Weekly Horoscope: October 12 - 18

Jupiter, the planet of expansion, gently connects with psychic Neptune on Monday, October 12, at 3:06 AM, for the third and last time this year. This is one of the signatures of 2020, and has a sedating, optimistic effect. There may be eureka moments about what we believe in. Also on Monday, Venus gently connects with Mercury, the planet of communication, at 1:38 PM, helping us communicate affection and desire clearly and collaboratively.

The sun faces off with warrior Mars on Tuesday, October 13, at 7:25 PM, requiring us to reach a compromise with people who are misbehaving or acting like babies, but that’s what being the bigger person is all about! Mercury retrograde begins on Tuesday at 9:04 PM, but you’ve likely already been feeling things malfunction since Sunday or Monday. The times around Mercury retrograde’s beginning and end are the most frustrating, as the planet slows to an apparent stop. Mercury retrogrades bring delays and misunderstandings, but also opportunities to correct our mistakes.

The sun clashes with power planet Pluto on Thursday, October 15, at 6:14 AM, digging up the dirt on something juicy and behind the scenes. The sun in Libra wants justice, and asks that we take action to address greed and corruption. This can also agitate manipulative behaviors, so take time to think about other people’s intentions, and if they’re aligned with yours.

There’s a new moon in Libra on Friday, October 16, at 3:31 PM. Get to understand how you are in control of your relationships—they’re a two way street! Feel free to give more love than you’re receiving, because it feels good, not because you’re holding it over someone’s head.

On Sunday, October 18, the sun clashes with Saturn, the planet of structure, at 9:57 AM, which can feel like a defeat. Sometimes standards are simply too high, but the fact that you’re trying does count for something. Later, at 10:48 AM, love planet Venus faces off with Neptune, which can lead to confusion or fantasy. While we imagine the best, we are also forced to grapple with reality.
