Weekly Horoscope: October 18-October 24

This is the week the sky officially trades its cardigan for black leather, stargazer. Sunday’s First Quarter Moon hands out a firm shove toward whatever you’ve been circling since the New Moon. Tuesday gets intense when Pluto’s square to Venus peaks, and anything you’ve been pretending not to want could come pouring out. Let it spill. Feelings are allowed to be messy. Wednesday’s Pisces Moon follows up with a warm hug and a little perspective.

Friday opens Scorpio season, and Venus cozies up to the Sun that very night, making the whole world a little bit obsessive. On Saturday, Mercury goes retrograde right in the middle of it all, egged on by squares from Jupiter and Mars. So yes, an ex might resurface, and a plan or two could implode. Read everything twice and sleep on anything spicy before you reply. Scorpio season was never, ever going to be boring.

How will your sign fare this week?

Aries: March 21 – April 19

That little typing bubble pops up and then vanishes, and you’re already pacing around the living room. Mars starts squaring Mercury on Thursday, Aries, which turns every slow reply into a test of your patience. You’ll want to send a follow-up, then a follow-up to the follow-up. Put the phone down and let them answer on their own sweet time.

Mercury turns retrograde on Saturday, so expect a few crossed wires and at least one message that gets read the wrong way. Assume good intent before you fire back. By evening, the Moon trines Mars and hands you a burst of energy that needs somewhere to go. Spend it on a long run or a dance floor instead of an argument.

Aries monthly horoscope

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

Ever notice how your body reads someone long before your brain catches up? Venus pairs with Haumea, the dwarf planet of instinct, from Sunday through Tuesday, so trust those gut reactions, Taurus. Pluto’s square to Venus peaks Tuesday too, dragging a relationship’s power balance into the open. Your instincts already know exactly who’s been pulling their weight and who hasn’t.

After that, Wednesday’s Moon trines Venus and makes it easier to say what you noticed calmly, without starting a fight. On Friday, Venus meets the Sun in Scorpio, your opposite sign and the part of the sky tied to partnership. Whoever belongs in your inner circle will be remarkably easy to spot. Hold onto them a little tighter this weekend.

Taurus monthly horoscope

Gemini: May 21 – June 20

A name you haven’t seen in years is about to light up your phone. Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday, and the days leading up to it have a habit of dragging old connections back into view. Curiosity is your love language, Gemini, so you’ll want to dive right in. Before you reply, take a beat and wonder why now.

Jupiter’s square to Mercury can make the good old days look a lot rosier than they were, and Mars adds its own square on Thursday, so old arguments could flare right back up. Late that night, a gentle Moon trine to Mercury helps you sense whether this reunion has a future or just a past. Trust whatever answer you get.

Gemini monthly horoscope

Cancer: June 21 – July 22

The holiday plans are already creeping into family conversations, and it’s barely Halloween. Sunday’s First Quarter Moon in Capricorn asks you to make a call instead of letting everyone else decide for you. Pick where you’d like to spend the season and who you’d like close by. Guilt will try to cast a vote, Cancer. Your comfort counts here, too.

Wednesday is your best day to share the plan. With the Moon in fellow water sign Pisces trining both the Sun and Venus, even the touchiest relative should take it surprisingly well. If someone grumbles anyway, Saturday morning’s Moon-Saturn conjunction helps you stand firm without raising your voice. You can protect your peace and still be the warmest person there.

Cancer monthly horoscope

Leo: July 23 – August 22

Brace yourself for someone who’s absolutely convinced they should be calling the shots. Pluto starts squaring the Sun this week, Leo, which brings out the control freaks in your orbit just as the Sun slides into Scorpio on Friday. Your first instinct will be to out-roar them, and that’s exactly the fight they’re hoping for. So don’t hand it over.

Charm is your better weapon here, especially once Jupiter’s lucky streak fades. On Friday, Venus joins the Sun and makes you magnetic enough to win people over without breaking a sweat. Wednesday’s Moon trine to the Sun works as a warm-up, so test out your diplomacy then. Let them posture. You’ll leave with the allies, and they’ll leave wondering what happened.

Leo monthly horoscope

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

While everyone else panics about Mercury going retrograde on Saturday, you’ll be over here color-coding a backup plan. This is basically your championship season, Virgo. Jupiter’s square to Mercury keeps tempting you to expand every project, so lock down the scope while you still can. Double-check the details on anything important before Friday, and you’ll sail through the reversal smoothly.

Fair warning: everyone will want you to untangle their messes, too. Tuesday’s Moon-Mercury square could leave you frazzled if you say yes to all of them. Help the people who’d do the same for you, and let the rest wait. By late Thursday, even with Mars squaring Mercury, a soothing Moon trine to Mercury gives your overworked brain a well-earned break.

