5th October 2026 Weekly Astrology Forecast For All Signs

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

ARIES

Reclaiming what’s yours

Sparking fresh inspiration

Choosing what feels right

✦ ✦ ✦

Retracing Steps

Aries, Mercury is in its retrograde shadow, so be careful what you say and make sure you mean it. You’re on track right now, thinking about what you love, what you’ve let go of, and what you want to reclaim in your life. As Mercury conjuncts retrograde Venus, you might feel sentimental and think about the past. Some desires may pop up again as a person or a long-held dream you never went for. Now you’re thinking, “You know what? I’m going to start talking about this. I’m putting it out there. I’m getting ready to go, go, go.”

✦ ✦ ✦

Sudden Breakthroughs

With Mars sextile unpredictable Uranus, it may come sooner than you think. One conversation could lead you where you want to go. Someone could say something, and you’re like, “Boom!” Make sure you pounce on it, because Uranus comes in, goes out, goes here, goes there. We never know whether Uranus will come back with the same idea. Most likely, it won’t. Mars is in Leo, thank goodness, so you have the confidence, energy, joy, hunger, and creativity to say, “I am ready.”

✦ ✦ ✦

New Moon

Then, on the 10th, the New Moon is in Libra, your opposite sign. It makes you think about having more balance in your life and finding harmony with the people you love, as well as within yourself. What would bring you peace? What can you let go of to make your life more peaceful, beautiful, and harmonious? With retrograde Venus squaring Mars around that time, your desires may be leading the way. You’re overwhelmed with the need to create and love. You might feel lusty and full of desire for something or someone. This New Moon says, “Right, you’ve got to make a decision. Are you going for what you want? And which choice brings you peace?” If there’s been an injustice in your life, you may find it’s sorted after the New Moon, or your heart feels more comfortable with it.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

You’re ready to reclaim a long-held desire, and one conversation could get things moving. Pounce on the opportunity when it comes. The New Moon asks what would bring you peace, in love and within yourself.

TAURUS

Unlocking deeper love

A sudden spark at home

Making time for yourself

✦ ✦ ✦

Deep Growth

Taurus, you divine creature, there’s a lot going on this week. Mercury is already in its retrograde shadow in your relationship zone, so be mindful of how you communicate. On the 7th, Mercury joins forces with retrograde Venus. Important conversations about relationships are on the table. You want peace and harmony within yourself and with those you love. Venus rules your chart, so when it goes retrograde, you may become sentimental and start thinking about the past and how it shaped you. Look at your love relationships, the things you find beautiful, and what gives you peace in your heart. How has that changed over the years? This gives you a chance for deeper growth, maturity, and spiritual uplift. You’re growing by going backward and realising how far you’ve come. If an old relationship wound still needs attention, you may look back and say, “Oh, I see. That’s where the wound is.” Then you can work on it.

✦ ✦ ✦

Sudden Moves

With Mars sextile Uranus, something spontaneous could urge you into action around home, family, and stability. Uranus brings surprises, shocks and, most importantly, opportunities we have to grab quickly. It can be like chasing a silver fish, because Uranus is a slippery old bugger. Reach into your heart and go for it when it happens.

✦ ✦ ✦

New Moon

The New Moon in Libra is in your health and wellbeing zone. Are you looking after yourself? What patterns do you need to release, and what do you need to embrace to be your best self? There may be lifestyle or habit changes. Perhaps you’ve devoted a lot of your life to someone or something, and you’re ready to focus on what’s healthy for you. Retrograde Venus squares Mars around the New Moon, which is a big deal for you. A power struggle could come up, or you may see where you’ve put up blocks between love, family, and yourself. There’s food for thought about what you can do and what you need to let go of. The New Moon is about releasing and new beginnings so you can find the harmony you need. Many of the answers come from the past.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

Important relationship conversations show you how far you’ve come and where an old wound needs attention. An opportunity around home or family could arrive like a slippery silver fish. The New Moon asks how well you’re taking care of yourself.

GEMINI

Bringing back old passions

Conversations with a twist

Ditching the perfectionism

✦ ✦ ✦

Play With The Past

Gemini, you divine creature, this week starts with your ruler in its retrograde shadow. Some of you have learned to use Mercury retrograde and its shadow because you know how to play with the past, change direction, make decisions, and learn from what happened. That’s what I suggest you do this week. Look at your habits, routines, lifestyle, and what you’re dedicated to. Is there anything from the past you can bring back that will help you transform now? Mercury conjuncts retrograde Venus, and there’s something you loved doing that you may have stopped. It could be something from childhood: roller skating, ice skating, pottery or playing on the beach. Whatever it is, the universe says, “Go and do a bit of that.” It will perk you up, refill your batteries and make you feel good.

