Overview for this Month: Gemini (All)
October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:
The month ahead emphasizes both work and play, dear Gemini, with a particular focus on entertainment and expression in the first three weeks of October. Personal enjoyment, hobbies, pastime, and romance are well-starred. You're inclined to explore creative urges and share your affection, joy, and experiences with others. Later in the month, you pour more love and attention into your daily routines.
Your planetary ruler, Mercury, ends its retrograde on the 2nd, and this can feel liberating. You'll see some progress or forward movement in projects and endeavors that stalled, especially those related to your hobbies, love life, home, or family. There can be more clarity and possibly improved communications in your personal life in the days ahead.
And, with Pluto turning direct on the 8th, you're more confident and motivated to take charge of your work, daily routines and habits, health, and finances. You are less concerned about having made the right choices in the past and more focused on your current path and your future prospects.
October is strong for personal magnetism, connecting with others energetically and romantically, and nurturing budding relationships. You give off warm and exciting vibes. You can receive gifts or attention and recognition. Until the 23rd, Venus and the Sun are in harmony with your sign, boosting your appeal significantly. You're motivated to share yourself with others more spontaneously and heartfully. You're also discovering ways to make more time to do what pleases you most!
As optimistic as you can be, aim to be mindful about taking on more than you can reasonably handle, as there can be a change of heart or slowdowns occurring as October advances. Mars is currently transiting your sign, but it's moving slowly this month, turning retrograde on the 30th. Later, you may not feel like following through or simply can't do so.
The Full Moon on the 9th stirs the need for special attention to your friendships, social life, networks, happiness goals, dreams, and hopes. Feelings for someone or a project can blossom. This lunation reminds you of the need for others, whether it's about support or simply a sense of belonging. Reaching out at this time can be therapeutic. Aim to restore balance to your life by including friends, considering communal needs, and enjoying the benefits of teams and groups, even if you're exceptionally wrapped up in your personal or romantic life these days.
Saturn ends its retrograde on the 23rd, helping you work on bringing your expectations down to earth. Self-improvement endeavors can be in focus and more successful as you have a firmer grip on what's realistic and realizable. Your life might improve with support or increased structure and commitment.
The last week of October brings a stronger focus on work and health matters. You're paying more attention to the functional side of your life. On the 28th, Jupiter returns to your career sector, encouraging your sense of joy in pursuing long-term goals.
A Solar Eclipse occurring on the 25th can give you a boost or serve as a reminder to implement new exercise routines, nutritional programs, and healthy habits. A path is clearing towards better work conditions as well.
This eclipse season (continuing into November) gives you a nudge to deal with the details and practical side of everyday life, become more organized, and take charge of your routines, but it also wants you to take the time for rest and regeneration. It's an important time for formulating goals, initiatives, and plans that get you back on track physically and mentally.
With Mars retrograde in your sign from the 30th, you tend to look within for answers. Questioning your plans is likely--and possibly necessary. The temptation to push ahead with personal plans is strong, but circumstances could have you feeling stuck. Watch for temper tantrums - they are unlikely to go over well. You'll be at your strongest if you tame impatience and work on projects that need fine-tuning or completion rather than adding more to your plate. Aim to correct misunderstandings swiftly, and don't dwell on matters you can't control, although the latter can be tough with Mars in your sign and retrograde, as all sorts of buried frustrations can emerge unexpectedly. The tendency to stew and to let things get to you is strong now. Remember that some things are in the past because they have no room in the present.
Mars is retrograde from October 30th to January 12th, but the planet visits your sign until March 25th. This extended stay is powerful for discovering your true desires. Aim to consider areas of your life that you may have charged past and now can use some revamping or extra attention--you may find some gems in the process.

Gemini (Born May 22 to 31) and Gemini Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Gemini:
October 2022 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
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.
Eclipses
A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar sixth house, suggesting a new approach to work or health is in order. A new set-up in existing jobs or a new job altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your daily activities, health routines, and attention to practical matters.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the daily routines that keep you organized and of your own health.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 22nd:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. 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!
From October 23rd forward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.
Until October 10th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family.
You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.
From October 10-29:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
From October 29th forward:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.
This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.
You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:
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 your solar first house now, this Mars retrograde cycle is very up close and personal! The ways that your survival instincts have served you to date may not seem to be as effective, or you might be feeling cautious and withdrawn in a general way now. You might find that you are second-guessing yourself, and this is a natural process as you reassess how you've been going about meeting life and reacting/acting, which may need some polishing! It's a good time for refining these things. Your personal initiatives and confidence are affected. Perhaps you are less confident about your effectiveness and more cautious about sharing yourself with others. Personal initiatives might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. You may be a little tired and more accident-prone during this cycle, so be sure to rest up.
You are also examining the way anger has helped or impaired your life and coming up with new ways to manage it. In the process, you can experience some real frustrations. The end result, ideally, is a much-improved "you." It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. How you assert yourself and how you go about going after what you want out of life are up for review now.
Watch for unacknowledged or buried desires driving your behavior.

Gemini (Born June 1 to 11) and Gemini Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Gemini:
October 2022 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
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
Until October 7th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From October 7-31:
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.

