Weekly Horoscopes October 29-November 4
Untame your horses and roll the top down, astro babes. Halloween week in the cosmos wants you to unleash your wildness and fall back in love with the mysterious, unfolding adventure.
Before it goes retrograde on November 16th, Mercury enters Sagittarius’ runways, and bonfires up our belief systems that can only be built from experience. Beyond inheritance and schooling, what’s your credo? Crank up your personal playlists and prepare for wide open shifts in perspective.
With Venus still traveling retrograde, but up from the lava-lit depths of Scorpio and shifting into Libra’s sculpture garden, it’s a week for romancing the ideal. Connect with the vision boards and pedestal aspirations that feel like extensions of your own soul rather than swallowed societal expectations.
And with a sweet meet-and-greet between Jupiter in Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces to round out the mix, the boundaries between pleasure and pain dissolve, and major feelings lead to major healing. Far from frightful, it’s a Halloween week for coming exactly as you are, flipping the lights on your fears, and finding the beauty in any beasties...
1/12SCORPIO :: SCORPIO RISING
Magic Words: My objects of desire reflect my soul’s worth.
Power Moves: What do you really, really want, Scorpio? Queue up the Spice Girls’ classic 90s anthem, and take this week to sit down for a deep, sensual chat with yourself about your core desires. With Mercury amplifying your zone of pleasure and value, you’re standing in front of the metaphorical store window and ready to go on an emo shopping spree. But before you gather up all the goodies your arms can hold, take time to clarify the cravings that actually feel built to last, and tailor-made for the person you’re becoming. Let any baubles reflect your soul’s gold.
2/12SAGITTARIUS :: SAGITTARIUS RISING
Magic Words: My inner voice rises when I shut out the noise.
Power Moves: With Mercury shifting into your sign this week, it’s a powerful moment for connecting to your own message, Sag. Notice how you’re absorbing the information around you, and which relationships and storylines are starting to feel like static that’s muddying the clarity of your mental waters. While it might spark some serious FOMO, or the feeling that you can’t or shouldn’t create this container for yourself, trust that stepping into your cavern is the critical step right now so you can listen in to your own subtle whispers.
3/12CAPRICORN :: CAPRICORN RISING
Magic Words: Nocturnal knowings lead to daybreak awakenings.
Power Moves: As Mercury shifts into your zone of sleepy surrender, it’s a week for getting curious about everything that can’t be efforted by your irrational mind. Notice how much airtime you’ve been giving to everything solar-powered. The to-do lists and goals. What you think you know or how you think it’s always been. And then slowly shift some of your attention to the “lunar” knowings. Intuitive soul hits and synchronicities you just can’t explain. Images that come through in daydreams and night visions. Everything you need to know is contained in what you don’t know, Cappy.
4/12AQUARIUS :: AQUARIUS RISING
Magic Words: Renewal doesn’t have to mean burning it down to the ground.
Power Moves: As Mercury in Sag powers up your zone of radical ruptures and neon innovations, there is major mental renovation happening for you this week, Aquarius. Ways of thinking that have outlived their usefulness are ripe and ready to fall off the tree, and you’re growing a whole new mode of perception. Trust that while this is epic, it doesn’t have to be an all or nothing proposition, or feel like the rug of everything known is getting ripped out from under you. Instead, tune in to the more gentle waves of restructuring. You can swap out the wallpaper without leveling the house.
5/12PISCES :: PISCES RISING
Magic Words: Relishing my wisdom powers my ride.
Power Moves: When was the last time you truly celebrating the long and winding road that is yours and your alone to walk Pisces? This week’s entry of Mercury into your zone of exposure, competence, and general badassery, wants you to remember just how far you’ve come. And to also let it not need to be linear. You’re not moving forwards or backwards. You’re not better or worse than you once were. You’re simply shifting side to side with a shimmy and a shake. Take this time to feast on your own, highly personal experiences, and to share the wisdom you’ve gleaned.
6/12ARIES :: ARIES RISING
Magic Words: I match the speed of my soul’s shifts.
