcoming arrival of your own season by seeking the privacy of your own mind. Other people may make well-intentioned attempts at connecting with you; you’ll meet them with a lingering, thousand yard stare because something inside of you craves silence and security right now.
