Competition at work may be weighing on you. Take a break to do something else, to attend to your health or engage in charity work. Quiet and rest are the order of the day. Think through all major decisions in order to avoid debts or future obstacles. Home and family matter most right now. It's a time to emotional connection and tenderness. Soothe your worries by sharing household tasks. Reaching out is the goal, in person or via the phone and even social media. You might want to impress people with your creative flare today. All to the good, if not carried to excess.

You’ll be anything but checked out this weekend, Gemini. With the responsive moon and driven Mars colluding in your Leo and your third house of communication and local action, your curiosity is fully piqued. You’re intent on chasing after any person, place or thing that captures your fancy. Cruise through your weekend to-do list so you have sufficient time to go where the wind takes you. Set aside time to devour that book or podcast you haven’t had time to enjoy during the workweek. Sunday’s Leo quarter moon invites you to check out the happenings in your own ZIP-code. If there aren’t existing venues and activities that light your fire, pick up the organizer’s baton yourself. Hometown friends and neighbors will enjoy getting involved in Meetup groups, book clubs, film nights; maybe they’ll audition for your band. Bonus: you could discover kindred spirits living within a five-mile radius. Also on Sunday, deep-diving Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius and your worldly ninth house until October 13. Take a step back before you book that three-month stint abroad or apply to grad school. A little upfront soul-searching will go far. All the more reason to spice things up in your own backyard!
