Your Weekly Horoscope by The Astro Twins
Your Weekly Overview June 18th – June 14th, 2020
Caution: Low visibility ahead. This Thursday, June 11, the illuminating Gemini Sun gets lost in Neptune’s thick fog when the two lock into one of their biannual squares. Under this befuddling mashup, it’s hard to see the forest for the trees…much less anything (or anyone) that’s staring you right in the face. With el Sol beaming in communicative, dualistic Gemini, everyone’s got an opinion to broadcast. But what’s actually true and what’s an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory? That line could get mighty blurry with nebulous Neptune in the mix. This is not the week to pledge allegiance to an unproven leader or sign on to a cause just because it provokes a powerful emotional response. By all means, connect to the feelings that are aroused. But lift the veil. Who is actually funding this campaign? Follow the money, as the saying goes, and you may discover that it traces back to a questionable source.
Conversely, you could find that everything is legit—so much so, that you want to devote your time to this powerful cause. On a personal level, the Sun-Neptune square can stir up adversity among your friend group or reveal that a so-called ally’s intentions aren’t as pure as you once believed. You could get swept into the role of savior, knight, or “the only one who understands” a tortured soul. Or, you could subvert your own power to a charismatic guru figure who plays mind games to undermine your confidence. Making these kinds of sacrifices can bring a temporary high, but it’s a slippery slope…and one that can lead to a bottomless pit of (co)dependency. That said, the Sun-Neptune square CAN be healing. Neptune governs our subconscious while the Sun rules our self-expression. Under this transit, you may finally work up the nerve to discuss your deepest fears or reveal your buried brilliance!
Opening up to the RIGHT people (read: safe, compassionate and as nonjudgmental as possible!) is a must, especially if sharing your tender parts is an unpolished skill. The quagmire of confusion continues on Saturday when aggressive Mars meets passive Neptune for a totally awkward dance. To make matters fuzzier, both planets are parked in Pisces, the sign that rules our deepest fears, intuition, and vivid dreams. FOMO may kick into high gear with Mars here, but Neptune is the planet of illusions. That oasis in the desert may actually be a mirage, but you won’t know unless you walk right up to it and have a look. This trek could be somewhat precarious with elusive Neptune continuing to fog up the lens. At its best, the Mars-Neptune combo can summon the peaceful warriors in us. Mars is a planet of action; Neptune rules compassion. Walk with eyes open and your swords handy in case you encounter a dragon—or a personal demon—along the way.
