The Weekly Horoscope

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Sun is opposite Chiron in Aries, so you feel personally affected when someone makes a decision or even simply draws attention to something you yourself had not thought of yet. It is very easy to take something the wrong way now. Not all pointers are demonstrations of power ("knowledge is power"). Sometimes people only want to clarify a situation. You may have taken an all too simple view of some things and not yet understood the more complex perspective of the other person. If so, listening is the first thing you should do. Give yourself time! Let words resonate. Difficult issues from the past may come up again. When they appear, you should think about your role and your motives. Perhaps you can make your point of view clear to others, so that they are also encouraged to think. Two parties must approach each other and shake hands in the end. This "end" is not yet in sight this week.

Relationship / Love:

Neptune and Saturn in Aries always offer you two paths, one very gentle and one quite hard. Harshness will not get you anywhere, but gentleness is more likely to. This includes love for peaceful coexistence. For this to succeed, you must look at situations realistically and honestly. The ego is in the way. Your partner is not your opponent. Have you already internalized that?

Everyday Life / Profession:

On Monday, the Moon (near Pluto) once again intensifies the critical situations that have become very clear by now. Does anyone need any more eye-openers? Here you go: Mercury comes to a standstill and turns retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday, opposite Taurus. The Sun and Venus switch places at the Libra-Scorpio sign boundary, while the tensions with Pluto become exact. Chiron at the end of Aries also gets pulled into this mix and can remind you of sensitive points. This is about (a lack of?) assertiveness. If someone dictates the terms, you realize that you do not agree. Then it would be time to say something... Perhaps you want to say something especially clever and feel inhibited because of that. Perhaps someone else gets there first and astonishes you, so that you can no longer react appropriately. Something is unbearable (Venus-Pluto) and makes you feel that there are ancient issues that have not yet been overcome. Perhaps you had believed that you were already much further along. It feels like a setback.

Relationship / Love:

Your relationship life is intense! Someone is facing you who knows exactly what they have to do or say to throw you off balance. Is this person acting consciously or "only" instinctively? At the same time, the person opposite you has something fascinating about them, so you cannot ignore them. You will try anyway... Keep in mind that your defense mechanisms produce the opposite of the desired result.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Sun moves into Scorpio, and Venus moves into Libra on Sunday. In the process, they meet in Scorpio (in tension with Pluto), exchange experiences, and give each other an assignment. The Sun stands for your actions and main themes. Were you still too cautious and not brave enough, even though you had already been brave? Would you need to proceed more radically? Mercury, which turns retrograde on Friday, also points in this direction. You have set out on a courageous path and must continue along it consistently, even if things become quite uncomfortable. The Moon near Pluto in Aquarius encourages you right at the beginning of the week to go all in. This means that a lot can already move forward during the first two days of the week, and after that it almost continues on its own. When the Moon moves into Pisces on Wednesday, it encourages fatalistic thinking, so people feel inclined to accept things as they come. On Saturday, this attitude initially seems to prove itself right. But then (Moon-Saturn), someone may also have had enough of something and begin to take countermeasures.

Relationship / Love:

The Scorpio sign, with its Pluto energy, remains emphasized and keeps drawing you into dramatic situations. Is there a tendency to exaggerate? That may be true, but you should still listen carefully. Your partner is serious when they can no longer tolerate a situation. Have you yourself exaggerated? Uranus in Gemini with its connections can make you seem nonchalant. Are you aware of that?

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Moon is with Pluto on Monday and continues the path of uncompromisingness. You can now become even more radical because, with the Aquarius Moon, you distance yourself from your own feelings. Whether that is reasonable is not up for debate. At the moment, there are no planets in the element Earth that could insist on reason. In Water, feelings boil over; Fire heats the kettle, and Air makes the Fire blaze. You could now say "wisely" that things are never as bad as they seem. But no one would listen. People find themselves in a scenario they cannot get out of so easily. The kettle stays on the Fire. Mercury in Scorpio (Water) keeps slowing down and turns retrograde on Saturday. It is in tension with Jupiter in Leo and moves into tension with Mars in Leo. Someone does not seem to have fought enough or asserted themselves enough yet. It may also be about personal pride. After all, you do not put up with everything. You have your dignity to defend.

