[00:00:00] Hi, loves. I'm Dahlia Kent, author of The Audacity of Rest, and this is your celestial forecast for the week of Monday, October 19th.

[00:00:10] Y'all, the hunter's moon peaks late Sunday night, technically Monday by the time some of you check the clock. In everybody's nervous system, it belongs to the weekend. It's a Taurus full moon, and a Taurus full moon does exactly one thing. It makes people say what they need out loud, some of it reasonable, some of it delivered at a volume the situation did not require.

[00:00:33] So this is the week that people state their terms, including you, especially you. One rule for every sign, say the need, not the accusation. Those are two different sentences, and only one of them works.

[00:00:48] Let's get into it.

[00:00:50] Aries, you're gonna ask for something this week and get a yes faster than you expected, And then you're gonna sit there wondering why you spent three weeks [00:01:00] building a case for it.

[00:01:01] Aries, you prepare for a fight nobody's planning. Sometimes people just say yes. Ask for the next thing sooner, You do not need three weeks of opening statements

[00:01:13] for a question that may get a yes

[00:01:19] Taurus, Sunday night's full moon is yours. Something you've tolerated because it kept life comfortable is about to feel more expensive than changing it. A job, an arrangement, a person who's mistaken your steadiness for permanent availability.

[00:01:35] You've been calling it the safe option. Look at what it costs, not just money,

[00:01:40] the part of Sunday you lose thinking about Monday. This week, you get to read the bill. Venus is retrograde in the relationship seat of your chart right now. So if you're partnered, something you've been steering around is gonna wanna be said out loud this week. Say it Tuesday, not Sunday night.

[00:01:59] And if [00:02:00] you're not in a relationship, do not reopen a closed file just because Venus made it look warm again. That's not warmth, Taurus. That's retrograde lighting

[00:02:14] Gemini, you're gonna be in the room this week when somebody finally says the thing everybody's been dancing around, and it's gonna get quiet.

[00:02:22] And your instinct is gonna be to fill that quiet because you're good at it and because silence in a room feels like a job nobody's doing. Don't. Let it be quiet, Gemini. The person who spoke needs about eight seconds.

[00:02:36] . Give them the eight seconds

[00:02:38] Cancer. Somebody's gonna tell you what they need this week, and it's gonna come out as a complaint like, "You never," or, "You always," or, "I guess I'll just..."

[00:02:50] And you're gonna respond to the tone instead of the request, which is fair because the tone was terrible. Cancer, listen past it [00:03:00] once. Underneath the delivery, there's usually one small actual thing, and it's usually easier than the argument

[00:03:09] Leo, you're gonna say what you need out loud this week, and somebody's gonna call it dramatic.

[00:03:15] It was not dramatic. It was a sentence with a verb you've gotten so used to being called dramatic that you now add disclaimers to perfectly normal requests.

[00:03:27] Mars and Jupiter are both in your sign. Say it again, same volume, no disclaimer. Let them adjust

[00:03:38] Virgo, you're gonna be wrong about something this week out loud in front of somebody, and it'll be small and nobody's gonna care, and you're gonna apologize four separate times over the following two days. just apologize once. Virgo, everyone else in the world is wrong constantly and just keeps walking. Try that. Be wrong and keep [00:04:00] walking.

[00:04:00] Nobody's keeping the file that you think they're keeping

[00:04:08] Libra, somebody's gonna state their terms to you this week

[00:04:11] Plainly and without much softening, and you're gonna experience it as rudeness. It probably wasn't, Libra. You're fluent in the padded version, and when somebody speaks without the padding, your first read is that something's wrong. Nothing's wrong. They just told you what they want. And Libra, take notice how efficient that was. Notice how much time they saved

[00:04:38] Scorpio, the sun comes into your sign Friday, and By Sunday, something you've been circling for months is gonna look very obvious . Here's what you do with all that clarity. Nothing. Not yet. You're gonna wanna act while everything feels bright and final.

[00:04:56] Write it down instead. If it's true Sunday, it'll be [00:05:00] true Wednesday, and Wednesday you'll be a much better negotiator.

[00:05:04] Sagittarius.

[00:05:05] Somebody's gonna need something from you this week that requires you to be in one place at a specific time. I know, I know. SAG, this is the entire tax on being loved by people. They occasionally want to know where you are. Show up. Be there the whole time. Don't check your phone at the table.

[00:05:26] Then go be free the rest of the week. Nobody's taking anything from you

[00:05:32] Capricorn. Somebody's gonna assume this week that your competence is community property. An old job, an old responsibility, a person who still has your number for exactly one reason.

[00:05:44] You'll feel obligated. You usually do. 'I handled my part,' is a complete answer. Capricorn, it doesn't need a second half. You can care what happens over there, and you can still leave it where it belongs[00:06:00]

[00:06:02] Aquarius, your house is telling you something this week, not spiritually, but something's broken, crowded, leaking, or still in a box from the last move.

[00:06:13] Fix the physical thing before you build a theory around what it represents. Tighten the handle. Clear the chair. Open the box. You don't need to understand your childhood before you call the plumber

[00:06:29] Pisces, You're gonna need something this week, and you're gonna hope somebody notices. They will not notice, not because they don't care, because you have spent years making fine look extremely convincing.

[00:06:42] So say it,. I need help with this. I need you to come with me. . Four words and a subject. That's all it's ever taken, and you've been doing interpretive dance instead.

[00:06:53] And that is your week.

[00:06:55] Somebody's saying the need instead of the accusation. Somebody's letting a room stay [00:07:00] quiet for eight seconds, and somebody's calling the plumber instead of their mother. Remember to say the need, not the accusation. That's the whole week. I'm Dolly Kent.

[00:07:10] Follow the show wherever you listen. I'll be back next Monday. Until then, have a great week. Love you guys