Virgo monthly horoscope

Libra: September 23 – October 22

Half the stuff in your closet was bought for someone you used to be. Pluto’s square to Venus peaks Tuesday, bringing an itch to purge whatever no longer matches your taste, Libra. Go with it. Keep the pieces that still make you feel gorgeous, and pass along the rest to someone who’ll love them. That rule works on habits and plans, too.

Wednesday’s Moon trine to Venus makes the cleared-out space feel like a fresh breath. Friday closes out your season as the Sun moves into Scorpio and joins Venus, resetting what you value most. Think of it as a birthday gift to yourself, wrapped in good taste. Spend the weekend surrounded by nothing but the things and people you adore.

Libra monthly horoscope

Scorpio glyph

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

It’s officially your season as of Friday, and Pluto has no intention of keeping the welcome party low-key. Now direct, Pluto squares both Venus and the Sun in your sign this week, Scorpio, so expect every feeling to come in at full volume. The overnight Moon-Pluto conjunction early Monday might keep you wide awake thinking about someone you can’t shake.

Pluto’s square to Venus peaks Tuesday, pushing you toward the scariest move on the board: letting them see you without the armor. You’ve spent years perfecting that poker face. Retire it for one night and see what happens. Friday night’s supportive Moon-Pluto sextile makes it feel safer to open up than you’d expect. Not a bad way to kick off your birthday month.

Scorpio monthly horoscope

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

Somewhere out there, a stranger is wrong about something, and you’ve already cracked your knuckles. Jupiter’s square to Mercury pours gasoline on every opinion you’ve got this week, Sagittarius. By Tuesday night, when the Moon opposes Jupiter, you’ll be three soapboxes deep and swearing it’s all for the greater good. Your passion is easily half the reason people adore you.

Here’s the problem. Mercury flips retrograde on Saturday, and every scorching take you toss out this week could come back to haunt you, possibly with witnesses. Jupiter’s sextile to the Sun wraps up Friday, too, so don’t count on charming your way out of it. Win the argument the smart way, by asking one good question first. Then torch them, lovingly.

Sagittarius monthly horoscope

Capricorn glyph

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

Every new person in your life gets a probation period, and someone’s been stuck in yours for months. Sunday’s First Quarter Moon in your sign marks a decision point, and the sky votes for giving them a fair shot. Your frosty first impression is legendary, Capricorn, but it’s starting to cost you good company. Monday evening’s Moon-Saturn sextile makes the thaw easier.

The good news about this one: they keep coming through. Saturday morning, the Moon joins Saturn and puts their reliability in plain view. They’re not running a scheme or angling for anything. Let them carry something heavy for a change. You might be shocked by how good it feels to split the load with someone who clearly wants to help.

Capricorn monthly horoscope

Aquarius glyphs

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

For a professional rule-breaker, you sure follow a lot of your own rules. Never text first. Never admit you liked the popular thing. Uranus is retrograde, Aquarius, which makes this the perfect week to rebel against the one person you never challenge: yourself. Monday, while the Moon sits in your sign and trines Uranus, pick one rule and break it on purpose.

Wednesday evening’s Moon-Uranus square will try to talk you back into the old script. Ignore it. Text first and ask the dumb question. Admit you love the popular thing, even if your inner contrarian twitches a little. The most punk move available this week is surprising yourself. Odds are those old rules were just fear wearing a cool jacket.

Aquarius monthly horoscope

Pisces glyph

Pisces: February 19 – March 20

Raise your hand if you’ve mentally moved to a tiny seaside cottage at least twice this month alone. The Moon floats into your sign on Wednesday, Pisces, and those escape fantasies are about to get vivid. Let yourself picture every glorious detail, from the creaky porch to the salty air. Daydreams are where some of your very best plans begin.

Friday evening, the Moon meets Neptune in Aries, and that fiery placement wants your fantasy to earn its keep. You don’t have to quit everything and buy the cottage. Pull one piece of the dream into your actual life, whether that’s a weekend by the water or a candle that smells like the ocean. Tiny doses of magic still count.

How to Find Your Purpose in Life, According to a Therapist

As the self-proclaimed most anxious person in this world, I have faced just about every type of anxiety known to man. But one type that caught my attention online this morning was purpose anxiety, aaka the anxiety experienced when you feel a lack of purpose in life.

I spoke with a therapist about her opinion on this form of anxiety—and how we can all find purpose in our own lives.

What Is Purpose Anxiety?

Purpose anxiety is exactly as it sounds: anxiety about your perceived purpose in life—or lack thereof.

