You will see many exciting benefits to October and will be happy from the very start. In many ways, some of the aspects seem made for Gemini. The month starts off with a gorgeous new moon that appeared September 30 in Libra, setting off sparks in your fifth house of true love That new moon will carry you forward with sparkling energy for eleven days, and depending on what you do during that time, will have the power to influence your life for the coming year too, until the next new moon in Libra has time to come back to refresh this new moon’s energy. It is essential that you mix and mingle if you are single, for this new moon will act like a fairy godmother to get you coupled up.

Next year, the next new moon in Libra will happen on October 19, but that new moon could not possibly hold a candle to the beauty, grace, and elegant intensity of this one that recently arrived September 30. This one is truly outstanding, which is why you must do something in the first eleven days of October to take full advantage of it.

The reason I love this new moon is that she will appear and walk gracefully, with dignity, as she holds the arm of Jupiter, the great planet of good fortune. Both will be in close mathematical conjunction, which is very significant. Last month I wrote that Jupiter entered your true love sector for the first time in twelve years and that Jupiter will stay one year and will be with you every step of the way for months, until October 10, 2017. Dear Gemini, you are the most favored sign of the zodiac to find true love.

Your fifth house rules new love, and also favors pregnancy and birth, and the fun and care of children, and also encourages all types of creativity. If you are single, you now have one of the most powerful aspects possible to find love with Jupiter in air sign Libra – you are an air sign too.

To unlock Jupiter’s good fortune, you would need the right new moon, falling in the same house, and one that is friendly in every way. That’s a tall order. Most new moons are mixed in outlook, and some are downright difficult. Not this one – this one meets all those qualifications. The new moon you will be feeling as October dawns will be so very enchanting

If you want to meet someone new, this is the time to be out and about, and by all means, be open to different types. If you have a narrow set of qualifications for the person to date, you may not be doing yourself a favor – be open to what the world has to offer you this month.

If you are attached, your love will grow. If you hope for a baby, this would be the month to get serious about planning that child. If you have had difficulty in conception, then you will have the right moment to visit a fertility specialist and get answers – and that visit may well lead to a healthy little baby. It’s also a wonderful time to apply for an adoption, or if you did that already, to get news that your baby has arrived. I want to remind you that Jupiter will be with you for a full year, until October 2017.

At work, it will be very important to take your creative ideas seriously, because when Jupiter is prominent, as he will be now, generous profit usually follows. If you are launching a new product or service, for your own business or your employer, you will do well! If you are in development on one, you will make important contributions, so you should not be shy about voicing ideas.

You may see two happy side effects to this glorious new moon of September 30 – one is more money, for Jupiter will move very close to the moon, likely to bring you a large check in the first week or so of October. The second benefit will be in terms of travel, agreements, writing projects, and speaking engagements, all which should please you.

Then comes the difficult full moon, October 16, where you may see things go haywire two days before and four days after its arrival. This full moon comes conjunct Uranus, planet of unpredictable events. Things are likely to be very emotional, and the area that this will hit will be in your social life, most likely regarding a friend who may start to act weird. While it is possible, I suppose, to have good news come out of this (after all Uranus is completely unpredictable), I don’t think so. Pluto and Mars will be at hard angles to the full moon too, giving you concerns about money.

I know what you are thinking: “Wait, you just said money would be excellent in the early part of October, and now mid-month near the full moon of October 16, you are saying not so good?” Yes, I am with you in your thinking. This is a very strange month where the wind can change in the blink of an eye. Keep an eye on spending, and if possible, spend most of your money at the end of the month.

If you are on a trip at mid-month, you need to make sure your arrangements are holding, as you may have a number of changes or unusual events while you are away. It could be the client you are seeing could act erratically, as the Sun will oppose Uranus, and the Sun naturally rules talks and negotiations in the Gemini chart. Do not sign any papers under such a volatile full moon – break talks with the other party and agree to meet again later, perhaps during the week of October 24. To wrangle will be to lose, as too many people will be worked up and overwrought at this time.

I am NOT enthusiastic about doing anything important October 20 or 28 either, as your ruler, Mercury, will oppose Uranus on October 20, and Mars will challenge Uranus on October 28. Yes, avoid major actions on those two days, October 20 and 28.

One of my favorite days for you will be October 11 when Mercury, your ruler, will conjoin Jupiter and Mars and will be in ideal angle to Neptune. This is a marvelous day to sign papers, to have an important meeting, give a presentation, take a test, or hand in written work. This is a rare day that happens usually only once a year, and has not happened in Libra in twelve years.

A fabulously romantic day will be when Venus, now in your house of partnership and marriage, will receive greetings from Jupiter, planet of gifts and luck, linking love and commitment. It is a perfect day for those who are seriously dating. You need not actually get engaged, but you might talk about your feelings, and possibly promise to be exclusive to each other. Or, you may want to move in together.

The new moon of October 30 falls in Scorpio, 8 degrees, and will light your sixth house of fitness and health. You may want to join a new gym, and if so, it’s a great idea, just do so immediately AFTER this new moon arrives, October 30 or 31, not before. Or, sign up to take lessons in a new sport, or join a different kind of fitness class. You may want to schedule your annual physical exams, including having your eyes checked. This is the best new moon in 2016 for starting a sensible weight loss routine too. It will show results if you put in the energy and determination.

This new moon will bring you lots of new assignments, so if you work with others, or you are self-employed, you will feel valued and in demand. The jobs this time will be unusually imaginative, and you should enjoy working on them. If self-employed, or if you do side work, this new moon will help your cash flow. Mars is now in Capricorn until November 8, so you will have very high expenses. Having so much work come in should help.

Halloween, October 31, should be outstanding this year. The costumes will be unusually imaginative, due to the prominence of creative Neptune at the new moon time. Additionally, because Neptune is so highly placed in your chart, you may be on TV or in print – publicity may come to you in the days after this new moon arrives, and it all will be so very positive and thrilling.

If you feel you are missing romance in your life, you will find October divine. The new moon of September 30 will be strong in the first eleven days, and Cupid and his little fleet of angels will be out and about to zing their arrows to the right person for you. If you are single and looking for just the right new person, early October will be your most likely month of 2016 to meet an intriguing person who you’d like to know better. Attached Gemini will enjoy early month too, for the recent heavy emphasis on career this year will lighten, and you will begin to relax, smile, and move your hips to the music.

You will spend more money than usual this month, but it seems you will also have enough left over to pick up one or two luxuries, and still put some funds aside to reach a financial objective. If you are in a dispute over money in court, or in the process of getting a divorce and trying to find a fair way to divide property, discussions may get heated at times, for warrior Mars will be moving through your joint-property sector. At the same time, your ruling planet, Mercury, will be at odds with pushy Pluto, so a confrontation might erupt. Things may come to culmination near October 15-16, so be ready.

At work, you will be very creative, and if you are an artist or designer, you will brim with original ideas. The Sun, Mercury, and Uranus will fill your fifth house, adding a touch of surprise to your expressions – someone influential, possibly the client or a very highly placed VIP – may even call you genius. Be careful near the full moon, however, when an important project may go off the rails. You’ll need to pay attention to all that goes on and to monitor all details.

At the same time, a friend or lover may act strangely, in a way you’ve not seen, and reveal a side of character that you may find disturbing. The full moon will be an intense one for everyone in different ways. Because the moon is so close to Uranus, a woman close to you may start to act erratically and will polarize your feelings from one end of the spectrum or the other. This will be an emotional time, for a matter will be reaching a boiling point. Uranus is known to cause scars, so be careful what you say as you won’t be able to take it back. Later you might wish you had said less. Still, on the other hand, you may not want to continue the relationship at all – this is up to you after you see what happens. A full moon in Aries blends with your Gemini Sun quite well, so one way or another, you will benefit in the long run, even if you cannot see that truth of this immediately. This outcome will be bolstered by Mercury, your ruler, in fine angle to Saturn, the planet of longevity, just two days prior to the full moon, on October 14. Plans made as you get closer to the full moon will stick.

Things will cool down as you move closer to the month’s new moon in Scorpio, October 30. Neptune, planet of dreams and creativity, in your career house, will be in perfect angle to the new moon, encouraging you to push your self-expression beyond usual limits. Recommend a risky idea that you believe is sound – this is your time to shine at work. If you are self-employed, business should be brisk, and you may have to hire recruits to help get the work out. Keep racking up successes, dear Gemini, because the project you do now and in weeks ahead will count toward a promotion or major job offer next year, at the end of 2017.

In love, you are golden. One of the best two days of the year will be October 10-11 (depending on your time zone), when in a rare conjunct Mercury will conjoin Jupiter in Libra for the first time in twelve years and bring you all kinds of happiness. Married or single, these days are made for tender romance. As an aside, these days would also be an ideal time to sign a contract, and doubly so if it involves a creative effort.

Jupiter, planet of good fortune, moved into your fifth house of true love last month to stay a year, and even though you may experience a rocky full moon on October 16 (let’s hope not), keep in mind you are now entering the most glorious year in over a decade to find true love. Literally nothing can stop you from finding the love you deserve. One of your best days for love will be October 26 will be when Venus, in your partnership / marriage sector, will join forces with fortunate Jupiter. It’s a Wednesday, but be sure to plan something after work anyway.
