You’re connected to the present moment, Gemini! You’re finding it easier to reflect on your gratitude as the Sun moves through Libra at the start of the month. Romance and creativity are in the air, and this is a fun time for dating, experimenting in your sex life, and pursing who and what lights up your heart! You might spend more time doing hobbies you enjoy or just feel like things in your life are aligning. It’s also possible you learn some lucky news over the next few weeks. Your day-to-day life just got busier thanks to Mercury moving into Scorpio on October 6. You might be busy juggling appointments, meetings, and managing your personal life in between. Setting boundaries and protecting your free time also becomes more important as you find a healthier work-life balance.
Also on October 6, a Full Moon in Aries brings attention to your friendships. You could attend a fun event, make a new friend, or experience a shift in an ongoing friendship. This will also bring attention to your lifelong dreams and could also coincide with lucky news, some form of support, or new opportunity that feels encouraging.
Romance and drama are also in the air! You’re feeling flirtier than normal once Venus moves into Libra on October 13. The next few weeks help you connect with your own pleasure and desire. Maybe you want to explore your sexuality in new ways or you’re feeling daring enough to post a sexy selfie or DM your crush. Couples can also reignite the spark. Personally, you’re ready to spend more of your time doing things you enjoy—whether that’s getting started on a personal project or goal, or returning to a hobby you enjoyed when you were younger. Let your inner child or inner teen call the shots!
Conversations feel raw and deep when Pluto goes direct in Aquarius, also on October 13. If there are certain topics you’ve avoided in the past that feel taboo, you’re ready to speak your truth, even if it makes someone else uncomfortable. This can help you call our unhealthy power dynamics and feel safe enough to be honest and vulnerable with the important people in your life. News you learn and conversation you have can also feel transformative, empowering, or healing. Try not to take on too much once Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow period on October 21. You’re starting to get clues about your upcoming Mercury retrograde story, and it will likely require you to set boundaries and release certain commitments or habits that are draining or that leave you feeling under appreciated.
A New Moon in Libra, also on October 21, brings exciting news your way. You could swipe on someone and feel an instant spark or maybe you’re picking up a hobby or focusing on a project that feels fulfilling in a fun way. It’s time to recommit to your joy! Inner child healing can also take place. When Neptune Retrograde re-enters Pisces on October 22, you’re facing illusions regarding your life path and direction. If you’ve been clinging to a specific outcome or vision for your future, it’s time to loosen your grip. The next few weeks help you find faith in the Universe’s timing and divine plan for you. You might also gain more attention for your compassion, intuition, or creativity. You’re gaining some long overdue thanks and recognition for a job well done once the Sun enters Scorpio, on the same day. You’re also more aware of how the tiny habits you keep either set you up for success or keep you stuck and stagnant. You’re ready to make small changes that will bring you closer to the future version of yourself!
The month wraps up with Mercury, the planet of communication, moving into Sagittarius on October 29. You’re ready to have some important conversations in your relationships. Maybe you’re ready to tell someone you love them or perhaps you’re ready to throw in the towel and call it quits. This can also offer up opportunities to engage in conflict resolution and repair. Your one-on-one connections become more important and you’re craving more time with besties, your chosen family, or even creative collaborators. New contracts and commitments might also be made over the coming weeks!
