Weekly Horoscope: October 16–22, 2023

It’s time to clear the toxicity from your life! With the epic pairing of Juno, the asteroid of connections, and critical Virgo starting on Tuesday, you’re starting to demand more from yourself and the people who mean the most to you. You might not reach a state of perfection, but you can for sure do better than what you’ve been settling for lately.

The radiant sun (representing our self-image) is in balanced air sign Libra all week. As it forms an important conjunction with conversational Mercury (our cosmic messenger) on Thursday, you exude major rizz. This breezy, social cosmic meetup makes it easy for you to talk to almost anyone and see things from other people’s perspectives, which works to your advantage in so many ways. This outgoing energy is perfect for slaying interviews, first dates or any situation where you’d normally be so nervous that you’d make a fool out of yourself!

Guru of gab Mercury makes the leap from charming Libra to closed-off Scorpio on Saturday, though. So you’re going to be a lot less into small talk and more into giving people the silent treatment over the weekend. Friends and fam will wonder what’s really going on in that mind of yours, but few will have the privilege of finding out. For the next couple weeks, you’re definitely going through a mysterious phase. 

Your Zodiac Sign’s Weekly Horoscope

Aries

You’re more fair and less assertive now, which makes it easier for you to solve issues with a friend or romantic partner. Seeing things from their point of view is incredibly eye-opening.

For you, Taurus, balance in your health zone is the key to getting through the week with as few problems as possible. You love to indulge in yummy food, but right now you’ll be a lot better off eating healthier and exercising more. It might not be fun to resist a rich, calorie-filled dinner or to pass up your favorite dessert, but at the end of the day your body will thank you for resisting those tasty temptations.

Most of your responsibilities can be put on hold just this once, right?!

Leo

Your attention span is short this week, and you aren’t into long-term projects. That being said, you love to learn new things, especially fascinating little facts about stuff you’re interested in. And while you might not have the patience for anything longer than a 30-second TikTok, you’re able to soak up a lot of knowledge in a very short amount of time, so don’t sell yourself short. You’d make an excellent trivia night team member, Leo!

Or hire a financial advisor. There are so many options, Virgo, so there’s really no reason not to have your finances in order this week.

If your world has gotten smaller lately, it’s time to expand. Even if you think you’re being inclusive, there’s always room for one more, Aquarius.
