If you’re a fan of all things spiritual, angel numbers, tarot cards, or perhaps you simply can’t resist checking your horoscope weekly to see what the future holds, we’ve got something extra special to tickle your spiritual style buds. Astrologer Bex Milford (@cosmic_cures) has given us her expert insight into what your star sign should be wearing with a personal ‘Astro-style-scope’ and its currently Gemini season (20th May – 20th June).
Bex reveals, ” We enter Gemini season with a sense of optimistic rejuvenation. It’s a time to embrace bright and breezy conversations, pack your dancing shoes in your day bag in case plans take a turn for the glitzier, and allow yourself to be distracted by the glinting allure of whatever makes you curious. During Gemini season we’re social butterflies, information magpies, and incorrigible flirts.
Gemini is a mutable sign, meaning it is the bridge between seasons, arriving directly as we segue from a rather damp spring into a hopefully sun-soaked summer. For this reason, thoughts start turning towards printed pastel blouses and dreamy dresses in the must-have colour of the moment. Summer fashion trends such as ‘Cowboy Core’ and ‘Utility-Chic’ are on our radar, and the pavement is your catwalk!
Both Venus and Jupiter are set to move into Gemini around the 23rd and 25th May, making it a perfect time for socialising. Venus, the planet of love, pleasure and style, coupled with jubilant Jupiter, which boosts our desire to relax and enjoy ourselves, makes this an ideal time for flirting, dating or throwing a party.
As we approach the end of May, messenger planet Mercury will meet up with Uranus, the planet of rebellion, innovation and eccentricity. They’ll be joining forces in Taurus, the sign associated with material comforts and the finer things in life. This is your chance to do things a little differently, so why not channel the confidence of Joe Lycett at the Brits and wear your most unique, lavish outfit?
As we enter June, the first ‘Cosmic Kiss’ of the season occurs when Venus cuddles up to the Sun on the 1st. This is the perfect time to schedule a romantic date, go shopping with friends or invest time in your artistic pursuits. Then on 16th June, Mercury and Venus will smooch together, making this the time to send a love letter, lavish sweet-nothings on your partner, take a leap of faith and tell someone you’re keen, or look out for romantic encounters in local coffee shops. Dress for the part you want in the Rom-Com of your life! The New Moon in Gemini on 6th June is a fantastic opportunity to start a fresh chapter. Gemini, associated with the written word, communication and our life’s narrative arc, allows us to utilise this lunar phase to initiate a new storyline. What has outlived its usefulness in your life? How will you approach this blank slate and set things in motion?
Additionally, the New Moon aligns with Venus – perfect for kick-starting relationships, artistic pursuits and even financial growth – after all, Venus governs money! So, if self-investment is on your mind, this New Moon is the time to do it.On 14th June, the First Quarter Moon in orderly, clutter-free Virgo makes this an ideal day for a wardrobe spring clean and determining what you no longer require. Organise a clothes swap, visit the charity shop or start selling online – embrace the cleansing energy and you’ll feel fantastic.
Then, on 17th June, Venus transitions from the sign of the chatty twins into the sensitive and nurturing waters of Cancer. Here, the planet of love, pleasure and style fills us with a longing for a more relaxed pace of life. Home time, family gatherings, investing in flowers and candles for the bedroom, and flexing our domestic goddess muscles with some baking become the pinnacle of enjoyment.”
