Gemini: Forecast for October 2001

(NOTE: if you know your rising sign, read that sign too, for a balanced forecast. Go to Forecasts)

Hearts and Flowers

Until October 23rd, the Sun lights up your fifth house of love and creativity. Mercury and Venus combine to increase harmony in personal relationships, so take advantage of this time frame. The Full Moon on October 2nd may be the most romantic of the year, so be ready for action. By expressing yourself honestly, you should be able to achieve your heart's desire. After the 23rd, the Sun enters Scorpio and your sixth house of health and service to others. Many of you will want to improve your appearance during the last few days of October. It is possible to begin a physical transformation while the power of Pluto energizes your mind and body. Plan a strategy and focus on your goals for self-improvement from the 24th through 30th.

Mercury Retrograde

Swift Mercury, your life-ruler, turns retrograde in your fifth house of romance and creativity on October 1st, frustrating some of your creative efforts. Children may also be having difficulties at this time, so pay attention to the young people in your life. Once Mercury turns direct again on October 23rd, any miscommunication or confusion should be cleared up. This is good news for those of you involved in creative projects; Mercury will act as a muse and help get ideas flowing. Children are often the best teachers we can have, so be open to what they can show you. Romance is also aided by this transit, so take the opportunity to express your affection to someone special. It is a good time in general to say I love you, so don't let the chance pass you by. Read more on Mercury Retrograde!

Sweet Tongue

Lovely Venus transits your fourth house of home and family this month until October 15th, encouraging you to spend a little more time at home. It is time to do a little redecorating, or at least some spring cleaning! Once you have your environment spruced up, entertaining at home should be very pleasurable. No matter where you live, your home will be especially inviting. Family relationships should also improve during this time. You have a chance to mend fences and strengthen ties, so don't let it pass you by. After October 15th, the planet of love enters your fifth house of pleasure and romance... single Twins should make plenty of time for meeting new playmates while those who are attached should plan a romantic weekend at a Bed and Breakfast Inn. Let the inner child in you come out to play!

Big Changes

While Mars remains in your seventh house of partnerships until the 17th, changes in your life brought about by close relationships are under way. These changes may not be evident until Neptune and Uranus move forward in your ninth house of travel and adventure on the 17th and 30th, respectively. Plans for travel, higher education, and even a move to a distant location move forward again; many of you will begin an adventure that will change your life. This may be in connection with business, as Mars continue to transit your eighth house of money and power through October 27th. Your life is changing for better or for worse, and the best thing you can do at the moment is remain flexible!

DAILY FORECASTS

Oct 1: Backwards Tango

Your ruler does the backwards tango in your fifth house of romance for the next three weeks, urging you to pay more attention to your children and to get in touch with your own inner child. While typically a time of frustration, Mercury Retrograde periods can also be opportunities to reflect and analyse current situations. Take a deep breath and use this to your advantage! Fortunate colours are pale gold and royal purple. Lucky numbers are 5 and 10. Read more on Mercury Retrograde.

Oct 2: Full Moon

Your friends and associates might seem moonstruck as the Full Moon activates your eleventh house; love and romance is a distinct possibility. Twins with children should keep a close eye on them as they are more likely to need your attention now... as much as you would like to play, it seems you have been assigned the role of mature adult today! Favourable colours are electric blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 11 and 21.

Oct 3: Lively Times

This is a wonderful day for a midweek break so why not meet your friends for lunch? So often we take friends for granted and before you know it, so much time has gone by that we feel awkward making the call. Go ahead and reach out to your friends and let them know how much you really do appreciate them. Beneficial colours are bright orange and hot pink. Lucky numbers are 15 and 22.

Oct 4: Slow Down

Slow down as the changing Moon enters sensual Taurus and your twelfth house of secrets and solitude, marking the beginning of your lunar low cycle. This is the perfect time to leave work early and see a movie... a little escape never hurt anyone. Recharge your spiritual batteries by spending time doing what you want to do! Auspicious colours are midnight blue and sunset pink. Lucky numbers are 3 and 21.

Oct 5: Inner Voice

The Moon travels through Taurus and your twelfth house of secrets today, urging you to slow down and listen to your inner voice. It may be hard to get started today, so pace yourself wisely. Those of you who work in a busy atmosphere should take time out for a quiet lunch, which will give you a chance to catch your breath and your equilibrium. Favourable colours are lavender and silver. Lucky numbers are 12 and 30.

Oct 6: Personal Comforts

It's the weekend after all, so take this opportunity to recharge your spiritual batteries. If you remember any dreams you had last night, write them down and try to decipher what they mean. Find a way to bring freshness and light into your life, which can be as simple as opening the windows and bringing fresh flowers into your home. Indulge in personal comforts today. Fortunate colours are aqua and coral. Lucky numbers are 21 and 33.

