Buckle up — we’re in for a week packed to the brim with astrological activity. 

It all kicks off with a trine between energetic Mars in sensitive Cancer and dreamy Neptune in insightful Pisces on Monday, which will call us to listen closely to our inner voice. Prepare to pick up on hidden signals from all angles, as your intuition will likely be supercharged under this influence. This is a brilliant moment to gather inspiration for any projects you’ve been working on; you may even find that following your creative instincts leads you down a fulfilling new path.   

As anticipation for All Hallows’ Eve reaches its peak on Wednesday, inquisitive Mercury in intense Scorpio will face off against innovative Uranus in stubborn Taurus. We may feel a bit cheeky under this influence and could be tempted to tap into our trickster energy to pull off an elaborate prank. If you’re someone who’s on the more gullible side, employ your wits to sniff out deception and enjoy giving the rascals in your life the reaction that they’re craving. After all, playing along is all part of the fun of Mischief Night.

The veils between our physical and spiritual realms are said to be at their thinnest on Halloween, helping us tune into the unknown. But our connection to the other side could be significantly enhanced this year, thanks to a trine between perceptive Mercury in fearless Scorpio and mystical Neptune in mysterious Pisces on Thursday. Soak up this mystical moment by indulging in your favourite spooky-season traditions. And if you’re dressing up for the occasion, prepare to find yourself slipping into character in unexpected ways. 

We’ll be feeling refreshed and ready to make plans for the winter season ahead when the new moon in determined Scorpio arrives on Friday. This lunation encourages us to visualize what we want to accomplish and set attainable goals that’ll help us get there. So let this fresh lunar cycle invigorate you; if you’re willing to put in the hard work, you could end up kickstarting a powerful transformation that will continue over the next six months. 

Authenticity could quickly become our new ideal when communication-ruling Mercury cruises into philosophical Sagittarius on Saturday. From now through the next three weeks, we’ll be called to speak openly and honestly about our feelings, while still making room for new perspectives to blossom. Just keep in mind that this transit’s shadow side can sometimes make us less sensitive to the feelings of others. To avoid bruising any egos, remember to punch up, not down, when joking around with the people you love. 

We might have to work a bit harder than usual to manage our reactions when feisty Mars in moody Cancer opposes power-hungry Pluto in assertive Capricorn on Sunday. The atmosphere could grow particularly tense under this influence, and you may find that friction ignites over even the slightest inconvenience. To rise above this drama, try to redirect any extra energy you have toward physical activity and artistic pursuits. But if conflict can’t be avoided, don’t be afraid to ask your support system for advice on how to move forward. An outside perspective could be just what you need. 

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, October 28, 2024.

Aries

Have you been trying to unlock your full potential, Aries? This week, set aside time to really think about the intentions you’ve set thus far — you might need to get more aggressive with them in order to succeed. You may even find that inspecting your circumstances from a more goal-oriented angle allows you to regain momentum on certain passion projects that have fallen stagnant. Then, as Mercury moves into Sagittarius this weekend, you could feel called to shake up your routine or perhaps test out some unconventional wellness practices. Use this moment to rediscover your zest for life and reinvest in what brings you joy. 

Taurus

Don’t be afraid to reach out, Taurus. If you feel out of sorts at the beginning of this week, talking with a friend could be just what you need to make sense of your circumstances. It’s important to remember that sometimes the stories we create to protect ourselves can end up hurting us in the long run; seek to challenge these narratives by reimagining what your relationships might look like in the future. Then, on the weekend, you could find that striking up conversations with people you trust is a great first step toward achieving your desires. Have fun discussing shared goals and seeing your bonds strengthen in the process. 

Gemini

Dream big, Gemini. You’ve got what it takes to make magic happen when it comes to your most ambitious career and creative projects — you just have to have a little faith in your vision. So this week, give yourself the freedom to really let loose, express your artistic side and discover new ways of doing things through some healthy trial and error. Then, toward the end of the week, you could feel a surge of energy that propels you to get organized and optimize your schedule for the upcoming holiday season. Just be mindful of where and how you’re distributing your time, as responsibilities of all kinds could stack up quickly. 

