Rising sign horoscopes for Oct. 23-29
♈ Aries: Welcome a slower pace this week. The depths of your psyche are beckoning you to turn your attention inward. Choose your favorite modality and tune into your soul.
♉ Taurus: A deep undercurrent of connection runs between your immediate environment, those you cherish, and your community. Forgiveness encourages continuous flow.
♊ Gemini: Get out of your head and into your heart. Gratitude holds a high vibration that can infuse positivity into your daily life. Focus on all your “haves” rather than your have-nots.
♋ Cancer: You are the epicenter of your life’s manifestations. Being at peace trickles outward like streams from a river. Release negativity within and watch the effect dissipate throughout.
♌ Leo: Life’s journey is filled with complete unknowns. Feeling fear and having doubt are natural responses. Mystery is best met with trust, confidence, and authenticity.
♍ Virgo: Lighten up, Virgo. It’s a good week to practice surrendering and simply treading water rather than perfecting a stroke. Belly laughs and good humor lift your spirit.
♎ Libra: Your time, efforts, and energy are interrelated to your health, wealth and happiness. Inject the intention for growth and expansion into everything you do and life becomes limitless.
♏ Scorpio: The deep, emotional waters are your natural habitat. Throw yourself a buoyancy lifeline this week, and live like you’re walking on air rather than treading in the abyss.
♐ Sagittarius: Waking life may be feeling more like a dream lately. Balancing on the edge of consciousness reveals how easy it can be to imagine your deepest desires into your reality.
♑ Capricorn: Perseverance and excellence are your natural talents. Going with the flow and surfing life’s waves are ongoing learning experiences. Heed the incoming lessons.
♒ Aquarius: The light is shining on your professional goals and aspirations. Achievement is intertwined with your personal growth and self-confidence. You’ve got this!
♓ Pisces: Trust yourself, Pisces. You are the captain of your life’s vessel, and guidance comes from your inner knowing. Lead with your heart and intuition for smooth sailing.

Mercury exits the Scorpionic depths for the Sagittarian eternal flame on Oct. 29, facing off with wildcard Uranus off and on for the next several weeks. We’ve been in Mercury’s pre-retrograde shadow since Oct. 21, which is when we began to experience development of the themes that will flavor the next retrograde. The upcoming and final Mercury retrograde of the year will drift between the early Sagittarius degrees and the late Scorpio degrees, blending the energies of the two signs. There may be some interesting surprises with the Uranian influence! Pay attention; this one is going to be interesting. Stay tuned to November’s Cosmic Connections for more information about the upcoming Mercury retrograde.
