Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Trust your intuition, Gemini, especially when it comes to your career. You know what you want, deep down in your soul. But you may not want to acknowledge it just yet. It often seems more difficult to go after your desires than to stick to the status quo.
Still, on August 1, the Pisces Moon encourages you to trust your gut instincts. If you get the sense that your current career no longer aligns with your dreams or long-term goals, start looking elsewhere. Trust that you have this feeling for a reason.
