This Week Will Activate Your Inner Social Butterfly, Astrologers Say

Gemini season kicks off this week—in the midst of a Mercury retrograde. Here's how to navigate the buzzy and sometimes befuddling energy, according to the AstroTwins.

In Scorpio, it's certain to stir up all sorts of esoteric intensity that could take weeks to parse through. Some of these intriguing developments could arouse your erotic impulses or inspire you to do things that help you feel a lot more comfortable (and seductive!) in your own skin. But in order to achieve that, you might also need to be a bit more discerning about who and what you get involved with. Hold out for the best, even if that means exerting willpower you didn't even know you could muster.

As they meet up at the same degree of Pisces for a totally awkward dance, it's hard to tell an oasis from a mirage. That's a good reason to hold off on making any binding decisions, especially if fear or FOMO kicks in. Wait a few days until the fog of Neptune burns off—no matter how impatient Mars is making you feel! What this every-other-year transit is good for? Getting in touch with the "peaceful warrior" inside you. Mars is a planet of action, while Neptune rules compassion: How can you stand up for what you believe in while turning enemies into friends? This daunting task is worth taking on!

But that's not to say three, four, or five is a crowd! This buzzy solar season turns us all into social butterflies, fluttering from one entourage to another.
