This weekly horoscope puts us in the middle of eclipse season, which means that the cosmic energy is intense. However, we're essentially in the eye of the storm, and we have a second to relax in between the eclipses. Do something kind for others and nice for yourself with this downtime. After all, everyone deserves to get a friendly dose of TLC. Pay the good vibes forward.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

Last week’s eclipse exposed a lot of secrets that you wish you hadn’t found out. Now that you’re in the know, you are unsure about whether you can forgive and forget. Before you go down the rabbit hole and analyze every element of your friendships, you must realize that you’re a relationship-oriented person and will most likely decide to work through the issues. In time, you’ll move forward, but you'll likely be dwelling on your problems until then. You’re allowed to have your moment.

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

You’re great at setting boundaries, but you’re not the best at respecting the ones others have set. You might get a tad pushy this week when your crew isn't giving you enough attention. Taking a few minutes to respond to a text might not be a big deal to them, but it’ll seem like a lifetime to you and create conflict because you require an immediate answer. Try to give your friends a break and realize that they’re not purposely ignoring you. They could be busy at that moment — so don’t stress too hard about it.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

All of your hard efforts are paying off. For the first time in a while, life is coming up Sagittarius. Still, don't get too sure of yourself right now. Remember that you must manifest your goals in order to bring them to fruition and that doesn’t happen overnight. For now, it’s best to reap the benefits of your hard work and be optimistic about the future. Luck is on your side, so there is nothing you can’t achieve if you put 100% of your energy into it.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

You’re torn between spending time with your family or your friends this week, since they're both yearning for your attention. You shouldn’t feel bad for doing what you want, but it’s important to keep in mind that you should give love to your family. They’ll be the ones who are always by your side, so don't take them for granted. You could incorporate both parties together and see how they mesh (fingers crossed). The struggle is real. Hopefully, you can work it out and find a middle ground. You're just too popular!

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

Now that your peers are electing a new student government, you're thinking about running for office. It's not about power (although having access to a hall pass 24/7 is nice), rather the ability to make necessary changes at school. Truth be told, you’re aware that many of your classmates desire a more progressive educational atmosphere. Since you're extremely politically minded and a humanitarian, this could be your chance to make your school a better place. Run with that platform to encourage your schoolfellows to vote for you on the upcoming election. Hopefully they will listen and believe in your incentives.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

The week ahead urges you to step out of your comfort zone. This means that the stars want you to try something new and embrace a fresh attitude. Rather than fully taking on a different endeavor, you are currently opting to dip your toes in the water to bring forth transformation. Even if you choose to minimally veer from your regular daily routine by taking an offbeat road to school or try a new flavor of ice cream, that's something. Also, when it comes to your life and decision making, this will serve as a tool to help you embrace change and growth.

Aries

March 21 - April 19

There is a thin line between love and disdain, and you're currently living right in the middle of it. You want to believe in the good of others, but it's only a matter of time before they let you down again — putting your love life on repeat like a broken record. You’ll have to ask yourself how much more heartache must you want to endure before ultimately deciding to let go and start anew. Lean on your friends for support this week. They’ll listen and dry your tears, reminding you that you're not alone throughout this intense emotional breakup.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

There have been so many ups and downs in your relationship, so you're waiting for the other shoe to drop now that you're having an upswing. Try to enjoy these moments as they last and don't worry about the future. It's crucial to remain present in order to feel the love and to remember the awesome elements of your partnership. Use this week to rediscover each other — like a first date. Hopefully, you will become realigned with your S.O. and want to start fresh — only if you're willing to begin again and let go of past issues.

Gemini

May 21 - June 20

It’s been a long time since you’ve allowed yourself the gift of R & R. Your FOMO has you attending every activity, party, and get together possible. However, you currently need some time out from the social scene to avoid experiencing burn out. Rather than being everywhere this week, give yourself a chance to catch up on shuteye and treat yourself to self-care. That way you’ll be ready to take the lead and attend every Halloween celebration on the 31st and won’t need to rest, as you will be fully energized and buzzing around town

Cancer

June 21 - July 22

You’re beginning to develop feelings for a close friend and you’re unsure whether or not the sentiment is mutual. Instead of going around the issue and asking friends to do a vibe check, do the dirty work yourself to avoid miscommunications from happening. Be slick in how you suss out the matter. Drop hints that you like them when asking about who they're crushing on or reciprocate their flirtatious manner. It won't be long until they confess their emotions — which could lead them towards wanting to elevate the relationship into something more while cuffing season is in full swing.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

Whenever you have news to tell, you immediately post it on social media. The issue is that some of your friends may be a little bit jealous because their life isn’t progressing in the same way as yours. That doesn’t mean you should hold back. If they have an issue and make a rude comment, understand that it’s more about the way they feel about themselves than about you. Respond with compassion and empathy to avoid an argument. Once things turn around for them, your squad will be more supportive and celebrate your wins.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22

We all carry our own personal baggage, but you scrutinize yourself over every little thing you feel that you’ve done wrong — even if you have not. You are not the one to blame in these situations. Since you are very forgiving and kind hearted, people tend to take advantage of your sweetness. Therefore, it’s important for you to realize that all of the emotions you’re carrying on your shoulder and in your heart are not your fault. Others are projecting their own insecurities onto you. Don’t let their moods affect the way you care for yourself. Be gentle with yourself this week.
