Your Weekly Horoscopes by Madame Clairevoyant: October 19–25
On Tuesday, the new moon in Libra presents an opportunity for a new beginning, particularly where your relationships are concerned. If you’ve felt stuck in a cycle of arguments and misunderstandings, you have a chance for a reset; if you’ve been feeling lonely, new people could enter your life. Then on Wednesday morning, Neptune — currently retrograde — moves from assertive Aries into dreamy Pisces, where it’ll stay until early 2026. For the next few months, it might become easier to have compassion for the people around you — just take extra care not to let others take advantage of you. Finally, later on Wednesday morning, Scorpio season begins. With the sun in one of the zodiac’s most provocative and strong-willed signs, the next month is a good time to get honest with yourself and others about what you really want.
Aries Weekly Horoscope
For the most part, you try to stay positive. Even when things get tough, you just don’t see the point in complaining; rather than sitting around and stewing, it seems more useful, and more rewarding, to find ways to take action. At a certain point, though, keeping up a good attitude gets exhausting; constantly looking for silver linings and constructive responses takes a lot out of you. This week, you’ll feel lighter if you give yourself permission to be honest, even to vent a bit, about the things that aren’t working for you.
Taurus Weekly Horoscope
When your friends disagree with you, it’s hard not to take it as a personal attack — a sign that they don’t respect your intelligence or trust your judgment. But chances are, that’s not where they’re coming from at all. In fact, they probably voice their conflicting opinions precisely because they do value your ideas, and they want to talk things through with you. Try not to shut down the conversation by immediately becoming defensive. By staying open to different ideas, you’ll refine your own.
Gemini Weekly Horoscope
Others seem to be constantly giving you advice on how to live — and for the most part, you try to stay open to it, particularly when it’s coming from people who seem to know what they’re talking about. But this week, remember that just because a particular tactic works for someone else, that doesn’t mean it’ll work for you. Keep an open mind, and take the ideas that seem promising or intriguing, but don’t feel pressured to abide by everyone else’s rules for living. You’re your own person, and ultimately, you know yourself best.
Cancer Weekly Horoscope
You aren’t someone who needs constant attention, and you probably don’t feel the need to seek out external validation. As long as your inner landscape is interesting to you, that’s enough. But this week, remember that it can be worth sharing your ideas with others, even if you aren’t seeking accolades. Learning that your friends have been grappling with the same questions as you can be immensely validating, and talking things through can help clarify your own thinking. You might not need others’ praise or recognition, but you still need social bonds and support, so don’t close yourself off to them.
Leo Weekly Horoscope
When people treat you with extra kindness, there’s a part of you that tends to react with suspicion. You worry that they’re just being considerate because they want something from you — or worse, because they pity you. It can be tempting to reject their thoughtful gestures out of a sense that it’ll make you feel stronger and less dependent on others — but the truth is that nobody’s totally self-sufficient, and there’s nothing weak about receiving support. You deserve some kindness and grace this week, so don’t be too proud to accept it when it arrives.
Virgo Weekly Horoscope
This week, you might get the sense that you’re in the wrong place, or you’re spending your time in the wrong ways, or you’re surrounding yourself with the wrong people. It’s not that there’s anything specific that’s causing your unease — if there were, at least you’d know what to fix — just a nebulous fear that you’re failing, that you’ve made too many bad decisions in life. But your feelings are not necessarily a reflection of reality. Sometimes, life is just a bit hectic; it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong, and eventually, you’ll find your balance again.
Libra Weekly Horoscope
It can sometimes feel as though the only way to achieve a sense of security is to do so at somebody else’s expense. When some good news or a big opportunity comes your way, you worry you’ve stolen it from someone more worthy — and while some people might enjoy the feeling of competition, you’re more likely to feel guilty. But this week, make sure you aren’t turning down every chance at happiness out of a vague sense that somebody somewhere might deserve it more. Trust that there’s enough success to go around.
Scorpio Weekly Horoscope
While some people seem able to start new projects before they’ve finished their existing ones, or to embark on new relationships before really processing their previous ones, you probably don’t operate that way. Leaving unanswered questions on the table makes you feel edgy; you want to deal with all the loose ends before moving on. But it’s rare to find real, lasting closure — sometimes, you just have to move forward anyway. This week, you have a chance for a fresh start; don’t be so focused on closure that you let it go to waste.
Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope
It’s easy to convince yourself that you can’t afford to rest — you’re too busy, and there are too many people relying on you to work hard. But while running yourself into the ground in the short term can make you feel like you’re being dutiful and selfless, it comes at too great a long-term cost. It may be difficult to find the time to recharge, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need it; this week, it’s more important than ever that you find a few moments, at least, to rest and refill your cup.
Capricorn Weekly Horoscope
You probably believe that if you want to get anything done, you have to do it yourself. As much as you love your friends, you don’t necessarily feel like you can rely on them — while you might trust them to support you emotionally, you don’t have the same faith that they’ll be able to provide practical assistance when you need it. But it’s exhausting and lonely to live like this, and chances are, you’re giving your friends — at least some of them — too little credit. If you give your community a chance to come through for you, they might surprise you.
Aquarius Weekly Horoscope
Sometimes, perfect-seeming opportunities come your way — the only issue is that they’re arriving at an inconvenient moment. Maybe you’re exhausted from dealing with other things, or maybe you’re afraid you’re not quite ready for such a big step forward. It’s possible that bad timing truly does mean that you’re better off turning down this opportunity — but there’s also a chance that you’re simply using it as an excuse to avoid taking a risk. Only you can know which is the case right now; this week, just do your best not to let fear make your life smaller.
Pisces Weekly Horoscope
Difficult situations become much more bearable when you have a sense of purpose. If you know that you’re acting according to your principles, or that you have the chance to genuinely make a difference, you’re much less likely to lose heart. In contrast, even the most luxurious conditions can slowly begin to be unsatisfying if you feel aimless and unhelpful. So this week, prioritize finding something you care about and taking action. Even small steps toward a meaningful goal can change your outlook on life for the better.
