When the last solar eclipse of the year arrives in determined Scorpio on Tuesday, we are invited to embrace change. Solar eclipses can often serve as a starting point for new adventures, so get ready to start moving in a different direction, even if it’s one you may not have chosen. Once you become aware of what is changing, act quickly and start writing your next chapter with an open heart and mind. A fresh slate is yours for the taking.
As Mercury articulates an energetic trine to Mars on Wednesday or Thursday (depending on your time zone), we will receive a great burst of energy, allowing our minds and bodies to work together in perfect harmony to achieve our goals. You will want to be strategic about how you spend this time. Later this week, Mars will station itself in retrograde and continue moving in the opposite direction until January 2023, making this a critical time to iron out the final details before our drive wanes.
When expansive Jupiter – still retrograde – re-enters sensitive Pisces on Thursday or Friday, we will have the opportunity to assess any late spring issues that may need modification. The planet of luck and abundance is dignified in Pisces, and its presence in this mutable water sign can help us soften our approach to others and gain more control over our situation. While other retrogrades can cause frustration, Jupiter’s backward movement presents us with a brilliant opportunity to be grateful and present.
We’ll need all the grace we can muster, as talkative Mercury places power-hungry Pluto on Thursday as well, which could create the perfect storm for a dramatic eruption. Protecting yourself from unnecessary conflict will be crucial to maintaining your peace during this time, so try to avoid heavy topics and work alone when possible.
On Saturday, we’ll be ready to start investigating the unknown as Mercury makes its way into the Scorpio secret. When the planet of communication passes through this fixed water sign, it encourages us to sharpen our minds and engage in deep conversations. Superficial subjects will have no interest. Just be careful not to get tunnel vision, as it can be easy to get too intense or too focused on an issue or person during this transit.
Come Sunday, as the fiery stations of Mars retrograde in shifty Gemini, you may find it harder than usual to motivate yourself. When the red planet moves in reverse, it often influences our bodies to follow suit. Work with this energy giving yourself a chance to rest and recharge. If you can also release anger as it arises and avoid bottling up your emotions, you’ll be on the right track.
Here is your weekly horoscope for Monday, October 24, 2022.
Ram
Dig deep, Aries. If you’ve recently sought to create more meaningful and joyful experiences for yourself, starting a practice that helps you rediscover your sense of wonder might help you get there. Shed your armor to see the world with fresh eyes. Mid-week, you will be perfectly positioned to take on your responsibilities. Seize this opportunity – you can use it to conquer your toughest tasks. Then, if you notice your energy dwindling towards the end of the week, turn inward and focus on resetting. Listen carefully to both your body and your mind.
Bull
Beautiful new beginnings await you, Taurus. This week will see love of all kinds come into your life – but you must be ready to make room for these relationships to grow. Focus on finding balance in your relationships with others. As the weekend approaches, you may find that your spiritual side begins to deplete, creating a disconnect between your mind and physical body. If you can use this time to refocus your attention on your most meaningful goals, you may emerge with a new perspective on how to pursue your life’s purpose.
Gemini
Put yourself first, Gemini. If you’ve worked hard this year, it’s time to reward yourself for your efforts. Whether you’re single or attached, you might find yourself revisiting an emotional issue that you thought was resolved around the middle of this week. Pause as you process the information coming your way – and remember that you can always lean on your gentle heart to guide you to a resolution. As the weekend approaches, you may notice that your tendency to investigate and seek the truth becomes insatiable. As you dive into deep issues with intensity, seek out like-minded people to help you explore these new areas.
Cancer
Ready to do some magic, Cancer? As this week begins, your potential for creating new beginnings will be limitless. To make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime moment, try experimenting with art, stretching your imagination, and even unleashing your inner flirtation. Towards the end of the week, however, you may not feel as bright as you do at work. If you’ve been putting in extra hours hoping to gain recognition, it may be time to retire. With Mars retrograde over the next few months, you have the opportunity to heal your body and mind. Focus on how you can lighten your load to recoup both your time and your energy.
