It is the last week of the Libra season, and if you still haven’t taken a leap of faith in your relationship or left your job, now is the time. Here’s your horoscope for October 16-22.

1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

Dearest Aries, are you paying enough attention to the people around you and not just focusing on one person? Because if you’re neglecting everyone over a single person, maybe you need to see where you’re going wrong. And even though Libra season is all about going heart eyes for your special someone, taking off your rose-tinted glasses will finally let you see the red flags around you.

AAE Pro Tip: Don’t let people’s opinions become your opinions, say what you have to.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

Looks like someone is in the mood to rock and roll. Well, this is your week, my darling Taurus, so let the last week of Libra season be an epic bash for you. If you’re interested in a little casual dating scene, this is a great time to put your foot down and browse your options. Currently, you have quite a bunch, and who knows when your DMs will dry up just like your sex life. So, make the most of what you have and see where it goes.

AAE Pro Tip: Yes, we know it’s October. But it’s still not festive to ghost people, okay?

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

The horoscope for October 16-22 brings an action-packed week for you, my dearest Gemini, so get ready. The festive season is just around the corner and the dust piling in every nook and corner of your home isn’t going to clean itself. Neither will the wings of your ceiling fan that haven’t seen cleaning in months. So, tighten your belt, grab the jhaadu, and get started with your festive cleaning already.

AAE Pro Tip: Quality time with your babe is on the cards, so share that surface cleaner and call it a date.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

My dearest Crabbies, I’m not saying you have to be perfect in everything you do, but what is this game of hypocrisy you’ve got going on? On one hand, you’ve been after your partner’s life to leave junk and shove green tea down their throat, and on the other hand, you never miss a chance to get those gol gappas. So, I guess the last week of the Libra season demands playing fair. It’s either green tea or gol gappa paani for both.

AAE Pro Tip: Speaking of playing fair, everyone deserves to be at the bottom once in a while. IYKYK.

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

The horoscope for October 16-22 wants to remind you that distancing yourself from certain situations and people doesn’t mean you are giving up. It simply means you are saving your own sanity by not being a part of someone else’s insanity. So, this week, remember to put some boundaries in place (Ambuja cement walls for some) regardless of who and what is in question, because sometimes, it is the best way to deal with a situation.

AAE Pro Tip: Stop worrying about everything in your head before it even happens.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

Dear Virgo, sometimes, saying no and turning down people is super important to help us keep ourselves in check. So, do yourself a favour and say no to any funny brownies that your friend might offer you this week ’cause you don’t want to consume pot brownies and think you’re dying. Let’s stay in the known zone and not let Libra season sway us, okay? You got this.

AAE Pro Tip: Don’t try to always fit in or say the right thing, sometimes unapologetically being yourself is important.

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

The last week of the birthday season is here and it is time to bid farewell to the Libra season. You’ve learnt some important lessons, had your fun in the sun, and made peace with the fact that your body can never go back to functioning as it did five years ago. You did a good job, Libra. Now, step into the last week with a bottle of whiskey in hand and celebrate another year of being older, bolder, and hopefully, wiser.

AAE Pro Tip: Hitting the gym always seems like a great idea after a birthday. Ponder on it a little this week.

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

The horoscope for October 16-22 reminds you to hold your horses because birthday season is coming in hot. And you know it is time to tie up loose ends, work around maddening schedules, and throw in some sane time with yourself before we hit the Scorpio season. So, get your calendars and organisers and start checking things off and planning for what’s coming next.

AAE Pro Tip: Dipping a toe in some old habits or routines could be a good way to bring some change.

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

It’s gonna be a busy, busy week for you, Sagittarius, so buckle up. A bunch of clashes are bound to happen here and there, don’t pay too much heed to them. What you need to focus on this week is delivering your work on time and not making up for other people’s badly done jobs. You’ve got a lot on your plate, so clear that first, and if your energy and time permits, then be Bob The Builder.

AAE Pro Tip: You don’t have to play ringmaster in someone else’s circle, just don’t show up.

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

Health is wealth, and you should know that better than anyone else at this point, Capricorn. So, taking it as slow as your body tells you to is a wise decision this week. Anything that seems off-putting or requires too much effort on your end should be rescheduled for when you have the bandwidth to deal with things. This week is all about prioritising your mental and physical well-being.

AAE Pro Tip: It’s okay to slow down and cut back on things that would usually seem effortless.

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

Looks like life is handing you straight tequila shots and all you need is some lemons for a wild ride this week. Your social life is on fire and you’re getting quite popular in your circles, darling. So, keep an eye on your DMs ’cause someone could be hiding in there. But don’t start any conversation with a political statement, just to be on the safe side, okay?

AAE Pro Tip: A date could be a no-show this week, prepare for backups.

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Work has been super cray lately and you’re just not able to catch your breath and tell your boss to fuck off in a decent way. So, maybe this week, you need a new game plan to deal with all that nonsense. Having a one-on-one with them might be a good way to strike a balance at work but muting them and turning off notifications of group chats is even better. Remember, sometimes, striking silently is the right answer.

AAE Pro Tip: Speaking of striking silently, your sibling needs to learn an important lesson.

Have a lovely week.
