New Delhi: Here is a guide to the week ahead for you. This is your forecast for October 21-27.
Aries
This week is ideal for balancing your professional and personal life. It’s the perfect time to take a break, restore your energy, and reconnect with your roots. Reflecting on how your past has shaped your present may evoke fond childhood memories or nostalgia for simpler times. Public-facing tasks might feel draining, and you may lack the drive to do more work. However, this is a good time to reflect on your career goals and assess whether your current path aligns with your values. Job seekers might find new opportunities through family connections or local networks. If you are in a relationship, focus on building deeper bonds by spending quality time together at home. Planning a small get-together at home can also bring joy and strengthen bonds.

Taurus
This week brings a surge of busy energy. Your mind may feel sharper, creativity flows easily, and curiosity drives you toward new information. You’ll feel drawn to learning through books, podcasts, or meaningful conversations. This is the perfect time to try something different and express your ideas clearly. Attend local career fairs or reach out to industry contacts. Employees can shine in meetings and group tasks, with ideas likely to be well-received. For those in relationships, open discussions about hopes and fears can bring you closer. To rekindle the passion, engage in shared activities like museum visits or neighbourhood explorations. Singles may feel drawn to witty, intellectually curious partners, with opportunities for romance arising through friends.

Evaluate your budget, rethink expenses, or consider ways to boost your income. Job seekers may find secure, well-paying jobs during this time. Use your talents to negotiate your worth and explore opportunities in stable industries. If you’re in a committed relationship, this is a good time to plan your future together, especially regarding finances and personal growth. Appreciating your partner’s non-material contributions will deepen trust and strengthen your bond. This is a good time to seek advice from parents on life decisions.

Cancer
This week offers a great chance for cancer patients to showcase their energy and social skills. You may feel more sociable, confident, and motivated than usual. This is the time to start new ventures, make decisions, or follow your instincts toward personal goals. With a clearer understanding of what you want, trust your gut and avoid over-cautiousness. Your confidence will make you stand out, so highlight your skills and experience without hesitation. Reaching out to people in your field or applying for positions that align with your talents is highly favourable. Singles might find themselves receiving more attention than usual.

Leo
You may feel less energetic this week, preferring quiet moments and solitude over activity. Your emotional awareness will be heightened, giving you a deeper understanding of other people’s emotions and needs. While this can be a gift, it’s important to protect your energy and not absorb others’ emotional burdens. In your current job role, you may be tasked with confidential projects. Trust your instincts to navigate workplace dynamics, but stay cautious of office politics. Use this period to wrap up unfinished tasks and plan for the next phase of your career. Single Leos may feel drawn to spiritual partners. While trusting your instincts is helpful, avoid becoming overly attached too soon.

These settings will benefit from your analytical skills, allowing you to enhance team efforts and bring structure.

Educational settings, travel, or spiritual pursuits are likely places to meet potential partners. Take this opportunity to learn more about family traditions and share your perspectives with loved ones.

Sagittarius
This week is a time to turn inward and explore deeper, hidden aspects of yourself and the world. It’s also a great time for releasing unhealthy patterns or relationships. Embrace the spirit of transformation and shed old ways that no longer serve you, emerging renewed and re-energized. Job seekers should explore roles in research, forensic work, psychology, or financial analysis, which require deep thinking and problem-solving. Your ability to uncover hidden insights will be valued by those already employed. For single Sagittarians, you may meet people who feel intellectually stimulated, sparking both emotional and mental connections. While the excitement of a new romance may be thrilling, take time to build trust before diving in too deep.

Capricorn

This is a good time to address unresolved issues for those in committed relationships. Reflect on whether both partners are equally invested in the relationship. Friends and siblings may lean on you more than usual for advice or support. While it’s good to be there for them, ensure you don’t neglect your needs.