Leo
Your home is your kingdom, Leo. And at the top of this week, you might want to explore new ideas to improve it. Think about what kind of changes will really boost your happiness and write down the three adjectives that best describe the atmosphere you would like to create. This practice can help you eliminate anything that doesn’t fit your overall vision. Mid-week, you might find yourself at odds with loved ones about how you spend your money in shared spaces. Keep in mind that the harder you push, the more likely they are to push back – and it’s best not to make a decision until you can see eye to eye.
Virgin
Do you want to communicate better, Virgo? Try adopting a new approach to your interactions with others this week – it could help you improve your methods and even strengthen your powers of persuasion. In the middle of the week, a family matter that you thought was settled may reappear in your life, but there is no need to be afraid. This will ultimately give you the chance to heal emotional wounds. Then, if you start to feel weak on the weekend, take it as a sign to take a step back and recharge your batteries. It’s important to find safe spaces where you can collect your thoughts and protect your energy, especially as Mars moves in the opposite direction over the next few months.
Balance
Are you ready to live a life of abundance, Libra? If you can establish an intention to create a better relationship with your finances at the start of the week, you might end up stumbling upon a profitable new venture. Still, you may find that your big-hearted mind feels a little drained during this time. Usually Libras lead the charge when it comes to romance, but over the next few months it will be important to prioritize your own healing process to allow your love to burn brighter and stronger. Remember to focus on rebuilding your own happiness before trying to please others.
Scorpio
Who are you really do you want to be, Scorpio? At the beginning of the week, you will have the opportunity to begin a transformation that will change your life. When making decisions about how you would like to grow, think about the qualities you most admire in those you love; Writing them down will help you remember your priorities. Over the weekend, it will be crucial for you to slow down and take a mental break as Mars begins its retrograde motion. Over the next few months, ideas will take the place that action once held in our lives. You will need to be ready to absorb new information – it will be essential to achieving your goals.
Sagittarius
Looking for a fresh perspective, Sagittarius? Perhaps you would like to venture into the world of the invisible to discover hidden truths and better understand your dreams and emotions. Before embarking on this journey, write down the mysteries you want to solve. Soon you will have your answers. During this time, you will be blessed with much midweek patience, grace, and love, which will make it easier for you to empathize with the world. You’ll want to hold on to that sense of compassion, because a hint of extra intensity in your relationships could test you towards the end of the week.
Capricorn
Want to expand your social circle, Capricorn? The start of this week could be the perfect time to start making new friends, so get out of your comfort zone and strike up a conversation with someone you’d like to get to know better. Connecting with people who inspire you could even open up exciting possibilities for your future. At the end of the week, be kind to yourself if you don’t accomplish everything you set out to do. Achieving your goals can be difficult if you carry too much weight in other areas of your life. Being honest about your needs with your loved ones will help you heal your emotional wounds and get back to your normal activities.
Aquarius
You control your own destiny, Aquarius. As you begin to move towards your goals this week, meditate on how you can channel your creative energy to stand out from the crowd. And if you happen to discover certain training, studies or experiences necessary to achieve your desires during this time, remember that it is never too late to start moving in the right direction. Towards the end of the week, people may seem very unpleasant and you may run into conflict at work. You may be tempted to try to convey your ideas to others, but in this case it is better to hold your breath, invoke your grace and be the bigger person.
Pisces
What is your mind hungry for, Pisces? A range of topics and destinations can pique your interest, but you have to be smart about where you focus your energy. Think carefully about where you would like to transport yourself, physically or mentally, to set the stage for a rewarding experience. In the meantime, you’ll be wise to be more careful with your money in the coming months as Mars turns retrograde. At first, this frugal approach may seem restrictive, but it could actually help you overcome some of your fears about your money and find creative solutions for your budget.
