Your weekly horoscope for October 13 to 19, 2024 is busier than ever—and full of highs and lows. You’re feeling unsettled at the start of the week when Mercury in Libra slams into Pluto in Capricorn on October 13. This shines a light on topics, feelings, and conversations you typically prefer to leave in the shadows. This means secrets may be revealed and discussions can leave you feeling a little vulnerable. Later in the day, Mercury enters Scorpio, encouraging you to explore your darker side. You’re craving a deeper connection with those around you and more substance in your conversations. Basically, you want real talk.
Also on October 13, Mars in Cancer rams into Chiron—a planetoid that represents our deepest wounds as well as our ongoing healing journey—in Aries. This serves as a reminder that healing is an ongoing process, and there is still so much work to be done. People may be more reactive, so it’s important not to take their reactions personally. (Be gentle with yourself and others.) On the same day, Libra stares down Chiron in Aries, placing extra emphasis on your personal Chiron story. Chiron not only embodies the enduring pain we carry, but also the gifts we share with others that might be healing in their own way. This could mark an important turning point in your healing journey—maybe you’re integrating some wisdom or choosing to react differently to an old trigger.
Fortunately, the sun in Libra teams up with Jupiter in Gemini later in the day, offering a soft and supportive landing. You feel confident in your identity and proud of how far you’ve come. This alignment may also bring exciting news and developments regarding long-term goals or inspire a new idea or shift in perspective. You’re also strongly connected to your beliefs and standing up for what you believe is right.
On October 14, be on the lookout: the sun in Libra crashes into Mars in Cancer, creating tension and putting everyone in a defensive mood. The most positive manifestation of this planetary combination offers you a boost of energy to get things done, but it can also lead to making rash decisions and being more accident-prone. You’re motivated, but remember to take your time when possible!
There’s shock and surprise in your closest connections on October 14 when Venus in Scorpio stares down Uranus in Taurus. You could run into someone unexpected today, or even have some strange interactions. You may also feel a stronger desire for independence and autonomy in your relationships. Expect the unexpected in relationships and with your finances, too. The skies calm down a bit on October 15 when Venus in Scorpio mingles with Neptune in Pisces. Your interactions with others are compassionate and healing, and you’ll feel grateful for deep connections with the important people in your life.
On October 17, there will be a full moon in Aries, reminding you that you’re the main character in your life. It’s time to put yourself and your desires first. This may encourage you to set boundaries in your close relationships. Later in the day, Venus in Scorpio connects with Pluto in Capricorn, prompting you to reflect on how your relationship patterns and dynamics have improved. Some of your closest relationships may also reach new levels of intimacy and trust. Venus, the planet of connection, enters fun-loving Sagittarius later in the day, and people are booked, busy, and flirty. This may not be the best time to lock down a lover (if you’re into it), but it can be a really fun time to explore your options.
