Your Weekly Horoscope: October 20 - October 26, 2021
Scorpio
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This week it’s important that you prioritize introspection, Scorpio. You’re likely to be feeling burnt out, backed up or just plain off. It’s important that you sort through your recent experiences to see what you’ve taken in or taken on that isn’t yours to handle. Instead of reacting to your difficult emotions at face value, strive to investigate what is motivating them so that you can understand yourself. Don’t let fear motivate you, my love.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
As much as you love change, when it comes from other people in ways that make you uncomfortable, that’s pretty much a completely different story. This isn’t the time for guesswork in your relationships, Sagittarius. Invest in the people that you’re close to in practical ways. Explore their interests, ask questions and spend time with those you care about. Instead of assuming the worst, invest in the best.

Don’t allow your fear of change or uncertainty to stop you from creating the life you truly want to live, my pragmatic friend.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
While you may be feeling defensive and frustrated this week, to quote Guns N’ Roses, girl, “all we need is just a little patience.” In order to move through the sticky emotional terrain that you find yourself in, you need to stay in touch with how you feel and your emotional patterns. Take responsibility for your part and participation, even when the other person is at fault. Deal with your innermost truths and the steps you feel called to take will evolve with you.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
It’s important that you protect your energy, Pisces. You don’t need to apologize, justify or defend yourself for needing a break. What you do you need to do, however, is communicate clearly before you disappear out of people's lives, or change the program. A little bit of communication will go a really long way this week, so be brave enough to express where you’re at and what you need my love.

Aries
March 21-April 19
This week’s full moon in your sign is inevitably meant to kick up major emotions. This isn’t meant to be torture, but to help you to clarify what needs your attention.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
This is a pretty momentous time for you, Taurus. It may be tempting to shut down or act out, but neither will actually make you feel better. It’s time to confront the truth of what is in your life and the world around you. If your fears are in the way of your willingness to acknowledge and accept things, then your top priority is to investigate and unpack your fears. Don’t abandon yourself or your strongest emotions, this week.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Unfortunately, you’re likely to be dealing with some pretty intense anxieties at this time, twin star. It may be tempting to jump to conclusions or spring to action before you have enough information, but those are some impulses to avoid. Strive to properly understand what’s happening and why it’s sparking the emotions that you’re feeling before you attempt any “fixes”. This week the best way to hold on is to let go.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
You’ve been working so hard on yourself, Cancer, and it shows. As you become more true to yourself and the things you want in this life, you must honor your boundaries in new ways. This week it’s important that you take responsibility to clarify what’s real and true for you. While this doesn’t guarantee that it will resonate for the people that you’re close to or go the way you want it to, it does guarantee that the truth will be clarified. And from that place you can make the healthiest choices possible.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Paradoxically, the path to gaining more control over yourself or your life requires that you let go of control much of the time. You can’t strong arm people and situations into what you want them to be and expect to be happy with the results. Use your passion and will to fortify yourself and lift up those around you. Even if you don’t have what you want now, you can prioritize what you need. Don’t lose focus on what’s most important, Leo.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Stay focused on the big picture, Virgo. This week you’ll likely need to clarify or assert boundaries. If they come from an honest place, then the worst that could happen is you will see necessary adjustments that reflect your needs, whether they’re being met or not. If you are asserting boundaries from a place of defensiveness or in efforts to manipulate people or situations, you’ll likely have to deal with some major blow back this week. Take the time to investigate your motives before you speak your mind.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This week‘s full moon in your relationship house is meant to shake things up. Instead of holding on tight in efforts to keep things the same, be willing to question pretty much everything, Libra. This isn’t the time for finding answers as much as it is the time for getting more honest about what’s motivating your questions. You’re brave enough to do the inner work that this moment calls for and resist the urge to fixate on what other people are thinking, feeling or doing.