Power Moves: As Mercury enters your open road zone this week, Aries, you’re fit and firing for adventurous shifts in consciousness. But before you unleash this heat on the world, consider the rhythm you want to move to, and all you’ve learned lately about sustainable burns. This doesn’t mean you need to impose a slower pace than you desire, just that you can instinctively uncover different speeds of change and movement as each moment arises, and tend to your body to avoid any burnout. Let yourself be a dancer who is in conversation with the DJ, both responding to the tempo, and shifting the pace when you’re body is truly calling for it.
7/12TAURUS :: TAURUS RISING
Magic Words: Voicing my passion sends shame packing.
Power Moves: With Mercury firing up your zone of subterranean desire and animal instincts, this is a glowing week for uncovering anything you’ve been secreting away, or think of as shameful. While there are things that definitely deserve to be kept for your own treasure chest, there are also some passions you’ve been keeping nameless that deserve to come into the light. Swap some of your usually measured, slow unfolding, for bursts and blurts of any words that need to be said. Naming these desires will liberate more of your life force to expend energy creating rather than concealing.
8/12GEMINI :: GEMINI RISING
Magic Words: Anxiety softens when I share my thoughts.
Power Moves: As your ruler, Mercury, shifts into your opposite sign of Sagittarius, you’re asked to expand any isolationist feelings around your worries and anxieties. This is big, bombastic energy, and you’re being reminded that you can gather around the bonfire to tell your stories in order to lighten the burden. Notice any place you’ve gotten stuck in a spin, or believe that something that’s been buzzing in your brain has never been felt or thought before. You don’t have to carry it all, Gemstone. Talk it up and out, and let these acts of sharing remind you that we’re all in this together.
9/12CANCER :: CANCER RISING
Magic Words: Hitting the pause button creates the oasis.
Power Moves: With Mercury shifting into your zone of solitary wanderings and messages from the body, this week is a delicious mental bathtub packed with rose petals. What needs to be cleared from the cache of your consciousness, Cancer? Trust that you can powerfully press the pause button without having to fear that anything will pass you by. Build a little seaside cabin in your soul where you can retreat, even if it’s just 5 minutes a day of staring out the window, or slipping between the sheets. You are refilling your well right now, Cancer. Let no one question this highly internal voyage.
10/12LEO :: LEO RISING
Magic Words: Poetics are perpetually possible.
Power Moves: As Mercury shifts into your home-base zone of creative treats and sequined leotards, you’re being asked to rediscover the romance in the seemingly ordinary, Glitter Kitten. Remember, sweet one, that this is your reason for being here on earth in the first place. You inject color into black and white, and can mythologize even the most mundane of experiences. Return to this sense of the cinematic, and let everything from chopping veggies to cleaning the tub be lit up with magic and mystery. Let nothing escape your poetry, Leo. Drench the whole world in your sun-kissed drama.
11/12VIRGO :: VIRGO RISING
Magic Words: When emotions flow freely, I can always float on.
Power Moves: With Mercury lighting up your emo zone of shifting waves, this is a week to follow the course of your feelings, Virgo. As a Mercury-ruled babe, sometimes you disconnect with this realm and attempt to analyze rather than staying with an emotion. Just notice any twitchy places where you immediately fly out of the heart space and into the head, and bring yourself back into the experience before you attempt to put it to paper or give it words. Truth is found in pure sensation right now, Virgo. Stay with your own inner tides without needing to explain.
12/12LIBRA :: LIBRA RISING
Magic Words: Straight talk strengthens my self-sufficiency.
Power Moves: You’re getting a double dose of Mercury energy this week, as its entry into Sagittarius lights up your Gemini-ruled zone of throat chakra tune-ups and crystal clear sky writing. Where have you been talking around something or telling little half truths to protect yourself or others? Your connection to your own strength and sense of healthy boundaries stems from your ability to sync up your internal thoughts with your external messaging right now. Know that radical honesty is your bestie, Libra, and that liberating the unsaid is your greatest source of protection.
