Everything you are doing now, in early October, is supporting your rising status in your career, in a positive, uplifting way. The new moon that appeared on October 30 last month is still strong and is bringing you many new assignments in early November. With transiting Neptune at the very pinnacle point of your chart, being so powerfully supported by that new moon in supportive way, you will do well, and you may be given much press coverage this month. The work will allow for much creative input from you, too, so you’ll love what comes across your desk now.

In the first week, Mars will remain in Capricorn, so you will be thinking about money, sending out bills and paying them too. Mars in the eighth house, where you have had Mars since September 27, might have forced up your expenses at an alarming rate, but once Mars leaves this position on November 8, you will see those monster expenses drop, and you are not likely to have more financial surprises.

Socially, the weekend of November 5 should be special, for Venus will receive a silvery vibration from Uranus, linking your friendship house to your partnership house. If you have a special person to love, it appears you’ll be going out together that weekend with friends, and because Uranus is involved, the invitation seems to come up in a surprising, spontaneous way. The transiting moon will be in adventuresome Aries, so you may be doing something new.

Mars moves into Aquarius, you may be flying to a very distant point for pleasure this month, or very possibly for business, but even in the latter case, you will enjoy yourself very much. This is a great place for Mars to be for you, for Aquarius is an air sign just like your air-sign Gemini. You’ll be full of energy and drive, and eager to be in a new setting. If travel is not on your agenda, you may be working on passport, immigration, green card, visa, or other international matters, and making lots of progress. Another way this may work out is that you may find you are working on an international project with several people based abroad.

 If you work in publishing or broadcasting – and most Gemini do because your talent for communication is so strong – you will find Mars energizes this area, so your services will be in top demand. If you are in college or graduate school, you can get ahead and do well in your exams. If you are due to defend your thesis, Mars in Aquarius will be a plus and help you to explain your position persuasively.

 Keep your health strong, for the time near November 14, the full moon in Taurus at 23 degrees, will be a time when you might feel a bit drained of energy and in need of rest. Pluto will be very supportive from your eighth house of regeneration, so you can get your health back quickly if you stop, take care of yourself and if necessary, listen to your doctor. If you need surgery, you can do so within four days AFTER the full moon arrives, for Pluto might help you bounce back so well that you might surprise your doctor.

 In the second half of November, Mercury, your ruler, will be a chatty Cathy, meeting with four important planets in the sweetest possible way. This is remarkable, and all of these days will be helpful to you.

 The second outstanding day will be November 22, when Mercury will be in fine angle to Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck. This is my favorite day for you, dear Gemini, for you will have a great chance to express creative ideas that will have solid potential for profit. It’s the best day of the month to sign a contract. You can also travel on this day, November 22, with a reasonable expectation of flying through the lines at the airport easily.

On November 23, Mercury will be conjunct Saturn, so any promise you make on this day will last the test of time. Be absolutely sure you want to make that commitment, for if you sign a contract on this day, it will be hard to find a way to get out of that promise. You can solve this by building in an exit clause. This is NOT a good day to travel, for delays are likely to come up due to weather conditions or other reasons. If you have to travel, take a pillow to the airport.

The next special day, November 26, Mercury will be in fine angle to Uranus, the best day for generating original, forward thinking ideas. This day falls on a Saturday, so you can also use this day for socializing with friends – fascinating conversation will certainly bubble up. This would also be an ideal day for shopping for electronic products, for Mercury rules commerce, and Uranus, the digital world.

The month ends with a new moon, November 29, but it will be in hard angle to Neptune, so miscommunication, wrong assumptions, and wishful thinking may proliferate when it comes to forming a new committed relationship. This new moon will fall in your seventh house of marriage and business partnerships, but the chances for you not to be fully clear about what you are entering into will be strong. In order to make things work, you will have to be very realistic and practical going into the relationship, and in the business sense, have a ready fallback plan if later you begin to see things that you find troubling and need to leave. In matters of love, of course, things get more complicated, as it is very hard to leave.