AND Gemini Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Gemini:
October 2022 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 13th:
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 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.
Eclipses
A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar fifth house, suggesting a new approach to love, children, or creative projects. A new set-up in existing love affairs or a new love affair altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to express yourself spontaneously and creatively.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your need for fun and leisure activities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 15th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From October 15th 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
Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.
Until October 23rd:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family.
You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.
From October 23rd forward:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual during this transit of Mars through your solar first house. You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way--however big or small--and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back. In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper.
Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don't bulldoze over others in the process! This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality. Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period. On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.
Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:
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 your solar first house now, this Mars retrograde cycle is very up close and personal! The ways that your survival instincts have served you to date may not seem to be as effective, or you might be feeling cautious and withdrawn in a general way now. You might find that you are second-guessing yourself, and this is a natural process as you reassess how you've been going about meeting life and reacting/acting, which may need some polishing! It's a good time for refining these things. Your personal initiatives and confidence are affected. Perhaps you are less confident about your effectiveness and more cautious about sharing yourself with others. Personal initiatives might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. You may be a little tired and more accident-prone during this cycle, so be sure to rest up.
You are also examining the way anger has helped or impaired your life and coming up with new ways to manage it. In the process, you can experience some real frustrations. The end result, ideally, is a much-improved "you." It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. How you assert yourself and how you go about going after what you want out of life are up for review now.
Watch for unacknowledged or buried desires driving your behavior.
Overview Horoscope:
October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:
The month ahead emphasizes both work and play, dear Gemini, with a particular focus on entertainment and expression in the first three weeks of October. Personal enjoyment, hobbies, pastime, and romance are well-starred. You're inclined to explore creative urges and share your affection, joy, and experiences with others. Later in the month, you pour more love and attention into your daily routines.
Your planetary ruler, Mercury, ends its retrograde on the 2nd, and this can feel liberating. You'll see some progress or forward movement in projects and endeavors that stalled, especially those related to your hobbies, love life, home, or family. There can be more clarity and possibly improved communications in your personal life in the days ahead.
And, with Pluto turning direct on the 8th, you're more confident and motivated to take charge of your work, daily routines and habits, health, and finances. You are less concerned about having made the right choices in the past and more focused on your current path and your future prospects.
October is strong for personal magnetism, connecting with others energetically and romantically, and nurturing budding relationships. You give off warm and exciting vibes. You can receive gifts or attention and recognition. Until the 23rd, Venus and the Sun are in harmony with your sign, boosting your appeal significantly. You're motivated to share yourself with others more spontaneously and heartfully. You're also discovering ways to make more time to do what pleases you most!
As optimistic as you can be, aim to be mindful about taking on more than you can reasonably handle, as there can be a change of heart or slowdowns occurring as October advances. Mars is currently transiting your sign, but it's moving slowly this month, turning retrograde on the 30th. Later, you may not feel like following through or simply can't do so.
The Full Moon on the 9th stirs the need for special attention to your friendships, social life, networks, happiness goals, dreams, and hopes. Feelings for someone or a project can blossom. This lunation reminds you of the need for others, whether it's about support or simply a sense of belonging. Reaching out at this time can be therapeutic. Aim to restore balance to your life by including friends, considering communal needs, and enjoying the benefits of teams and groups, even if you're exceptionally wrapped up in your personal or romantic life these days.
Saturn ends its retrograde on the 23rd, helping you work on bringing your expectations down to earth. Self-improvement endeavors can be in focus and more successful as you have a firmer grip on what's realistic and realizable. Your life might improve with support or increased structure and commitment.
The last week of October brings a stronger focus on work and health matters. You're paying more attention to the functional side of your life. On the 28th, Jupiter returns to your career sector, encouraging your sense of joy in pursuing long-term goals.
A Solar Eclipse occurring on the 25th can give you a boost or serve as a reminder to implement new exercise routines, nutritional programs, and healthy habits. A path is clearing towards better work conditions as well.
This eclipse season (continuing into November) gives you a nudge to deal with the details and practical side of everyday life, become more organized, and take charge of your routines, but it also wants you to take the time for rest and regeneration. It's an important time for formulating goals, initiatives, and plans that get you back on track physically and mentally.
With Mars retrograde in your sign from the 30th, you tend to look within for answers. Questioning your plans is likely--and possibly necessary. The temptation to push ahead with personal plans is strong, but circumstances could have you feeling stuck. Watch for temper tantrums - they are unlikely to go over well. You'll be at your strongest if you tame impatience and work on projects that need fine-tuning or completion rather than adding more to your plate. Aim to correct misunderstandings swiftly, and don't dwell on matters you can't control, although the latter can be tough with Mars in your sign and retrograde, as all sorts of buried frustrations can emerge unexpectedly. The tendency to stew and to let things get to you is strong now. Remember that some things are in the past because they have no room in the present.
Mars is retrograde from October 30th to January 12th, but the planet visits your sign until March 25th. This extended stay is powerful for discovering your true desires. Aim to consider areas of your life that you may have charged past and now can use some revamping or extra attention--you may find some gems in the process.

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:
