Friendships and group dynamics are spotlighted. If there's been a rift or unspoken tension with a friend or within a group, this is your chance to smooth things over. Your gift now is connection, whether chatting, inspiring or delighting others. As Venus and Mars forge a therapeutic angle, it's worth starting a conversation that could lead to better times ahead, Gemini.

A desire to experience a different side of life could find you eager to engage with your community and explore ideas or projects that fascinate you. You may be drawn to someone with an interesting story to share or whose actions regarding a local issue have led to a breakthrough. Someone you meet and bond with could change your life for the better.

If you're struggling to stick with something that's good for you, it may be because you're focusing more on the process than the benefits. It doesn't need to be ambitious - learning a small skill or taking steady steps towards a goal could be enough. Making a pledge and keeping it, regardless of mood, could soon lead to valuable improvements.

Work and life pressures can build up this month, but if you tune into your instincts, the Lunar Eclipse and its co-pilot the Point of Destiny, and their link to the planet of fortune, Jupiter, in your sector of everyday finances, you could still see a breakthrough. Yet with your guide planet busy at the base of your solar chart, home, family and domestic arrangements can also call out for your attention. Venus's gorgeous link to Mars midmonth can however, bring a more playful, even flirter dimension to bear, one which will be more to the fore from the Autumnal Equinox. Yet resist the desire to be too forceful in the last week.
