Combined with the forward thrust of an eclipse, we could look back on this week as a major turning point or milestone. Since this is a lunar eclipse, it arrives with a full moon. Flip back to March 30, 2014, the date of the corresponding new moon in Aries. The seeds planted then are ready to be harvested.
Relationships could hit a rocky patch, thanks to Mercury retrograde. The messenger planet is driving in reverse from October 4-25. On Friday, it scoots back from jealous Scorpio into romance-addict Libra. The green-eyed monster may be leaving town, but the players are rolling in. A good rule of thumb for dating this week: Actions speak louder than words.
Libra
Double down, Libra! Wednesday’s lunar eclipse in Aries (your partnership sign) rockets you into the relationship zone. Let’s be honest: As the zodiac’s hopeless romantic, you’re actually into the whole couple-y thing. A merger could become official now: Anything from exclusivity clauses to eloping could go down.
Even single Libras won’t escape the fairytale fumes. It always helps to meet the universe halfway, so get to right-swiping. Have you been feeling lukewarm about a collaboration or business partnership? This eclipse could signal your exit if a better fit awaits.
The challenge of the week? Mercury, which is retrograde until October 25, slinks back into Libra for the remainder of its backspin on Friday. At times, this will leave you feeling hopelessly misunderstood. Don’t even bother trying to explain yourself for the thousandth time. Develop your ideas behind the scenes and debut in November.
Scorpio
Has paying your dues started to feel like an endless shift in the salt mines, Scorpio? Have no fear; Wednesday’s lunar eclipse is here. This super-powered full moon lands in your sixth house of work, shuttling you further up the ladder.
If you’ve been letting other people take credit (even some of it) for the sweat you’ve broke, enough’s enough! Stamp your trademark on all that you do, and make sure the powers-that-be are aware of your gifts and contributions.
On the hunt for more gainful employment? News of a job opportunity could come this week. With eclipses, you have to strike while the iron is hot. No deliberating. If it’s calling your name, even just a little bit, you owe it to yourself to explore.
Have you been judging yourself by the size of your thighs instead of the content of your character? How about embracing both, just as they are? This body-loving eclipse reminds you that there are wide categories for beauty, so instead of trying to emulate an impossible standard, rock what you were born with and play it to the hilt.
Sagittarius
Forget about flawless, Sagittarius. How about being 100% true-original instead? Wednesday’s lunar eclipse in Aries and your fashionable, fame-loving fifth house puts your flamboyant nature on display.
Your efforts of the past six months could catch the attention of some major influencers. Snap a few artsy selfies for your Instagram feed and take every opportunity to strategically self-promote. It’s not bragging if you focus on the benefits that others will receive from your offerings.
Romantically, the eclipse will speed things up big-time. A simmering attraction could heat into a rip-your-clothes-off boil — or, a combustible coup de gras. Either way, there won’t be much mystery about you-know-who’s feelings after this week.
On Friday, Mercury retrograde slips back into your house of friendship and group alliances until October 25. Whatever happened to your crew from back in the day? Plan the reunion, ASAP.
Capricorn
Sweet home Capricornia? There’s lots of action under your roof this week, thanks to Wednesday’s eclipse in Aries and your domestic zone. Call a house meeting to discuss the dirty dish situation, or screw up the courage to give that slacker roomie his eviction notice.
Maybe you just need to remember that you actually HAVE a home, not just a place to drop your suitcases between all those work engagements. Feathering your nest could become your October obsession.
Have you fallen out of touch with family? There will be protests from the ranks of your relatives if so. Don’t ignore their bids for attention. Without their support, you wouldn’t be able to fly so high. Showing how thankful you are will be nourishing for everyone — yes, including you.
Mercury retrograde moves back into your career house until October 25, the remainder of its reign. Be ultra-mindful of your colleagues now. One of your helpful moves could be misinterpreted as a power play.
Aquarius
Bestow that BFF title! Wednesday’s lunar eclipse in your house of kindred spirits could prove the unthinkable: There actually ARE people (a few, at least) who share your refreshingly original view of life.
Someone who’s been hovering in the “cool acquaintance” category could show you the solid gold character she’s made of. If you’ve been pondering a creative collaboration or business partnership, this eclipse will make next steps clear. Move forward or move on — there’s no room for grey after this.
If you’re in the market for a new set of wheels, let the test-driving commence. Someone from your family could even gift you a car, or maybe a sound system or mobile device — eclipses just bring those types of surprises.
One caveat: Mercury is still retrograde until October 25, never a good time to actually purchase a ride or a geeky gadget. Shop around, but, if possible, wait until the last week of the month to drive anything off the lot.
Pisces
Ca-ching, Pisces! Your moneymaking mojo is off the charts, thanks to this week’s lunar eclipse in Aries and your financially golden second house. At last, that job you’ve been waiting for could open up. Keep your interview outfit pressed and ready.
If it’s time to walk on a dead-end gig, this eclipse hastens your departure. It can be scary to leap like this, but sticking around in unsatisfying situations for “security” is a soul-suck that keeps you stuck.
On the other end of the spectrum, make sure your savings plan is in place. You could see the need to upgrade and invest in something of lasting value. Work with a financial planner if budgeting is not your forte.
