October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

You are emerging into a time of big doings, Gemini. Both your public and your private life present you with hard work right now but for an important purpose if you have the faith to see it through. You might feel stuck in some way with home and family concerns, but there are important lessons to be learned there as well as you sort things out. Patterns are changing in important ways and you do well right now to go with the flow rather than trying to resist. Something old and something blue may yet remain, but likely also to be transformed utterly in the light of a new dawn.

As the month begins, you are finding your way through the residue of issues that were raised at the time following the most recent New Moon, during the last two weeks of September. This could easily involve dealing with polarities continue to arise concerning the dichotomy between public and private in your life. In the public sphere you are innovative, even restless, and eager to move past previous limitations. Yet something holds you back. You've been feeling stuck perhaps, certainly conflicted, with home and family concerns or your own issues of internal security very important to you right now. These might be holding you locked into a pattern that you might be unable for the moment to transcend. There is a sense of movement but also inhibition from movement. With the Full Moon that comes along on Saturday evening, October 3rd, a point of balance is reached. You are beginning to break through, to leap creatively between the horns of your dilemma. At this time, Spirit is key. You are very idealistic at this time, allowing you to escape at least mentally from the exigencies of practical reality. Film or travel is one way that you might choose to break the barriers of your caged condition. This permits you incorporate other points of view, allowing for a third possibility. With the Last Quarter Moon of Sunday, October 11th, you are looking for the consciousness to achieve your objective with a minimum of trauma. The accumulated wisdom of the past three weeks will be your guide. The New Moon of Saturday evening, October 17th, provides fresh energy and new perspectives of where you might ultimately be headed. You are expressively creative, even artistically, creative at this time and making many a communication breakthrough with others around you. This is a time of innovation that trumps being stuck and rigid. Possibilities continue to unfold for you right now, to the extent that you can open your mind and your heart to them. A complex integration is taking place within you. Over the last two weeks of the month these ideas will play themselves out and lead you to the overwhelming question of your own ongoing transformation, whereby you must leave behind all that doesn't serve you. It's a question of integration, and of balance, a trust fall with your eyes open as you yield to the grace of the surrounding cosmos. The universe supplies the answers that you need, just when you need them.