✦ ✦ ✦

Surprise Twists

With Mars sextile Uranus in your sign, expect unpredictable conversations. Even something that starts as an argument or a passionate discussion could turn in your favour unexpectedly. You’re good at arguing, by the way. One of the best. It comes from love, but stay open to the discussion, because Uranus could bring a surprise twist to the conversation or passionate experience you’re having.

✦ ✦ ✦

New Moon

Then we have the New Moon in Libra, a fellow air sign. This is great for you because it’s in your zone of joy, creativity, lust, flirtation, love, and children- all the things that make you feel good. New Moons are about letting go. Is there something you need to release that’s stopping you from being happy or creative? Is there a creative project or relationship ready to go to the next level? You’re about to find out. Venus squares Mars, and you might find yourself wrestling with something within you. Do you feel a situation has to be perfect before you go for it? Are you critical of yourself or other people because it isn’t quite right? This New Moon could be the time to let that go. If someone else is always hovering around commitment, you may decide to look elsewhere. Your freedom is coming back, along with your joy, happiness, and what’s important to your soul.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

Bring back something you loved doing, even if it’s roller skating or playing on the beach. An unpredictable conversation could turn in your favour. The New Moon brings your joy and freedom back, so look at where perfectionism has been holding you up.

CANCER

Reviving your passion

A twist of fate

Fresh starts at home

✦ ✦ ✦

Reigniting Passion

Cancer, you divine creature, we have a New Moon this week, which is always super important to you. Before we get to that, Mercury is in its retrograde shadow. Use this time to see what message is coming up. For you, it’s about love, pleasure, flirtation, and joy you expressed in the past but may have stopped expressing. It’s time to revive your passion. There could be a conversation about the past, or with someone from your past, that sparks joy and makes you feel good. As Mercury conjuncts retrograde Venus, this conversation matters. You may need to have it and let go, or it could spark desire and love. Perhaps you’re reigniting a project that excited you. It’s inching closer, so think about it this week. You’re talking about things that are important to your soul.

✦ ✦ ✦

Finding Security

Mars, the planet of action and passion, sextiles Uranus, the planet of the unpredictable. A strange twist of fate could bring a revelation. You’ll find out the truth, whatever it is, and it should make you feel more secure. You’re fighting for your security as we build towards the New Moon.

✦ ✦ ✦

New Moon

This particular Moon is about home and family, subjects close to your heart. What do you need to let go of? What new start do you want? Even when a situation is entirely the other person’s fault on paper, it’s useful to look at our responsibility too. Love yourself through letting go of whatever needs to go. If you’ve been holding on for security’s sake, like the crab you are, it’s time to back yourself. With Venus square Mars, you may have to speak your mind enthusiastically. Fundamentally, what you want and what you’re fighting for is security. That might mean feeling more secure in yourself, where you live or whatever you consider family. That’s what you’re working towards now.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

It’s time to revive your passion. A conversation with someone from the past could spark joy, and a strange twist of fate could help you feel more secure. The New Moon brings a fresh start around home and family. Back yourself.

LEO

Reclaiming your inner fire

Spontaneous plans calling

Clearing the air

✦ ✦ ✦

Reclaiming Power

Leo, you little minx, you’ve got your back this week. Mars is in your sign. People may still have been irritating, but you’ve been able to fight your corner, and your power and strength are available to you. If you haven’t felt that, open your arms to the universe and say, “Fill me up, baby. Let me feel that fire back in my soul.” It’s there for you, and you deserve it. The week kicks off with Mercury in its retrograde shadow. Be aware of that in conversations, particularly around home and family. You might say something offhand and find somebody gets offended. Mercury conjuncts retrograde Venus in your home and family zone. Whatever conversations you have around those areas could be filled with love and possibility. You’re speaking from a place of deep meaning and soul value. You’re talking from your heart.

✦ ✦ ✦

Spontaneous Waves

On the same day, Mars sextiles Uranus. Mars is in your sign, and you’re frisky. You might get an invitation to go out, network, or connect with a group. Do it. If the opportunity arrives in that impulsive Uranus way, surf the wave and let yourself dive in spontaneously.