“Purpose anxiety is the discomfort felt about living a life without meaning or strong conviction around what you want to accomplish,” says Dr. Ayla Ludwig, Ph.D., Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Career Counselor. “It can create a sense of existential dread where a person fears that their life is worthless and nothing they do matters.”

According to Ludwig, “Viktor Frankl, the father of logotherapy, famously said, ‘He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.” Having a sense of purpose is incredibly powerful and can build fortitude, tolerance, and drive in life.

“Feeling like your life has purpose is immensely beneficial,” says Ludwig. “It contributes to resiliency and general life satisfaction. It is often the foundation for goal setting, connection with others, and having something that drives you forward throughout your life.”

How to Find Your Purpose

While having a sense of purpose is important, it’s not always easy to find your own, which can contribute to purpose anxiety.

“Finding a sense of purpose comes down to intentionally choosing to discover meaning in your life,” says Ludwig. “This is cultivated through being curious about your experiences and investigating the personal meaning you find as you connect with other people, contribute to the world through art of volunteer work, or recognizing adversity and acknowledging how you choose to bear it.”

Your purpose doesn’t have to be some life-saving, heroic role you step into each morning. No matter how “small” or “insignificant” it might seem, if it matters to you, that’s all that counts. 

For example, I find purpose in writing my fiction novels, poetry, and even articles like this one. Is that as impactful as, say, curing cancer? Of course, not. But if I help even one person—including myself—feel more connected, inspired, or understood in this world, then I’m living out my purpose.

“You can cultivate meaning on your own by asking yourself: What creative gifts do I have that I can offer others?, What experiences have I received from encountering others in relationships?, and What values have I realized since taking a stance on situations or circumstances?” Ludwig notes. “By answering these questions, you can begin to put together a sense of meaning guided by your life experience.”

And, of course, if you experience crippling purpose anxiety, consider therapy to help address your concerns or lack of fulfillment.

“If you find yourself navigating purpose anxiety, I recommend connecting with a therapist who practices existential or logotherapy,” Ludwig shares. “They will be an excellent guide as you work your way towards discovering meaning in your life.”

How to Write a Book Without Giving Up on It Halfway Through: A Guide

For the past several months, I’ve been writing my second novel—a story that means more to me than I can put into words (and that’s coming from an author). There’s something indescribably fulfilling yet cripplingly vulnerable about crafting an entire world, fit with complex characters and achingly relatable plots, from the depths of your own soul.

It’s an experience I wish everyone could have at some point in their lives, and one that isn’t reserved for just the “professionals.” If you’re interested in writing a book, follow these tips for a more seamless process. 

1. Treat Each Book Like a Marriage

While writing my current book, I’ve been tempted to trash the entire manuscript a handful of times. In fact, over the last few years, I’ve started, discarded, and restarted a few different novels, making little progress on any projects due to my lack of commitment. You can’t write a book when your focus is divided among countless other pursuits.

Writing a book is much like tying the metaphorical knot: you must commit to one idea and find a way to see it through. Sure, there will be plenty of other tempting concepts out there. Some might tease a simpler path, while others might test your loyalty along the way. Choose the story that lights your soul on fire—and prove your dedication until you have nothing else left to give it.

2. Create a Writing Ritual

Sometimes, I feel as though ideas land in my brain from somewhere above—God? The Universe? My higher self who knows exactly what narratives I need to dive into?—and I’m just the conduit for them. When I enter a flow state, words pour out of me so forcefully that it’s difficult for my fingers to keep up. They tip-tap their way across my keyboard as the emotion builds in my chest, seeking its final, poetic escape.

For me, writing is a spiritual experience—and I treat it as such. I have specific candles that are dedicated to novel-writing sessions, curated playlists with songs for each scene, and meditative practices that help me transition back into the world I’m creating. Whatever you need, be it a steaming cup of coffee, a moody environment, or a dozen scattered papers with scribbled notes covering your desk, honor your unique writing ritual.

3. Experiment With Method Acting

Many actors use method acting to improve their performance. This technique helps the artist get into the mind of their character to better understand their thoughts, feelings, perspectives, and quirks. Writers can engage in the same practice.

For example, maybe your main character is an edgy, daring individual, while you—the writer—are cautious and reserved. Challenge yourself to “try on” your character’s traits. Maybe this looks like embracing a bolder style, taking kickboxing, or getting out of your comfort zone in some way. You might be surprised what you learn—both about yourself and your character.

