The Weekly Horoscope
Week from 05 to 11 Oct 2026
General Tendencies
Everyday Life / Profession:
Now the Moon reaches Mars in Leo, activating the t-square of Mars-Pluto-Venus/Mercury. The Sun is still opposite Saturn and confirms the difficulty of the situation. Feelings are intense at the beginning of the week (Moon in the element Fire, where Mars and Jupiter are) and you can experience them as work energy. Someone may be gripped by "work mania"... Anyone who has an interesting project will get to work with great joy. However, this may also be about proving something to someone. Anyone who feels underestimated and not taken seriously by someone will go full throttle and show what they can do. Questions of power are in the air, as you could already sense last week. Retrograde Venus allies with Mercury in Scorpio, so you can name the problem and deal with it very consciously. However, this only works if you do not let yourself become too emotionally unsettled or "triggered." Neptune/Saturn and Uranus cushion the tension-filled t-square. This can help soften situations if you manage to see them in a larger context. Intense personal experiences are embedded in social currents. We are all in our bubbles, which protect us to a certain extent. As soon as we leave them, things become uncomfortable.Relationship / Love:
Venus and Mars (the lovers) are in tension with each other, and other constellations greatly intensify this. Couples enter into confrontations more or less consciously because they no longer want to accept certain conditions. As long as you are wrestling with each other in this way and can hurt each other, the relationship is at least still very much alive. The Libra New Moon on Saturday shows where you stand with each other.Everyday Life / Profession:
This week begins with the Moon near Mars in Leo, which could be a good start for you. You quickly regain your strength and feel your strong will. Unfortunately, however, your will clashes with the will of those around you, so you can also get into conflicts very quickly. Venus and Mercury in Scorpio bring old wounds out of storage and put them back on the table. Pay attention to your choice of words. Above all, use "I" statements and let others explain their point of view. Show understanding where possible, and explain clearly if and why you do not understand something. Rationality may fall a little short now, since no planet is in the element Earth. You will need to make some effort there. With a lot of Fire, Air, and Water, you can quickly get upset about something and create drama. The Sun is in Libra and has the task of weighing the different positions and bringing them into balance. This task is extremely challenging this week, but every effort is worthwhile, even if it is exhausting. In your case, temperament could also become a problem. If you use Neptune and Saturn in Aries wisely, you can restrain yourself.Relationship / Love:
The problems now arise mainly with people close to you. The strong closeness and connection make you show what you feel and think very openly and spontaneously. That can easily become too much for your partner, especially if they are less spontaneous and generally think things through more. How well can you listen? Let your partner have their say and listen to what they have to say. Do not be too dismissive on Saturday.Everyday Life / Profession:
What is happening on a personal level at your work? The planets paint a picture of competitive situations charged with emotion. You can hardly manage to distance yourself from someone and view matters purely objectively. The person opposite you cannot manage it either. Are you on the same hierarchical level? Do you perceive the person(s) as equal? What would the relationship be like if you did not work together? Could someone be considered as a friend? Probably yes. There is an emotional connection that retrograde Venus wants to point out. You can try to ignore a connection like this, but it is very persistent and could follow you even into your nightly dreams... The Moon in Leo (Monday, Tuesday) makes it difficult to control emotions. On Wednesday (Moon in Virgo, in tension with Uranus), you may be able to distance yourself a little more. Perhaps you will then test a different way of dealing with things. However, your cold shoulder may then also seem somewhat exaggerated and could unintentionally emphasize your being affected even more. On Friday, the Moon moves into Libra, and on Saturday it becomes a New Moon "with an obstacle" or "with an announced ending" (Saturn).Relationship / Love:
Venus and its planetary connections do not leave you cold. Someone is standing in front of you whom you cannot block out. You share a past with this person, and they are now insisting on it. Have you gotten involved in something that you would prefer to undo? The story feels bothersome. At the same time, Venus always also indicates something and someone attractive.Everyday Life / Profession:
