My Stars Say

Your Week in Astrology: October 17 - October 24

Like all reasonable and rational people everywhere, the only way to properly kick off your week is with a horoscope to predict your trials, tribulations, mishaps, and successes!  Have an important meeting this week? Gunning for a promotion? Going to profess your love to your crush? Fear not, as we’ve got you covered on all fronts with our weekly astrology reading. Enter our mystical world of stars and astros…

Aries

Take this week to unwind and focus on yourself- find your inner chi! Center and get back to the person you were before all this chaos and stress. Don’t allow other people’s problems and woes to be burdened on you. Make sure that anyone who confides in you that you don’t take it to heart, and only lend an ear! Make sure not to share your plans and ideas too much this week, or you risk being copied. The second half of the week you can focus on making plans that excite you for next week; whether that means work, or play, or fun dates- plan things that make you smile and look forward to the next day! Let loose and focus on the fun side of your Aries! Not you being the life of the party. 

Taurus

The first half of this week you have to focus on the important things: finish those deadlines, make those appointments, and get your affairs in order because the second half of the week will be more hectic than expected! While it’s good to be busy, make sure to take time in between to meditate and take the space you need. A lot will be asked of you, and you’re more than capable to step up to the plate, but you can’t let it fog your mind. 

Last week, your relationships were at the forefront-and this week, we see the cards as they landed faced up. Say yes to the dates. Say yes to the romance. You like to be wooed, and you know what you want- let your inner romantic guide you and open you up to new sensations. Don’t be afraid to dive headfirst into love. Did someone say hard launch?

Gemini

Though you may be tired from the tumultuous week you had, you’ve taken your weekend and you are ready, Gemini! For no one is as quick on their feet and quick with their head as you- use duality this week to your advantage. You’re smart and resourceful, and that’s gonna help you out of a few pickles this week. Whether you’re helping a colleague with a particularly tricky problem, or doling out advice to a friend who just doesn’t seem to get it, use compassion and patience this week, because it will be necessary. It’s one of the few weeks where using both sides of your personality will be both an asset and an ally. Name a more iconic duo!

As with last week, caution with money is of the utmost importance. You’re generous, but not frivolous, so remember that. Take care of your mental health this week as the past few days have been hard on both your mind and your spirit, and you’re not done yet! Though if anyone can take on a busy week being pulled in all directions, it’s you.

Cancer

The stars are on your side this week as you greet it with a smile and a laissez-faire that is contagious! This week is filled with fun activities, romantic gestures, and dramatic overtures. You can afford to be charitable this week with your time, your advice, and your wisdom, as this is your week to shine. While some people will take that as approval to coast through the week, not you! You will have your fair share of offers and work opportunities, but you can and should take them into consideration whilst still basking in the glow of all this week has in store for you.

These last few weeks you’ve put in the time and work, and now it’s your turn to reap the rewards- don’t be shy to be your brightest self! Fall is here, and who doesn’t love a spontaneous autumn trip! Whether you’re in a relationship, or looking to find your special someone, this is the week to get out there and make the most of the luck that’s bestowed upon your sign. Hot girl autumn, here you come!

Leo

This week will be the time to hunker down and get down to business! Of course you love your tlc, Leo, but this is not the week to drop the ball! Use that creative energy and mind to your advantage as a work opportunity will arise. Fear not, though while it may seem overwhelming, you know your craft and it’s that confidence that will guide you this week. Steer clear of drama and theatrics, because you will be tempted. Others will question your methods and try to get a rise out of you- stay focused and clear headed. This isn’t pride rock- do not let the lion roar.

You have some especially good stars coming up in the following weeks, so use the quiet weeks to build the foundation for all you have in store. You tend to burn bright and fast, but this is one of those weeks you must be slow and steady- you are on the precipice of something great, don’t let your temper or ego get the best of you.

