Your Weekly Horoscopes: October 22 to 28, 2023
The week begins with both Mercury and the sun entering secretive Scorpio on the 22nd and 23rd, and concludes with a lunar eclipse in Taurus on the 28th. Though Venus trining Jupiter on the 22nd, and Mercury and the sun both connecting with Saturn throughout the week brings some good vibes and stability, really the only constant is change. The lunar eclipse in Taurus on the 28th is the grand finale of not only our current eclipse season, but also of a larger story that’s been unfolding since November 2021. The eclipses in Taurus have brought sudden beginnings and endings on a material level, and forced us to rethink our definition of comfort and stability. With Mars opposing Jupiter on the 28th, there’s excitement and action being put behind these big changes, but when it comes to eclipses, it’s best not to initiate, but rather let the universe come to you.
