Weekly Horoscope: October 2–8, 2023

Mental Mercury (the thinking planet) in detailed, critical, rule-follower Virgo is the heavy planetary power player early in the week, starting with a strong opposition to Neptune (the cosmic problem-solver) in dreamy Pisces that gives you important balance between left and right brain thinking. Combining your vivid imagination and creativity with a healthy dose of practicality and logic is an unstoppable combo if you can avoid distractions.   

Tuesday brings a driven, earthy trine between focused Mercury and passionate Pluto (the evolutionary planet), setting you up for success on the job. You have your thoughts together and can present your ideas in a clear, articulate way that allows you to demonstrate what an asset you are to a current employer or could be to a potential one.  

Mercury’s last big move of the week happens on Wednesday when it makes the jump from rigid Virgo to airy Libra, giving you more flexibility, charm, and grace. Now that you can stop focusing on all the little things that might go wrong, you’re free to relax and enjoy the beauty around you. Life is good!

Sunday brings that critical Virgo energy back into your life, though, when Venus (the discerning goddess) pairs up with the observant Virgin and has you pointing out everyone’s little flaws. The best advice we can give you now is to worry about yourself. In case you haven’t noticed, people don’t like it when you mention their imperfections. 

Your Zodiac Sign’s Weekly Horoscope

Aries

You can’t help but be preoccupied with all the chores and responsibilities that are on your plate this week, but luckily, Aries, you also get to relax and chill a little later. You do best when you make a strong mind-body connection and work on improving your mental and physical health. If you feel good and strong, you can handle just about anything.

Taurus

You have a strong urge to show what you’re capable of this week, Taurus, but there’s a time and place for that. If everyone else is relaxed and chill at a party, but you’re handing out business cards and trying to promote yourself, you’re not going to accomplish anything. Read the room. It’s more important to fit in this week than it is to try to force a situation into being something that it’s not. Your time will come.

Depending on your early relationship with a father figure or male guardian/mentor, you may have some things to work through. Don’t underestimate the link between what’s going on now and what was going on then. It’s all connected.

Cancer 

Choose your words carefully this week, Cancer. Your mind is racing with brilliant plans, ideas, and concepts, but how you present them makes all the difference. Preplanning is instrumental to your success during Mercury’s fast-moving presence.

If you’d like to make some improvements, however, the universe fully supports you. Don’t underestimate your power in the world. One person can definitely make a difference.
