Your weekly horoscope is here.

The most significant days of the week will be on Oct. 24-25, according to professional astrologer Monica Morales of OM.MNL.

"The buildup begins on Oct. 20, when Venus retrograde in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius," she told PhilSTAR L!fe, adding that this is when attraction, jealousy, financial tensions, or power struggles could intensify.

On Oct. 23, private matters and shared resources may be brought up as the Sun enters Scorpio.

The following day, Oct. 24, would mark an "important turning point" in the Venus retrograde cycle. "Just hours later, Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio, bringing conversations, information, and agreements up for review," she said. "Venus then returns to Libra on Oct. 25, shifting attention toward relationships, cooperation, and diplomacy."

"With so many developments happening close together, pay attention to what needs addressing now and what may require more time," the astrology expert advised all signs.

Curious as to how the week will go for your zodiac sign in particular this Oct. 19-25? Check out Morales' forecast below. (Note: For a fuller look at what's ahead, it's best to read your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs altogether. Your Sun reflects your core identity and the week’s central themes, your Moon speaks to your emotional world, while your Rising sign can offer clues to where these developments may show up most visibly in everyday life.)

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

A shared bill, loan, or repayment may need sorting out. Check the amounts and due dates before agreeing to cover someone else’s share. With Mercury turning retrograde, take time to correct any financial oversight. 

Venus returns to your partnership house on Sunday. If you and your partner have been putting off a conversation, this could be an opportunity to revisit it.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You may need to revisit a client agreement, contract, or promise made to someone close. Get specific about the terms, especially if circumstances have changed. Mercury turning retrograde in your partnership house could bring another round of discussions or negotiations. 

A conversation about exclusivity, commitment, or where a relationship is heading may need revisiting. Be specific about what each of you expects.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Something in your daily schedule may not run as smoothly as planned. Work instructions could change, or an appointment may need rescheduling. Leave room for follow-ups rather than packing your calendar too tightly. Pay attention to your health if you’ve been overworking. 

Venus returns to your romance sector on Sunday. A date, favorite activity, or shared hobby could bring some welcome enjoyment.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Plans involving children, a celebration, or a creative project may need adjustments. If you’re organizing an event or working on something artistic, allow time for revisions. The Venus cazimi in your romance and creativity sector could bring fresh inspiration or renewed interest in an old passion. 

Dating could feel unusually intense. Enjoy getting to know someone without deciding too quickly where the connection must lead.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

A household issue could return, whether it’s a repair, a lease detail, or a relative’s request. Check what can realistically be done before making arrangements. Mercury retrograde may also bring changes to plans involving your home or living situation. 

In love and relationships, a short outing or change of scene together could be refreshing. If you’re single, don’t overlook opportunities to meet someone locally.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

You may need to follow up on an application, delivery, or message that hasn’t reached the right person. Don’t assume silence means rejection; an important detail may simply be missing. Double-check documents, appointments and short trips, and keep copies of important correspondence. 

If dating feels expensive, suggest a simpler plan. Good company shouldn’t require an elaborate night out.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Review a purchase, payment, or financial commitment before confirming it. Compare prices and check the details, especially for expensive items. Your ruling planet Venus returns to Libra on Sunday, bringing renewed attention to your personal plans, appearance and how you want to present yourself. 

In the romance department, you may find yourself getting more attention, including from someone you already know. Enjoy it, but be selective about which invitations you accept.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Birthday season begins as the Sun enters your sign on Friday. With Venus cazimi and Mercury turning retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday, you may want to revise a personal plan, announcement, or project before sharing it widely. Give yourself room to make adjustments.

A private attraction or romantic situation may be on your mind as Venus returns to your 12th house. Keep things discreet if necessary, but don’t leave the other person confused about your intentions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

An unfinished task or confidential matter may require attention. Set aside some uninterrupted time to review it rather than squeezing everything between other commitments. If you’ve been exhausted, don’t ignore your need for rest. Venus returns to your social sector on Sunday. 

In love, spending time with friends could bring some fun back into your relationship. Singles may enjoy meeting new people through group activities.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

A team activity, event, or community project may need a revised plan. Someone could change their availability, leaving you to adjust schedules or responsibilities. Confirm arrangements before assuming everyone is still on board. Venus returning to Libra may also bring a familiar professional contact back into view. 

Someone could show interest in you through your work or public activities. Enjoy the attention, but maintain appropriate professional boundaries.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

A presentation, job application, professional profile, or announcement may need revisions. If a supervisor or client wants an immediate answer, confirm exactly what is being asked. Mercury turning retrograde in your career sector makes checking details especially important before anything becomes public. 

Ready to meet someone new or strengthen your relationship? A shared class, trip or cultural event could offer a welcome change from your usual routine. Check dates before making bookings.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

A course, trip, application or publishing plan may need updating. Mercury retrograde in your ninth house could mean changing a timetable or resubmitting documents. Check important requirements, especially if you’re dealing with an overseas institution or waiting for a response. 

Conversations about intimacy and personal boundaries may become important. Be specific about what you’re comfortable sharing with a partner.
