Gemini, October 2017

Lots of drama this month, Gemini, just how you like it!

Welcome to Libra season! A full moon in fiery Aries arrives October 5, marking the culmination of a creative project. It also brings a shift in your social and love life—expect drama with your friends and news about a crush! Full moons are exciting, but they're also emotional and exhausting, so as much as you love to multitask, Gemini, don't overbook yourself.

The Sun meets your planetary ruler, Mercury, on October 8, and they clash with Pluto on October 9. Watch for egos and power struggles. People will say whatever they want to get their way. Little do they know, you can't bullshit a bullshitter, and you, dear twins, are the queen and king of bullshitting! That said, this is a powerful time to get to know someone intimately—as long as all parties are confident, open to transformation, and, for sure, fearless.

Mercury makes a supportive connection with Saturn, the planet of structure, on October 12, creating a helpful atmosphere, facilitating conversations about commitment, and grounding you. The connection between these two planets will keep you clear-headed regarding relationship issues. This is also a good time to connect with a mentor, or reach out to someone you admire.

Jupiter enters Scorpio on October 10, marking the beginning of a yearlong journey. You'll reimagine your schedule, you daily routines, and your habits. Scorpio is the sign of transformation, so this next year, when lucky planet Jupiter moves through this Water sign, will focus on your health and wellness. You'll also hammer out a work schedule that is more beneficial and productive. If you're looking for more work, this will certainly bring opportunities.

News of these themes arrives when Mercury enters Scorpio, on October 17, and meets Jupiter on October 18. Scorpio, like you, is perceptive, so having your ruling planet, Mercury, in this sign will boost your intuitive powers. Scorpio season will officially kick off October 23, firmly focusing you on your responsibilities. Don't worry, Gemini, plenty of fun is still to come.

Venus enters Libra on October 14, soon followed by Mars on October 22, bringing fun, flirtation, and creative inspiration! Venus loves to be in charming Libra—it's so romantic! Even if you're not in the mood for love, make art and spend time with people you care about. Plenty of invitations to party will come your way. Mars, the planet of war, isn't so comfortable in gentle Libra, but you'll live. On the plus side, energetic Mars will give you energy and stamina—and help you enjoy yourself. A fresh start to these themes (love, art, partying) arrives during the new moon, in Libra, on October 19.

Expect drama when Mercury opposes Uranus, on October 15, and when the Sun takes its turn, doing the same, on October 19. Unexpected, shocking news will arrive. But you hate being bored, so I'm tempted to suggest that you mark these dates as positive in your calendar, rather than stressful. You don't mind shake-ups; you work well during times of change. You also need your freedom—and that's precisely why all this drama will go down anyway. Your need for independence and nonconformity will result in big shifts.

Your planetary ruler, Mercury, connects with dreamy Neptune on October 24. Mercury is a logical energy; Neptune is not. It's time for poetry, not fact sheets. Your psychic abilities will heighten, so pay attention to your inner voice. Easy energy flows toward your work and your reputation, and this energy can help you network—especially if someone owes you a favor. Scorpio season is all about debts being repaid!

Mercury makes a harmonious connection with Pluto on October 27—again, a fantastic time to ask for a favor, especially from someone who has exclusive, VIP access to whatever you're after, whether that's cash or information. Are you good at keeping secrets, Gemini? Well, I have a secret for you: The better you are at keeping them, the more you will hear. Reflect on that at the end of this month! See you in November!
