Enter our mystical world of stars and astros…
Aries
This week encourages Aries to assert their independence. Alexa, play “Independent Woman” by Destiny’s Child. Don’t hold on to relationships and friendships that no longer serve you just because you’re scared of branching out on your own. You will be ok! Make sure to handle things with sensitivity when dealing with someone closer to home.
Those who have not yet found a life partner are advised to start swiping on a dating app or finally agree to be set up. The person who appears in your life during this period will take a firm place in it a little later. Be open to all possibilities!
Taurus
The astrological situation this week opens up tempting prospects for Taurus. Don't jump into things without thought. When there are several options, you should choose the one that is most comfortable not only for you, but also for those close to you.
Taurus, don't forget to take care of yourself, in the second half of the week you may experience a dip in energy. If this is true, then this is an indication that you should slightly slow down the pace of life, analyze the path you have traveled, and find time to rest. Treat yo self.
Gemini
The events of this week will call on Gemini to dive into self-care. Doing things that lift your mood will benefit your body as well. The astrological situation of this period favors the beginning of the transition to a healthy lifestyle. That green juice will totally cancel that tequila shot! Right? Right.
At the end of the week, it will be important for Gemini to realize that your ideas resonate with others. Make sure you choose your words wisely, as people are paying lots of attention to what you’re saying right now. You have a captivated audience so to speak, whether it is colleagues, friends or a significant other, someone is hanging on to every word you say.
Cancer
You will be able to identify and prioritize your most important tasks this week. The main takeaway is making sure you still make time for your loved ones. You can sometimes be brash with your words and actions. This, in turn, may offend someone. Make sure to apologize sincerely if you slipped up.
Try to rely more on yourself this week. It is possible that the person you wanted assistance from won't be there for you. Do not look for excuses for those who let you down. In the end, by getting rid of relationships that only bring pain, you make room in your life for something good.
Leo
Leos this week might experience a slight let down. Perhaps one of your, as it seemed, brilliant ideas will not work, or a person you wanted more clarity from, isn’t being as communicative as you’d like. Step over the trouble, tune in to the positive and think about how to protect yourself from similar situations in the future.
At the end of the week, you might have to make excuses to someone close to you. Perhaps there will be a promise you can’t keep, or a favor you backed out on. A simple "sorry, it's my fault" will of course only partially solve the problem. The main thing is not to run away from responsibility, look for ways to eliminate unresolved issues.
Virgo
At the beginning of this week, Virgos may receive material assistance or an offer related to the field of finance. It’s giving mogul. The astrological environment for other vital aspects will be no less favorable. In the coming days, Virgos will notice pleasant changes in their personal affairs.
Faith in yourself will grow day by day. However, Virgo, there is a huge difference between “confidence” and “cockiness”. It is important to listen to the opinions of those close to you. If someone turns to you for help or advice, do not refuse. You might need their support one day.
Libra
This week you will have good luck in all your doings. You will be especially successful if you use that natural charm of yours. Don't be afraid to push yourself. By pushing through, you might achieve the impossible.
Dear Libra, pay attention to your diet. If it contains low quality, processed foods, or unhealthy meals, this must be corrected as soon as possible. It’s time to get into our “that girl” healthy era. Don’t forget that health is wealth. Don’t get too carried away with that Halloween candy. Practice self love by cooking yourself something healthy and delicious. Your body will thank you.
Scorpio
Scorpios this week should carefully protect confidential information. Be careful what you send to the group chat, honey. The astrological situation is such that one careless word and your secret will be revealed. - XOXO gossip girl. It's good that this is the only possible trouble for you.
This week in the life of many Scorpions comes a decisive moment in personal matters. Single scorpios will get a chance to hear the words they covet the most. Married or LTR Scorpios will be surprised to find that the passion within the marriage has not disappeared anywhere. Perhaps it will flare up with a vengeance if you throw on a sexy halloween costume and have yourselves a romantic night in.
Sagittarius
The intellectual component of Sagittarius this week will be on top. You will feel like you have what it takes to win a debate. Use this boss energy in the best way that you can. Perhaps, you can use it to create more harmony around yourself.
Avoid huge, unmanageable ideas. Ask the people around you for their opinion on the matter and try to manage your expectations. Spend time with friends this week, hit up a halloween party to relax after a grueling week, and by relax i mean dance the night away in a cute costume.
Capricorn
Your own inner demons can make Capricorns forget about peace this week. This is an occasion to self-reflect and stop allowing things that disturb your peace into your life. A great mood will be restored as soon as you start to devote more time to something fun. Try to take in and enjoy the small things: how picturesque nature is, how delicious your morning coffee is, how cozy it feels to curl up by the fire with a new book. Look for joy in your surroundings.
By the end of the week, dear Capricorns, you will have confidence that your personal life has finally returned to normal. A surprise from a loved one is not ruled out. Single Capricorns can count on signs of attention from potential partners. Time to bring in the roster!
Aquarius
The astrological situation this week is not too favorable for Aquarius. You could be asked to keep someone's secret you don’t approve of. Try to calmly analyze the situation you find yourself in this week. Some positive solutions will come from meditating on an issue.
The end of the week is a great time to text or call one of your old friends. Perhaps some of you will consider it relevant to revive the past romance, to apologize to some person, to pay more attention to your loved ones. Just be careful with those tequila shots and texting your ex. Trust me.
Pisces
Pisces will be the main directors of this week's events. Main character energy! The astrological picture regarding your zodiac sign is not without uncertainty. In which direction you take the ship, in that direction it will sail. However, it is still important to monitor the direction of the wind (that is, to objectively assess the situation).
Less doubt in personal matters. Much, if not all, depends on you, dear Pisces. Cut the cord with a person who is no longer your leading man or lady. If someone isn’t prioritizing you, or making you feel loved and respected, you should move on. There is someone out there who will give you all the things you deserve. Maybe you’ll meet someone cute at a halloween party ;)
