Gemini monthly horoscope

May 21 to Jun 20

A good month for short bright ideas

Your October started quickly. Mercury, your ruling planet, squared Mars on October 2. Mercury and Pluto were square that day too. So you began the month mid-argument with something you read. Then the Sun in Libra lit up the part of your chart about fun. The New Moon there on October 10 brought a flirtation, or a hobby, or a very good idea for a costume. Mars made a friendly angle to Uranus in your sign on October 7, and that was probably the best day of the month. You may have done something quick and clever and been thanked for it. The tone changed on October 24, when Mercury turned retrograde in Scorpio, in your daily work corner. The list has grown longer since. Nothing is wrong with it. Your job for the last days of October is simple. Find the one task that is really three tasks, and split it.

The list unknots itself

Mercury, your ruling planet, goes direct on November 13 in your daily work corner, and the job that kept coming back finally stays done. That is the first half of your month. Be patient until then, and be kind to whoever is checking your work. The second half is about you. Mars and Jupiter meet in Leo on November 16, in your everyday talk corner, and your phone gets very busy. Say yes to most of it. Then the Full Moon in your sign on November 24 brings something to a clear finish, and on the very next day the Sun opposes Uranus, which is also in your sign. So a surprise is likely, and most likely a harmless one: a sudden haircut, a change of plan, a person turning up at the door. The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22, in your partner corner, so someone close has a front-row seat. Let them laugh. You would.
