Horoscopes Sept. 29 to Oct. 5

In honor of Libra season this week, we must remember and honor the words of a very wise oracle. He is, perhaps, the most important Libra in recent history. Let us all join on the psychic plane in celebration as the mystic Jacob Sartorius turns 22 on Wednesday.

May his prophetic wisdom, as foretold in the song “Sweatshirt,” ring true this week: “This may be the start of something new.”

Yes, my dear stargazers, the seasons are finally shifting, and you can wear your sweatshirt. Like the trees, it is time to turn a new leaf. We are on the better side of a collective journey toward transformation, and this week it is all about planting seeds for the future harvest. It is time to reflect on past lessons, chart our course and prepare to move forward.

Lady Libra maintains her influence on Mercury throughout the week, guiding our thoughts toward rationality and nuanced planning. Because our capacity for diplomacy is heightened this week, it is important to consider other people’s perspectives as we map our future. Venus in Virgo teaches us that grace and service toward others is an act of love.

Mercury will square Jupiter on Tuesday, causing us to feel a bit scattered and anxious. This is a good day for solitary time. Miscommunications are more likely to occur if we do not think before we speak, but quiet reflection may yield long-term breakthroughs.

The moon will play a particularly important role in our subconscious as the heavens prepare for the Oct. 6 harvest moon. The week before a full moon is always a time of heightened — sometimes exhausting — energy that forces us to build momentum. With Pluto, Uranus and Neptune all in retrograde, any momentum we build this week will be useful well into next year. We are at the start of a long Karmic cycle, so pay close attention to your actions and intended outcomes.

The theme this week is manifestation. Carefully reflect on your journey and ask yourself how you got where you are. Where do you want to go? Peel back the layers of your present self, and look beneath the surface to analyze your own psyche because now is the time to make decisions that will have long-term outcomes. Channel your spiritual powers and let the universe guide you through this new cycle. And happy birthday, Jacob Sartorius!

Love, a Gemini chillin’ with a hair tie

Aries (March 21 – April 19):

Your drive and passion will be activated this week as the moon enters Capricorn on Monday. This is a good time to focus on work endeavors, but not a good time for effective communication. The harvest moon next week will be in your sign, so expect your energies to rapidly heighten. On the outside, you may be particularly prone to emotional immaturity and sensitivity. There are deeper issues at play here. You will gain clarity on these issues in the coming weeks, but for now you must harness the lunar energy and focus on material values.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20):

Stay grounded, Taurus. As the weeks go on, you are feeling more equipped to take the next step in life. While planning and reorienting can leave you feeling exhausted, it is not the time to rest yet. With care and attention, you may be able to recognize how some of your past sacrifices are serving you right now. Foster the growth that comes from that and keep your focus on the future.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20):

Your mind might be a little extra scattered this week when your ruling planet, Mercury, squares Jupiter. This is not a good time to talk through your problems. Instead, try meditation. You will benefit from slowing down to think this week. Some painful conversations may come up on Friday, but so long as you can stay levelheaded and grounded in reality, working through issues that arise will benefit you in the long run. Try to explore your empathic abilities this week.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22):

There may be some tension in your priorities this week. Your career may be conflicting with your home life, and conversations on the topic may not yield compromise. Instead of jumping to conclusions and tipping the scales, try to think. The issues you encounter this week cannot immediately be resolved by talking it out. You need time alone to think and process. Over time, work to carry this mentality into your other interpersonal relationships to foster patience as your spirit matures.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22):

You are feeling especially focused on success this week, but your unchecked creativity may be thwarting your ability to stay practical. The path you are laying out for the future is clever and unique, but it may not be realistic. Try to have a birds-eye view of your vision. Is there anything you are forgetting? Are you considering your future physical and mental health? Keep planning, Leo — it is essential. Just make sure you are reasonable.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22):

There has been some level of evolution within your romantic relationships recently, and it is time to take these changes seriously. As easy as it is to neatly compartmentalize your relationships, you must realize that your life is not made up of separate categories. Any nagging issues you recognize in one category of life will eventually seep into all the other categories. It may be difficult for you, Virgo, but you absolutely must prioritize your needs. These next few weeks are critical to your success in the coming months.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22):

The sun continues to shine on you this Libra season, giving you a boost in nearly every life area. Your career, relationships, self-confidence and good karma are all supercharged with positivity. You are able to gracefully spin negative energy into good fortune, and this positivity will only snowball as days pass. Invest your present power into the future, Libra. How do you plan to keep the good vibes going?

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21):

It is time to focus on the small details in your life. Your ability to push forward with strength and tenacity has perhaps left some ends untied. Those small nagging things on your to-do list still need to get done, even if they are easy to put on the back burner. Move those issues to the front of your mind and try to iron out the pesky wrinkles in your life, especially as you make plans for the future.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21):

Your big dreams for the future are at risk of becoming overbearing, Sagittarius. This week, the stars will ask you to rein in your impulses and think carefully. Although your immense mental power is a useful trait, you can get ahead of yourself. Try to make a habit of thinking before you act. Prioritize long-term gain and do not spend money frivolously.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19):

This week will provide you an opportunity to cash in on karma related to your interpersonal relationships. The seeds you planted earlier this year will sprout, but you may need to prune some relationships to make room. Take some time to assess the role you have in your most important groups. Are you doing your part? Is everyone else? The week will begin with the moon in your sign, giving you emotional clarity.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18):

Things have just been working out for you, Aquarius. The universe has showered you with many small blessings, and it is now time to count them. Every gift that has been given to you is a tool that will serve you in your future journey toward growth. You will have more mental clarity than usual this week, so use these moments to ask yourself if you are taking advantage of anything. With so many tools at your disposal, are any untouched?

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20):

This week, it is important for you to focus on your relationships, Pisces. As you continue to feel drained, exhausted and overwhelmed, you must allow those in your inner circle to help you get back on your feet. Do not deny any support; it will strengthen bonds with those who love you. Additionally, the rest you get this week will be vital in the future, so make sure to prioritize sleep.