Oct 7: Sparkle

Today's Moon is in Gemini and your first house of personality, helping lively Twins to sparkle. You'll be ready to face the world again, so welcome fresh challenges and new faces. You are especially charming and magnetic today, so don't hesitate to ask for what you want. An intense encounter with someone will have an impression on you for better or for worse. Advantageous colours are pearl and crimson. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.

Oct 8: Your Way

Everything continues to go your way as the Moon sails through Gemini. If you find you have excess energy, get out for a brisk walk or a bike ride this afternoon. Your creative abilities are strong now, so try to channel them into your work. Spending time with friends and family can be rewarding, so make time for your personal relationships. Auspicious colours are brick red and pure white. Lucky numbers are 19 and 28.

Oct 9: Virtues And Values

The Twins are surprisingly conservative, and you're reminded of this as the Moon moves through Cancer and your second house of personal finances and values. You may be tempted to spend money on family during this time frame, so why not do some holiday shopping this evening? It is always good to get started early. Beneficial colours are desert sand and sage green. Lucky numbers are 2 and 20.

Oct 10: Productive Twins

Today is a wonderful day to spend with family, especially if you have a common goal in mind. Get together and paint the house, work on a child's science project, or any team activity. Being productive is good for your soul, so don't spend the day in front of the television! If the weather is fine, find a project you can do outdoors. Get busy! Advantageous colours are terra cotta and fern green. Lucky numbers are 11 and 24.

Oct 11: Resourceful Twins

This is a good time to manage your resources. You have a busy week coming up, so the more you can do today, the better! You may have some ideas for a home-based business or a way to earn extra money. Research your ideas carefully to guard against mistakes. Later tonight, you might want to make some phone calls or catch up on e-mail when the Moon enters Leo. Fortunate colours are pale green and yellow. Lucky numbers are 5 and 10.

Oct 12: Traffic Jams

The pace of life picks up as the Moon passes through Leo and your third house of communications. Traffic jams are likely this morning and this afternoon as many are confused and distracted, causing minor accidents and big delays. If it seems like you will never get your work done today, don't worry. You'll have plenty of time to catch up later this week. Auspicious colours are sky blue and butter yellow. Lucky numbers are 14 and 23.

Oct 13: Relax And Rewind

Today should be less hectic than yesterday, allowing you to focus on the task on hand. There are errands to run, phone calls to make, and e- mail to answer, but you should be able to multi-task effectively. By this evening, you'll be ready to curl up in bed with a good book and a glass of wine to help you escape the pressures of the day. Take a few deep breaths and relax. Beneficial colours are oyster and sea green. Lucky numbers are 20 and 29.

Oct 14: Sleep Late

With the Moon transiting Virgo and your fourth house of home and family, you might not feel like getting out of bed this morning. Sleep late if you can; you might even want to take a mental health day if you don't feel you can be very productive. Pace yourself today, allowing for frequent breaks and rest periods. Everyone needs to slow down once in a while, even you. Auspicious colours are silver and pearl white. Lucky numbers are 11 and 24.

Oct 15: Fun And Games

If you plan to relax and have fun today, you're practically guaranteed an afternoon of bliss. There'll be plenty of time to get back to business tomorrow, so allow yourself to indulge in pleasure today. Do whatever it is that renews your spirit and helps you to express your creativity. By all means, don't sit inside in front of a television screen or computer monitor. Do whatever you did for fun before you became an adult! Beneficial colours are royal purple and sage green. Lucky numbers are 33 and 28.

Oct 16: New Moon

The New Moon activates your fifth house of romance and creativity, making this a perfect time to play. Most Geminians never lose their sense of wonder, but if you have, it is time to get back in touch with that mercurial inner child. All work and no play is lethal for the twins, so plan to have a sybaritic, not-a-care-in-the-world kind of day. Fortunate colours are gold and ruby red. Lucky numbers are 10 and 16.

Oct 17: Healthy Habits

The Moon moves through Scorpio and your sixth house of health and service today, urging you to put away your toys and clean up. If you have been eating too much junk, today is the day to detoxify your body. Eat only fresh, healthy foods and drink plenty of water; you might even consider going on a juice fast if your health will allow it. Auspicious colours are navy blue and cream. Lucky numbers are 41 and 44.

Oct 18: Off To Work

It's off to work you go, whether you commute to an office or telecommute from home. It's important to start the day off right, so try taking a brisk walk before breakfast. You'll need all the energy you can get, so you can focus on the tasks at hand. Some may be in a fog left over from last night's dreams... remember that dreams are the language of the sleeping mind. What are yours saying? Favourable colours are forest green and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 19 and 26.

Oct 19: Partners

You can't run and you can't hide from your partner or room mate today; the Moon enters Sagittarius and your seventh house, placing the emphasis on marriage and partnerships. With Pluto transiting this same house for the next decade or so, you'll be faced with relationship issues on a regular basis. Today's topic of contention may well be Whose Job Is It To Do What Around The House. Beneficial colours are rose pink and spring green. Lucky numbers are 7 and 16.