Cancer

What is your gut telling you, Cancer? You’ll be wise to consider this question at the beginning of the week, as listening closely to your intuition could help you tap into fresh inspiration for your career. Spend some time contemplating what you’d like to bring into the world and have fun exploring ideas, classes and places that might fuel your progress. If you’re single, this could also be a wonderful moment to meditate on the qualities that you’re looking for in a potential partner — and perhaps even recognize them in yourself. Practising self-love promises to bring more romance into your world, regardless of your relationship status.

Leo

Avoid isolating yourself, Leo. Bouncing your ideas off others will be key at the beginning of the week and may even help you find a smart solution to a pressing problem. Then, toward the end of the week, your domestic responsibilities could become top of mind, inspiring you to focus your attention on making improvements to your space. Write down a list of priorities you’d like to tackle over the next six months, and be sure to take a few photos of your home before you get started. You’ll likely be surprised by just how much progress you can make by early next year. 

Virgo

Celebrate your friendships, Virgo. The beginning of this week will be a beautiful time to connect with your favourite people and make plans to spend time together. But instead of sticking to your usual activities, consider getting creative by organizing a themed dinner party or inviting your pals to take a dance class with you. Going the unconventional route is sure to strengthen your bonds. If you’re in a relationship, you might even want to include your partner in your plans, since seeing your loved one through others’ eyes could reignite your spark. Meanwhile, single Virgos may find that mixing up their social life also leads them to a magnetic new connection. 

Libra

Solutions have a way of presenting themselves when you open up, Libra. So this week, consider talking about your ambitions — and how you might manifest them — with people you trust. Just be prepared to entertain alternative mindsets as you discuss how you’ll connect the dots. Who knows? Taking a road less travelled could give you a serious leg up on the competition. Meanwhile, you may notice more serendipitous moments popping up in your world from now through the next few weeks. These events could even help you to bond with your neighbours and local community; seize this opportunity to cultivate a wider support system. 

Scorpio

Are you ready to get crafty, Scorpio? You could benefit from a break from the grind at the beginning of the week, so consider carving out some time in your schedule for hands-on creativity. A little play is sure to support your well-being, nurture your imagination and help you rise above any lousy mood you happen to find yourself in. This could also be an ideal moment to slow down and reflect on all of the lessons that have shaped your experience over the past year. A true reinvention of self is on the horizon, and now is your chance to set an intention to harness your true power. 

Sagittarius

Are you ready for a wake-up call, Sagittarius? This week, you could discover that some of your ideas about how the world should work haven’t been landing with a loved one. But don’t mistake their criticism for an attack on your character. Instead, try to see this as a learning opportunity, and do your best to receive their advice with love. Meanwhile, if you’ve been feeling the need to do some soul-searching when it comes to an important personal matter, start by giving yourself the time and space you need to really quiet your mind. You don’t need to push yourself to find all the solutions right away — allow your intuition to guide you toward the answers you seek. 

Capricorn

Your social calendar will likely be packed to the brim this week, Capricorn. Still, you could find yourself motivated to switch up how you connect with your nearest and dearest. So instead of just doing the same old things, consider pitching some activities that’ll enhance your collective well-being and stimulate your minds. Meanwhile, you may feel inspired to put your networking skills to use and link up with like-minded people who share your keen sense of ambition. Just prepare to step outside your comfort zone and really put yourself out there if you want to make a lasting impression.

Aquarius

Engaging with opposing viewpoints can make you more well-rounded, Aquarius. So don’t let a fear of conflict keep you from participating in certain discussions this week, particularly with your close friends and family. While it may be uncomfortable at first, taking part in these hard conversations will ultimately help you better understand the inner workings of the people you love most. Meanwhile, you could get an opportunity at work that encourages you to recognize your true influence and value. Take some time to consider how to leverage this new perspective; perhaps you can add a new practice or two to your workday to further develop your reputation. 

Pisces

How you spend your cash is up to you, Pisces. Keep this in mind if you feel conflicted about buying something you’ve had your eye on this week. Perhaps you’ve earned a reward for all your hard work as of late. Alternatively, you may feel tempted to invest in your passion projects. Know that artistic endeavours are particularly supported during this time and could even lead you toward a new creative muse. Then, if you find yourself dreaming about expanding your world, carve out some time to research travel destinations in solitude. This is a beautiful moment to let your imagination run wild and explore all the possibilities.