On Friday, Mercury in retrograde creates some mixed signals in your love life. It’s hard to tell a fling from the real thing until October 25, so reserve judgment until you have ALL the facts straight. Coupled Fish could be possessed by the green-eyed monster after Friday. Exorcise that demon by pulling back and getting obsessed with your own life instead of someone else’s.
Aries
Ready to have a moment that is truly major, Aries? With a lunar eclipse in your sign on Wednesday the 8th, this week could be a game-changer.
Lunar eclipses arrive with full moons, tripling their potency and manifestation powers. Your efforts of the past six months won’t just yield street cred — you could catch some media attention too. Don’t wait for the paps to park outside your door with their Kardashian-catcher telephoto lenses. Shameless self-promotion is fully sanctioned by the stars this week, so start a buzz on your own behalf!
While you shine as a solo act, relationships could hit a rough patch after Friday when Mercury retrograde slips back into your partnership house for the rest of its backspin — until October 25, that is. Want to end the month with your road dog by your side? Keep that Aries temper in check and choose your battles.
Taurus
This week’s theme song sounds a lot like those hauntingly overplayed Demi Lovato lyrics: Let it go, let it go. You’ve been, er, frozen (gulp, sorry) in an unsatisfying situation for far too long. And, frankly, your friends have long since grown weary of discussing your “dilemma” over Bloody Marys. With Wednesday’s lunar eclipse in your 12th house of transitions, you have no choice but to face the music — and put an end to being your own worst enemy.
Although change can be scary for your steadfast sign, you’ll feel much happier once you peace out and bolt the door behind you. Eclipses accelerate change. If you refuse to release it, fate might just do the work for you. Cry, scream, break a few dishes if you must — but, please, don’t go running after something you know is so wrong for you.
The gym will be your salvation after Friday when Mercury retrograde scoots back into your healthy living zone until turning direct again on the 25th. When in doubt, sweat it out.
Gemini
Catch a whiff of team spirit this week, Gemini. With Wednesday’s lunar eclipse lighting up your 11th house of community, you’re ready to scrap the solo project and get the band back together. Success is in the stars — IF you pick the right collaborators, that is.
Be discerning, as only a Gemini can, vetting people on a stricter set of criteria. It’s not just that you’re judged by the company you keep; it’s also that you don’t want to get stuck pulling the weight for a bunch of all-style-no-substance slackers. If you can’t find your tribe in real time, hop online.
On Friday, retrograde Mercury inches back into Libra and your romance house for the remainder of its backspin. Until October 25, you can expect more than the usual amount of drama surrounding your love life. But, that could very well be a product of YOU flying off the handle and overreacting. Keep that levelheaded wingwoman by your side to talk you down from a tree when your sweetie forgets to call back or your ex starts texting.
Cancer
This week, give the #iwokeuplikethis schtick a rest. With Wednesday’s lunar eclipse rocking your polished, prestigious tenth house, you’ll want to put your most professional foot forward — preferably in an ankle boot or pointy-toed flat instead of a sneaker, ‘kay?
There’s major momentum behind you now! Play your cards right and you could step right into the inner (read: executive) circle, with a fancy new title to match. Then again, some Crabs could be ready to give the corporate world the heave-ho. A coffeeshop workstation or home office could soon be your new digs. Just don’t race to tell your family of your big plans this weekend.
From Friday until October 25, Mercury retrograde will backstroke through your domestic zone. Inviting a new acquaintance to crash on your couch indefinitely could be bad news too. Respect your nest, and the sacred space it serves for your privacy-loving sign!
Leo
Live out loud, Leo, this is not the week for holding back since Wednesday’s lunar eclipse gets you buzzed on truth serum. The thoughts, opinions, bottled-up rants, and feelings could come out in an uncensored rush. A little messy? Yeah, yeah. But, your words will hit the mark, and someone’s gotta call out the neon pink elephant in the room already.
An opportunity from a foreign postal code could crop up out of the blue. Is that passport up to date? Make sure, Leo! Don’t rule out a long-distance relationship, either for business or pleasure. Just make sure to use tact when hitting those touchier subjects — especially since Mercury is in retrograde until October 25.
On Friday, the planet of communication slips back into your third house of friendship, an ideal time to patch things up with your sister or your BFF from back in the day.
Virgo
Meow, Virgo. Your powers of attraction are undeniable this week. Wednesday’s lunar eclipse lights up your erotic eighth house, bringing the sexiest of candidates into your orbit. In an ideal world, lust and trust would always go hand in hand. But, they don’t, so save your energy for people who bring both — they do exist, we promise.
Already found the Kanye to your Kim? Forget the Instagrammed tour of Australia and front-row seats at Fashion Week. The fun happens behind closed doors now, where you can REALLY seal your bond. Some Virgos could even be sporting engagement bling by the time this week is through.
After Friday, lock up the credit cards and put yourself on a temporary austerity plan. Mercury, which is retrograde until October 25, drifts back into your finance zone. Ignore the urge to splurge until you have a savvy budget in place. Even then, keep the big-ticket items on your wishlist for a while since your tastes could change hourly.
