Gemini Weekly Horoscope

Your open-minded nature will come in handy this Thursday, April 24, when amenable Venus meets steadfast Saturn in your career corner. The only thing standing between you and a potentially epic deal is the willingness to concede a few small points during the negotiations. Sounds simple, but check in with yourself, Gem: Where are you clinging to an etched-in-stone vision of your desired outcome? Rigidity will get you nowhere fast. This isn’t a “life or death” battle or test of whether you can stand your ground. Even if you’ve exhaustively researched the whole situation, trust that in mediations, everyone has to give up a couple things to find that happy medium that will please all the parties. Focus on what you stand to gain—a plum new position, higher paycheck, the opportunity to work creatively and independently—instead of the trifles you’re ceding. If keeping a truly open mind is too much to ask, start with open EARS. For all you know, in your fierce resistance, you may have missed a critical point in the other person’s offer, which could be the key to striking a deal. Since the Venus-Saturn conjunction is happening in your professional tenth house zone, you also have a chance to balance the creative with the functional, with Venus supplying the artistry and Saturn providing the reality checks. Profitable ideas could emerge this week if you fully engage both hemispheres of your brain.
