October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 - June 20)
Mutable Air. Your ruling planet is Mercury.

You are going through some fundamental changes at this time, Gemini. You will find, as you do, that your service orientation takes you far. You are exploring new ways of being in the world and seeking your dharma – that essential purpose that underlies all your actions, and that you came into this lifetime to fulfill. Near the very end of the month, your ruler Mercury retrogrades, lasting through November. After the New Moon of October 21st, you will increasingly find yourself in a space of reflection rather than direct action, meditating on where your life is currently taking you. The winds of change that seem to be blowing you around aimlessly may actually be taking you ever closer to your true destination.

As the month begins, you are likely in a really good frame of mind, feeling blessed by the nature of the events and energies coming your way lately. You are somewhat focused these days on your communicative outreach, and the effect that others have on you, and on the creative thrust that such multivalent contact and inner contemplation can generate. Something is transforming around the idea of how you relate to your life partners, ratcheting up yet another notch in the course of this monthly cycle. The Full Moon that comes along on Friday October 6th emphasizes these concerns and your process of equilibrium. You are drawing closer to a different and fuller understanding of the role that significant others play in your life, and seeking a balance between willful and service-oriented behavior, and between hiding out in your own inner world versus making yourself more concretely available to society around you. The Last Quarter Moon of Friday the 13th may give you pause, coming as it does in the form of a crisis of awareness of the various tides that surge around and through you at this time, and the tantalizing possibility of resolution. Toward the end of the month, from the time of the New Moon of the 21st onwards, you are increasingly blessed. You are pulled to the inside of your mind, reflecting on how to be of true service in this world, and doing some deep self-analysis in the course of thinking things through. Right at the very end of the month, your clock is running backwards and you may revisit in flashback recent events that have lead you up to this precise moment in time with wonder or renewed hope for the future. You can never step into the same river twice but the reflections when you try can be entirely illuminating.
