Venus returns home to Libra as the week begins, creating an opportunity for us all to bring greater harmony to a wide range of interactions. Indeed, as she sparkles brightly in a brilliant, illuminating connection with electric Uranus and transformational Pluto, some may experience a fated encounter that is truly mesmerising – and potentially life-changing. This could just as easily be a friendship or business connection as a romantic one.

Balancing how we feel with how we connect will require some care, however, with both a Quarter Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Libra forming a square to Jupiter. These energies can generate a great deal of enthusiasm, but if you are developing collaborations with others or meeting up on a date, try to stay grounded and as level-headed as possible.

Pluto ends a five-month retrograde on Tuesday, so if you’ve found that some long-term hopes or friendships have felt uncertain or undergone major changes, this would come as no surprise. However, clarity can now begin to emerge.

With Mercury starting to align with the passionate energies of Mars in Scorpio, this is a time for direct, no-nonsense discussions where needed. This powerful combination can help us cut through confusion and say things as they are. It’s possible, with this dynamic duo and the Sun’s angle to Saturn, that any issue which has been simmering beneath the surface could finally come out into the open.

Aries 21 March – 20 April

With Venus entering Libra, relationships become more charming. Yet this isn’t about lighthearted romance, as this convivial planet weaves a complex dance of dreams, surprises and potential change with other heavenly bodies.

Collaboration holds the key to lasting breakthroughs.

Pleasure and desire could broaden your horizons profoundly.

This is a chance to embrace your power, as beauty isn’t just skin deep, it’s about authenticity.

Scorpio 24 October – 22 November

Love and beauty take on a quieter, more reflective tone. You may crave solitude, healing or secret pleasures that soothe the soul. Yet Venus in Libra also aspects Neptune, Uranus and Pluto, stirring the waters.

Patrick explained why I was finding it difficult to make the decision that I needed to and also advised of the best time to do so, he explained everything so clearly and in a language that anyone can understand. I now feel confidant about my next steps and will definitely be booking further appointments in the future with Patrick. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
