Your Weekly Horoscope: October 27 - November 2, 2021
Scorpio
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Because your emotions run so intensely it can be tempting to go into self protection mode, even when you don’t need to. This week is likely to present you with situations that you instinctively feel fearful about. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to investigate your reactions before you settle on an appropriate response. Take the time you need to work through your feelings before you put yourself out there, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This week is all about making decisions. This is happening on many levels, too. You may need to make choices in your life right now, but these choices ideally should reflect more serious decisions about who you wanna be and how you want to be. If you allow fear or insecurity to drive you, you’re likely to be pretty uncomfortable with what happens. Take the time you need to assess what’s right for you and then act from that place, Sagittarius.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
In the words of Robert Heller: “Fear is excitement without breath.” Strive to sort through your anxious feelings to determine whether some of them are actually excitement. You’re on the precipice of a meaningful, if not subtle shift, and it’s bound to be at least a little exciting as well as nervewracking. Think of this time as when you are supposed to lay foundations both in yourself and in your approach to situations. Take it slow and steady, Capricorn.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
If you’re in a state of anxiety and find yourself returning to the same negative or self-destructive thoughts on a loop, that means you need a break, Aquarius. While things may feel clear inside of you, what’s happening in the world, with others is a lot more messy. You may have to answer for things you’ve done or deal with consequences you don’t think are fair. To the best of your ability be humble and sort through your reactions and efforts to find the most constructive responses.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Your style of loving has a tendency to be devotional. This is a beautiful thing but it can get you in trouble when you take on other people’s feelings, preferences, and needs, as though they were your own. You’re doing well, Pisces. You’re on the right path and you’ve been showing up in healthy ways for yourself. If people that you care about are having a rough time it’s important that you find ways of showing up for them that don’t require you to feel what they’re feeling. Practice having boundaries with the people you love, out of love for yourself and them.

Aries
March 21-April 19
To quote the great Khalil Gibran: “Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.” If you’re struggling, it’s easy to lose track of yourself, especially if you’re struggling with pain. This is a missed opportunity! The struggles that you’re going through can yield opportunities for healing, expansion and advancement. It’s on you to explore your own emotions and emotional landscape with compassion and openness. Just do your best, Aries.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
With Uranus moving through your sign it’s inevitable that you are changing in ways you wouldn’t have predicted. While much of what you’re going through is healthy, that doesn’t mean that the people around you are fans of your growth. Be patient with others as they come around to the impact that your own changes are imposing on them. Remember, however other people behave as a reflection on them, not you.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
In order to have healthy and clear boundaries you need to first be able to sort through your stickier and potentially more defensive emotions. If you do this in a goal oriented way, you’re likely to miss out on some fundamental truths. Point your natural inquisitiveness to your own inner world, twin star. In this way you can identify what you need to deal with on your own, and what needs to shift in your relationship to people and situations in your life.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
You may find yourself in a fretful state this week, moonchild. Whether that’s because you are burnt out or because the details of your situation are really stressful to you, the remedy is quite similar. Take a broad minded approach to how you engage with your problems. You may need to make compromises that you weren’t planning on, and as long as they don’t compromise you, that’s totally OK. Be willing to change in the name of healing, my love.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
They say that the truth will set you free and while, broadly speaking, this is absolutely true, even freedom isn’t free. This week you may be dealing with the emotional consequences of the truth that is what it is. Strive to be present with the nuance and mixed messages that often comes with the truth. Life doesn’t move in a straight line all the time and that’s OK, even if it’s stressful. Embrace even the challenges that emerge from showing up and being real with yourself and others.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Having healthy boundaries is an important part of any successful relationship. The key is to not be defensive in the ways that you express or manage your boundaries. This is hard work even for people who are good at boundaries! Understand that interpersonal struggles and the struggles you’re having with yourself this week are all related to how you hold and assert your boundaries. Do your best to rise to the occasion when you can and learn from your situation when you can’t.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
The cool thing about growth and progress is that you have a chance to show up in new ways within your own life. This is your time to take up space in ways that reflect who you really are and what you really want, Libra. As you grow you inevitably must outgrow some things and people. This isn’t the week to worry about that. Stay focused on your own choices and how you can embody them in the best possible ways.
