October is a month that tells you, "turn back to yourself and notice what you truly want," Gemini. This month the energy comes straight onto you, your personality and your new beginnings. You may feel a little more visible, a little more out front. But at the same time there's a quiet review going on inside; especially in your love life, the question "what and who do I actually, truly want?" will be turning over in your mind.
This month will pass a little slowly and a little inwardly. Life is telling you, "don't rush, make peace with the past, then move forward." An old matter, an old person, or a feeling you've been putting off for a while may come back onto your radar. Think of this not as a step backward, but as a clearing-out. Rather than leaping ahead without clarity, if you first clear up your inner world, you'll take much firmer steps toward the end of the month.
Love and relationships: Your love life is going through a sensitive, emotional stretch this month. From the start of the month a review begins in your relationships; an old love, an unresolved matter, or an issue you haven't been able to talk about for a while may come back into view. For those in a relationship, this is a chance to work through problems and reach firmer ground; but it's not a month suited to hasty decisions and big arguments. If you're single, someone from the past may knock on your door; before going back, remember why you parted. For now, listen to your heart but wait a little before making any firm promises.
Career and money: At work you'll feel more energetic and outgoing this month; people are noticing you. It's a productive stretch for generating ideas, writing, giving presentations and making new connections. However, starting from the last week of the month there may be mix-ups in communication, so read contracts twice, write emails carefully, and be patient in important conversations. It's a stretch open to misunderstandings, so keep everything clear and in writing. If possible, it's wiser to postpone big spending and new agreements until mid-November; this month is more a time for regrouping and planning.
Health and energy: Your mind is working hard this month, so most of your tiredness may actually come from the thoughts in your head. Your nervous system and your breathing are your sensitive spots; when you're tense, that's where you feel it most. Don't neglect deep breaths, short walks in fresh air, and setting your phone aside to rest. Don't overwork your arms and shoulders either. After the last week of the month, pay a little more attention to colds and your respiratory system. Calm moments that clear your mind will feel like medicine to you this month.
Key dates: October 3 - a review begins in love and relationships, old matters may come up; stay calm. October 23 - your energy shifts and you enter a deeper, more inward stretch; take care of your health and your routine. October 24 - after this date be careful in communication; don't rush important decisions and conversations. All month long, facing and making peace with the past is at the forefront.
Advice of the month: This month is telling you not to "decide right now" but to "listen to yourself first," Gemini. Make peace with the past, clear up your inner world; the right answers will come on their own when you don't rush.
