Gemini

May 21 — Jun 20

October opens with Uranus still moving backward through your first house, the part of the chart that speaks for you, your habits and your manner. Something in how you present yourself has been loosening for months, and this retrograde asks you to look at what you have already changed rather than chase another reinvention. The Moon passes through Gemini early in the month, which tends to sharpen your curiosity and your talk, so notice which topics make you lean forward. Those are worth following. Mid-month the new moon in Libra lands in your fifth house of play and creative risk, and it favours a fresh start in whatever you do for pleasure rather than duty. Try something small and slightly unlike you: a different route to a café, an instrument left untouched for years, a game you would normally decline. By the final week the Sun moves into Scorpio and your sixth house, turning attention toward routine and craft. The mood shifts from experiment to refinement. You may find the second half of the month quieter and more exacting, and that is a fair trade. Let the first half be loose, and the second half do the careful finishing.
