This Week The Eclipse Corridor Sends Us All For A Loop—So Expect The Unexpected

Life could feel more surreal than a Bansky pop-up exhibit this week, so be gentle with yourself as you move through your days. We are officially in the eclipse corridor—the two weeks between the October 14 solar eclipse in Libra and the forthcoming lunar eclipse in Taurus that’s due on October 28.

What to hide and what to reveal? The answer to that question could befuddle us all this week as the live-out-loud Libra Sun gets into a tangled angle with furtive Pluto in “keeping up appearances” Capricorn.

Even if you've earned your bragging rights, keep trade secrets on the down-low until trust has been established. It's just too hard to read the room during a Sun-Pluto square, which is at its strongest on Saturday, October 21. Competitors may be lurking—or jealous haters who can't stand to see anyone else shine. Protect your dreams like the priceless gems they are by "shielding your field" and being discerning about the company you keep.

The truth is, we all have a shadow side. Should yours peek out, don’t judge yourself; Just take some action to mitigate the impact. Set aside meditative alone time to tune in to your thoughts and ask for reassurance if you're wondering whether a certain someone has your back.

The stars deliver a much-needed reality check on Saturday, thanks to the quarter moon in Capricorn, the most grounded of all earth signs.

If your mind has been spinning out with, “What if…?” scenarios, pick one or two of them and play them out, one step at a time. If X were to happen, then what? And what would happen after that? Keep going until you get to a natural conclusion.

On Sunday, Venus gets back into her free-flowing groove when she teams up with generous Jupiter to form a harmonious trine (120-degree angle). With these two “benefics” singing a dynamic duet, all forms of love are meant to be celebrated.

But when it comes to romance, these two sweet talkers can make big, bold promises, especially since both planets are cruising through stabilizing earth signs. Since Jupiter is the global nomad and cross-cultural ambassador, this is a great weekend to diversify your dating portfolio or turn a brunch date into a daylong (or overnight) road trip.

Need to clear the air with bae? Diplomatic Venus softens candid Jupiter's straight-shooting edge, ensuring that even the toughest sentiments to express won't get lost in translation.
