This week is a good time to take a quick look in the mirror and give yourself a reality check. If not everything, you can benefit from working on your surface-level habits. Here’s your horoscope for October 9-15.

1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

Dear Aries, enough of playing on everyone’s team and living on the back foot. The Libra season reminds you that you are the main character and need to channel some of that energy this week. You’ll feel a rush of creativity and an urge to change things a little. So, don’t let anyone hold you back from turning your life around to make it suit your needs. It is time to build bigger things, love, so start working on investing in yourself.

AAE Pro Tip: More than your wardrobe, your personality needs a glow-up, focus on that.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

Things have been hit-and-miss for you for a while, Taurus. But it looks like the horoscope for October 9-15 is bringing a conclusion to old chapters. So, use this week to get closure on things and people that didn’t work out for you. But remember the lessons you’ve learnt because those are invaluable for future endeavours. The Libra season is bringing new opportunities for you, so clear your plate and be ready to embrace them.

AAE Pro Tip: Relationships can feel a little overwhelming this week, so get and give some space.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

Mundane isn’t your middle name, Gemini, so why do I see you living that life? It’s the Libra season and you must break free of your monotonous routines and bring in some change. It doesn’t have to be financially draining, but if you want to redo your whole room, you do you, love. Just get some company that cheers you on instead of giving you logic and reason. You don’t need that rn.

AAE Pro Tip: Side hustles or chicks are nice for a while. You gotta start taking life seriously eventually.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

It’s time to start living your life rather than cribbing about it. And the Libra season energy will finally get to you this week. Enough of waiting for great things to happen to you because it is time to go for it and make your own path. It might be scary at first, but it will be fun to be your own boss and let your emotions lead the way. Just don’t let them lead you back to any toxic job or person because that road should remain less travelled.

AAE Pro Tip: You might bump into the potential maybe love of your life this week, so keep an eye out.

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

Less stressed, more blessed is your mantra for this week, Leo. You are doing everything you can to be a better and more well-rounded human being. So, why take the external pressure and worry about not being enough when you are clearly trying to do a decent job? The horoscope for October 9-15 wants to remind you that staying consistent with the changes that come into your life is the only way to conquer it all. So, don’t let your doubts overshadow your hard work and efforts.

AAE Pro Tip: You need a timeout. Go hang around with your friends or something, but get away from work. 

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

Deep breaths, Virgo, deep breaths. I know that you aren’t a fan of the breezy air season. But even you can learn and benefit from change sometimes. Your work life is getting dreadfully busy and you are having a hard time trying to cope. So, why not speak to someone who can make your life less miserable rather than putting up an ‘I got this’ facade? Seeking help will not make you any less of a tough guy, just FYI.

AAE Pro Tip: Alcohol can make life less miserable, but talking to the bottle is extremely optional and depends on your level of drunkenness. 

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

How are my birthday baddies doing? I’m sure you’re loving being in the spotlight and getting all that pampering and attention from people. But, my dearest Libra, birthday season is not just about all the glitz, glam, and gifts. It is also a time to reflect on how far you’ve come and how much you’ve changed as a person. So, count your blessings, be grateful, and learn from the years you’ve left behind how to be more of a kickass and kind human.

AAE Pro Tip: Gift yourself some spontaneity this year and say yes to your wildest thoughts this week. 

8. Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

The horoscope for October 9-15 is going to bring some sunshine to your otherwise bleak week. Yeah, I know, being a pawn in someone else’s game is just not your vibe. But sometimes, we must observe before we strike back with our best move, Scorpio. So, take your time, don’t be hasty, and plan your next move carefully. This could possibly land you in a great spot, both personally and professionally.

AAE Pro Tip: Matters of the heart might mess with your mind, strike a balance to make peace. 

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

Someone doesn’t look too happy reading the weekly horoscope from their work desk again. Well, well, my lovely Sagittarius, you’re the master of your universe. You can make or break anything if you put your mind to it. So, how do you plan to proceed? Do you wanna sulk about it or do you wanna find a way to get what you deserve? The decision is yours and only yours, darling. Just remember, it is not the end of the world and there is hope of redemption for all, including you.

AAE Pro Tip: Doing things that scare the daylight out of you is the theme for this week. Go for it. 

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

Looks like someone is finally in their ‘I want it, I got it’ era but with some mindful thinking and consistent effort. The horoscope for October 9-15 wants to let you know that channelling your inner Capricorn vibe will really benefit you this week. So, no more procrastinating because that has never been your game plan. Get down to talking, turning it into an actionable plan, and working to get it.

AAE Pro Tip: Change might not be your best friend, but don’t see it as an enemy either. 

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

You are giving me some serious ringmaster vibes this week, Aquarius, and I hope I’m not wrong. You can feel the air of change around you, and instead of repelling it, you are curious enough to embrace it. But I must remind you to learn to walk first and then aim for a sprint. Things will not change overnight, but if you put your creative and resilient mind to it, you may be able to see some results in a few fortnights.

AAE Pro Tip: Enough of talking dirty, it is time to get down to doing some actual work. 

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

It seems like you’ve got a lot on your plate this week, but don’t fear, my dear. The Libra season is like that chatty friend who has a solution to everyone’s problems, even when you didn’t ask for it. So, this week, that colleague of yours who might not be your favourite will actually be the team player you always needed. You don’t need to be besties with her, but as long as you are benefiting from each other, a cordial equation couldn’t harm you.

AAE Pro Tip: You don’t have to test your niceness with your exes just because you’re being cordial with others. 

No matter how many times you chant and pray to the lord, if someone is gonna ghost you, they will. Stop being so accessible to everyone, period. Have a lovely week.
