The Planets this Week: October 16 - 22, 2016

Aired Monday, 17 October 2016, 9:00 PM ET

How will this week’s planetary influences be affecting you?

At the end of the week the Sun will be moving into Scorpio where it will stay until November 21st.

During the Sun’s stay in Scorpio, you may get in touch with deeper and darker aspects of yourself. You’re not interested in the superficial; instead you want to dive into the depths and uncover what’s hidden beneath the surface.

You might seem mysterious to others, and may reveal yourself only to those who have proven that they can be trusted. Your feelings are intense; you might be afraid you’ll scare people away if they see how passionate and extreme you can be.

In reality, you’re probably scared of being vulnerable. But if you hide emotions, you’ll miss out on the intimacy you’re longing for. If you risk revealing yourself, you can deepen and strengthen bonds with a significant other.

Your desire to explore the depths and use your intuitive powers to uncover hidden motivations could lead you to study psychology or astrology. Investigation and research can also be rewarding.

You have focus and willpower to complete any project, which means digging until you get to the root of the issue. You’re relentless in your pursuit of truth.

Under the influence of the Scorpio Sun, you have the potential to heal from old wounds and transform a stagnant situation. The key is being willing to let go of the past, release what you’ve outgrown, and forgive yourself and others.