4. Lean Into Passion When You’re Feeling Discouraged

Writing it isn’t always pretty. It takes real guts and grit to be a writer—to transmute your pain for all to witness. And, of course, there are the more logistical aspects of penning a novel: the relentless editing, fact-checking, researching, proofreading, storybuilding…

Not only do you need discipline to keep you in line, but you also need passion and love for your story to carry you through the inspirationless nights. Think back to the marriage metaphor from earlier: If you were in a long-term relationship, you (hopefully) wouldn’t walk away at the first sign of trouble. Instead, you’d choose your person day after day, leaning into your love for them to get through tough times. 

Life is filled with uncomfortable, unflattering, and downright defeating moments. When writing becomes too overwhelming, remember why you started in the first place. The world needs your story.

Scientists Found Dozens of Hammerhead Sharks Hanging Out Near Swimmers. Here’s Why.

Shark week has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean we can’t squeeze in a few more shark stories before the year is up.

According to a study published in Marine Biology and detailed by ScienceAlert, scientists analyzing thousands of drone flights off Australia’s east coast discovered that dozens of young scalloped hammerhead sharks are just chilling in the shallow waters right next to popular swimming beaches. The beachgoers are likely just a tiny bit more concerned about the hammerheads than the hammerheads are about the beachgoers.

While reviewing more than 20,000 drone flights for Queensland’s SharkSmart program, researcher Maddison Cross and her team spotted swarms of up to 100 juvenile hammerheads hanging out at tourist hot spots like Burleigh Beach and Noosa Main Beach. These are roughly three-and-a-half-foot-long teenagers.

Why Young Hammerhead Sharks Are Gathering Just off Popular Australian Beaches

The young aquatic predators cluster in shallow surf zones during Australia’s autumn months as scientists suspect that these coastal cluster hangout spots were kind of like a combination safe haven and food court for the sharks, allowing the juveniles to feed on prey that hang out at nearby reefs while offering protection via their safety-in-numbers approach.

Beachgoers are probably worried about shark attacks, but the sharks themselves were the ones in real danger, as these gathering spots overlap with Queensland’s shark control programs, which are often lethal. Shark nets and baited drum lines are responsible for killing over 600 scalloped hammerheads between 2000 and one in 2024; rather unfortunate considering that it’s a critically endangered species.  

Sharks generally mind their own business and will scatter if a human comes near, as evidenced by the fact that paddleboarders and snorkelers occasionally pass through these hang-out clusters, causing the groups to temporarily break up before reforming once the coast is clear, but if you’re planning on a trip down under to take in some of Australia’s gorgeous beaches, just know that there might be hundreds and hundreds of adolescent hammerhead sharks floating just beneath your feet.

The Internet Won’t Stop Sexualizing This Bank’s Sheep Mascot (And the Bank Is Making It Worse)

A New Zealand bank is at the center of one of the weirdest freedom of speech debates likely happening in the world right now, as it’s trying to remove sexually explicit memes from the internet depicting its cute mascot, Buck the Sheep.

Kiwibank unveiled a new cartoon mascot named Buck, an adorable sheep with vibrant green wool, kind of giving it the look of a My Little Pony spinoff character. The internet, being the perv freak show that it is, immediately turned Buck into a sexual icon, thirsting over the animated livestock, posting various sexually explicit things about Buck’s alluring looks.

Kiwibank panicked and started dishing out copyright takedown notices to anyone posting anything it deemed too horny in regards to its green cartoon sheep. The company scrubbed images of its prized sheep from social media outlets, leaving behind messages that read “this media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner.”

A Bank’s Cute Sheep Mascot Is Now at the Center of a Free Speech Fight

In a perfect example of the Streisand effect in full effect, Kiwibank’s attempt to silence the Internet’s horniness only brought the whole thing more attention, eventually garnering the attention of John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight, inspiring thousands of more users to flood their respective social media feeds with even more degenerate fan art.

New Zealand’s Free Speech Union has released an open letter accusing Kiwibank of illegal censorship. The group argues that using copyright law to squash parody, commentary, and memes violates fair use principles. “Copyright protects creative work from being copied,” the union said, “not brands from being laughed at.”

Kiwibank seems to have taken a different tactic, scrubbing Buck from all recent marketing materials rather than going after the memes, in an apparent attempt to kill the source rather than the memes themselves.

I don’t know how to do this in this article, so I’ll just copy and paste the final line from this CTVNews.ca article about this story, because it’s exactly the way that you would imagine a news outlet would awkwardly end a news story about people sexualizing a green cartoon sheep bank mascot: “New Zealand has long been known for having more sheep than people, with a ratio of 4.5 sheep to every person as of 2025.”

