October 12, 2024You could find yourself welling up over a friend’s touching anecdote or a sappy video on social media this Saturday while the Aquarius moon hides out in your empathic twelfth house. Although you’re used to expressing your compassion freely and caring selflessly for others, you might be the one who could use a hug now. Be gentle with yourself when you’re in this vulnerable state. Give toxic types a wide berth and don’t feel obligated to act on your tender emotions. Set firm boundaries and don’t feel a twinge of guilt about saying “no” when you need to. On Sunday, outgoing Mercury begins a three-week stay in Scorpio and your ninth house of expansion. Push past habitual boundaries and initiate conversations with strangers from different cultures and backgrounds. You might field an exciting opportunity to travel and should push yourself to seize it on the spot. Between now and November 2, getting out of your routine will keep your spirits soaring. To sate your appetite for learning experiences, register for a class, watch TED talks, attend lectures or sign up for a self-development workshop.See All Signs
