Are you ready to rock? This weekly horoscope is bringing a lot of intense energy our way. The first eclipse of the season occurs on October 14. The solar eclipse in Libra is making us reassess our relationships, leading to breakups, shake ups, strengthening bonds, reconciliations, or recommitments. The eclipse is pushing us towards who and what we love most — which could and should be ourselves.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

One way or another, you have to decide on how to proceed with your significant other. The past weeks have been full of many ups and downs, most of which have destabilized your sense of peace. The reason you're holding on is because you are scared of change. You would rather be in this continuous state of limbo than make strides towards attaining joy. If you were to let go, it would bring happiness to your life. Consider making choices that will have a positive impact on your heart. Don’t be afraid to walk away from something that isn't working.

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

“🎶Got a secret. Can you keep it?🎶” You’re sitting on classified information about a frenemy, and you want to expose them. However, you don’t know if it’s a wise decision to share their clandestine information. We all have skeletons in our closets — especially you. Would you like it if someone shared your private information? No. Think about how you would feel if you were in their shoes and squash the gossip. Doing so might make you an ally and bring you closer together. No one can hide a scandalous secret — except for you, Scorpio.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

Although you usually do your own thing and don’t care what others think about you, the week ahead is making you seek validation from your peers. You believe that your squad must approve of everything you do — ranging from who you’re dating to what extracurricular activities you’re doing. As a result, you are placing their input on a pedestal instead of honoring your own opinions. Stop trying to please everyone and focus on what makes you happy. Remember, no one’s opinions should matter except for your own. You’re a born leader, not a follower. Embrace your autonomy.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

Life isn't a competition — although sometimes it feels like it is. When a friend vocalizes their desire to emulate your Halloween costume, it may rub you the wrong way and annoy you. But, it really doesn't matter if you each go as your version of a character you both admire. Think of it as the ultimate form of flattery. Your pal might want to upstage you or say they thought of the idea first. Rather than throw shade back at them, move on from the situation and let them worry about the ramifications of emulating your vibe from your crew.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

The path you’re on is changing due to a newfound interest that is reigniting your passion for education. Your love of knowledge is opening a connection to universal wisdom and truths. As a result, you will want to explore all of these areas in your studies. Besides switching your major, you might start a club on campus that discusses these topics. Not only will you be able to learn more, but it’ll be interesting to have other perspectives from people other than yourself. You can debate your findings, beliefs, and philosophies, which is one of your favorite things to do.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

Attaining intimacy in a relationship doesn’t happen fast and requires you both to build trust together. If you’re in a current partnership or crushing on someone, you should try connecting with them. Have late night talks in which you share your hopes and dreams. The cosmic energy is ripe for romance, so use it to your advantage and to establish the soulful connection you desire with your boo. Allow them to enchant your heart, and don’t be afraid to fall deep in the rapture. As you’ll begin see and experience, this is the best part of falling in love.

Aries

March 21 - April 19

Your friendships are shifting this week, which means that you're probably putting a few members of your squad on ice for a bit until things cool down with them. Instead of being confrontational and asserting your emotions, you're opting to take the chill route to avoid drama. They've hurt your feelings and poked fun at you one too many times. Now, you want to live without the regular heartache and the emotional disappointment in your everyday life. Those who have proven to be good pals will make the cut and offer you support while you navigate your relationships.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

Since your daily vibe isn't as thrilling as it was before the semester started, it’s a sign to shake up your mundane routine.:Take a different road to school and see what you discover, try a new type of autumnal pumpkin beverage, or do yoga in the morning instead of the evening. Any little thing you can do to change up the energy in your day-to-day life will greatly benefit you because you’re looking for something a little different from your usual.

Gemini

May 21 - June 20

Breaking up is hard to do — especially when your S.O. is a BFF. Luckily, you have amazing people and friends around you who’ll offer you TLC in this time of need. They’ll even listen to you talk endlessly about why and how your relationship went wrong ad nauseum for days. It will take time to mend your heart, which is why you should allow yourself to feel all the feels. When you’re ready to step out of your comfort zone, you’ll be able to meet someone new. Until then, take care of yourself and give your heart a rest.

Cancer

June 21 - July 22

You are being pulled in two different directions. Rewatching your favorite Halloween themed movies like Hocus Pocus and Beetlejuice is making you want to stay at home, nestled up in a warm blanket with hot apple cider and caramel popcorn. But, you are feeling FOMO from not attending some of your favorite autumnal festivities with your friends. Getting the motivation to hang out with your crew and leave your couch is hard, which is why you should bring the party to your house for a movie night (with your parent's approval) and insist on an only sweatsuit dress code.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

Your frustrations could reach a high if you continue to post personal stuff on social media. It’s ok to let those who are in your circle know what’s going on in your life, but you shouldn’t share your emotions with the world — since many of the people watching and reading the content you put out there don’t have your back. The news at school travels fast and everyone will know your business. While you like to be the center of attention, you don’t want your peers chattering about you. Limit what you’re posting to maintain some privacy.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22

No one is perfect — not even you. So, take some of the weight off your shoulders and limit the amount of pressure you're putting on yourself and others. Set the bar at a reasonable and attainable place. Then, you won't feel as though you're constantly being let down by the same people over and over again. If you believe that having boundaries can help you lessen the need for control in these situations, so be it. Whatever you choose, think about how it’ll positively impact the way you treat others and the outcome it will have on your relationships.