✦ ✦ ✦

New Moon

The New Moon is in your communication zone. There will be news, and you’ll look at who has value in your life when it comes to communication and whom you may need to let go of. A Leo needs respect. If somebody has been pushing their luck, this New Moon could make you cut off communication. Equally, you could get unexpected news and have interesting conversations. Retrograde Venus squares Mars, so a complicated situation may involve someone you consider family being judgemental, or something happening where you live. You’re thinking, “I’ve got Mars in my sign. I’ve got to fight my corner on this one.” Why not? There are good things coming next week. Make the most of this one and trust that you’re back.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

Your fire is back. Speak from your heart around home and family, and surf the wave of an unexpected invitation. The New Moon brings news and clarifies who respects you and who’s been pushing their luck.

VIRGO

Reclaiming your voice

Opportunities out of the blue

Focusing on what lasts

✦ ✦ ✦

Unspoken Words

Virgo, you divine creature, Mercury, your ruler, is in its retrograde shadow. Some people are quite comfortable with Mercury retrograde and its shadow. As Mercury is your ruler, you can be a bit of a whiz, a bit of a magician at dealing with it. This one is hitting you deeply because it’s in your communication zone. There’s intensity around communicating what you’re thinking, and a conversation could be misunderstood. It’s also a good time to revisit the past and have a conversation you’ve wanted to have. On the 7th, Mercury conjuncts retrograde Venus. Both are in your communication zone. Something you want to say, or wish you’d said, is coming up. You’re reclaiming your voice, so treat that as a positive.

✦ ✦ ✦

Sudden Opportunities

On the same day, Mars sextiles Uranus, the planet of the unpredictable. An opportunity could come out of the blue, perhaps something that uplifts your reputation. Trust your intuition about whether to go for it. Mars is in your intuition and blurred-boundary zone, so tune into what you sense you need to do. You could be leaping into a situation that’s right for you. It’s a one-off, out-of-the-blue Uranus opportunity, so take it seriously.

✦ ✦ ✦

What Truly Matters

Then we have the New Moon in your abundance and security zone. What makes you feel secure today? What abundance is in your life? This is a perfect wishing Moon to invite more in, but it has to come from your core. You can ask for a trip to Hawaii, of course, but in six months or a year, what will still matter to you? What’s important to your soul? What makes you feel safe and secure? Part of that is probably your relationship with yourself and the foundations you’re laying. Venus squares Mars, and you might be arguing with yourself about what you think you want and what you feel your soul needs. Trust your instincts and be honest with yourself about what abundance and security mean to you.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

You’re reclaiming your voice and having a conversation you wish you’d had. An opportunity could arrive out of the blue, so tune into your intuition. The New Moon asks what abundance and security mean to your soul, beyond that trip to Hawaii.

LIBRA

Reclaiming your security

Unplanned adventures await

Manifesting your next chapter

✦ ✦ ✦

Reconnecting With Value

Libra, you divine creature, you have an interesting week ahead. What you want to call in from the universe is coming your way. Mercury is in its retrograde shadow, so communicating what makes you feel secure could be a little sticky. Look back, see where you feel you lost some security, and reclaim it. Mercury conjuncts your retrograde ruler, Venus, in that zone. Something you loved in the past could help you conjure up what you need now and in your future. An important conversation is coming up this week. Prick up your ears and listen for the truth about security within yourself, and for an opportunity to move forward with abundance.

✦ ✦ ✦

Spontaneous Sparks

You want to get out and about. You’re excited, excitable and frisky, ready to get stuck into party mode or networking. Mars sextiles Uranus, the planet of the unpredictable. If someone offers you a trip, a chance to do something different, or a chance to study something new, you may leap in and find it exciting and fulfilling.

✦ ✦ ✦

Your Birthday Moon

Then we have the New Moon in your sign. This is it, your birthday Moon. Think about what you want the next cycle of your life to be. What do you need to let go of to launch yourself into the next phase? Get stuck into a bit of manifesting. Retrograde Venus, your ruler, squares Mars. A power struggle may be brewing within yourself or in a relationship. How much do you want to get out and about? What matters to you about the people you mix with? You may have to go against the grain. A group could think one thing, and you’re saying, “I’m going to say what I believe, because I’m Libra and I demand justice.” Fundamentally, Venus is helping you feel secure. You’ll come through and thrive. Remember to make that wish.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

Something you loved in the past helps you conjure up what you need now. Prick up your ears for an important conversation, and get out among people. It’s your birthday Moon. Make a wish and think about the next chapter of your life.

