After a flirty weekend, this week opens with an intense Scorpio Moon. You can expect Scorpio Moons to feel like rough waters, especially with Pluto in Aquarius adding storm winds to the choppy emotional waves. Pluto stays in one sign for over a decade! You’re in the shadow of autumn and spooky season, with the annual shift into longer nights underway. As the veil thins and the world prepares for winter hibernation, take advantage of the last long afternoons full of golden light to manifest the best winter ever. Let’s see what this week means for your sign.
Read for your rising sign! You can also read for your sun sign if that’s what you know best.
Monday opens with a bit of intensity, Aries. Some lingering resentment might come to the surface, or you may find that your attitude is just a little sour. Sometimes we just wake up on the wrong side of the bed! Remember your intention from the New Moon? Tie up any loose ends around putting that intention into action—this is a week for ironing out the wrinkles. Your vitality is shifting with the changing light of the seasons, and you can feel the pumpkin spice adventures loading.
Tauruses are absolutely allergic to drama. As the zodiac’s resident “super chill guy,” Taurus will always try to keep things feeling relaxed and easygoing. This week is going to test your infinite patience, my good dudes. We all know your crash-out is valid, Taurus. But the cosmos is asking you to take a page from Libra’s playbook. Take a breath, take a lap, and come back ready to discuss the situation eloquently. Use your natural charm, pragmatism, and simple honesty to defuse rather than destroy.
Gemini, what do you desire? How is it different from what you once desired? These questions have been slipping through your mind and heart lately. If you took our advice last week and engaged with the real world to follow the thread of inspiration, you may now have a clearer vision of what desire, creativity, and joy mean to you. Keep following that thread and using your natural curiosity to weave pleasure into your daily life.
You can’t really fake it till you make it when it comes to pleasure and romance, Cancer. You’re about as mysterious as a sunlit beach on a summer day. As Venus moves through Scorpio, you’re tasked with being protective of your passion and play. What you desire, how you have fun, and the ways creativity shows up in your life are routes to self-discovery and self-mastery—not through denial, but by sinking your claws in deep.
Leo, the setting of a story is just as important as its main character. The environment shapes how the hero thinks, moves, connects, and feels throughout their story arc. This week is a chance for you to come closer to yourself through your environment. Take some time to sink into the tapestry of sensations that fills the world right outside your front door. How do your relationships mold the way you think about your neighborhood and community? How do they shape the way you think about the world and your place in it?
Virgo, you may notice your attention drifting toward daydreams of security and strong foundations—the building blocks of self-confidence and self-worth. If your money were intangible, where would your wealth come from? The energy this week feels like a fairy tale in which the good-hearted cobbler sticks to their moral center and isn’t tricked into destitution by the clever goblin. This isn’t an invitation to be suspicious. It’s a precise understanding that your worth amounts to more than what’s in your bank account.
Libra, you often hold the balance between convention and innovation, iconic and cringe, whimsical and boring. How weird can you get with your creativity while still feeling powerful? You can be sensitive to criticism and to feeling misunderstood, Libra, which can hold you back from expressing your own brand of freakazoid. This is a week to be a little braver and more experimental when it comes to self-expression.
Venus moves into your sign and is preparing for her retrograde next month, Scorpio, so stay sharp and snatched. Be mindful of what comes up around your relationships and connections, your pleasure and passion, and your finances as the Moon meets Venus. These themes will come up again, and you like to be prepared for all types of weather, Scorpio. This is a great week to explore your personal style and deepen your intimacy with your friends and partners.
The week begins on a sleepy note, Sagittarius. Don’t push yourself too hard on Monday and Tuesday. Every great explorer knows when to take a few days of rest and recuperation before continuing. You’ll get a big boost of energy by Wednesday afternoon, and it might be fun to play around with luck manifestation. Do your favorite lucky ritual, buy that lottery ticket, and see what happens. If playing with luck isn’t your speed, it’s also a great day to make tangible progress on one of your personal goals. Make the phone call you’ve been putting off. Take your car in for some well-earned maintenance. Finally, unpack from your last international adventure. Future you will thank you for the work you’re doing to take care of yourself.
Capricorn, pay your dues honestly, and the dividends will be worth the cost. If you’ve been grinding your way toward your goals, it’s time to call in some owed favors and cash out some old accounts. There’s an element of natural consequences to the energy this week. Look at your work, actions, and behavior toward others with an honest eye before trying to withdraw any social or professional capital. You only get back as much as you put in.
Aquarius, as you’ve started to attract more attention in your career, you may begin to feel a bit paranoid. Having so many eyes on you and your work can feel like too bright a spotlight for your more lone-wolf tendencies. Adorn yourself with evil eye charms and lucky rabbits’ feet to deflect any gloomy geese sent your way. Make sure to protect your sacred solo time away from the world, too.
Pisces, this is a week to weigh the pros and cons of your current finances and consider how your spending reflects your priorities. It’s a great week for patient, precise deliberation about how you spend your money and how that spending relates to your connections with other people and your morals. Do you find yourself daydreaming about a trip, a life upgrade, or a course of study with stars in your eyes while spending all your money on Candy Crush and takeout? If that makes you truly and deeply satisfied, then you have a sense of self rooted in reality. But if there’s friction or tension between who you wish you were and the steps you take to become that person, this is the week to weigh the cost.
