Astrology of the
Week
05 ~ 11 Oct 2026
This week is about second chances. Venus retrograde in Scorpio is stirring up old feelings, old friends, unfinished business and financial matters that require a closer examination and an honest reevaluation. We can expect even more to be exposed regarding the abuse of and crimes toward women; revelations regarding corruption, market manipulations, and shady financial dealings are likely to come forward as well. This week is a gentle reminder that the past isn’t always something to leave behind. Sometimes it holds the key to what comes next. As Venus retrograde and the Libra New Moon work their magic, stay open to second chances with others and with ourselves.
Tuesday, Mercury conjunct Venus Rx could make conversations especially revelatory, and we could become obsessed with a developing news story. But conversations about love and money can be easier to start. Information that surfaces now represents only the first chapter of a longer story — one that will continue to unfold over the next two months.
Wednesday, Mars sextile Uranus opens a side door for anyone willing to try something unplanned.
Saturday, a New Moon in Libra could bring something meaningful back into our life, perhaps for a do-over. New beginnings in relationships are up for grabs, though old hurts and rebellious streaks will want a say too.
Also Saturday, Venus Rx square Mars could find truths that are revealed this week triggering deep anger and potentially dramatic responses
Tuesday
MERCURY CONJUNCT VENUS Rx
A potent moment for conversations about love, trust, intimacy, money, and emotional truth. Honest conversations are possible and secrets may be revealed. This is about heart-to-heart talks where we may find a fresh way to say something we’ve struggled to put into words; these talks can go deeper than usual, so listen closely. We might revisit an old conversation and finally get it right. Or someone from our past could pop up, ready to catch up. Communication can be important, and we may find a new, different way of getting our point across.
What we learn now is only the tip of the iceberg. This is a useful moment to put a concern about closeness, trust, or money into words. This can be an important time for saying what we really mean rather than what sounds safest. We may hear a familiar issue differently, or realise that our own preference has changed. Be direct, and leave room for the answer.
Wednesday
MARS SEXTILE URANUS
Spontaneity, courage, experimentation, and an appetite for doing things differently. This aspect supports creative self-expression and doing something simply for the fun of it. It also could inspire us to take new risks or assert our independence. Changes may show up at work or in our daily plans, but this is good news. Get a head start. There can be changes to work on, so have the courage to take the lead; take the initiative and let enthusiasm carry us forward. A different approach may appeal, especially where a familiar method has become frustrating. An unexpected idea could turn into an opportunity. A routine that has become suffocating may suddenly need to change. It may not be easy putting the needs of the many above the needs of the few, but if we remain open to others’ input and serve the common good, then we will see our efforts deliver in ways we never dreamed possible.
Saturday
NEW MOON IN LIBRA
Second chances. Instead of starting from scratch, we’re invited to return to something that still holds meaning. Relationships and mutual expectations are worth a fresh look. We might reconnect with someone from the past, mend or restore a relationship, or recommit to a project or idea we set aside. We may feel ready to create healthier relationship dynamics, negotiate better boundaries, repair an important connection, or stop participating in situations that constantly leave us emotionally depleted. This is also a beautiful moment to reset the way we relate to ourself.
New Moon in Libra opposite Saturn Rx
We could experience frustration and an acute awareness that the wheels of justice turn slowly. The reality of a situation is likely to become even more apparent over the coming days.
New Moon in Libra sextile Jupiter + sesquiquadrate Uranus
Unsettling news or unexpected developments are possible. Look for the silver lining.
Saturday
VENUS Rx SQUARE MARS
Tension between desire and action, affection and independence, attraction and frustration. Passion runs high and strong. Feelings may seem too big to hold in and can be expressed dramatically and stubbornly. Pour that energy into a creative project or venture. Relationships can feel particularly charged. Wanting closeness and feeling ready for it may be two different things. We may be especially aware of conflicts between gender-based perspectives, as well as the realities of violence against women. People may move at different speeds. Say what pace works for us, and listen when someone else does the same.