If everything went well last week, you now feel encouraged to go a little further. By doing so, you really are putting harmony at risk. Venus is already retrograde and is revisiting wounds she has already suffered and which you may not have noticed at all in the heat of the moment. Venus receives support from Mercury, who helps put what has happened, and above all the feelings, into words. This marks the beginning of a phase lasting several weeks, in which you need to feel how things affect you and do some clearing up. The problem lies in the sensitivities of the people around you, who have misunderstood something or taken it the wrong way. Uranus in your sign sometimes drives you a little too strongly to bring movement into matters that are peaceful or that you perceive as boring. Not that you want to sow discord. No, it is more a need for greater authenticity and more vitality that drives you. Then you are surprised by the reactions you trigger. Is the problem really only with the others? That is the question here, and not only in your case. You get the feeling that the whole world is currently full of people who still "have a bone to pick."Relationship / Love:
You experience emotional outbursts in everyday life, which you apparently trigger through your actions. Are you acting carelessly? Are you unaware of the social traps that are standing around everywhere? Or do you think they should simply be removed? You seem a little detached, as if other people's feelings could not reach you at all. Is that true? Are you really that unmoved?Everyday Life / Profession:
The Moon has moved into the sign of Leo, where it activates all the planets one after another, especially Mars and Jupiter in Leo, as well as Pluto opposite and Venus/Mercury in Scorpio. The uncompromising attitude that Venus had already hinted at now becomes explicit. Strong characters meet and show what they can do. This can become difficult, especially for sensitive souls, because no consideration is given to them. Sensitive souls are not defenseless, however. They have their own special means (Scorpios have venomous stingers, Cancers have claws). People make tough and far-reaching decisions, also indicated by Saturn opposing the Libra Sun. Someone may be shown their limits, while someone else asserts themselves with great power. As a Cancer, you can find yourself in a very active role. Do you have leadership qualities? If you help shape situations, you will be quite satisfied in the end. You are currently wavering between a strong ability to act (Saturn) and a feeling that you cannot achieve your goals (Neptune). The Libra Sun opposes Saturn, indicating that you must make a great effort. Mars in Leo has the necessary strength! You can trust that.Relationship / Love:
With Mercury in Scorpio under tension, you sometimes say things you later regret. On the other hand, now is also the time to say a few things! Mercury is close to Venus and can express feelings well. Use this opportunity, but consider carefully how you want to say something. The same sentence will have a completely different effect if the tone is friendly and the voice calm.Everyday Life / Profession:
The Moon arrives in Leo and strongly fuels the fire that is already there. You love and need activity now, physically and mentally. If you exercise, you notice how much more you can do now. If you make decisions, you need to be careful that they are not selfish. Mercury in Scorpio reminds you that decisions must be well-coordinated. With your strong drive, you develop an appetite for more. More of what? You will find out quickly. The connection between Mars, Mercury, and Neptune describes a dream that you want to make real, or that you are already working on, and for which you will probably need cooperation. It will not work well completely on your own. On the other hand, cooperation will become difficult because two sides tend to want to set the tone. This looks like a tough struggle, but the struggle is also enjoyable. You love these confrontations more than you would probably admit. Venus, retrograde in Scorpio, wants to feel a great deal and gets exactly what she wants. She indicates that you are dealing with issues of power and violated boundaries.Relationship / Love:
After a somewhat quieter weekend, things get going again in full force on Monday. Does your love life have something to do with the workweek? Or does work tend to get in the way? Do not underestimate your need for activity. You do not have to, you want to achieve something and be truly good. That is also what makes you attractive. You come across as powerful, energetic, young, and dynamic.Everyday Life / Profession:
After people already spoke plainly or made a decision last week, things now continue with a lot of energy (Moon in Leo, joining Mars and then Jupiter). This activates the dynamic t-square with Pluto and Mercury/Venus. Things happen that get under your skin. Who has the active role here? Where do the impulses come from? For you as a Virgo, everything is somewhat unclear. You are probably not in a position of power, but you feel the consequences in everyday life. Mercury and Venus in Scorpio activate your detective-like research spirit. You would like to understand who is pulling the strings, and you ask a few smart questions. But this is only the beginning. Your research spirit will become even more ingenious when Mercury turns retrograde on October 24. At the moment, Venus is retrograde. She is not a researcher, but she knows quite a lot about issues of power. She helps you sense when something is "rotten." It now seems almost obvious that something is not quite aboveboard. The connection between Mars, Pluto, and Neptune suggests secrecy and deception. Venus and Mercury do not feel comfortable with this and activate your warning system.Relationship / Love:
Venus and Mercury indicate that you want to know the truth and are already preparing yourself for quite a few things. If your partner has something to hide, you sense it. On Wednesday/Thursday, the Moon moves through Virgo and lets you perceive everything very clearly. Truly no detail escapes you. That is a good thing. If there are no problems of that kind, all the better. Then the constellations indicate very erotic moments and encourage playfulness.Everyday Life / Profession:
Your issue is a very thick, deeply tangled knot that you will gradually untie. This is indicated by retrograde Venus in Scorpio and Mercury, which also turns retrograde in Scorpio on October 24. The sign of Scorpio makes you look into your own depths. What you had successfully repressed or postponed now returns with an energy that you can manage only with difficulty. On the one hand, it is good if you now speak a few truths. On the other hand, this is also very uncomfortable because you fear other people's reactions. Mercury will not go full speed yet, although it is under a lot of pressure. You choose your words carefully, and that is probably wise. Little by little, however, you will say everything that needs to be said. Venus and Mercury are in tension with Mars and Pluto and meet in an uncomfortable place. At the same time, these planets also let you experience everything very intensely and excitingly. It is certainly not boring. In the end, however, it could feel drawn out because much of it stretches over weeks. You absolutely want to untie the knot, not simply cut it. However, the New Moon on Saturday has the character of a cut.Relationship / Love:
How harsh does your partner seem to you? They can feel like a wall. If you experience it that way, you have to assume that they want to protect themselves. From you? Yes, from you. Libra people are very nice, but they sometimes overdo their niceness and do not notice when they have crossed their own boundaries. Then they / you show no mercy.Everyday Life / Profession:
On Monday, the Moon arrives in Leo and stimulates Mars, which also activates several other planets. On Tuesday, the Moon reaches Jupiter in Leo. What already became quite concrete last week now becomes even clearer, and your courage is reinforced. If you have done something bold, you feel encouraged and will continue to take action. Since Mars and Pluto rule the sign of Scorpio, you are very personally involved. You can also see this in the "personal planets" Mercury and Venus in Scorpio, which are in tension with Mars and Pluto. The constellations could hardly be clearer: your life is taking on a new dynamic. If you see yourself in a victim role, you will overcome it by delivering one success after another and thereby gaining respect and recognition. Venus is retrograde, and Mercury will turn retrograde on October 24. These planets indicate that there are injustices that you perceive strongly and must overcome. You find pleasure in fighting them. However, you must be careful not to injure yourself in the process.Relationship / Love:
Venus in Scorpio is now retrograde and can therefore emphasize your desire for a relationship even more. You need a strong, reliable counterpart who, just like you, is involved body and soul. Sexuality plays a major role and should never be underestimated as a basic need. You are now experiencing something very intense, and you play an essential part in making it something good.Everyday Life / Profession:
With the Moon in Leo, your impact in the external world becomes even stronger than it already was last week. Over the course of the week, the Libra Sun will move farther and farther out of its opposition to Saturn. This indicates that an obstacle will be overcome. You have a tremendous urge to conquer the world, and you do it with strong powers of persuasion. This looks very much like a path to success. You are not the kind of person who looks for a fly in the ointment, but there seems to be one (Venus and Mercury in tension with Mars and Pluto). To find it, you would have to hear the quieter tones that are currently being drowned out by the general commotion and the heat of the moment. However, Venus is retrograde and unwilling to accept being overlooked. Venus in Scorpio loves intensity, but does not want to observe it from a safe distance. She wants to be part of it. Who or what could Venus be in your current situation? If she is not a person, she describes needs that are currently being neglected. If she is a person, she is very likely a female, rather quiet and vulnerable personality.Relationship / Love:
