Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Don’t be surprised if you have a sudden urge to ditch Friday night’s post-work festivities for a low-key night at home.

Give it a week and you’ll be swapping out your go-to bodycon dress for an apron as you practice whipping up some of your great grammie’s recipes in the kitchen. Be forewarned: Having an itch to redecorate and host weekly dinner parties could very well be in your near future.

Write this down, repeat it and make it your mantra for September.
