For Friday, Oct. 17:

You could be surprised by all the opportunities that come your way this year. Do not overintellectualize, as it will prevent you from acting. Spontaneity will work well. Your ideas will tend to be more solid than in the past. If you are single, you might have a better time than you have had in many years. If you are attached, the two of you will benefit by walking in each others’ footsteps more often. Gemini always presents a different viewpoint.
