October kicks off with a retrograde, but don’t panic, Gemini. This backward spin doesn’t belong to Mercury, your planetary ruler. On Friday, October 5, Venus — the celestial body that governs love, beauty, and money — will be reversing its path in the sky. This celestial motion activates the area of your chart associated with daily routines, so don’t be surprised if you experience radical shifts in your schedule.

Venus is also linked to our values. While you're always fueled by curiosities, you may pick up a few strange habits over the next few weeks, even for you. If you suddenly find yourself juggling five different odd jobs, remember that your perspective may be a bit skewed. Hey — it happens to everyone.

A new lunar cycle begins on Monday, October 8, when the sky is blanketed by a new moon in like-minded Libra. With the sun (which symbolizes your truth paired up with the emotional moon, you’ll enjoy a surge of creativity. This is a very positive lunation for you, Gemini darling, so be sure to take advantage of this auspicious occasion. Any seeds you plant under this sky will be sure to blossom. And what could be better than embracing your unique artistic edge?

Soon, you’ll realize that you’re not just spinning your wheels.

The sun shifts into Scorpio on Tuesday, October 23, kicking off a brand new astrological season. By the end of the month, four planets will be occupying this elusive sign, so cosmic energy will be in full force. At first, all these Scorpio vibes may feel a bit disorienting, but don’t fret. The following day, on Wednesday, October 24, a full moon in Taurus will electrify the sky and add some much-needed perspective to this celestial equation.

Under the lunation, you’ll realize that you’re not just spinning your wheels. With the full moon activating the most psychic area of your chart, it will be extremely important to carve out time to listen to your intuition. Interestingly, scent is one of the best ways to strengthen your internal wisdom. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Scented Hair Mist delivers an enchanting, timeless aroma that will be sure to activate your magickal receptors.
