Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

Your patience is about to pay off, Water Bearer. After five months of back-stroking through your sign, regenerative Pluto resumes forward motion on Thursday, October 15, blowing away the cobwebs that have accumulated since last May. Give it a little time to get back to full speed, but over the coming weeks, you can look forward to a string of red lights finally turning green or receiving the news you've been waiting for, particularly around work. An initiative of your own may get approved or a new position may open up that has your name all over it. Metamorphic Pluto is associated with sweeping change—the kind that can upend your life—and now that it’s direct, you can resume any major projects that have that potential. When it was in reverse, you had the opportunity to deeply reflect on your professional and personal trajectories—maybe TOO much self-reflection for your intellectual self. (Especially if that back-turn poked some tender spots you thought were already healed.) While that’s nobody’s idea of fun, hopefully that celestial slowdown taught you some valuable things about yourself. Whether or not you feel ready, with Pluto moving forward, you’re supported in acting on some of those revelations and maybe even becoming a source of inspiration for others! 

You might feel emboldened to get something off your chest as the week draws to close, but hit pause before you unload. Impulsive Mars in passionate Leo and your seventh house of relationships teams up with normally restrained Saturn in your communication center—which COULD bode well for a necessary heart-to-heart. But Mars is operating without guardrails, and Saturn is retrograde in rash Aries, making you susceptible to blurting out things that are fine in your head but can be provocative if spoken aloud. If you’re squabbling with someone, emotions might cloud your logical thinking. Remind yourself that “winning” an argument is pointless if it strains the connection. There’s a sweet spot between speaking your truth and not hurting anyone or burning an important bridge, but you have to dial down Mars’ pushiness and tap into Saturn's pragmatism. If you can’t hold it in, reach out to a neutral third party, vent away, but then listen to their feedback.

On Sunday, take a beat, especially if you’ve been running on fumes all week. A recalibrating Capricorn quarter moon lands in your twelfth house of introspective, dreams and release, and if you can surrender your need to control the outcome, an unexpected twist of fate might just renew your faith in the cosmos. Yes, there’s a catch, Aquarius: You have to drop your guard (and cynicism) and be open enough to feel it. Switch off your notifications, clear some energetic space, and shush the inner critic. A few hours of alone time can shift the vibe dramatically. And if you can do that on a massage table or in a hot tub, even better.
