Your Weekly Horoscope: October 17 - 23, 2018

Libra

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

When you hurt or your heart is heavy is when it’s easiest to lash out, shut down, or generally be out of sorts in how you relate to yourself and others. This week your job is to practice kindness and empathy. Go beyond the surface of your situation and embody the openness and support that you believe that everyone deserves to be afforded. You need to let go of something, but you don’t need to do it today. Be patient with your process, Libra.

Scorpio

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

There’s no way to grow without outgrowing some things, Scorpio. As you expand into the person you mean to be, there are inevitably people, attitudes, and attachments that you will have to shed. This week is likely to bring you the chance to put into practice some wisdom you’ve earned, but it may come at some personal cost. Do what’s right, even when it’s scary, my love. You can’t lose anything of value when you’re following your truth.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

FOMO is real, but it won’t help you get very far in life. Try to not get so turned around that you lose track of what you care about and why, sweet Sagittarius. This week will present you with choices, and if you aren’t clear about your motivations, you may get overwhelmed and not know which shiny thing to chase. Stay true to your heart. Align yourself with what brings you joy and does the most good, and you won’t miss out on anything that you need.

Capricorn

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Abundance isn’t about having lots of things. To have true abundance, you need to actually feel it. When you focus on what you might lose, then it’s almost like you never truly have a thing. Look around your life, Cappy, and consider the bounty that you have. Be grateful for your health, the love in your life, your possessions, or whatever you value. Next, align yourself with the knowledge that you can improve those things over time. Enjoy what you have in this moment, my love.

Aquarius

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

You don’t need to know what comes next, or why that thing happened yesterday — the story may be compelling, but it’s not as important as how you choose to respond to it all, Aquarius. If you can move away from the thinking that things have to happen tit for tat, you can actually be more efficient in how your use your energy. You determine your actions, how you engage with your obsessions and your dreams. Don’t look for blame — look within.

Pisces

Feb. 19-March 20

If you’ve been burning yourself out lately, it’s on you to name your limits and enforce them. Stop waiting for others to agree with you, or to see things from your vantage point. It’s OK to go your own way, even if that means walking alone for some time. You have agency, and this is the time to use it, and to deal head-on with your fears and hopes for your life and the world around you, Pisces.

Aries

March 21-April 19

The role that fear plays in your life is really important, sweet Aries. This week, find ways to respect your fears without indulging them and making them worse. Allow space for what you don’t know to unfold, and try to parse what feels bad from what actually is bad for you. Here’s some homework: ask for help when you need it, take breaks to check in with yourself, and no catastrophizing! Strive to manage your feels with patience and strength.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

When you’ve taken in too much mixed information it can lead to you feeling confused, demoralized, and unsure of what to do with yourself. This week calls for patience, Taurus. It’s unclear what’s coming for you, and you may even be coming to a new understanding of past events — so when the past and the future are both out of your hands, all you have is the present. Put all of your self-care tools to work and strive to do your best in the here and now, my love.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

The ego needs balance. When you feel good about yourself it’s easier to be clear about your aims, direct yourself in a way that works, and even to be responsive to the world around you. When you feel utterly down on yourself you can get stuck in inactivity, or worse, become a tyrant that feels entitled to everything, because nothing feels good. Seek balance so that you don’t find yourself needing to work off an ego hangover. Transform your inner ego into a friend you can rely on this week.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Make it your mission to find evidence of your own strength, Moonchild. You are a force to be reckoned with, and this week it’s time to stop comparing yourself to others, to where you want to be, or where you once were, and to embrace the person that you are in the here and now. It’s only by embracing this moment and your place in it that you can determine the healthiest boundaries for you to take on, which will in turn free you up to do what you’re meant to do.

Leo

July 23-Aug. 22

When you can’t figure things out it’s often a sign to slow down. The path to growth and expansion sometimes involves retraction — in order to have the life you want to live, you have to first strive to become the person you want to be. This week is about that striving. Don’t look so far outside of yourself that you miss out on the most simple and impactful source of change – you. Gather your strength and with it will come your sense of purpose, Leo.

Virgo

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Open up and let go, Virgo. There’s no stopping progress, and that’s as it should be, even if it doesn’t feel like it. This week will challenge you to become the person that you want to be, but the weight and stories of the past will try to keep you as you were. Be sincere, Virgo. Even if things move slower or in a more circuitous way than you’d prefer, this is the time to be present and to focus on your efforts and not fixate on the outcome.
