The Weekly Horoscope
Week from 28 Sep to 04 Oct 2026
General Tendencies
Everyday Life / Profession:
Mars has reached the sign of Leo, opposing Pluto in Aquarius. That alone describes a special challenge. Once again, little David is facing the overpowering Goliath, the individual facing a system of power. Mercury (and on Monday also the Moon) is in tension with this, which becomes increasingly concentrated over the course of the week when Mercury moves into Scorpio on Wednesday, and then once more when the tension with Mars becomes exact on Friday. Meanwhile, the Sun (in Libra) moves into opposition to Saturn, which is also a challenge. The Libra Sun finds the harshness of Saturn in Aries unbearable. Someone has to grow up, take on responsibility, and pass a test. In the sign of Libra, you would rather enjoy life and avoid test situations. Venus, ruler of Libra, stations in Scorpio and turns retrograde on Saturday. This does not look like pleasure or harmony. Venus is also moving (like Mercury) into tension with Mars and Pluto. You cannot force anything, but that seems to be exactly what someone believes.Relationship / Love:
Because of her retrograde motion, Venus remains in tension with Pluto and once again comes into tension with Mars. In Scorpio, she wants to know where she stands. She is, so to speak, moving voluntarily into a difficulty. This is due to the radical love of truth of the sign of Scorpio. Lovers can become fixated on something. You have to cope with intense feelings. Jealousy is hard to control.Everyday Life / Profession:
The Full Moon was a turning point that takes you from a perceived weakness into enormous strength. In your case, this is because you can hardly tolerate weakness as a matter of principle. You love throwing yourself boldly into life and daring new things. With Neptune and Saturn in Aries, quite a few things have changed this year. You have experienced weaknesses in yourself and had to learn to acknowledge them. With Mars in Leo, you rise up again and become very courageous. You are pursuing a dream or a vision (Neptune). Perhaps you have an ideal image of yourself and are now firmly determined to make it a reality. There is something radical and uncompromising about this. Will you offend someone when you pursue your own goals? Does someone have a problem with your new strength? Are you going too far for someone? Does someone feel threatened or not noticed enough? Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio because something needs to be clarified in interpersonal matters, and it has to do with power dynamics. Who is the boss? Your boss will also ask this if you have one. If you work independently, this is the best time for you.Relationship / Love:
If you now take the reins again after a feeling of powerlessness, you need to be careful that others do not misunderstand it. Make it clear to the other person that this is mainly about you and that you want to become effective and decisive again. Your partner should not see this as an attack on them. After all, you can also create something beautiful together.Everyday Life / Profession:
Excessive demands are also indicated this week. Of course, that does not have to happen. But you will see that you have quite a lot of respect for some situations (and people). This respect helps you assess the tasks, your strengths, and your abilities realistically. The tasks require courage and determination this week. Venus remains in Scorpio and turns retrograde on Thursday, which keeps her in tension with Pluto (and Mars) for a particularly long time. Venus is also with Mercury, which also moves into Scorpio on Wednesday. The are opposite the sign of Taurus and have an alluring effect. You would like to make contact, but the situation seems dangerous. The Moon finally moves into the sign of Gemini, where Uranus is located, and also tempts you to take the first step or respond to offers you have already received. In doing so, you are very likely braver than usual. Perhaps you also provoke the other person a little. That would not be bad, because Venus and her "cronies" do not like lukewarm stories. Things should get to the point. You want to feel life. Everything else gets classified as boring. The Sun in Libra must also show its true colors.Relationship / Love:
Venus and her planetary connections are interested in contact that gets under your skin. This can lead you into a situation that you do not like very much. You find contact with (not under) the skin very pleasant. That would actually be enough for you. Yet, with Venus in Scorpio, everything has to go deeper, especially since she is also turning retrograde and will then demand even more intensity. It is supposed to hurt a little.Everyday Life / Profession:
If things became a little too boring, drawn-out, or dull for you last week, you will be pleased because situations become dynamic and people passionate. By Thursday at the latest, when the Moon reaches Uranus in Gemini, you push fears and worries aside and throw yourself almost recklessly into an adventure. Perhaps you will set something in motion that immediately overwhelms you. You will no longer be able to get rid of the spirits you called... Then you must take responsibility for your actions. Perhaps you will find a few words of apology, but perhaps every word will make the situation a little more difficult. The only advice anyone can give you is to be very, very careful. Will you prevent the recklessness? After all, it is also connected with a willingness to experiment and a zest for life. You do not intend to let life pass you by and observe everything from a safe corner. The emphasized element Air is an invitation for you to take part in life and contribute your own ideas, which may well be a little unconventional and bold.Relationship / Love:
The constellations now become more intense and are no longer as playful as last week. Venus-Mars-Pluto describes a strong urge to deal with relationship issues. Since Venus turns retrograde and Mercury also moves into Scorpio, the triangular connection with Mars and Pluto remains in place for three weeks. In relationships, this gets down to the heart of the matter. Venus stubbornly wants to know where she stands. She wants to be taken seriously, with all her intense emotional outbursts.Everyday Life / Profession:
Mars has already moved from sensitive Cancer into the powerful sign of Leo and can assert itself better from there against Pluto in Aquarius. Jupiter is also in the sign of Leo, so two strong fighters are standing on one side. The Mars-Pluto confrontation is also intensified by Venus and Mercury, which are moving into a square to it. All together, it feels like a major spectacle that needs an appropriate stage. Even though Venus and Mercury drive the energies forward, in Scorpio they have little interest in the public and prefer to work behind the scenes. Manipulation may also be involved, mainly coming from Venus and Mercury. At the same time, Venus describes the valuable thing for which Mars (with Jupiter) and Pluto are competing. Venus is slowing down more and more and turns retrograde on Saturday. This emphasizes her position in Scorpio and her desire for intransigency and absolute devotion. You support the values of Venus in Scorpio, which will be clearly noticeable over the weekend through the Cancer Moon.Relationship / Love:
Mercury is now approaching Venus (in Scorpio) and helping you talk about your needs. There are a few points that require courage, and perhaps you will not manage them yet this week. Even so, a great deal is already happening. Observe yourself! What feels irritating or even hurtful, and how could you express it without assigning blame to your partner? Stay fair in communication.Everyday Life / Profession:
With Jupiter and Mars in your sign, you can go full throttle, but you need to consider the consequences. The Sun moves into opposition to Saturn. Saturn indicates the limits, but it will also greatly fuel your willpower. With Saturn, you have a goal in mind. That is very different from last week, when Neptune was still in opposition. Uncertainty turns into strong certainty and conviction. Here you also feel Pluto opposite Mars and in tension with Venus and, newly, Mercury. Nothing can remain lukewarm, vague, or mediocre anymore. The planets indicate enormous power and effectiveness. You need to be careful not to "run anyone over," get too close to anyone, or go too far. On the other hand, Venus stationary in Scorpio also indicates that you must now show your true colors. She likes the intensity of this week, even if something comes at her expense. This creates a desire for powerful experiences. Can you do something heroic, something daring? Venus would like that. Then you would feel inner satisfaction. But pay attention to the boundaries of those around you.Relationship / Love:
When Venus comes to a standstill in Scorpio, she wants to emphasize something. This will be about justice. She wants lovers to meet as equals with no imbalance of power. You need to analyze this very carefully, but this week there will hardly be enough time for that because events are moving so quickly. Then you will simply have to review everything again later, starting on the weekend, when the Moon is in Cancer.Everyday Life / Profession:
After the uncertainties of last week, everything now becomes clearer and more concrete. Mars in Leo, opposite Pluto, as well as the Sun opposite Saturn, paint the picture of a courageous act that creates facts. Perhaps someone is fed up with something and shows it openly. Perhaps someone finally knows what the goal is and that it cannot be achieved without their personal involvement. The stationary Venus in Scorpio plus Mercury from Wednesday onward indicate a great willingness to go all in. In Scorpio, it is about truthfulness: Who is telling the truth? What lies behind the cautious, friendly words of last week? Can it also be expressed more clearly? On Wednesday, the Moon moves into the sign of Gemini, where it reaches Uranus on Thursday. Something may burst out of someone then. You no longer can or want to hold back. You have made a decision, or you make it at the moment when something is said that has the effect of a bombshell. It is all very liberating and redeeming. At the same time, it is a serious situation. You feel the consequences of your long hesitation.Relationship / Love:
