EXTRA | Weekly horoscope from October 19 to 25: think twice before sending that message

The week of October 19 to 25 may surprise you when you least expect it, but it will also require you to be careful with what you say. Think twice before you send that message, especially if you're angry or you have something pending with someone. An impulsive reply could complicate a situation that, with a bit of patience, would have a much simpler solution.

During the first days, the square between Venus and Pluto on Tuesday 20 could bring to light something that has been hidden for a long time. You may discover what someone close to you really thinks, or you may have to face an uncomfortable conversation about money, jealousy, or broken promises. Although you may not like what you hear at first, knowing the truth will help you understand many things.

But the big surprise could arrive starting Friday 23, when Scorpio season begins and, the next day, Mercury starts its retrograde. Someone from your past could write to you again, or you may receive that explanation you have been waiting for for such a long time. Don't be hasty in replying, because what seems like good news could also stir up feelings you thought you had already overcome.

On Sunday 25, retrograde Venus will return to Libra and will make you look at some of your relationships with new eyes. You may realize that you have given up too much for someone, or you may discover that an honest conversation is enough to solve a misunderstanding. Not all the surprises of this week will be bad, and some could restore the peace of mind you have been seeking for a long time.

What awaits each Zodiac sign from October 19 to 25?

♈ Aries: a breakdown may have an unexpected solution

Something that you use every day will start to fail. It may be the coffee maker, a lamp, or some device that you were already thinking of replacing. Before you buy a new one, check how much it costs to repair it. It may only need a part replaced.

Over the weekend you will have the chance to take part in an activity that you would normally just watch. It may be a workshop, a group game, or a demonstration where the audience is invited to participate. Encourage yourself to try it, even if you don't have any experience.

♉ Taurus: a visit will disrupt your schedule

Someone who only planned to stop by your home for a while will end up staying much longer. An interesting conversation may come up, or you may end up preparing something to eat together. Leave a bit of room in your schedule so you can enjoy the meeting without constantly checking the time.

You will also have to choose between two options for an important purchase. Don't look only at the price. Ask about durability, maintenance, and return conditions. The cheapest option doesn't always turn out to be the most convenient.

♊ Gemini: a photograph will spark your curiosity

An image that someone shows you may lead you to discover a place that you did not know. It may be a nearby town, a striking building, or a landscape that you would like to see in person. Find out where it is and look for a date to visit it.

This week someone will also ask you to teach something you learned a long time ago. It may be a recipe, an app, or a practical skill. Explain the steps patiently and let the other person try it on their own.

♋ Cancer: there will be a guest you were not expecting

A meal or gathering that seemed completely organized will change when someone confirms at the last minute that they will attend. You will have to add a place at the table, modify the menu, or rearrange the space. Don't make things complicated by trying to keep the plan exactly as it was.

Meanwhile, you could receive news about a business or service that you use regularly. It may change ownership, move, or announce a new schedule. Check the details before you go by habit to the usual address.

♌ Leo: you'll be asked for an opinion that's hard to give

Someone will show you something that they have been working on for a long time and will want to know what you really think. It may be a creative project, a renovation, or a makeover. If you find something that you would improve, say it tactfully. A specific observation will help more than praise given out of obligation.

You will also receive an invitation to attend as audience at an unusual activity. A recording, an open rehearsal, or a competition may give you the opportunity to learn how something works that you usually only see from the outside.

♍ Virgo: you'll end up talking to the person you least expected

A change of seat in a meeting, a class, or a trip will make you coincide with someone you had barely spoken to. What begins as a polite conversation may end up revealing a shared interest. You may even agree to meet again.

With the arrival of colder days, pay attention to what you have on the balcony or terrace. Some plant or piece of furniture may need protection from rain and wind. Make the necessary changes before the bad weather arrives.

♎ Libra: be careful about becoming everyone's driver

A group plan may end up depending on your car. Before you offer to pick up several people, check where each one lives and how long the route will take you. Don't agree to detours that will force you to spend half the afternoon driving.

On Sunday 25, retrograde Venus returns to your sign. It will be a good opportunity to resume an activity that you used to enjoy with your partner or with a friend. It may be enough to start having breakfast again at your favorite spot or to resume a walk that you used to take together.

♏ Scorpio: your season begins with a change of plans

On Friday 23 the Sun enters your sign and your season begins. This year you may feel like celebrating your birthday in a different way. You may prefer to gather fewer people, change the place, or do something you have been wanting to try for a long time. Don't organize a celebration just because others are expecting it.

A proposal related to a date in November may also arrive. Check your calendar before you commit. Over the coming weeks, interesting plans will arise, but you don't have to try to fit them all in.

♐ Sagittarius: this week you should change something in your bedroom

If lately you find it hard to sleep well or you wake up more tired, there may be something in your room that is affecting your rest. It may be the light that comes in through the blinds, the heat that builds up during the night, or some noise that you hardly notice during the day. Before you change your schedule or your routines, try solving one of these small details and see whether you manage to sleep better.

This week you could also learn surprising news about a place you have known for years and for which you have a special affection. The closing of an establishment you used to visit, the renovation of a landmark building, or some change that completely transforms an area full of memories may be announced. If you have been thinking about going back for a while, don't keep putting it off, because this may be a good opportunity to reconnect with a part of your past.

♑ Capricorn: you'll have to improvise in front of everyone

A meeting, a presentation, or a group activity may suddenly change. The person who was supposed to take part may be missing, some material may fail, or the planned order may be altered. You will have to adapt without much time to prepare. Focus on solving the immediate issues instead of trying to make everything turn out exactly as it was planned.

Toward the end of the week you could receive a small amount of money that you were not expecting. It may be compensation, a tip, or a payment you had forgotten about. Even if it isn't much, it will allow you to treat yourself without altering your usual expenses.

♒ Aquarius: a mistake may lead you to an interesting place

A small error in following directions or in looking for an address may make you end up in a place you didn't know. You may discover a curious shop, a building that catches your eye, or a corner you will want to return to with more time.

There will also be news in a group you belong to. Someone may join, someone may leave, or a rule you all took for granted may change. Before you give your opinion, listen to how the decision will affect others.

♓ Pisces: don't keep the whole day free for someone who doesn't confirm

You've been trying to finalize a plan for a while, but the other person still has not told you whether they will be able to attend. This week you will have to set a limit to how long you wait. Ask when they will be able to confirm, and if you don't receive a reply, make plans on your own.

Over the weekend you could find tickets for an activity you thought was sold out. It may be a show, a special visit, or a session with limited seating. Check availability on the official website before you assume that you have missed the opportunity.

Ritual of the week: turn a cup over before Mercury retrograde

For this ritual you only need a cup that you use regularly. You can do it on the night of Friday 23, after Scorpio season begins and before Mercury starts its retrograde.

Place an empty cup upside down on a table and leave it like that for a few minutes. Meanwhile, think about a recent conversation that you did not fully understand. Remember something that someone said to you and that you may have interpreted too quickly.

Afterward, slowly turn it over. As you do so, think about a question you would like to ask in order to clarify that situation. You don't need to say it out loud or write it down.

Put the cup back in its place and use it as usual the next day. The act of turning it over represents the possibility of looking at the same conversation from another perspective. During the week, if the occasion arises, try to ask that question before you draw your own conclusions.
