Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope

If that proverbial cat got your tongue too often for your liking over the past five months, this week’s stars are bringing welcome news. Potent Pluto is on a long trek through your third house of communication, and since last May 6, he’s been retrograde, where it felt like he was throwing one curveball after another. But this Thursday, October 15, he resumes forward motion, which will have an almost immediate effect not only on your messaging but in your confidence levels. You’ll regain clarity around what you want to say—AND how to say it. Whether you couldn’t make your points coherently or cogently or felt like people weren’t offering useful feedback, all the confusion and question marks begin to dissolve. This isn’t permission to put out any old slop—it’s still essential that your conversations authentically reflect you and your principles. But with Pluto back on track, you can look forward to connecting with people on a deep and meaningful level. Suddenly your ideas might find a very receptive audience! Take this as an opportunity to review everything you've been working on since last spring with fresh eyes. And if you can’t be objective about it, reach out to a clear-eyed friend or an acquaintance who’s familiar with your work to help you edit and curate different aspects of it and add a high-pro glow.

The universe deals you two wild cards this Friday as fervent Mars in Leo and your spontaneous ninth house syncs up with sober Saturn in unbridled Aries and your fifth house of romance and creativity. It’s probably not helpful to hear “expect the unexpected,” but with these heavyweights in two of your most heart-driven chart sectors, there’s no telling what you may manifest! If you’re single, it’s a great day (and night) to keep an open mind and flirt freely. Just be clear about what you’re looking for—because you have a good shot at finding it! Of course, commitment-minded Saturn in your fifth house might prefer that you stay IN and work on your next great artistic project. In a relationship? Don’t let strong emotions sweep you away…in either direction. Part of you might feel a bit jealous or possessive while another side wants to run off leash (by yourself). It’s a day of strong passions, so make sure you’re directing THEM not the other way around.

How’s your cash been flowing, Sagittarius? Sunday’s quarter moon in pragmatic Capricorn lands in your fiscally responsible second house, giving you a chance to get things back on track. Your carefree sign doesn’t always plan for the future, so it’s easy to blow through a paycheck as soon as it comes in. Living by the seat of your pants can feel thrilling, though not knowing if you’ll have enough to pay your monthly bills can get stressful. We’re not suggesting putting yourself on a strict budget (heavens no!), but how about setting a financial baseline for yourself: What’s the absolute minimum cushion you need to feel secure? Devote some time before the weekend wraps to review your last three months of expenses. That can help you see where you can scale back. And don't forget the income side of the equation. Maybe it’s finally time to request a salary review or raise your rates, if only by 5 percent.