Relationship / Love:

The Venus-Pluto tension brings a problem to a head. Is there a power imbalance in your love life? You need to analyze that. Often you cannot perceive it at all and need impulses from outside to recognize it. Something like that probably has to happen now so you can take a step forward. This is neither romantic nor comfortable. It is very intense and unsettling.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Mars and Jupiter are two planets (currently in Leo) that do you good. You experience yourself as strong, and you have a certain sense of self-satisfaction. Unfortunately, a few other planets do not fully agree with your self-image. These other planets would like to connect you with deeper feelings and difficult issues. Did something go wrong in the past? Are there unsettled scores that you know nothing about? You will find out, if not this week, then in the coming weeks, as Mercury moves retrograde through Scorpio and gradually reveals everything. This is not about disturbing your peace of mind. It is about making it completely genuine. There seem to be a few things that were so difficult that you no longer like to think back on them. Perhaps these issues appear in your nightly dreams, because they want to be processed, not just suppressed. Perhaps people also appear who take on the role of other people who are no longer there. Then you experience feelings you know and that recall times gone by. Mars and Jupiter in Leo help you return to the here and now and to your strength after you have taken a brief journey back in time to old memories.

Relationship / Love:

Retrograde Venus connects you with feelings that you may have lost. Venus aims to bring relationships back into balance. In order to achieve this goal, she first makes it clear to you that there is an imbalance, or that there is something you have not fully understood yet.

Everyday Life / Profession:

You are a good detective, you probably know that. With Mercury standing still in Scorpio, a few topics are now practically forcing themselves to the surface and want closer investigation. These topics involve power relations. If someone has abused their power, it will now become overly clear (Venus-Pluto). You probably feel compassion for those who have suffered because of it and can speak up for them. If you are affected yourself, it is a little more difficult, but even then you now have a good opportunity to make yourself heard. This is about justice; it should prevail. Perhaps topics will be addressed that you did not yet have on your radar. If that is the case, you will learn a great deal more in the near future. On his retrograde path through Scorpio, Mercury will uncover everything there is to uncover. This process will continue until mid-November, when Venus and Mercury will move forward again almost simultaneously and Mercury takes Pluto to task. Pluto is a reservoir of fears. You have to look into this reservoir, and then you can see how the fears gradually disappear. This requires special courage, which Mars and Jupiter in Leo are happy to provide.

Relationship / Love:

What are your feelings? They are probably contradictory and not as constant as you would like them to be. When someone hurts you, you know and feel that you have feelings. In Scorpio, where Venus and Mercury are located, it is about deep, perhaps also unwanted feelings. In Scorpio, no eye remains dry. This sign brings you into deep connection and sometimes lets you look into abysses.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Sun reaches the end of the Libra sign, opposes Chiron, and moves into tension with Pluto. This is an uncomfortable situation in which you are asked to face a pain or a fear. After you felt quite strong, independent, and free last week and took further steps, you should now dare to face the next hurdle (Venus-Pluto). Every step in the right direction is ultimately liberating, but it takes many steps, as indicated by retrograde Venus, as well as Mercury, which turns retrograde on Saturday. Venus and Mercury are working together. They have a common goal that can be described with Venus in Libra: equal relationships, knowing your own worth, and meeting each other as equals. Perhaps it is also a process of growing up (Saturn opposite Libra). You should take personal responsibility. The situation challenges you powerfully, but Mars and Jupiter in the Leo sign want to fight for human dignity and stand helpfully by Libra. You have good friends who give you energy and strengthen your courage!

Relationship / Love:

You are well equipped. Nevertheless, you experience the Venus-Pluto tension (the second of three) as a major challenge. You sense that you must take your happiness into your own hands, and you do it. This is anything but easy, but in the end there is a reward. You know that. Perhaps it helps if you make yourself aware of it once again: you are working on your happiness.

Everyday Life / Profession:

After Venus, Mercury also turns retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday. This is another indication that the focus now is on issues you had already considered settled. If something comes up again, you need to take a closer look at it. Then you have overlooked something that would have been important. With Venus in tension with Pluto, this is about interpersonal connections in which one person wants to make decisions over the other's head. Of course, this is unacceptable. But it was probably accepted because you were afraid of angering the other person too much and because you feared the consequences. This will no longer be possible now. The violation of dignity is so openly on the table that you would have to feel ashamed to accept it. Stationary Mercury can help you clearly name misconduct. If this still does not succeed this week, Mercury will offer more opportunities during its retrograde phase (over the next three weeks), while Jupiter and Mars spur it on. And even if a lot is already being said now, even more details will still come to light in the near future.

