Libra Weekly Horoscope
WEEK OF October 17 – 2 3, 2022
The star of this week is none other than your galactic guardian, Venus, who’ll be making a few key connections before the weekend. The action kicks off on Tuesday, October 18, when Venus—in your sign—forms a sultry trine with passionate Mars in your adventurous and outspoken ninth house. Both planets are in communicative air signs, setting the stage for an open and honest conversation. Translation: Feel free to be direct about your desires and, with someone you know and trust, maybe even share a secret fantasy. Optimism and candor are on tap all day, so even if you’re addressing a problem, you should meet with a positive outcome.
Creative solutions can arise quickly—and could even lead to a spontaneous evening escapade or further discussion about your next shared travel plan. But don’t waste unnecessary time. On Thursday, Venus slams into a square with controlling Pluto, which can rile up everyone’s sensitivities. For better or worse, any moves you make get amplified on Saturday, when Venus and the Sun team up on the final day of Libra season and put everything on full display.
The Sun-Venus tag team powers up again on Sunday, when both relocate to strategic Scorpio, Venus until November 16 and the Sun until November 22. With these two leaving your sign and setting up a month of focus on your finances, you may naturally tighten your belt or rein in frivolous socializing. (Fun is a necessity, but spending a fortune for the privilege is not!) This doesn’t mean no more partying until next September, but it DOES suggest that your mind will be on raising your bottom line for the coming four weeks.

As an ambitious cardinal sign, you’re future-oriented enough to realize that money is a key tool to accomplishing your goals. Which is why you won’t shed too many tears as you wrestle your spending and saving into alignment with your intentions. But you’re still an aesthetically sensitive and (mildly) hedonistic Libra, so cutting back past the point of comfort is likely to backfire. Start with the painless modifications, like canceling unused subscriptions and memberships. For the sake of a future financial goal, are you willing to replace those daily afternoon lattes with the office brew and put yourself on a “shopping diet” till you hit your next financial milestone? A silver lining: You get to go closet shopping and may rediscover some favorite, overlooked outfits you shoved to the back of your closet!
Also on Sunday, organized Saturn wraps its nearly five-month retrograde through Aquarius and your fifth house of amour and glamour. While it was spinning in reverse, things might have stalled or gone sideways in your romantic and creative life. But once it resumes forward motion, almost immediately you may feel the blood pumping again. Regardless of your relationship status, your libido will make its presence known. Single Libras may find the gumption to take a calculated risk on someone, if only to get back in the game. Couples are encouraged play up the FUN side of the union by doing something a little out of the ordinary, like signing up for dance lessons or, if you’re feeling friskily confident, maybe a Tantric workshop.
