October 2014 horoscope - Gemini

I follow the Vedic calendar; this is the monthly solar horoscope for birthdays from 16^th June to 15^th July or Gemini Ascendants and Moons

Gemini, such an important month for you. The big news of course is that the eclipse cycle hits your sign hard this month with the lunar eclipse on 8^th October in Pisces and the area of your chart to do with your status, your reputation, your life direction and career. Money is involved too. Lunar eclipses are very potent full Moons and because of the opposition of the Sun and Moon, are relationship-oriented. The full Moon brings things to light and with an eclipse, may involve some sort of a crisis. It's a time when a need or want becomes so intense, you can't ignore it. This can come from within yourself or from external sources - most likely a partner. If you are single, then the gap in your life due to a lack of a relationship, makes it presence felt - if a partnership is indeed what you want. Uranus is involved in the eclipse, so things you've been feeling, thoughts you've had come bubbling up to the surface. Thoughts and feelings that you've started to be aware of at the turn of the year and throughout January 2014. But think about what began in April 2013 – whatever started around this time is moving to the next level and reaches a peak, quite suddenly but probably not entirely unexpected. This cycle is in the naksahtra of Revati, ruled by Mercury. Some of the meanings of Revati are the Shining One, the Protector of Herds and Wealth and the one descended from a wealthy family. So, Revati is a Shining Light who shows the Path to others. Although part of the eclipse, this full Moon is considered a rather lucky one where we are able to move freely from one mental engagement to the next.

Mercury, your ruler, going backwards in the sky from 5^th to 25^th October 2014. Mercury makes sure you ask the right questions and revise your ideas when it comes to creative outputs, children, romance and lovers. But not only that, you will have to revisit ideas and matters around the home – some of you are thinking about moving house, so from mid-month, your mind and attention will be focused on that part of life. Generally and for the foreseeable future, this will be something that occupies your time.

The new Moon on 23^rd October in the area of your chart to do with romance and children really is a wave goodbye to Saturn. Saturn leaves this area of your chart next month not to return for another 29 - 30 years and a lot of you learnt important lessons when it comes to children and romantic involvements. This time period at the end of October is a great new beginning in this area and one that introduces a much lighter and more easygoing atmosphere compared to the previous two years. Have a great month, Gemini!
