Step right up, because your horoscope for the week of October 24 to October 30 is a wild ride from start to finish. You’re approaching one of the most climactic (and dramatic) weeks of 2022, as you’re gearing up to embrace major changes that may already be unfolding. Like it or not, the universe is forcing you to leave behind your comfort zone and experience true growth.
This week begins with a bang, as a solar eclipse will take place at exactly 2 degrees Scorpio on October 25. Reaching its peak at 6:49 a.m. ET, this heavy and soulful solar eclipse is shining a light on what’s no longer working for you and holding your hand as you leave behind what you’ve already outgrown. If you’ve been feeling lost or meandering, this solar eclipse may be what redirects your attention to what truly matters. Because this solar eclipse takes place in the same zodiac sign as the South Node—which represents the energy you’re moving away from—it may show you that your destiny lies elsewhere; somewhere far from where you imagined it would.
As Mercury in Scorpio forms a trine with passionate Mars on October 26 and a square with secretive Pluto on October 27, you may spend the rest of the week discussing difficult, but necessary topics. And while you may feel passionate about making your point, it’s important to keep your intention in mind. Don’t allow petty impulses to diminish the magnitude of what’s at stake!

Another major transition takes place on October 28, when Jupiter retrogrades back into its Pisces, where it will remain until December. This will be Jupiter’s last trip through the emotional lagoon of the its home zodiac sign until 2033, making this a powerful time to spread love, compassion and creative connection. You may find that some of the themes that were present in your life during the early months of 2022 are resurfacing with renewed clarity. It’s time to see how far you’ve come (and how much work there’s still left to do).
As the week comes to an end, you may find yourself becoming more introverted and introspective. As chatty Mercury enters sensitive and investigative Scorpio on October 29, you may feel the desire to probe taboo topics and dig for emotional truths. But as Mars—planet of conflict and drive—stations retrograde at 25 degrees Gemini on October 30, you may find it harder to put your feelings into words that not only make sense, but align with your authentic frequency. This retrograde is reminding you that words can be a distraction just as easily as they can give you a sense of direction.
Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming week, according to your sun and/or rising sign (and seriously, you’re missing out if you don’t read these horoscopes for your rising sign):
