Cupido is Gemini speeds things up after a slow burn in Taurus, but while it's active, it can be more mind-based in Gemini. We may think more about our crushes, and can become mentally enthralled. We may quickly form crushes, and have many of them all at once, though it may be two at a time that prevails since Gemini is the Twins.
Beyond crushes, we can also be more passionate about our ideas and plans, and we can throw ourselves into them. We can get wrapped up, and are extra passionate about our opinions, thoughts, and ideas. Communications can become more passionate as well, more heated, and we have to make sure it's flowing well. This is super strong when Cupido is conjunct (aligned with) transit (moving) Jupiter on September 18th 2024 at 20 degrees Gemini. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, so it expands on this energy. Since Jupiter is the happy planet, this can be beneficial, for the most part, if we don't let it spiral out of control. But Cupido retrogrades (appears to move backward) from October 31st 2024 to January 20th 2025, entirely in Gemini. This can be a period where we struggle with our crushes and what we're obsessed with, taking things too far, or not having enough passion to begin with. We have to work on mental blocks and work on talking things out. The start of the retrograde is square (challenging aspect) Neptune, while the end is square Saturn, with both in Pisces. Neptune is the foggy planet, so we may struggle with seeing things clearly and fully understanding what isn't working and needs to be fixed. Saturn is the teacher, so we may come out of the retrograde needing to learn important lessons with our passionate energy. The start occurs at 28 degrees 32 minutes Gemini, while the end occurs at 14 degrees 44 minutes Gemini. Cupido in Gemini only makes one other conjunction, and that's to fellow love asteroid Amor, the asteroid of romance. Cupido conjuncts Amor on November 30th 2024 at 24 degrees, with both asteroids retrograde. In fact, Amor turns retrograde just 2 days before Cupido does, and in Gemini (29 degrees). Romantic love and affection as well as crushes and infatuations can have some challenges to work through, and we likely need to approach them in a different way with both asteroids retrograde. We may also see a lot of people getting back together, especially reconnecting with people you went to school with or that were in your neighborhood (ruled by Gemini).
