This week’s Mercury, sun and new moon solar eclipse in Libra, the sign of elegance and equality, announces the time to reset the balance between mind and body, work and play, me and we. Here’s your weekly horoscope September 30 – 6 October, 2024.
Libra, Sep 23 – Oct 22
The celestial trinity of sun, Mercury and new moon in Libra on October 3, a potent solar eclipse, offers this year’s most fertile portal for refreshing and rewiring relationships. Your guiding planet Venus in the zodiac’s sexiest sign for the first half of October promises plenty of melting intimate moments.
Scorpio, Oct 23 – Nov 21
Venus in your sensual sign till mid-October addresses one-on-one connections, both private and professional, strengthening the ability to hear each other’s viewpoints and possibly repair a rift. This partnering cycle supports joint ventures: teaming up to pool resources for a mutually beneficial win.
Sagittarius, Nov 22 – Dec 21
Your ruling planet Jupiter heading into a four-month retrograde can cause temporary hitches in plans and projects. Despite inevitable frustrations, make use of this golden opportunity to review your interactions with people and social media, revamp your personal presentation or refine something you’re involved in creating.
Capricorn, Dec 22 – Jan 19
October’s breaking astro-news for Capricorns is Pluto concluding its intensive five-month retrograde through your sign: a period of introspection and soul-searching likely to have unearthed some challenging realities. You now have incredibly strong astral assistance to recalibrate and make positive moves forward.
Aquarius, Jan 20 – Feb 18
October’s energetics in a fellow air sign encourage equality, inclusion and engagement in committed partnerships. This transit makes it easier to see other people’s points of view, find common ground and be more diplomatic – not to mention relaxing and enjoying the aesthetic pleasures of wining, dining and socializing.
Pisces, Feb 18 – Mar 20
Venus in a fellow water sign till mid-October favours intimate partnership connecting, along with reaching out if needed to your inner circle for support. And life coach Saturn continues steering your idealistic sign towards organised and effective methods of manifesting what you truly, deeply, madly want.
Aries, Mar 21 – Apr 19
Healing planet Chiron in your sign joining this month’s gang of planetary retrogrades offers the chance to reflect, inspect and adjust your relationships and life plans. Quite a call, but fortunately you are your own best medicine right now because all the answers you need are already inside you.
Taurus, Apr 20 – May 20
One-on-one relationships are front and centre on the current celestial agenda, with your ruling planet Venus, traditionally considered lucky for love and money, ranging all the way from introspective to extroverted over the coming month. Make the most of this week’s love language which is quality bonding time.
Gemini, May 21 – Jun 20
With your ruling planet Mercury at its most aesthetic, why not surrender to this week’s impulses to beautify your life and environment with a dash of glamour? Since Geminis love retail therapy, it’s a beautiful excuse to go shopping. Best avoided? Taking sides, gossip, playing the blame game.
Cancer, Jun 21 – Jul 22
This week’s new moon eclipse poses the question: Could your work benefit from a collaborator who complements your skill set? With executive Mercury in the sign of partnering, it’s worth some creative consideration. Don’t be surprised if Mars in your sensitive sign has you more emotionally reactive than usual.
Leo, Jul 23 – Aug 22
This week’s planetary interactions encourage talking about important relationships, especially how to manifest more harmony and less stress by decreasing criticism, and balancing others’ needs with your own. Stay focused on the positive and move beyond either/or thinking, which won’t get you where you need to go.
Virgo, Aug 23 – Sep 22
Been spreading yourself a little thin, or even worse, not enjoying life enough? With Virgo’s ruling planet Mercury in the sign of equilibrium and elegant accord, this week invites you to start making your work-life balance a more recognizable reality – perhaps beginning this week by organizing a social get-together.