SCORPIO

Owning your charm

Claiming your core power

Sensing wonder and magic

✦ ✦ ✦

Strutting Your Stuff

Scorpio, what a week. Mercury and Venus are in your sign. Work it, use it, and make the most of it. You have skills, and people want to listen to you. You may be digging up something or someone you loved in the past to show how you’ve changed and strut your stuff. You’re a new human now, with different energy. Your charisma should be on point, and you have magic within you. Remember that this week. Mercury is in its retrograde shadow, but the good vibes are there. You may be struggling a little or clashing with Mars. You want independence. Other people’s rules about reputation and what you’re supposed to do to succeed may get on your nerves. You want to go your own way. Think about yourself, and use those charming skills you’ve got. Turn on the charm, because you’re dazzling at the moment.

✦ ✦ ✦

Knowing Your Power

Mercury conjuncts Venus, making you convincing and alluring. On the same day, the 7th, Mars sextiles Uranus. Uranus is in your power, charisma, and primal zone, an energy very familiar to you. There’s an opportunity, and to take it, you have to know your power. That core soul strength you have within you.

✦ ✦ ✦

Psychic Shifts

The New Moon in Libra is super intuitive for you. You’re sensing things and knowing things. Your psychic ability is turned right up. Look at your boundaries too. Where have you given in to daydreams because they feel safe? If somebody has been keeping the truth from you, it may come out. Fundamentally, this is a magical Moon when you can know things on a deep level. Your lesson is to tune into what’s positive. You’re a survivor who can sense danger, but this New Moon says, “Let’s go through a new phase where you sense wonder, magic, and optimism.” Venus in your sign squares Mars, so you may feel particularly determined to do what you want. I wouldn’t want to get into a tussle with you on this New Moon. Believe in yourself.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

Your charisma is on point, so work it and strut your stuff. A sudden opportunity asks you to know your power. The New Moon turns your psychic ability right up and asks you to sense wonder, magic and optimism.

SAGITTARIUS

Karmic connections

Breaking boring routines

Finding your soul family

✦ ✦ ✦

Past Life Magic

Sagittarius, my wild pony, this week brings magic, intuition, and strange twists and turns. Mercury’s retrograde shadow has begun, and you’re feeling spookily connected to the past. You could bump into someone you feel you’ve had a past life with, or walk around a new place and recognise it because it feels familiar to your soul and spirit. There’s plenty to enjoy in the spooky, magical and spiritual this week. On the 7th, Mercury joins forces with retrograde Venus in this area. You may connect or reconnect with someone you’ve felt you knew on a deeper, weirdly karmic level. There’s a caveat. Sometimes that feeling is connected to codependency, addiction or a pattern from childhood. Take time to understand the connection and whether it’s good for you before reconnecting. Strange meetings and coincidences do seem to be coming your way.

✦ ✦ ✦

Unplanned Adventures

On the same day, Mars sextiles Uranus. You should be having a good time and feeling adventurous as usual. If you’ve been stuck in a boring routine, you’re ready to go out and do something different. With a lover or best friend, you may say, “Right, we’re going to explore and have an adventure.”

✦ ✦ ✦

Shift in the Collective

The New Moon in Libra asks who you’re mixing with and networking with. Who’s important to you? What are your beliefs? You’re opening up to new groups, perhaps finding your soul family or people who feel right to you. New Moons are about letting go. You may realise your time with a group is over. Even if you’ve known them for years, you’re ready to move on. When we move on, we make space for deeper experiences. Venus squares Mars on this New Moon. You may be arguing with your intuition and instincts while wanting to be wild and optimistic. I tend towards being rational, even though I’m intuitive. You’ve got to make that decision and find a balance and peace in your heart before doing anything rash.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

Strange meetings and coincidences make this a spookily connected week. You’re ready to get out of a boring routine and have an adventure. The New Moon asks who feels like your soul family and where it’s time to move on.

CAPRICORN

Reconnecting with your tribe

Stepping into leadership

Reclaiming your ambition

✦ ✦ ✦

Group Connections

Capricorn, you glorious creature, Mercury is already in its retrograde shadow. Be careful what you say online and in groups, because misunderstandings can happen. This matters even more when Mercury goes retrograde. Reaching out to somebody or a group you worked with in the past could be positive. Start sniffing out the signs and symbols, and see what’s coming up for you. Mercury conjuncts retrograde Venus on October 7. Something you loved doing with a group in the past may appeal to you again. It could be a team sport, a craft group or a political rally. Whatever it was, you may decide you need more of it in your life and invite it back in. That looks like a good thing to me.

