Overview for this Month: Gemini (All)
October 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:
October is a month for finding ways to enjoy and express yourself more fully, dear Gemini. Misunderstandings and slowdowns are likely with Mars retrograde all month and your planetary ruler, Mercury, retrograde from the 13th forward. However, if you avoid pushing things that aren't ready to move, the month is strong for connecting with your heart. You'll benefit from catching your breath and reviewing recent projects. October can also be a time for repairs and refinements in the home or with family.
The month begins and ends with a Full Moon! The Full Moon on the 1st awakens your feelings regarding your social life, connections, happiness goals, and sense of community. Mars is retrograde in this same sector, and it's complicated! While feelings are big now, it may not be the time to act on them.
Venus spends the 2-27 in your home and family sector. You seek more harmony, comfort, beauty, and balance in your home environment and family life. Safety, prosperity, and familiarity seem to drive your love life, spending habits, and pastimes or pleasures. Real estate matters can be favorable now. You gain inspiration from your deeper connections with a person or project, private matters, family connections, and realizations or discoveries about psychological issues.
October is useful for identifying unnecessary elements in your routine or attitudes, making it easier to streamline. You may be actively doing research, and you can apply yourself with increased focus and dedication now.
Retrograde Mars tends to stir up previously buried anger or resentment, particularly on the 8-9 and 13th. Unrest with friends and lovers may push to the surface, but you'll be in a better position to understand what and who you want once the impatience or frustration passes.
Still, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourself. A new way of approaching emotions, feelings, intimacy, and family or household matters can be successful. You could be making purchases or design changes to your domestic world, and it's refreshing. Detaching yourself just a little from a matter can help you break ground with a previously tricky topic. Be willing to break down barriers. Getting rid of clutter in your home can be especially helpful for improving your outlook, as you can feel lighter and freer. Your increased desire to find peace in your domestic life, family, and work can lead to agreements and favorable circumstances.
While Mercury turns retrograde in your work and health sector on the 13th, you have plenty of supportive influences for improving these affairs. You're beginning to see old routines, work projects, and ventures in a brand new light. While it's not yet the time for new launches, it can be a turning point of sorts when it comes to thinking on these matters, putting you on the path towards increased clarity.
The New Moon on the 16th can usher in a new beginning with love, romance, creativity, pleasure, entertainment, or leisure. There can be tensions stirred now, however, particularly with friends, groups, or associates. You'll have to do some juggling, but the central focus should be on getting your personal life in order. Innovative ideas can take seed now.
The second Full Moon occurs on the 31st, bringing some excitement or tension to your inner world or private life. You're gaining a new perspective on rest, reflection, downtime, and tying up loose ends or putting a project to an end.

Gemini (Born May 22 to 31) and Gemini Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Gemini:
October 2020 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.
From October 23rd forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 2nd:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
From October 3-27:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
From October 28th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 27th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar sixth house. This is an excellent cycle for improving your skills, objectively identifying your weaknesses so that you can work on them, and for finding flaws in your work methods or approach to daily activities so that you can make necessary changes.
You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong now. Negative expression of this position is worrying about sixth house matters (work, health, pets, and so forth) rather than finding ways to improve these things.
Mercury is retrograde from October 13th to November 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your personal presentation or image to others and communications with family because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Because Mercury is your sign's ruler, all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues may apply. Put off making important decisions with regards to family and domestic matters (Virgo-ruled for you) just now, and take care when it comes to communicating with family members.
Occurring in your solar fifth and sixth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to romance, children, creativity, work, and daily routines. Be as non- judgmental as you can with co-workers, romantic partners, and your children. Re- thinking the suitability of your job and/or romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you. Double-check your work. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, professors, lawyers, romantic partners, and children, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your friendships, group associations, networking, business income, and dreams/wishes because Mars rules these areas of your life in your solar chart. Challenges are possible now. Enthusiasm for generating business income, for group or community activities, and/or friendships may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. You may be temporarily confused about long-term goals.
Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.
Note that Mars sticks around this area of your solar chart for much longer than usual–until January 6th, 2021, but is only retrograde here until November 13th.

Gemini (Born June 1 to 11) and Gemini Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Gemini:
October 2020 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From October 1-8 and October 19th forward:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.

AND Gemini Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Gemini:
October 2020 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 12th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.
From October 13th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.

This month:

Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.
Mercury is retrograde from October 13th to November 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your personal presentation or image to others and communications with family because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Because Mercury is your sign's ruler, all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues may apply. Put off making important decisions with regards to family and domestic matters (Virgo-ruled for you) just now, and take care when it comes to communicating with family members.
Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead.

Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your friendships, group associations, networking, business income, and dreams/wishes because Mars rules these areas of your life in your solar chart. Challenges are possible now. Enthusiasm for generating business income, for group or community activities, and/or friendships may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. You may be temporarily confused about long-term goals.
Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.
From the 17th forward: Occurring in your solar tenth house during this period, enthusiasm for career and public or professional matters may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Ambiguities might have you second-guessing or reassessing your goals. You might feel less confident or you could simply feel more cautious now. Some projects may stall. You may be feeling as if you are only going through the motions when it comes to your duties and responsibilities, temporarily lacking ambition, fire, or motivation. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. This Mars retrograde emphasizes practical and work matters. How you organize your time is in question now.
Mars will continue to transit these areas of your solar chart for longer than usual–until February 2021 but is only retrograde until November 13th.

Mars is retrograde in this same sector, and it's complicated! While feelings are big now, it may not be the time to act on them.
Venus spends the 2-27 in your home and family sector. You seek more harmony, comfort, beauty, and balance in your home environment and family life. Safety, prosperity, and familiarity seem to drive your love life, spending habits, and pastimes or pleasures. Real estate matters can be favorable now. You gain inspiration from your deeper connections with a person or project, private matters, family connections, and realizations or discoveries about psychological issues.
October is useful for identifying unnecessary elements in your routine or attitudes, making it easier to streamline. You may be actively doing research, and you can apply yourself with increased focus and dedication now.
Retrograde Mars tends to stir up previously buried anger or resentment, particularly on the 8-9 and 13th. Unrest with friends and lovers may push to the surface, but you'll be in a better position to understand what and who you want once the impatience or frustration passes.
Still, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourself. A new way of approaching emotions, feelings, intimacy, and family or household matters can be successful. You could be making purchases or design changes to your domestic world, and it's refreshing. Detaching yourself just a little from a matter can help you break ground with a previously tricky topic. Be willing to break down barriers. Getting rid of clutter in your home can be especially helpful for improving your outlook, as you can feel lighter and freer. Your increased desire to find peace in your domestic life, family, and work can lead to agreements and favorable circumstances.
While Mercury turns retrograde in your work and health sector on the 13th, you have plenty of supportive influences for improving these affairs. You're beginning to see old routines, work projects, and ventures in a brand new light. While it's not yet the time for new launches, it can be a turning point of sorts when it comes to thinking on these matters, putting you on the path towards increased clarity.
The New Moon on the 16th can usher in a new beginning with love, romance, creativity, pleasure, entertainment, or leisure. There can be tensions stirred now, however, particularly with friends, groups, or associates. You'll have to do some juggling, but the central focus should be on getting your personal life in order. Innovative ideas can take seed now.
The second Full Moon occurs on the 31st, bringing some excitement or tension to your inner world or private life. You're gaining a new perspective on rest, reflection, downtime, and tying up loose ends or putting a project to an end.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t suddenly change as the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
Learn all about the signs of the zodiac. We offer interpretations of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Ascendant in the signs:
