As Venus joins Chiron, Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn to make six planets in retrograde, this week’s world is holding its breath for what comes next. Here is your weekly horoscope for 28 September to 4 October 2026.
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 21
An alignment of steady Saturn with your speedy planet leader Mars harmonises this week’s stop-go pace in your favour. This planetary pairing supports refreshing and renewing current relationships, while being open to exploring interesting new connections which you can’t quite categorise yet, but could have legs.

Taurus, Apr 22–May 21
If Venus and Mars in two other stubborn signs like yours are demanding answers you’re not able to give, allow the space and patience of Venus retrograde to buy you time. Strengthen personal security filters and don’t let unsettling revelations drag you back into patterns you’ve outgrown.

Gemini, May 22–Jun 22
Best thing about this week? Social cross-pollinating, especially when the coming weekend’s new moon beckons you to your favourite pastimes of networking and upmarket partying. Just keep in mind that important relationship decisions are best made without first consulting your social network for their opinions.

Cancer, Jun 23–Jul 23
This week’s stars remind you that compromise is part of any healthy connection and recommend being willing to concede the smaller points. Best time for this?

Leo, Jul 24–Aug 23
If a partner or colleague has issues, this week’s planetary energies suggest listening without getting defensive. Because the goal of discussion isn’t winning an argument, it’s finding a better balance between mine and ours, autonomy and collaboration, where you and your relationships can both breathe more freely.

Virgo, Aug 24–Sep 23
There’s a limit to what even you industrious workers can achieve solo, Virgos. So rather than doing everything yourself, why not check out where joining forces might boost your productivity, where teaming up could make life easier and even add the pleasure of working with others to share the load.

Libra, Sep 24–Oct 23
As love planet Venus reverses course, emotional rollercoasters swerve every which way. This week’s sweet spot? The coming weekend’s sun/new moon connection in Libra, your annual date for reaffirming the worldly work you Venusians were born to: nurturing relationships and beautifying life around you.

Scorpio, Oct 24–Nov 22
With Venus reverse-commuting through Scorpio for most of October, issues around trust and loyalty could arise, which help you recognise your own role in repetitive relationship patterns. While Mercury in your sign isn’t at its most talkative, it is astute, discerning, and open to discussion if you are.

Sagittarius, Nov 23–Dec 21
The current abundance of retrograde planets combined with Mercury in the sign of observing rather than commenting suggests it would be in Sagittarians’ best interests to choose your words with care this week. To listen, learn and give others space to respond before unleashing your next thought.

Whether that’s business or financial collaboration, sibling or neighbour dynamics, or closer domestic alliances, don’t shy away from honest exchanges that might clear the air. Lean into the power of human connection.
