Weekly Horoscopes October 17th - 23rd, 2022. Brought to you by our friend Kelli Fox at Astrology.TV.

It’s an exuberant, high-energy start to the week, as the Sun and Venus take turns to trine Mars on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. This exciting energy is excellent for seizing the initiative in all areas of life, but especially in love, where passions will rise fast.

Mid-week, however, brings some issues with power and control, and perhaps emotional manipulation. It’s the Sun and Venus playing tag again, but this time creating squares to Pluto on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

It all changes on Sunday as the Sun and Venus move into secretive Scorpio. Expect some tempestuous emotions - although Saturn turning direct in airy, rational Aquarius on the same day will help to cool the temperature.

If you work with your romantic partner - or would like to - the Sun/Venus trines to your ruler Mars are fantastic news early in the week. This natural blending of business and pleasure could prove very lucrative.

However, watch out for angry disputes at home midweek when domineering Pluto gets involved with the Sun and Venus. If your work-life balance is out of kilter, there could be some seething resentment around this time.

When the Sun and Venus change signs on Sunday, prepare for a more thoughtful, deep-feeling vibe. You may ponder life’s mysteries or have strange, profound dreams. The Universe is urging you to look deeper into whatever fascinates you.