Oct 20: Critical Mass

The Moon and Pluto collide today, bringing certain relationship matters to a head. Unless you have Scorpio Rising, most Twins will find today's events strenuous and somewhat distasteful. Intensity is not your favorite entree, especially when it is served by an emotional partner. Could it be that your actions or perhaps lack of action has brought this firestorm on? Fortunate colours are soft coral and pale aqua. Lucky numbers are 25 and 34.

Oct 21: On Edge

The Moon enters Capricorn and your eighth house of sex, power and money today, making you a bit edgy. Many of you will want to go out on the prowl this evening; just be reasonable and don't get into any trouble. Business opportunities or responsibilities may present themselves just as you are heading out the door... it might be worth it to stay an extra hour to tie up loose ends. Beneficial colours are wine and ebony. Lucky numbers are 26 and 35.

Oct 22: Fears Unfounded

Your dreams may reflect your fears about money, power, and sexuality as the Moon stimulates Mars in your eighth house. Take this opportunity to analyse the clues your subconscious mind is sending you. On the surface, most dreams make precious little sense. Break down the symbols and you will soon find the answers to many problems in your life. Auspicious colours are cinnamon brown and deep purple. Lucky numbers are 9 and 18.

Oct 23: Sensual Twins

The Sun enters sensual Scorpio, making you desire pleasure at almost any cost. It may be easy to go overboard today, especially if you have been denying yourself lately. Those of you in loving, committed relationships can use this energy in a positive way by releasing sexual energy together. Plan a romantic day followed by and even more romantic evening! Advantageous colours are navy blue and ivory. Lucky numbers are 1 and 6.

Oct 24: Future

The Moon enters Aquarius and joins Neptune in your ninth house of travel and adventure, stimulating your intellect and urging you to dream about the future. It may be hard to stay on track today as daydreams dominate; give yourself frequent breaks in routine so you can capitalize on your creative energy. Fortunate colours are olive green and khaki. Lucky numbers are 12 and 30.

Oct 25: Be Consistent

You and a co-worker may not see eye to eye on some matter today; there's someone working against you behind the scenes. You may be your own worst enemy by being flighty today, so try to be as consistent and reliable as possible. This may be a very tense day, but you can get a lot accomplished if you put your mind to it. Favourable colours are deep maroon and coffee brown. Lucky numbers are 9 and 30.

Oct 26: Public Persona

Your ideas will go down well with the public today, as the Moon enters Pisces and your tenth house of career and public standing. Stress and pressure may be on the increase, but by tomorrow, everything should be going your way. Plan a workout for this evening to release nervous energy... you'll feel much better after you work up a sweat. Beneficial colours are mint blue and fern green. Lucky numbers are 21 and 28.

Oct 27: Star Shine

Everything in your life should begin to come full circle as the Moon travels through your tenth house of career and reputation. If you play your cards right, this can be a stellar day for you at work and at home. At work, your ideas begin to take shape, and at home your contributions are appreciated. Anything can be accomplished with just a little hard work! Fortunate colours are gold and silver. Lucky numbers are 17 and 37.

Oct 28: Public Eye

All eyes are upon you as the Moon activates your tenth house of status and career; be on your best behaviour as you make the rounds today. You have a rare opportunity to show the world what you are made of as Saturn passes through your sign, so don't be afraid of responsibility and commitment. It's time for the Twins to shine! Fortunate colours are steel grey and garnet red. Lucky numbers are 17 and 19.

Oct 29: Mood For Fun

The Moon enters Aries and your eleventh house of friends and associates sometime today, putting you in the mood for a bit of fun and frolic. It may be a Monday, but you can still get out and enjoy the night life. Domesticated Twins who can't find a baby-sitter should order a pizza and rent a movie; those with fewer responsibilities should gather a group of friends and find a karaoke bar! Advantageous colours are hot pink and aqua. Lucky numbers are 4 and 22.

Oct 30: Sharing And Caring

Work is more fun when you share it with friends today; if you have a project that needs a hand, why not ask your friends for some help? You can order the beer and the pizza in exchange for a little elbow grease. Imagine how much faster you can paint your living room! Any activity is more enjoyable with the gang today, so make a few phone calls. Auspicious colours are banana yellow and flame orange. Lucky numbers are 31 and 34.

Oct 31: Halloween

The changing Moon enters your twelfth house of hidden matters, making this an especially mysterious All Hallows Eve! Whether you feel like the Grim Reaper or Mata Hari, you are sure to have a grand time. If you plan on dressing up, consider these famous Twins: Pat Boone, Bob Dylan, Nancy Sinatra, Queen Victoria. Auspicious colours are midnight blue and sunset pink. Lucky numbers are 3 and 12. Read more on Halloween.
