MARS IN GEMINI: AUGUST 26-OCT 20 — Sharp Minds   Mars moves into Gemini on August 26th   and will and will stay there for about two months until Oct. 20th.    Mars in Gemini is in an enemy’s sign when verbal fighting can break out so push that need to debate and go right to

THE SUN and LEO: August 17-Sept. 16th: The Complexity of Leadership, Ego and Independence.
