Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

Even if the outside temps are dipping, your career is about to heat up big-time. On Tuesday, October 8, cosmic cohorts Mars and Venus form a harmonious trine in your professional houses, bringing a potentially stunning crescendo to something you’ve been working on. Driven Mars is crushing it in Cancer and your efficient, organized sixth house, and charismatic Venus in penetrating Scorpio and your goal-oriented tenth house is helping you magnetize the right people and opportunities to you. Aim higher, Aquarius: You may be underestimating your own potential. Let people know what you’re capable of AND interested in. Don’t be afraid to talk up your recent accomplishments. If you have a specific goal, identify folks who might help you attain it. Networking is valuable now, and remember, you don’t have to lead with shoptalk. Get to know someone and what they’re about before you make your pitch. Consider offering yourself up as a humble assistant; everyone has to pay their dues at some point or another, Water Bearer. And now’s an opportune moment, so don’t let pride get in the way. After all, knowing the right people is like taking the express elevator to the penthouse.

Even if you’re zipping along in the fast lane, be prepared to slow your roll this Wednesday, when expansive Jupiter commences its annual four-month retrograde, slowing certain initiatives. Besides amplifying everything it comes into contact with, Jupiter is the truth teller of the zodiac, and it’s been firing things up in Gemini and your fifth house of love and artistry since May 24. If you’ve fallen hard for someone or impulsively launched a creative venture in that time frame, Jupiter’s reversal could bring a reality check. Don’t overreact, freak out—or distribute any pink slips. Just calmly take inventory of the situation or relationship and get more intel. This is a great opportunity to clarify things and get to know someone on a deeper and more honest level. Because retrogrades spotlight the past, you might revisit a project you set aside or reconsider someone you kinda-sorta dated a while back. But if you notice the same red flags, take that as a sign to not pursue. Once Jupiter resumes forward motion on February 4, 2025, it’ll turbocharge this passionate zone until June 9, presenting chance after chance to bask in the limelight. If there are kids in your life, spend more time with them and let their unfiltered exuberance inspire you.
