Who says pen pals are just for kids? A faraway friend could become a trusted confidant and your letters a weekly highlight. If a child has second thoughts about a decision, give him or her room to change their mind and you’ll both be happier. News from a sibling calls for a midweek celebration. Bang goes that quiet night you’d planned when you two crack open the bubbly.

You’re famous for your quick wits but the week may start with that dreaded mental overload. All the planning, organising and remembering the tasks which keep a household running need to be shared, rather than just being down to you. Make yourself clear! The local grapevine is humming. Listen out for news of events or things for sale that will be just what you need.

You love connecting with people from different worlds and music is your short cut to that. Jam with musical friends more often, think about learning an instrument and check out pub gigs. Music being the food of love, you’re especially flirtatious now but  keep everything light. It’s good company, good conversation and an upbeat attitude you’re after, not the intense and moody.  

If you’re a typical Gemini, you love to gab but be careful what you say today. A secret or confidence can’t be shared unless you’re willing to pay the consequences. It’s not fair to the other person and won’t do you any favours. Joining in a protest is a massive adrenalin rush but it’s wise to skedaddle if things turn nasty. The letter S points you towards a cash win.

The people you love may need you to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. Just don’t get so caught up helping everyone else that you put your own plans on the back burner. With the Moon in your sign, talking about a project could be the push you need to actually do it. An off-the-cuff comment gives you a brilliant idea. There’s luck in double digits.

The Moon in your sign picks this out as one of your best days of the month. There are more than the average amount of struggles going on around you, but flit around the gloom and doom. A smile and helping hands go so much further to lighten the load and the mood. Whatever returns deserves a second look. Single? There’s more to someone new than meets the eye.

Whatever you start today will hold your focus for the next couple of months. It could be a new job, a gym membership or a volunteering role. You’re not always someone who finds it easy to concentrate, but that’s about to change. Hard work and commitment will pay off in the long run. A new pet’s a good move and could become your latest obsession.
