You may have plenty of people fooled…but you can’t trick the cosmos. Although you’ve been playing it cool, flooding your social media feed with dozens of “positive” posts, things have been stressful. In fact, the past few weeks have felt like a total and complete nightmare. You’ve felt antsy, edgy, and—no matter how much water you drink—you’re thirsty AF. What’s the deal?

Don’t worry, Gemini. Your astrological diagnoses is pretty straightforward: Simply, your energy output to input ratio has been totally skewed. You’ve been giving way more than getting, which has left you feeling totally drained. Thankfully, the month kicks off with a Full Moon in Pisces on September 2, helping you identify exactly what’s been siphoning your vibes. With this clarity, you’ll feel inspired to fuse your internal and external and—guess what?—your mood will improve almost instantly. Yes, the truth isn’t always easy to acknowledge…but if you want to start enjoying these final days of summery, warm weather, you need to get real. Don’t be afraid!

Be sure to take advantage of the gentle cosmic motion in the first week of September because starting on September 9, Mars—the planet of action and determination—begins to slow down. That’s right, partner: Mars will be retrograde from September 9 through November 13, so get ready for lots of delays. For you, Mars will be hitting the brakes in the area of your chart associated with teamwork, collaboration, and community, which means you may end up feeling a bit disconnected from your peers. Do you feel unwelcome? During Mars Retrograde, it may be hard to differentiate paranoia from intuition. Have your friends suddenly…become your foes? No matter what’s going on in your extended friend group, avoid jumping to conclusions. During its retrograde, Mars is not functioning normally, and likewise, you’re not thinking clearly. Try being more reactive than proactive. Even a slight shift in your POV may radically transform your vision. This is an excellent time to look at an old problem from a new perspective.

This year, you’ve spent more time at home than ever before and—let’s be honest—it’s totally killed your vibe. But during the New Moon in Virgo on September 17, you begin to realize that you actually appreciate the safe tranquility of your pad. In fact, all the drama has made you want to return to your nest—after all, it’s much easier to relax on the couch with a pint of ice cream than to try to navigate complex social dynamics!

Under this velvety sky, don’t be afraid to switch your phone into airplane mode. You’ll appreciate a moment of peace and quiet, especially because—only a few days later on September 22—the Sun’s movement into Libra (a like-minded air sign) signals a new astrological season. Libra energy activates the area of your chart linked to fun, creativity, and—most importantly—flirtation. By the end of the month, you may find yourself hot-and-heavy in a wild, passionate love affair. Single? Don’t be afraid to dive head-first into the dating pool! So long as you’re keeping it #2020Safe, there’s no reason you can’t use your dynamic Gemini sensibilities to sprinkle some pleasure into your life. Have fun!
