October wastes no time getting into its powerful astrology—so neither will this horoscope! On October 1, a dynamic Full Moon in Aries activates your collaboration zone, inspiring you to reconnect with your community. I know what you’re thinking, Gemini: Reconnect? I'm already in it! But while this might be true for you, that may not be how everyone feels. Use this lunation to collect information: How can you step up your friendship game to make sure you’re showing up for your crew in the best, most honest way? Under the moonlight, don’t be afraid to expand your horizons and cultivate authentic friendship with folks who truly share your values. This isn’t just about spreading out—it’s also about stepping up. You got this!

I’m sorry to say, but this month, Mercury is acting like a real prankster. On October 13, the planet of communication (and *ahem* your planetary ruler) begins its annoying retrograde cycle. Yes, Gemini babe, this definitely calls for a collective eye-roll. For the next three weeks, malfunctions, meltdowns, and miscommunication will be the new norm. But—hey—at least now, when everything falls apart, you actually have an excuse. It’s not your fault, it’s Mercury Retrograde!

Now, how about some good news: You’ll absolutely adore the New Moon in Libra that rolls through on October 16, helping align your internal radiance with your external experiences. You’re defined by an insatiable curiosity, so for you, the Sun and Moon aligned in a like-minded air sign means you can really shine. Although there’s no illumination under this dark sky, you’ll be attracting a ton of attention, so don’t be surprised if you end up with some exciting, passionate, new connections mid-month. Are these lovers for real? Only time will tell! But one thing’s for sure: You’re having fun!

Scorpio season begins on October 22, and now, you’re ready to tap into your signature duality. Are you going to be Doctor Jekyll? Or Mr. Hyde? Believe it or not, the next few weeks aren’t about living in extremes. Use the Sun’s movement into Scorpio as a way to recalibrate your day-to-day experiences: How can you make sure that each and every aspect of your spirit feels energized within a 24-hour cycle? I know you’re an expert juggler, Gemini babe, but this isn’t about keeping all the balls in the air. Now, you have an opportunity to establish new routines that are built to last. Go for it!

This year, Halloween is extra spooky. On October 31, a Full Moon in Taurus electrifies the sky. Yes, the werewolves are out! And, to be honest, you’re feeling a bit on edge: This lunation shines a haunted light into your psychic dimension, and some of your biggest fears are being exposed. But try not to panic! Before you start screaming bloody murder, make sure you’re separating fact from fiction. Is this nightmare really happening or are your anxieties magnified under this haunted moonlight? If things get too intense, go ahead and flip on the lights. No more scary movies before bed!