This new moon won’t apply to you if you are newly dating someone (or not dating anyone). It will only apply to you if you are about to enter into a new serious relationship. If you are already married, then you may want to make more of the relationship, or if you are in a business partnership, feel you will want to sign papers, but in the latter case, this is not the time to do that.

If your birthday falls on May 29 plus or minus four days, or you have Gemini rising 8 degrees, or have the natal moon or a natal planet at 8 degrees Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, plus or minus four degrees, you will be susceptible to the problems that Neptune brings with the advent of this new moon.

Let’s also recognize that Saturn is moving through your seventh house of partnership for the first time since 1985-1988, bringing substantial challenges. If your relationship is strong, you will get through this period easily. If your relationship has weak links, you will see them clearly now and you can decide whether to talk over what you find, go for outside help, such as for a couples or business therapist, or if the problems are serious enough, prepare to leave.

If you are a Gemini born June 8, plus or minus five days, or have Gemini rising 15 to 17 degrees, you currently have slow-moving Saturn directly opposing your Sun or ascendant. This is a tough aspect that will test the strength of your relationship. You are likely feeling stress, but that will alleviate as soon as Saturn moves deeper into your opposite sign, Sagittarius.

For those single, and not attached, and not in a close business relationship, none of the month’s testing relationship aspects will apply to you. In fact, you have just the opposite forecast, for you have Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, in your fifth house of true love, new love. Commitments never take place in this area of your chart – that comes under the seventh house. You are, quite simply, in the finest period of your life to find the soul mate for you.

If you are attached and want a baby, Jupiter will help you with that dream. If you have had problems with conception, see a specialist or get a second opinion after you get all your health records back.

Jupiter in the fifth house will help every Gemini develop their innate creative gifts, a beautiful vibration. It’s time to take your talents seriously and to find ways to develop them fully, for you will be so glad you did!

As you begin November, you will soon see that your career is bursting with opportunity. You are feeling quite creative, so go ahead and state your ideas with confidence. This month you will start to get the recognition you’ve long craved. Neptune will be perfectly positioned at the very top of your chart, so you may be quoted favorably on TV or in print this month, with much applause for work well done. Mars, in Aquarius from November 8 until December 19 will urge you to travel a great distance, do import-export of ideas, goods, or services, or to get involved with a publishing, digital, or broadcasting projects, and any of these endeavors are likely to pay off.

Energetic Mars will be in what astrologers call “mutual reception” with Uranus, the planet of genius and surprise, from November 8 through December 19, meaning that each of these two planets will act like the other, and support one another in rare ways. This will add brilliance to your media work or to any international work that you might be involved with now.

By the time you get to the full moon, November 14, slow down and get rest, as you seem to be running down your batteries. Pluto is within orb (although on the outer limit of the aspect), and this means you can count on Pluto’s ability to offer you a rejuvenating affect if you don’t overdo. You also might see a commission payment, royalty, insurance payout, or other good news about money or a loan or mortgage approved for you. This month would be ideal for addressing health matters, and in early November, for joining a gym. Get back on the wagon, and your sleek, toned body will be the envy of your friends at holiday time.

A very special day, when just about everything will go your way, will be November 22, when your ruler, Mercury will meet with Jupiter, spreading happiness and giving you the edge in any negotiation or competitive situation – including love.

Late month at the new moon November 29 it will be time to think about forming an important partnership. It may be that you will want to get engaged or married, or if self-employed, to form a key alliance with someone who can help you with your work in your business. Mars, the energy planet, will be in perfect angle to this new moon, so you’ll accomplish much. However, Neptune will be in hard angle to this new moon, so proceed in a deliberate, objective way. You may be highly enthusiastic about getting started, but your happy feelings may cloud your judgment. Double check assumptions, and if hiring for work, check references.

Single Gemini can do well in love too, in that if you are single, Jupiter, the great good fortune planet, will help you meet substantial types. On Friday, November 4, Venus and Uranus will be ideally aligned, so your little angels will be looking out for you. Be sure to socialize! Couples will find that night to be quite divine as well.
