CAN'T QUIT THIS Mars in Gemini tends to chase after the next bright shiny object. Whatever piques its interest goes to the top of the "must have" list. However Mars is more casual than ambitious when it's in the sign of the Twins, so there's no great need to accomplish what it has [...]
TAKE OFF THE ROSE-COLORED GLASSES You might want to check to make sure you and the other party are on the same page. Venus/Neptune oppositions – like the one on September 24th – are famous for leading people astray.