Now the constellations become so intense that you confront each other with a fait accompli. If someone has not understood something or has suppressed it very well, this person will no longer be able to avoid the truth. Venus, stationary in Scorpio, actually wants to live in harmony. She is prepared to make all kinds of sacrifices to achieve this goal. Relationships are put to the test.Everyday Life / Profession:
Mars has reached the sign of Leo and now indicates very courageous actions. The Libra Sun moves into opposition to Saturn and must make a decision. This week, what you feared or respected so much will happen. It happens with admirable courage. Yet this strength is actually only the result of long hesitation and wavering. On Wednesday, when Mercury reaches Scorpio and the Moon finally reaches the sign of Gemini, where it gets caught in Uranus’s pull, the pressure rises. The first clear words already tumble out of your mouth. From then on, every moment is highly explosive, so events come thick and fast. Venus is stationary in Scorpio and arrives at a point where she wants only authenticity. This week marks a very important beginning (which is also an ending). Retrograde Venus will then help you sort things out and work through them until mid-November. Mercury will also turn retrograde in Scorpio (on October 24) and help you finally speak plainly and bring up things that require the courage you have not had until now.Relationship / Love:
No sooner has the Sun arrived in Libra than you become much more courageous and face the problems in your relationship life. Whom do you need to make understand that things cannot continue "like this"? Who will feel your strength, which they may perhaps have feared? The stationary Venus, which is turning retrograde, indicates that it is time to take your happiness into your own hands.Everyday Life / Profession:
After a week of subtle signals, everything now becomes much more concrete for everyone. Mars in Leo can show courage, especially since he faces Pluto. Venus reaches a turning point in Scorpio and simply will no longer tolerate certain situations. On Wednesday, she gets support from Mercury. Even the Libra Sun can make a decision, because Saturn opposes it. Observe what happens this week: Who makes the decisions? Who pulls the strings? And where do you stand, what are you doing, and what do you dare to say? If you are still silent now, you will make up for everything later. A great deal happens this week that you will not immediately understand in its full dimension. With Mercury, you get a good instrument for observation. With Venus, you have already sensed that you no longer want to tolerate certain conditions. Venus reminds you of your values, which include honesty and solidarity. If someone is not being honest, you will feel it before you know it for sure. In the end, later this month or in November, however, it will be about providing proof.Relationship / Love:
Venus in Scorpio is not satisfied with anything superficial. She indicates that you need strong commitment, loyalty, and will not let anyone walk all over you. How does your partner see it? Are they also afraid that they are not being taken seriously and made a fool of? Try to be the good example your partner can also use as a guide.Everyday Life / Profession:
Mars in Leo takes your good ideas or your vision and carries them out into the world. Pluto (opposite) acts like jet propulsion in the process. You are in an active role, very focused, so you may be paying too little attention to what is happening around you. Your actions could come at the expense of Venus in Scorpio. You would need to check that... Venus comes to a standstill and therefore remains in the energy-charged connection to Mars and Pluto. Is there something you are blocking out in your activities? Or is there someone you are paying too little attention to? Toward the end of the week, Venus will draw attention to this, together with Mercury, which is responsible for speaking and does not mince words in Scorpio. However, Mercury's critical voice may be too quiet, and you may now be living in a rather loud world. Mars-Pluto tends to put (quick) success above everything else, especially since a certain vanity comes into play in Leo and Aquarius. This week is also about social recognition (Sun-Saturn). This can come at the expense of feelings or personal relationships.Relationship / Love:
