Gemini

Things may be going on behind the scenes, and it will take your super sleuthing powers to bring everything out into the open on Tuesday, September 18. This day marks 2018’s third and final epic square between pushy Mars in your limitless ninth house and wild card Uranus in your subconscious sector, during which someone may try to pull a fast one. The previous two clashes were on May 16 and August 2—that second time, Mars was retrograde, and this time around, Uranus is the one in reverse, so all bets are off. You need to be on your toes so you don’t fall for someone’s (convincing) hard-luck story or get hustled into doing something you’re not comfortable with. It could be as simple as a coworker finagling to get out of a task—or a slick salesperson trying to sell you a bill of goods. Chances are they’ve got a good story, so keep your BS antennae up! Of course, if a friend or close colleague actually needs your help, be discerning and don’t ignore a real cry for support simply because you’re on high alert. Since Mars is in your travel zone and Uranus is the disruptor of the zodiac, their face-off could throw a wrench into a holiday plan. Check your reservations and follow up with anything that isn’t nailed down. The best way to stay safe under this cosmic conflict is to assume nothing and double-check everything!
