Luckily, the first week of October starts off nice and easy, giving you time to prepare for what comes next. Things start with Mercury entering Libra on October 4, 2023, bringing warm and bubbly energy to your communication. When Mercury is in Libra, it’s an excellent time to slow down and take a much-needed mental break. This transit brings a heightened sense of self-awareness. If you’ve been looking for a time to sit down and have an honest heart-to-heart with yourself, this could be the time to start. Mercury in Libra is also a chance to negotiate and redefine the agreement terms between yourself and others.
Venus will move into Virgo, the sign of its fall, on October 8, 2023. This places Venus in a disadvantaged position for the coming weeks and brings attention to your romantic partnerships and finances. When Venus is in Virgo, it’s easy to let the little things get blown out of proportion. Problems can seem much larger and more high-stakes than they are. However, having Venus in Virgo will also grant you a critical eye that can be advantageous. Take a look at the areas of your life that you feel have been lacking in support. Where can you put in the effort and turn things around for the better? Just be prepared to think on your feet and pivot as the eclipses unfold over the coming weeks.

Aries Weekly Horoscope
This week will have you feeling like you’re on the precipice of a significant change, Aries. So try not to be too disappointed if the week is uneventful. What you’re feeling is the upcoming solar eclipse in Libra on October 14, 2023, that will activate your karmic destiny. This week, however, you’ll have to settle for being ordinary. Mercury entering Libra will sharpen your communication skills and make you feel more flirtatious. Be sure to put extra effort into your work and relationships this week; the results will be well worth the effort.
Taurus Weekly Horoscope
There's no turning back now, Taurus. This month will cement a dramatic shift in how you command respect. Your most magical alignments will happen later in the month, but Venus entering Virgo on October 8, 2023, can be an asset to you if you play your cards right. Although your passions might be in overdrive, try approaching situations subtly this week. Taking extra time will only benefit you under this cosmic alignment. You might feel like you're wasting precious time, but the Universe needs time to allow things to unfold.
Gemini Weekly Horoscope
It's time to emerge from your social slump and get ready to celebrate, Gemini. Your planetary ruler, Mercury, is out of its retrograde remix and has finally finished causing problems. With the planet of communication moving into fellow air sign Libra on October 4, 2023, you're finally ready to mingle again. If there's a group chat you've been ignoring or plans you've been putting off, now's the time to take the initiative. This is an excellent time to get out in your neighborhood and find something new in your own backyard.
Cancer Weekly Horoscope
Don't be surprised if your friends need more from you than usual this week, Cancer. You're known to be the group's emotionally supportive, good listener. And with all the cosmic changes coming in the next few weeks, you will be playing an advisory role to more than one person. Venus entering Virgo on October 8, 2023, might have you feeling frustrated with others' constant reliance on you. You may need to schedule some time for an at-home spa night or use one of your vacation days to catch up on some rest.
Leo Weekly Horoscope
This week could be a colorful one for you, Leo. After four and a half months in your sign, Venus finally moves into Virgo on October 8, 2023, freeing you from her alluring clutches. Venus in Leo was a fun, if not messy, time for you. Now, you'll finally be able to retreat into your dreamscape and process all the growth you've gone through. Mercury in Libra could tug at your heartstrings and creative side this week. If you're struggling to process your feelings or unpack the situation, you might find clarity in an artistic medium. Try crafting or journaling and see what your subconscious might be trying to tell you.
Virgo Weekly Horoscope
This week is the most active for you, Virgo. Not only is your planetary ruler Mercury finally out of retrograde, but Venus will be moving into your sign on October 8, 2023. You've been begging for a fresh start, and now you're getting your chance to write the rules yourself. Feeling overwhelmed by the responsibility is natural, but don't let it get the best of you. You're much more prepared than you give yourself credit for. Try slightly changing your schedule and routines that will positively impact your health and daily life.
Libra Weekly Horoscope
Living in dysfunction can warp your sense of self after too long, Libra. Luckily, this month's eclipses are sending you to embark on a new journey where you can freely and unabashedly express yourself. But before you get started, the stars want you to check your map one last time this week. When Mercury enters your sign on October 4, 2023, you might find your head spinning out of control. It's important to stay focused on your priorities and delegate tasks that are less important to your larger vision.
Scorpio Weekly Horoscope
You're used to experiencing deep changes, Scorpio, but this month will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you–thanks to the eclipses. But you won't have to worry about that until the end of the month. For now, Venus moving into Virgo on October 8, 2023, will have you feeling more closed off than usual. This frustration might find a way to externalize itself if you let your feelings get the best of you. Take this time to recharge, rejuvenate, and replenish your energy so you can blossom into your best self.
Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope
The stars are conspiring against you to make you successful in your career, Sagittarius. And this week will be a pressure test for your patience. Your optimism and ability to get people to work together make you a natural leader–if you can learn to keep your cool. Try to see the humor in the absurd situations you might encounter this week. Mercury moves into Libra on October 4, 2023, asking you to be firm yet fair in how you express your frustrations. And if you have to shit-talk this week, don't put it in writing (texts, email, etc.).
Capricorn Weekly Horoscope
The stars have been telling you for a long time that this conservative approach to chasing your dreams isn't working, Capricorn. Yet, for some reason, you're still stuck in the same mode of thinking. Fortunately, with Mercury entering Libra on October 4, 2023, you'll find the motivation to get out of this slump. One thing you should avoid? Overworking yourself. Your success earns you the right to say no to things not aligned with what you desire. Venus in Virgo is a gentle reminder that you can afford to be pickier with your energy.
Aquarius Weekly Horoscope
The vibes could feel a little sketchy to you this week, Aquarius, and it's not just in your head. Discerning fact from fiction might be difficult once Mercury enters a Libra on October 4, 2023. This is a good time to remind you that many things can be true at once. You might find these transits pushing your buttons and daring you to undo all your progress. Don't get lost in black-and-white thinking; try to see the nuance in all situations. And make sure you've got all the facts before weighing in.
Pisces Weekly Horoscope
This week will have you feeling surprisingly sharp and focused, Pisces. With Venus moving into Virgo on October 8, 2023, you could find a huge payoff when you consistently work at something. Mercury in Libra is helping you be more authoritative in your communication and bringing much-needed harmony and balance back to your life. This week will be a great time for you to brainstorm new ideas and gain a fresh perspective. Take advantage of this opportunity to put in consistent work and keep a positive outlook.