Why This 75,000-Year-Old Stabbing Victim Is Changing How We See Neanderthals

Over the past year or so, I’ve covered a lot of Neanderthal-related discoveries. The biggest takeaway from it all is that they weren’t too dissimilar from us, which is in itself a revelation given that for so long we made their very name synonymous with stupid and out of touch. A new study of Neanderthals published recently in Scientific Reports follows that trend of revealing the humanity of the Neanderthal, and it’s all thanks to a stabbing.

Researchers were looking at a 75,000-year-old partial skeleton nicknamed Shanidar A, named after where they found it, the Shanidar Cave in Iraq. It had a circular 15-millimeter puncture on the left shoulder blade. Speaking to Reuters, study lead author Dr. Emma Pomeroy of the University of Cambridge says that the fatal wound was likely caused by a downward thrust from a wooden spear that punched through the chest, into the lung, and through the heart before exiting the back.

Rough stuff. One could even call it distinctly Neanderthal behavior, assuming it was the result of some kind of clash among rivals, even though it could’ve just as easily been an accident.

This Neanderthal May Have Been Killed by a Spear. His Other Injuries Tell a Different Story.

The suggestion of a violent act also reveals a distinctly human, maybe even kind of touching reality upon closer examination: this Neanderthal experienced a degree of empathy. Not in the stabbing that punctured lungs and heart, but in other features. Shanidar A had severe but healed facial trauma that included a mouth of mangled teeth, an injury that the researchers theorize Shanidar A could’ve only survived with communal help since they probably couldn’t properly chew their food.

As Pomeroy said, “The pain would have been extreme, and basic needs like eating and drinking would have been difficult, perhaps meaning Shanidar A needed food mashing and being able to rest. It’s likely that Shanidar A did need some care from members of the group for ​some basic needs during recovery.”

Neanderthals had some real bad PR, but the more we find out about them, the more we realize they weren’t a bunch of stupid brutes that forgot to branch off into higher intelligence like the rest of us. They were violent, but they were also caring, and they knew how to keep their communities alive and thriving, even if, in time, Homo sapiens came out on top.

Does Weed Actually Help You Sleep? Here’s What a New Study Says.

Few, if any, doctors out there will recommend it, but plenty of people use marijuana in some form or another to help them get to sleep. Especially if they suffer from insomnia. But is there even any hard scientific evidence to suggest that weed can help you knock out when you’re physically unable to? Or is everyone just firing up a blunt or downing an edible on a hope and a prayer?

A newly released Cochrane Library review on medical marijuana’s use for insomnia reveals that… nope. It doesn’t actually do a whole lot to help you put to sleep or stay asleep.

Scientists at the University of Manitoba and the Universidad Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires reviewed nine randomized clinical trials involving 537 participants. They found zero reliable evidence that medical-grade weed produces clinically meaningful improvements in total sleep time, sleep quality, or daytime functioning compared to a placebo.

Weed Might Make You Sleepy. Does It Actually Help With Insomnia?

Instead, users mostly gained mild side effects like dry mouth and dizziness, aka common weed side effects, and the kind of stuff you probably don’t want to be experiencing when you just want to fall asleep.

Speaking with Gizmodo, lead author Dr. Lucia Varela points out this doesn’t necessarily prove cannabis is useless for sleep, but rather, the existing pool of research is kind of a mess of small sample size studies that are rarely long-term looks at marijuana use for insomnia and are studies in which the type of weed product being used (joints, tinctures, edibles, etc.) varies wildly.

There’s a lot more work to be done, more studies to be conducted before the broader scientific community can make a judgment call on marijuana as a sleep aid, particularly as a magic bullet for insomnia.

If you’re smoking it or eating it to help you catch some Z’s, you are essentially running your own unsupervised scientific experiment, and probably one that is longer-running than some of the actual studies that have been conducted.

Whatever You Say Bounces Off Me and Sticks to You

Stephen Nellis and Deepa Seetharaman, reporting Wednesday for Reuters:

An OpenAI employee who left the ChatGPT maker for Apple ​sent more than 100 files about an unreleased product to a personal account and later made a presentation about the unreleased product to senior Apple leadership, a new filing in the lawsuit between OpenAI and Apple alleges.

In the filing in US federal court ​in San Jose, California, OpenAI alleged that the presentation happened months ago and ​that Apple is now making AI products of its own, citing the release of Apple’s HomeView product this week.

“OpenAI is very concerned that its trade ​secret and confidential information is now circulating inside Apple, where Apple engineers can shape ​Apple’s upcoming products based on OpenAI’s confidential and innovative work,” OpenAI said in its filing.

I see OpenAI has added Harvey Richards, the world renowned lawyer for children, to their legal team, to present the “I’m rubber, you’re glue” defense.
