Horoscopes: October 14 to 20

Illustration by Ash Cheshire

Aries: Mercury in your seventh house, your house of relationships, inspires a great attention to detail in your relationships. You’re feeling indecisive but it’s because you are carefully measuring your words and your choices. You are able to see both sides of things. It’s not as clear cut as it used to be. Everyone has their own thoughts and feelings. Opposites don’t feel so far away from each other.

Taurus: This week Venus inspires new friendships and deepening relationships. You may not be interested in keeping busy or working too hard at this time. You’re more focused on your mind and your feelings. You’re creating more harmonious relationships and living and working spaces. You follow your pleasure and are okay with being distracted.

Gemini: This week is good for keeping things light and fun. Venus in your fifth house, the house of enjoyment and popularity, sparks great outfit ideas, a generous attitude and social grace. You are deepening your connections in love and feeling like you are getting into a groove. Art and music bring special joy.

Cancer: This week you are reconnecting with your inner child. The sun in your fifth house is creative and playful. You more easily remember how to free your spirit. You are open minded and learning to be more patient with yourself. 

Leo: This week you are building relationships with intellectual, artistic, and fun connections. You enjoy partnered activities and learning with others. Venus in your third house brings the heart and mind together. In love you are amiable and can easily get a good conversation going. 

Virgo: It’s the middle of October and you are looking to upgrade your lifestyle. You feel you have outgrown certain things. You are growing into new areas. Venus in your second house inspires you to prioritize comfort and quality. You invest in yourself more but do so wisely, as you may be on the verge of an overspending spree. In love you are happy to spoil someone special.

Libra: Your ruler continues to align with you in your first house. This means the charm is on and you are focused on self improvement. You may be tempted to think that being good to yourself is always fun and easy, but it’s not all trips to the spa. Sometimes it’s about carrying out your responsibilities to yourself and being honest with yourself. 

Scorpio: This week you are deep in thought despite all your seemingly carefree fun. Since it’s Libra season you’ve certainly been making time to have fun and you have also been enjoying the company of others a lot more than usual. It’s inspired you to open up more. Venus the planet of love in your twelfth house (the house of mental health, privacy, emotions, and dreams) has you reaching into your subconscious and into your past. You may not be ready to articulate or share what you’re feeling but it is a powerful time of self perception and deeper understanding. You may be called upon to lend this deep understanding towards another who needs your help. 

Sagittarius: This week you may benefit from relaxing a little and really putting yourself out there. At times your pride gets in the way of you giving an earnest try at something new. It is also a good time to settle issues at work or in your finances. Venus in your eleventh house brings cooperative energy, problem solving and networking into focus.

Capricorn: Mercury in your tenth house has you thinking a lot about your personal aspirations. You are feeling driven to get more serious about your goals. You seek independence and knowledge that brings confidence. Be sure to avoid getting caught up comparing the successes of others against your own. It can become a fixation that doesn’t motivate you the way you think it will.

Aquarius: This week your goals are loftier than usual. You are just coming down from a retrograde period that had you feeling rather blue. But now, with that post full moon glow in conjunction with Mercury and Venus in your ninth house (the house of duty and moral beliefs) you have a clear vision of how you want your life to look, especially your love life, your education and your spirituality. You want to exist according to your truest values. You want the kind of love that lights up your soul.

Pisces: The sun continues its transit of your eighth house (the house of sex, taboos, and unspoken things). You are in a much more intense headspace than everyone else seems to be at the moment. You are tuned into the more mysterious sides of life and to your own inner workings and desires. You are looking to find balance in the more extreme aspects of your personality. You are making peace with the strangeness of intimacy. Close relationships are transformative.