Retrograde Venus in Scorpio indicates that you are overlooking or bypassing something valuable. There may also be misunderstandings because you are interpreting something incorrectly. Mercury in Scorpio ensures that these issues are addressed. But who is listening? It may also be your own inner voice you are now failing to hear. You would need to take more time... Perhaps you are not noticing a warning.Everyday Life / Profession:
The opposition of Mars and Pluto is emphasized on Monday by the Moon in Leo, which also activates other planets. At first, you may overlook and fail to hear that Venus and Mercury do not agree with everything "grand." The grand thing is loud and gets celebrated as a success with a lot of fanfare. As a Capricorn, you may be fundamentally suspicious when someone receives that much attention or even actively demands it. To you, it seems arrogant and possibly dishonest. Venus and Mercury in Scorpio appeal to you more because they push for truthfulness and do not put themselves in the spotlight. However, Venus is retrograde and will certainly try to attract attention. In doing so, she lets you break rules or taboos. This can lead to strange situations that are hard to classify. The planets describe power dynamics in which something is not quite right, not quite correct. You feel your sense of justice making itself known. Follow this feeling! It will lead you to an important clue.Relationship / Love:
Retrograde Venus in Scorpio draws attention to a deficit. Your partner will give a corresponding sign. This is a delicate situation in which it is very easy to put your foot in your mouth. Venus also indicates heightened sensitivity, something Mars and Pluto do not have on their screen. The strong Fire and Air energies leave people no time to approach things carefully enough.Everyday Life / Profession:
Venus and Mercury in Scorpio point to abysses and can draw more attention to them than you would like. If you are wrestling with a strong opponent, you must also withstand attacks of a different kind in which someone targets your private life. The enormous tensions receive additional fuel from the Leo Moon on Monday, while someone plays a trump card (Moon-Jupiter on Tuesday). You can also experience this positively. Then someone shows that they mean well and "provides" a lucky break. Assume that you will reap what you have sown. If you have done someone a favor, you may hope that this person will now return it. Retrograde Venus indicates situations that draw on something that has already happened. Venus is interested in justice and balance. If there is an imbalance, Venus will point it out with Mercury's help in order to set it right again. You can tell that this will not be done overnight from the fact that Mercury will soon also turn retrograde in Scorpio. Something is wrong there. It is not as simple as you would like it to be.Relationship / Love:
Your love life is characterized by unconventionality time and again. As soon as something moves too much into orderly and "normal" channels, it becomes boring for you. Venus in Scorpio can have a problem if love is not committed enough or if there is a lack of physical closeness. With her retrograde motion, she insists on more truthfulness, more commitment, more closeness.Everyday Life / Profession:
Now the Moon enters the sign of Leo and strengthens courage, confidence and the power to act (Mars and Jupiter). But it also intensifies the connections of Mars and can increase the radical nature of actions. This creates considerable pressure to succeed. Venus and Mercury in Scorpio also feel this and become stronger in their own different kind of radicality. They are different because they are in the element of Water, which is very familiar to you. That is why you, as a Pisces personality, sympathize with this "different" kind of radicality. The element of Water wants to be connected with people and feels disturbed when someone stands out in particular. This usually happens at the expense of others, and successful people do not notice it. Retrograde Venus sees a deficit here and, with the help of Mercury (seeing, perceiving, speaking, expressing), draws attention to it. Perhaps something feels especially painful this week. Perhaps people with similar experiences come together and form a community that can, and will, have a longer-term impact.Relationship / Love:
Has Venus in Scorpio been seeking adventure too much? Have you allowed yourself to be seduced? Have you gone too far? These questions come at an unfavorable moment because Mars and Jupiter in Leo are bursting with confidence, courage, and optimism at the beginning of the week. Venus can no longer keep up with that. She needs real closeness, not more conquests or reports of success.Topics in the Astro Shop