Relationship / Love:

The tension between Venus and Pluto becomes exact on Tuesday, which can feel like the second of three acts in a drama. Venus retrograde in Scorpio insists on self-love. The more you manage to love yourself, the fewer problems the relationship causes you. Everything you do not like about yourself (and do not want to see), you see all the more clearly in your partner - or your partner in you.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The emphasized sign of Scorpio may seem incomprehensible to you, because feelings are slumbering there that you do not want to acknowledge. You want your world to be positive and successful, and some feelings only get in the way. So you push them aside to have peace. But now precisely these feelings finally want you to notice and accept them. If you keep suppressing them, they will simply interfere in your affairs and create chaotic conditions. Then you cannot really concentrate, you lose self-confidence, and you work as if in your sleep. Much continues to run well automatically because you have routine, but in some places things start to jam toward the end of the week. Greetings from Mercury, which comes to a standstill and turns retrograde on Saturday, in tension with Jupiter, your great bringer of luck. Without Mercury in Scorpio, you cannot continue on your path to success. You must listen to him. He has something important to tell you. His voice comes from offstage, like a commentator who has an overview of the whole situation. Mercury in Scorpio knows the depths of your soul and accompanies you into these depths so that you gain a better understanding of yourself.

Relationship / Love:

Venus, retrograde in Scorpio, can be a female (?) person who first knocks gently on your door and now does so with increasing persistence. She carries an old story with her and wants you to honor it as part of your own story. Perhaps you had already forgotten the matter or did not consider it so important. After all, you have come so much further by now... Where would you be now without these valuable experiences?

Everyday Life / Profession:

On Tuesday, the tension between Venus and Pluto becomes exact. This may make you stumble over power imbalances in relationships, unless you recognized them long ago and are working to eliminate them. Some people need a little more time to see things clearly and accept them as a learning theme. This is due to idealized images that you like to maintain in order to lead a comfortable life or one that appears successful to the outside world. Venus and Mercury in Scorpio want you to be radically honest with yourself and look at the issues you have repressed. This process has been going on for some time, but with Mercury's shift into retrograde, it receives an additional push on Saturday and will wake up the last dreamers in the near future. You need to arrive in reality. For a Capricorn, that should be the normal state of affairs, but Capricorns can also have precisely this goal. Sometimes the Sun (your zodiac sign) describes a life goal more than a situation that already exists. If you know the constellations in your horoscope, you may already be able to assess where you stand and what tasks you still have.

Relationship / Love:

Venus and Pluto indicate strong intensity. Love is not a side issue, but a very central theme that now demands your attention. You should take a closer look and recognize the (power) structures that play a role here. Great happiness (Jupiter in Leo) needs to be achieved through awareness. It is not a given and does not come as a gift.

Everyday Life / Profession:

What does success mean to you? How would you like the world to see you? The Sun and Venus, which meet in Scorpio on Saturday and are in the process of swapping places (Libra / Scorpio), are asking this now, while they are also in tension with Pluto in Aquarius. Mercury also joins this question, stationary in Scorpio and retrograde from Saturday. The question cannot be superficial. It must touch something deep within you and affect you personally. The theme you bring into the public eye is a very personal one. Your contribution to society is a very personal experience that has to do with your identity. The whole thing is a lengthy process, with one peak after another or one hurdle after another. You can think of a snake that gradually sheds its skin. You have probably created a kind of mask with which you have stepped in front of people. You will take off the mask. Perhaps you will replace it with new masks, but very gradually you will show your true face. Each new mask may be a little closer to reality. You are probably also discovering yourself by recognizing your patterns and masks.

Relationship / Love:

Venus continues to insist on authenticity in the relationship. How do you feel? Where are you drawn? May your partner take part in your deeply personal issues? Is there a secret you have not yet revealed? Through the relationship, you can also come closer to yourself. The relationship challenges you in your authenticity. Is there an issue from the past that has not yet been fully "cleared up"?

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Venus-Pluto tension (exact on Tuesday) indicates another climax in the course of a story that has not yet been fully clarified. This is shown by the retrograde motion of Venus, and also by Mercury turning retrograde on Saturday while it is in tension with Jupiter. This looks like urgently needed conversations, perhaps even a confession. That does not have to happen immediately. You still have a little time to consider exactly what you want to say. Every word will be a milestone, so you must choose it carefully. Perhaps this week, however, you will first realize that something needs to be said. The stationary Mercury is an invitation to pause and become aware. Jupiter gives courage and calls for and promotes openness and trust. This may overwhelm you this week. If so, simply remain silent and think calmly about what has already happened and what should be done next. This is about values such as honesty, loyalty, and commitment. Jupiter also indicates that you should place everything in a larger context. A personal matter has to do with social structures.

Relationship / Love:

Venus in tension with Pluto gets to the point. Now it is completely clear who and what issue this is about. It is not a trivial matter, but something very important and central. You will finally admit this to yourself. What consequences does this interpersonal connection require? Does it throw your life off balance? Would you have to rethink everything and reposition yourself?