Venus in Scorpio wants more closeness and intensity. It sees a long leash as more of a danger than something valuable. You could overlook that this week. Then, at the end of the week, you would get your comeuppance. The feelings run deeper than you think and want to admit. You should not treat your partner like a buddy. They deserve more affection and a little romance.Everyday Life / Profession:
With Mars opposite Pluto, someone now has to do something remarkable, even great. The question is whether you like it... Venus is in tension with both of them and indicates a problem. This concerns issues of power and a lack of appreciation. Venus in Scorpio is very sensitive when someone demonstrates their power and shows no consideration for her. Venus does not turn retrograde on Saturday without reason. She moves back into tension with Mars and Pluto, accepting that old wounds may become noticeable again. Perhaps she wants to draw someone's attention to the suffering she has already gone through. Or perhaps she simply wants to know what is going on and what she can still rely on. On Sunday, the Libra Sun is exactly opposite Saturn. This feels like a consequence, a bill coming due, or a reckoning for what someone has done or failed to do. It is a very intense, exhausting week, both in terms of activities and emotionally. You can achieve a great deal. You have enormous energy and perseverance, but also great sensitivity.Relationship / Love:
Venus and Mars are now in tension with each other again, and they are also in tension with Pluto. This makes everything that happens feel especially deep. There is a strong bond. If someone acts as if it does not exist, they hurt the other person, perhaps without noticing it. Some people only realize on Sunday that something is not good. Then the Moon is in Cancer and intensifies the feelings. Some people feel powerless as a result.Everyday Life / Profession:
With Mars opposite Pluto, you have a tool that you can use to achieve your goals. Mars can just as easily appear as an opponent who does not want to follow your rules. Venus also comes into play, and she has a bone to pick with both Mars and Pluto because she feels she is not appreciated enough. All of this challenges you quite a bit and can become overwhelming if you do not look for common ground. What Mars and Pluto have in common is the strong energy that both have in masculine, Yang, signs. This shows itself as the power to take initiative. In this situation, you simply cannot sit still and wait. What Venus and Pluto have in common is the emotional side. Negative expectations come into play here, even if you think this does not apply to you, and that is exactly when it becomes difficult. With Venus and Mars, the common ground is the tendency to act. This comes easily to Mars in Leo, while Venus has to resort to special tricks, which she also does (retrograde motion). Saturn plays a role again because on Sunday the harmony-seeking Libra Sun opposes it and has to withstand its stern gaze or a consequence.Relationship / Love:
Through its station and retrograde motion, Venus in Scorpio will remain in tension with Pluto a little longer. This seems like a strategic exercise. Someone is not willing to put up with certain behaviors and will ultimately make the person concerned look bad. Anyone who believes they can experience love without Venus is mistaken. To integrate Venus, you must learn to understand the element of Water, the world of feelings.Everyday Life / Profession:
Mars in Leo, opposite Pluto, has a strong drive to act. Something must be done now, and it may well be grand and meaningful. This recalls July, when Jupiter was where Mars is now, and your work seemed especially important and valuable. You are reconnecting with that time, and if you notice that something is not quite right, you need to look at Venus in Scorpio. Venus is at odds with Mars and Pluto and does not find everything so wonderful. It points to feelings that you push aside because they do not fit the "beautiful picture" of success. The Libra Sun also receives a dampener from Saturn at the end of the week if it has previously painted the world in overly beautiful colors. Healthy realism is needed, but the element Earth, which could provide it, has no planets and gets overlooked. Saturn will try to compensate for this lack by appearing especially strict or demanding. The question is who would like to step into Saturn's role and make themselves unpopular. Would you have that much courage? At the weekend, the Moon is in Cancer and lets you feel how sensitive you are. You do not want to put your foot in it.Relationship / Love:
Venus and Mars are moving back into a tense aspect, and with tension to Pluto as well. This fits the standstill of Venus in Scorpio: in love, there is no hesitation now. Passion is your driving force and can maneuver you into difficult situations. Then Venus has the intensity she loves, even though she suffers from it at the same time. That is a natural consequence if you absolutely want to feel and experience more.Topics in the Astro Shop
