Dig deep for restraint now, Gemini. Mars stirs trouble, and letting emotions emerge and take control could be easy. But don't convince yourself that you deal with forces you can't control. Your first clues to hit the pause button and choose calmness rather than confrontation surround something not going to plan or if a conversation seems determined to become tense.

Fear could be at the root of difficulties connecting with a lover or someone you'd like to be closer to. The Moon illuminates vulnerability, pushing you to hide emotions. But that doesn't mean a deep, meaningful conversation isn't on offer. The Moon wants you to get real with somebody. Opening up is how they'll understand what you want and need romantically or intimately.

If you feel you deserve a holiday, don't hesitate, set out for a place preferably on your own. Take some extended walks and spend soothing nights in front of the fireplace with a book and a glass of red wine and find the peace you need. If you're unable to reschedule time off, start planning your break and enjoy the expectation.

If you plan to make some financial transactions, wait a little and think things over at your leisure. There are some obstacles in the way that prevent the matter being handled as smoothly as you imagined. Even though you'd like to buy something, far better to wait if you want a favourable outcome.
