Your October 2026 Horoscope for Gemini
by Susan MillerSUMMARY
The universe is speaking in riddles this month. On one hand, Venus will go retrograde on October 3 until November 13, which, if you are single, is not conducive for meeting new love interests. On the other hand, the new moon of October 10 would normally be quite helpful for promoting your romantic life.
In this slightly messy month, instead of searching for romance, direct the energy of this new moon to further your creative expressions. Your imagination and artistic side are covered by the same house as love and romance—the fifth house, which is being energized by this new moon October 10.
It is never a good time to start a new romantic relationship while Venus is out of phase, and because Venus rules beauty too, Venus retrograde is not the time to have any expensive treatments to improve your looks, either. It’s fine to have a routine haircut, but not to ask for a radical change.
Don’t be blue. Any new love would likely come with responsibilities and strings attached, as taskmaster Saturn will oppose the October 10 new moon and Sun. By the time the year-end festivities start, Venus, which is so associated with romance and fun, will be direct again, just when we need her most. If you are dating, you may reflect on your relationship and change your mind more than once about how you feel about your partner during the retrograde period. Therefore, you might want to wait to announce your final decision until late November.
