Gemini forecast for Monday January 16, 2022

Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: Greek playwright Menander counselled: 'Let bravery be thy choice, but not bravado'. His timeless advice is particularly relevant to you this week. You've been putting a brave face on a difficult situation for so long that you've almost forgotten that it's causing you stress. The trouble is that, by pretending you're above being hurt, you risk sending the wrong signal to someone who can help or comfort you. The bravery needed this week involves finding the courage to drop your guard a little and reaching out. The response will warm your heart.

Your Weekly Horoscope: If you ever find yourself deep in the English countryside, you'll see old-fashioned signposts showing the mileage to the next village. Then, a mile further down the road, another signpost indicates that you're further away than you were. You're not misreading the info! Some of those old signs were 'guesstimates', made in what's jokingly called 'country miles'. With Mercury, your ruler, now retrograde, expect a few pieces of misinformation coming your way. Yet you really do know where you're going. Stick to your plans this week.

There are a lot of people on this planet. For the most part, we get along; we smile, and we small talk, we adjust to each other's quirks, and acclimatise to each other's tastes. Yet no matter how friendly someone might be, no one ever quite sees the world as we do. Everyone brings their own views, perspectives, and prejudices to every situation. Reconciling two distinctly opposing views might feel almost impossible this weekend; but, with an open mind (and your ruler, Mercury retrograde), it will be easier than you expect.

Is it easy to see straight ahead? An ophthalmologist might give you one answer, a psychoanalyst another. There are lots of different factors that affect our ability to perceive accurately what's right in front of our noses. But none of them are as brilliant at deceiving us as our imagination. When we're overly optimistic, or pessimistic, it affects our judgment. And our vision gets hazy. As Mercury, prepares to turn retrograde, you're able to recognise something you've been looking at. Yet, until now, have been unable to identify fully.

As your ruler, Mercury, slows to turn retrograde, it intensifies your focus. Which means that if you were armed with a bow and arrow, and were trying to hit a target, your chances of hitting it would be higher than usual. Although I might normally give this kind of advice to someone born under the sign of the archer, it's relevant, because your attention's aimed at a specific goal. Although you can't be absolutely sure that you'll reach it, you're right to think that your chances are high. Hold on to your intentions and tap into that confidence today.

January 11, 2022

You've been doing the groundwork. You've drawn up the plans, and verified the facts. But perhaps you feel as if you need to check through your list before you take action? Have you locked the back door? Did you tidy that long-neglected cupboard? Have you stopped the papers and found someone to feed the cat? You sure don't want any last minute snags to slow you down. But there's only so much prep you can do... and it's easy to procrastinate. Take a deep breath, and go for it. It's time to reap the results of your efforts.

I'm reminded of that old song about a hole in a bucket. Henry moans to Liza that 'there's a hole in his bucket' and she tells him to fix it. Henry's completely fazed by the complexities of the problem, and verse after verse, Liza comes up with new solutions. Eventually, though, it turns out that he needs a bucket full of water to fix the problem with the bucket. Aargh! Although you're dealing with an irritating problem that seems surprisingly difficult to fix, you don't need to seek anyone's advice. You'll find the resources to sort it today.