Virgo

This is the week for you, Virgo! The stars are shining down on you to make some great changes and choices. You are at a crossroads, and like Robert Frost, you must make a choice! It’s easy to let yourself fall back and use that big brain of yours to get by, but this is not the time! You have all the luck on your side, so whatever you set out to start this week will reap in heaves in the coming months- or even years! So, prepare and build the empire only someone with your meticulous diligence could envision.

This week also brings romance in the form of an unplanned suitor! Feel and look your best this week, as you never know at what turn you’ll meet your other half. Venus is smiling down upon you, so why not use this generous energy to cozy up to someone over a hot toddy in a dimly lit library bar, waxing poetic and laughing into the night. This week is yours to seize, Virgo- you got this!

Libra

Surprise surprise, this week you will find unexpected romance! The stars will align and allow you to see someone in your life in a more romantic way. Lean into this new flirty adventure and you will be surprised by the favorable outcome. 

Be careful with making any hasty decisions at work. Just because you’re feeling stagnant right now does not mean that you should start making decisions without sufficient rationalizing. Don’t let your impatience get the best of you! Instead, vent with your coworkers and spend time with them to make your work experience more enjoyable. I mean, is there anything better than a workplace gossip sesh? And if anyone knows about gossiping, i mean, socializing, it’s you!

Scorpio

Be careful about who you trust this week. You will find some acquaintances around you may be jealous of your recent successes and try to manipulate you to get out on top. Stay close to those who you know, who you trust, and will always be on your side. Keep your circle small and close. No new friends? That’s your motto for the week as tensions arise and rivalries come to the surface.

The past couple of weeks have been hectic for you, so this week is the perfect time to sit back, relax and relish in all your hard work being done. It’s a time to wait in the weeds, not the time to strike. Take that spa day or a chill TV marathon day- just focus on you so you can continue succeeding. If you don’t, you will get overwhelmed and the consequences could be dire. No one is better at a long game than you, Scorpio!

Sagittarius

Stop taking yourself so seriously, sag! Chill the f out- all this negative energy is not what’s going to propel you forward this week. Have a sense of humour about all the problems that come your way and you will brush them off with ease. Don’t sweat the small stuff, think about the bigger picture. 

You will be a social butterfly this week, making friends wherever you go. Make sure to keep in touch with these contacts as they can help you succeed financially and at the workplace. Keep networking and don’t be afraid to introduce yourself with confidence. You worked hard to get here!

Capricorn

Your inherent creative spirit will shine this week and you will be full of new ideas. Albert Einstein is shaking. Now is a great time to start a new hobby or side hustle while your creative juices are flowing. Make sure you use this time to hunker down and get to work, or else you risk losing these perspectives and becoming inert in your professional life.

In terms of your interpersonal life, you will have some issues with your partner or someone close to you. Try taking a step back and listening to their side of the story. It may surprise you that you are being a little too hard on them. Give everyone you interact with the grace that you expect from them. You never know what battles the other person is struggling with.

Aquarius

This week you will be tempted to compare yourself to others and might find yourself even getting a little jealous. Remind yourself that everyone is on their own journey and stay focused on yours and yours only. Swim in your lane, aqua.

Time to take care of yourself will appear by the weekend. The astrological picture of the end of this week does not exclude romantic acquaintances or the appearance of a shadow from the past in your life. Correspondence will help open a second wind. Another source of inspiration for many of you can be creativity, sports, intellectual tasks.

Pisces

Pisces will not have to struggle with major problems this week. The stars indicate that the creative potential of your zodiac sign will increase significantly. This, in turn, will become a motive to discover new solutions to old problems. You don't have to invest your time in just one thing. Act on multiple fronts at once.

At the end of the week, it is not advised for Pisces to run away from resolving issues in personal relationships. The clearer you communicate, the lower the likelihood of jealousy, resentment and misunderstandings. Pisces, if possible, avoid people who are jealous of your success. Communication with them will be toxic and obviously will not contribute any positive vibes. Don’t be afraid to hit that block button!
