October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

This is a big month for self-development, Gemini, a time when you are walking your individual walk, and yet by that act you are led to examine and clarify your talk as well, and the collective impulse that engenders your expanding philosophy that yet does not correspond to consensus thinking. Your vision for your future has never been clearer or more urgent, although it is perhaps difficult at times to accept because uniquely yours. The strictures of society are very much with you these days, paradoxically both as exemplar and as something to resist. It�s a heady mix of energies that swirl about you now, and the only way through is to consult your innermost angel guides. They are subtly steering you in the direction that you have all along somehow known to be your own.

As the month begins, you are definitely feeling rather peppy. There is tremendous energy for self-expression blossoming within you since the New Moon of late September, stimulating you to more fully inhabit your own creativity. You are in the process of coming into yourself in a new way, and of completely redefining your vision for the future. There is a powerful journey ahead of you if you can get past the limitations of old outmoded habit patterns, the residue of past trauma, and let the cosmic principle of grace unfolding take its rightful place among the formative factors on your life. In this way you are transcending beyond logical thought forms and collective conditioning. The sky is literally your limit is you allow it to be so. Once you have consciously taken the plunge, you realize that you are in the midst of a spiritual transformation so profound as to represent the dawning of a new phase of your life � and of the life of the planet itself. The First Quarter Moon of Monday, October 3rd, could throw you a few curve balls that threaten to derail the arc of your progress but that after all do not prove to be anything that in the end you cannot handle. Difficulties might arise in implementing spontaneous course corrections or with regard to differing points of view on where life is at present leading you, but an open mind is helpful in resolving these issues. This is especially true when you can relax your thinking mind and simply rely on inner wisdom as your guide. You are possessed of a fount of intuitional wisdom right now that you would be hard-pressed to identify with as a source but which continues to surprise you with information that you didn�t even know you had. With the Full Moon of Tuesday, October 11th, an equilibrium is struck, so that while still enthusiastic about future chances, you are likely to temper your enthusiasm with a good dose of caution and grounded thinking. You are also seeking the balance point between group or societal goals and individual contribution, and between spiritual idealism and practical concerns. The Last Quarter Moon of Wednesday, October 19th, ushers in a period of reflection and thoughtful consideration of you are truly heading with your life. The events of the past three weeks that took place in such a rush of circumstance might need to be re-played in your mind to get the best idea of what was really going on in the moment, and for extracting from these events and their aftermath the lessons that are there for you and that can be helpful in gauging your future course of action if they can be carried forward. With the New Moon of the week following, taking place on Wednesday, October 26th, you are in a new ball game as far as your total thought process, with a more actively communicative approach that includes the agendas of others as well as yourself into an even bigger-picture viewpoint of your possibilities, and getting closer to understanding the complex reasons behind your coming into this life as well as the joy of just being here.
