Horoscopes for October 9-15, 2023

The week at a glance…

This week starts off a little rough after power struggles echo in from the weekend. Venus moved from Leo into Virgo on Sunday, and you may feel a new sense of self-care or a need to change your habits, the way you relate to others, or to organize something. Refinement of routine and relationship are hallmarks of Venus when she’s in Virgo.

By Wednesday, a more optimistic vibe returns, and we feel the anticipation of a fresh start with the new moon coming in on Saturday. This one is accompanied by a Total Solar Eclipse (at 21° Libra). This eclipse is near the South Node and signifies a release, ending, or exiting energy. In Libra, relationships of all kinds, finding balance, and equality are highlighted. Themes might include bringing closure to old stories, important decisions being made, and contracts and agreements can be finalized. We are letting go of something to make room for something or someone new. Results will be quick!

Now on to the Horoscopes…

Wherever you are, find your flow with your horoscope for the week. You can use your Ascendant or Sun Sign to start, but check in with your Mars, Venus or Moon sign – as they may offer additional clues that may be helpful to you.

Aries

Are you feeling frisky, playful and ready for romance? That’s how the week starts out. But by midweek you become a bit more serious, ready to dig in and get the work done. Whether it’s clearing your spaces or enhancing health routines, find a way to whistle while you work. By the new moon your focus will move to important relationships. You are evaluating what’s working (or not) and how you can shift things in your favor.  

Taurus

This week the family comes into focus. Whether its parents, children, friends or fur babies – the care and keeping of loved ones is on your mind. Try not to come across as too fixed or rigid, and go with the flow (i.e., listen) as much as you can. By the end of the week, you will find a rhythm that works for everyone in your circle, and you just may get the results you were looking for all along.

Gemini

You are in the zone this week, able to speak your truth and others are listening. Take full advantage of the audience! You are ready to redecorate or change up your home space at the first of the week. Whether that’s cleaning, clearing, or putting some pumpkins in your entryway, you’ve got the look everyone wants! By Friday its time to play and you are ready for some fun. Visiting a haunted house or watching a spooky movie with a sweetie may be just the thing to entice a little romance into your life.

Cancer

You’ve got money and resources on your mind. Planning for the future and storing up your acorns for the winter looms large. Don’t beat yourself up if you’ve been a little carefree, you’re allowed to have a holiday from worrying about everyone else’s needs. Regarding that, by the end of the week you are perceiving new financial undercurrents from those nearest and dearest. Try not to worry, you can find the balance between spend and save. Just tap into your intuition, you will know what to do.

Leo

You start the week footloose and fancy free, and possibly thinking about changing up your look. But what will it cost? Consider your finances before making any drastic expenditures. The new moon could bring an unexpected car or electronic expense so plan accordingly. Staying close to home, both in body and pocketbook will keep you prepared for the unknown.

Virgo

Whatever you’ve been worrying about, it’s time to let it go. Venus has moved into your home sign and it’s time to seek pleasure and enjoy the bounty of your hard work. You are enough and you need to look in the mirror and tell yourself that every day! You have done a good job of planning and saving and now it’s time to take a day trip or have a short jaunt. For example, going to the orchard to buy a bushel of apples may seem like an expense, but knowing all the ways you can store the apples for the winter season, makes whatever you invest in this week a pleasure that will keep on giving for a long time to come.

Libra

Are you feeling like the spotlight is on you? That’s because it’s your birthday month! Happy Birthday Libra! Don’t get in your head too much or feel embarrassed by the attention you’ve been receiving. You deserve it! You light up the room right now so its ok to strut your stuff! Get a new do, tattoo, or buy a new outfit – treat yourself to a birthday wish- just make sure you won’t regret it later if you go overboard.

Scorpio

Your public persona and work image is on your mind right now. You may receive some feedback from someone in your circle that makes you see things more clearly. Maybe there are some changes you need to make or unsavory friends or habits that you need to let go of. Take time to consider your options before acting, this is an internal time, and you may need to keep the cat in the bag for a while longer. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer right now.

Sagittarius

Did you sign up for another online course or weekend trip? Don’t beat yourself up, you love an adventure and this one was too good to pass up! Whatever you’re planning, it’s only going to help your long-term goals and plans so savor it. By the full moon you will be focused on your friends, groups, and networks. You will find the support you need in these circles to take positive actions toward your dream.

Capricorn

At the beginning of the week, you may feel some pushback. Is it because there’s opposition or are you just feeling sensitive to criticism? Expand your horizon midweek by planning a trip or making some goals for the new year. You are making bold moves at work that get noticed by week’s end. Let go of something in the workplace you don’t need any more and it will help you find your equilibrium.

Aquarius

Someone’s feathers are ruffled and you’re not sure why. Avoid the drama if possible. By mid-week you may learn a detail that you hadn’t considered, but it will help you see the bigger picture. You may be feeling like you need to make a change – look at where you could get rid of some clutter (closets, pantries, junk drawers) and what changes you can make to your health, wellness, and fitness routines. You may learn something new that will inspire your future goals.

Pisces

Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately or working too much? You’ve been burning both ends of the candle and now it’s time for some self-care. That may be as simple as creating some boundaries around your time. Call in a trusted confidant to help you build a new health routine, vitamin regimen, or exercise plan. You must apply the oxygen mask to yourself first before you help everyone else. Finding a balance between other’s expectations and your needs is a must at this time.