✦ ✦ ✦

Stepping Into Power

On the same day, Mars sextiles Uranus, the planet of the unpredictable. There could be an opportunity that puts you in a position of power, perhaps becoming a group leader or returning to a role you had in the past. The choice is yours.

✦ ✦ ✦

Redefining Success

Then we have the New Moon in Libra. Success is on your mind this week. Moving towards it means letting go of something, changing something or going down a new path. The New Moon will give you an answer. You may struggle within yourself, or someone else may have an opinion about what you should do. For you, this is about stepping back into your power and reclaiming yourself. Have you lost some self-confidence along the way? It should come back this week. You’re determined.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

Something you loved doing with a group could return to your life, along with a chance to lead. Success is on your mind. The New Moon helps you find a new path and reclaim some self-confidence. You’re determined.

AQUARIUS

Unlocking career potential

Sharing your vision

Expanding your horizons

✦ ✦ ✦

Charming the Past

Aquarius, an exciting New Moon is here for you. First, Mercury is in its retrograde shadow, starting to dip its toe in the water of confusion. There’s something good here too, because Mercury conjuncts retrograde Venus. If there’s a job from your past, a contact or somebody you want to impress, the 7th gives you an opportunity. You’re charming and witty, people are listening, and hopefully they think you’ve got a great reputation.

✦ ✦ ✦

Spontaneous Spark

Mars sextiles Uranus too, so you’re feeling jolly, supported and loved. Hopefully, you have a great relationship with yourself that day, and you’re bounding along, optimistic, cheerful and creative. In a meeting, spontaneous ideas could come to you, and you can share them. Love is in your heart. You want to express your emotions and feelings on the 7th, and I recommend doing it. I think people should express their feelings more.

✦ ✦ ✦

Wild Horizons

The New Moon in Libra is brilliant for you. You want to be adventurous and explore. Look back over the past twelve months. How much adventure and exploration have you had? How optimistic and excitable have you felt? This New Moon gives you a new start in that area. If you tell the people around you, “I want to travel to Kathmandu,” how many support you in your wilder choices? Those are your people, as long as they support you rather than encouraging recklessness. You need people who uplift you now, and you should find them in this next phase. Travel becomes important too. Venus squares Mars around the New Moon. A power struggle could emerge between you in the outside world and you as a lover, friend, and softie. Do you express the same you in every situation? Does somebody have expectations about how much time you spend with them? Any conflict there could come up on this New Moon. New Moons are great for chucking things away and starting again, so that may be what you decide to do.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

You’re charming, witty, and full of spontaneous ideas. Tell people how you feel. The New Moon brings your adventurous side back and asks who supports your wilder choices. Those are your people, and travel could be part of the next phase.

PISCES

Expanding your world

Surprises close to home

Claiming your true power

✦ ✦ ✦

Embracing Adventure

Pisces, my beloved Pisces, my sensitive, magical Pisces. A New Moon wants you to be in your power. Mercury is already in its retrograde shadow, and around the 7th, it joins forces with retrograde Venus. It’s urging you to do what you love, explore, and get excited about traveling, studying, and learning. You’re feeling bold and optimistic as you step into this week.

✦ ✦ ✦

Unplanned Moments

Mars sextiles Uranus, and a little surprise could come your way around home and family. Something arrives out of the blue. With Uranus, we have to be ready to leap on board. You might be asked to spend time with a family member, help them declutter, or do something similar. You could find it enjoyable, energising and more fun than you expect.

✦ ✦ ✦

Releasing the Past

The New Moon in Libra is in your primal zone. What do you need to let go of? What fears, shadows or addictions disempower you and stop you from being the deep, powerful soul you are? Now is the time to release them. When you’re manifesting and journalling, visualise yourself in a year’s time. You’re powerful, charismatic and fearless. What does that look like, and how will you get there? This New Moon will help you. Venus squares Mars, so you may be tussling with yourself. One part of you says, “I want to be free. I want to explore and express myself. I can do this.” Another part picks holes in the plan. If you know somebody with a dominant personality, you may feel overwhelmed or as though they’re trying to control you when you want to be free. The universe wants you to be free too, to be yourself and know how wonderful and special you are.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

You want to be free, explore and do what you love. A surprise around home or family could be more enjoyable than you expect. The New Moon asks you to let go of what disempowers you and picture yourself powerful, charismatic, and fearless.
