Gemini Monthly Horoscope

Don’t be afraid of the dark though, Gemini! On September 1, Pluto (retrograde since May 2) reverses out of Aquarius and back into Capricorn. After a short visit to your visionary ninth house, Pluto makes one last lap through your intimate, psychologically intricate eighth house. You may see a few (at first) unsavory things about yourself and others or grapple with some of your own heavier emotions. This cycle could also reveal hidden power dynamics with your closest ties. While the highs and lows can feel overwhelming at times, you’ll grow exponentially by exploring this “buried treasure” and NOT sweeping it aside. 

Pluto first commenced its two-decade voyage through Aquarius in March 2023, entering the sign of the Water Bearer for the first time since 1798. It offered a sneak peak of what a more authentic and fulfilling future could hold—one that earnestly begins in late 2024. Powerful Pluto then darted back and forth between pragmatic Capricorn and progressive Aquarius throughout the rest of 2023 and 2024, leaving the world torn between past traditions and future ideals. 

Pluto stays in Capricorn until November 19, before officially moving forward into Aquarius for an uninterrupted 20-year run. (Yes, really!) Until then, you’ll be working through eighth-house themes, which include issues of power and control around emotions, money, sex and shared resources. No lighthearted topics there!

If jealousy arises or a person triggers you—likely occurrences during this Pluto phase—try to see them as a messenger or a mirror. How is this person reflecting some part of YOUR life that's out of alignment? The people who get under your skin could spotlight areas where you need to make a major change or set firmer boundaries. Even the most rock-solid relationships will benefit from cleaning up their edges while Pluto makes its last run through Capricorn. Use this retrograde to address simmering resentments and fortify your bonds. 

Deal with everything at a root level instead of tidying up the surface, and your life will slowly but certainly transform—especially with the annual Virgo new moon happening during Pluto’s reversal into Capricorn on September 2. Your family (chosen or otherwise) and emotional foundations get a heart-opening refresh—with the help of some much-needed clarification. If you need help finding the right words, consider cracking open the book Drama Free (by bestselling author and boundary expert Nedra Tawwab) and let the dialogue flow.
