You are in a spiritual mood right now, perhaps even feeling world weary. Taking a break from the strife around you would be healthy and wise. A trip may be in order, perhaps in the company of a parent or mentor. Look inward and examine your own religious views right now. Now is the time to pay attention to your priorities and goals, to think everything through before you act. Introspection should not be mistaken for dejection. Acting quickly is not always wise. Look at your own strengths and talents and start preparing for the future. <em>Haste makes waste.</em>

Riddle of the weekend: How can you honor your ideals while also being open to new perspectives? As unbridled Mars in your curious third house opposes transformational Pluto in your expansive ninth house this Saturday, you're encouraged to open your mind to other viewpoints—if only to understand how “the other side” thinks. Explore the options before rejecting them, Gemini. If you're motivated to make some changes, don't do anything drastic until you've investigated all angles. Warning: Tension can ratchet up under these feisty skies. Careful not to speak in anger or serve cutting critiques. On Sunday, you can finally downshift from rushing around at breakneck speed. The potent new supermoon in Taurus is like a gift from the heavens. Because it lands in your twelfth house of rest and healing, you’re practically forced to slow down—and calm down! New moons herald fresh starts and since the twelfth house rules completions, this signals that as you close one door, others will swing wide open. Even if it’s painful to let something (or someone) go, trust that this is the beginning of something truly special.
