This weekly horoscope is a spooky one! Now that Mercury retroshade (the two weeks before the retrograde begins) is in full gear, Halloween will be a total scream. Plans might get derailed, former loves might reappear when we least expect it, and we may wear the same costume as someone else. Use the spooky vibe to your advantage by ghosting your ex and give everyone something to pumpkin about.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
Being one of the zodiac's fixed signs means it’s difficult to give up control and go with the flow. However, you need to lessen your grip on things to have a more positive outlook. Once you let others be freer, you’ll be able to comprehend that you can trust them without monitoring their every move. It’ll be refreshing to break out of this dynamic and have more confidence in them and yourself. Before you track their every move, think about how much energy you’re giving to them and not to yourself. Whatever they’re doing isn’t worth the internal effort.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21

All that matters is that you did your best and put your best foot forward, even if your friends press you to behave a certain way. Whether you decide to take their advice is up to you. The bottom line is that you can choose your path — so do it!

February 19 - March 20
The vampires are out this weekend, so wear garlic or a spritz of Florida water to ensure they don't take a bite out of your energy or give you the evil eye.
