Your Weekly Horoscope Says You May Feel Exhausted, Thanks to an Eclipse Hangover

Your horoscope for the week of October 15 to 21 arrives on the heels of a majorly exhausting solar eclipse, so take your time getting your engines going.

In astrology, an eclipse is believed to drain your vitality, as it occurs when the light from the sun is obscured and its rays are therefore considered “baneful”. Take care of yourself as this week begins, as you’re still processing deep internal—and external—changes, thanks to the “ring of fire” solar eclipse in Libra. In fact, you could even call your exhaustion an eclipse “hangover”.

You may feel compelled to talk about—or even obsess over—what has transpired over the past few weeks as chatty Mercury squares off with dark and revealing Pluto on October 20. Power struggles in your relationships will be highlighted, forcing you to choose between compromising or protecting your own needs. If conflicts ensue, have faith that a mess can be the most motivating force of change. Discomfort can’t be avoided in life, but we do have control over the way we react to it. As the sun in Libra later squares off with Pluto on October 21, you may find that your identity is shifting as you struggle to find your footing in what feels out of your hands. Have faith that darkness will always be followed by light, especially if it feels pitch black.

The next few weeks are bound to be filled with changes, as you’re currently existing in the liminal space between a solar eclipse in Libra that took place on October 14 and an upcoming lunar eclipse in Taurus on October 28. You may feel as though your life is in limbo, but you have so many options and opportunities waiting for you on the other side. In the meantime, let the Universe do its thing.
