WEEK OF October 10 – 1 6, 2022
If you can’t stop scrolling through FitTok videos this Monday, October 10, there’s good reason. Savvy Mercury grapevines into Libra, activating your wellness sector until October 29. The messenger planet already visited this realm once—from August 25 to September 23—but thanks to a retrograde (September 9 to October 2), the desire to “green up” your life got disrupted. Starting Monday, you’re ready to give your body some love. With gentle Libra guiding this operative, you don’t have to go cold turkey on anything or do anything radical at all. A better approach is to check out a few new activities and see if they’re something you can commit to. The “no pain, no gain” shtick has a very short shelf-life for your pleasure-loving sign. But you may need to jumpstart your new plan for improving how you eat, move and take care of your body. Don’t forget to add adequate sleep, hydration and reducing stress to your list. Over the next two weeks, book those doctors’ appointments, schedule a massage or two and, as we head into colder weather, focus on preventative medicine, the smartest kind of all.
Don’t rely too heavily on other people this Wednesday, Taurus. While you’re a rock when it comes to being there for friends, under the day’s shaky starmap, overdependence could be like planting your feet in quicksand. Impulsive Mars in your second house of stability is getting major shade from nebulous Neptune in your collaborative corner—their third challenging 90-degree square of 2022. Someone might claim they’ve got your back, but at the very moment you need support or just companionship, they’re MIA. Before you block them, try to find out what’s really going on. It’s entirely possible that they’re going through a drama of their own that has nothing to do with you. And when you are engaged with others, steer clear of controversial subjects, just for a day or two, okay?
On Friday, your galactic guardian, Venus, in your hard-working sixth house forms one of two annual supportive trines to goal-oriented Saturn in your tenth house of career success. When these two high achievers swing into this rare alignment, they position YOU for a raise, new gig or, at the very least, well-deserved kudos. But what do you WANT, Bull? Are you looking to make a move within your company, stake out fresh turf or just test your skills in any challenging new position? If you need a pep talk, tap a friend who’s a born go-getter, or consider working with a career coach. A big part of your appeal is your down-to-earth realness and how well you actively listen—rarer qualities that you might realize. When it comes to your other favorite topic—romance—this Venus-Saturn mashup could draw in a mature yet sensual prospect who shares your values, from work to family to steadfast loyalty. Narrow the field by ruling out the superficial attention-grabbers and seek out the hard-working yet fun-loving types, trusting there’s a LOT more there than meets the eye. For couples, the combo of Saturn’s practical long-term vision and Venus’ amorous idealism can help you discuss—and then actually take—your next big togetherness step.
