Weekly Horoscope: October 17–23, 2022
This week is packed with wise astrological energy that can teach you many valuable lessons about yourself — if you pay attention, that is. The peace-seeking Libra sun (our planetary confidence builder) is present until the last day. So, for the most part, you’ll be looking to keep your interactions fair, lowkey, and pleasant.
An exception to this comes with Wednesday’s tense square between lovely Venus (the universe’s resident vixen who also happens to be visiting balanced Libra) and transformational Pluto (the shadowy dwarf planet), when you’ll be willing to do whatever it takes to gain the upper hand. Control becomes very important to you during this planetary interaction, but being petty definitely doesn’t look good on you.
On Saturday, serious Saturn (the planet of authority) goes direct while partnered with airy Aquarius, which should help you move toward your goals while getting the chance to apply the important lessons you’ve been learning. The more unique and innovative your strategies and actions are now, the more successful you will be.
Two big cosmic jumps happen on Sunday as the sun and Venus move into intensely emotional Scorpio, pulling up some of those feelings you’ve tried to bury deep inside your subconscious. Of course, you only trust a handful of people with your most intimate secrets now but letting them out can be cathartic. This is your chance to rise like a phoenix from the ashes and re-emerge better and stronger than you were before.
Your Zodiac Sign’s Weekly Horoscope
Aries
You love a good success story, especially if it involves an underdog — which you tend to be a lot of the time, Aries. Although you do get in your own way a little too much, sometimes uncontrollable circumstances are to blame for the bad outcomes you experience. This week, though, you get what you give. So by the end of the week, you won’t have any excuses. You either find a way to get that W, or you don’t. The ball is completely in your court.

Taurus
With the sun spending the majority of the week in fellow Venus-ruled Libra, you’re digging the general vibe. You don’t let a lot of stuff bother you, but when it does, it really gets under your skin. With this subtle energy hitting you in your house of criticism, it’s time to loosen up a little bit, Taurus. What if you let this one thing slide, just this once? Putting your grudges on hold might be the key to happiness and success, at least for now.

You’re accurately labeled one of the biggest control freaks of the zodiac, so when things slip out of your grasp this week it could feel like the biggest catastrophe ever.

When in doubt this week, Aquarius, just shut your eyes and take a leap of faith! The thoughtful yet indecisive Libra sun is traveling through your house of adventure, so your best results come from letting things happen organically and unravel spontaneously.

Pisces
Change is in the air, Pisces. Can you feel it? You’re an introvert at heart, but as a mutable sign, you can also get behind transformational energy when the time is right — and this is it, right here, right now. With the Libra sun transiting your regenerative eighth house, there’s no use resisting its cathartic energy anyway. Situations and people come and go through your life like waves this week. Some will leave you refreshed, and others will knock you on your butt, but they will all be memorable in their own way.
