Hey Libra, it’s been real, but this week we hang up the scales, and transition to a much more decisive sign. Exacting Scorpio is not one to mince words or linger over alternatives.
Spooky babes, it’s your time to shine, or, better said, slither out of the shadows like the eldritch creatures that you are. Scorpio, Halloween becomes you. You can be scary, especially when you’re mad. And you’re particularly fearsome now, with the Sun, Mercury, and Mars all conjunct.
Mars rules Scorpio in traditional astrology, giving its natives a big boost of energy, passion, and drive. This, coupled with Mercury’s clarity and mental acuity, means if you’re a Scorpio you could accomplish anything you set your mind to during these transits, which is truly a terrifying thought.
My advice right now to all who have Scorpios in their lives is to tend that friendship carefully. If you’re not close friends, still try to stay on Scorpio’s good side. This is especially true for Aquarius, Gemini, and Pisces, who are prone to hyperbole, half-truths, and blatant dishonesty. Beware: Scorpio knows when you’re not telling the truth. And this sign glorifies honesty over most things, including your feelings.
One message from this Aquarius to all the Scorpios out there: when you take over the world, which you will inevitably do, keep in mind that I was rooting for you from the start.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Work on strengthening bonds with friends and loved ones this week. Find out who is in your corner and who just says they are.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Be practical this week, Taurus. When dealing with conflict, especially, focus on steps you can take instead of on looming threats.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Bonds of love and affection are enhanced this week. Spend extra time with those you love, taking special care to listen to them and their needs.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Generosity is one of your most admirable qualities, Cancer. But being generous requires an openness and willingness to receive, too. Let others have a turn at giving.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
You have a very clearly defined perspective but, believe it or not, your opinions aren’t always necessary or even welcomed. Consider keeping it to yourself this week.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Since you see the world through results-based glasses, you can be prone to speaking candidly. Make sure your words aren’t too harsh for the people you’re speaking to.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
It’s a good time of year to prioritize comfort over social engagement. Spending a couple of nights in this week isn’t going to kill you, Libra.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Happy birthday, Scorpio. By which I mean, please be kind to us mortals. Your words can really hurt, especially when you deliver facts with cutting accuracy.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
You may find that your social circle seems to have been getting smaller recently. It can be good to prune. Just make sure you keep your real friends close.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Being open to change isn’t the easiest thing for you, but allowing yourself to switch directions may save you from some serious falls down the line.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
What is the foundation that your spirituality and belief system is built upon? You may be going through a time of learning, adjusting, or changing some deeply held beliefs.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
You may find yourself questioning your habits, asking which ones are serving you and which are standing in your way. Which ones do you really want to indulge?
