Weekly Horoscopes 2nd October 2023

Relationships continue to be in the celestial spotlight this week, with Venus and Mars sparkling brightly with one another, and Mars joined by Mercury in the sign of balance Libra, after ten long weeks in Virgo. Yet Pluto links more tensely to both, so in any involvement where someone expects to exert their will beyond what is fair, this can cause some ructions. For your in-depth Weekly Horoscope Forecast for WC 2nd October each sign, please see below...

Taurus 21 April – 21 May

Life is meant to be an adventure, but this week you could feel bogged down, unless you make a concerted effort to tap into your creative side to find answers to current issues. It may be that you need to hold uncomfortable conversations, and if so, trust that the ideas will flow as you get into your stride. Mind, as Mars angles towards Pluto, the desire for change can be overwhelming.

Gemini 22 May – 21 June

Is your work/life balance as you'd like it to be? This week as Mercury enters your leisure zone, you'll be ready to kick back and enjoy life. And if you're ready to fulfil a key goal of yours, Mars' angle with Pluto may help you focus your energy and resources to make it possible. Keen to connect with someone special? Your witty conversation could make you irresistible, Gemini.

Cancer 22 June – 23 July

If life seems complicated, you may have a yearning to get away from it all and relax. The Mercury/Pluto angle can enhance this desire even more, and you might move from the dreaming to the planning stage. At the same time, don't shy away from saying what needs to be said, as this too will leave you feeling less burdened and more at peace with yourself over the week ahead.

Leo 24 July – 23 August

Spend or invest, Leo? You have a choice this week and could go either way. You may be ready to purchase something because it will help you feel better. Yet if you put your resources into a job or money-making venture you can do well, and it might be a source of income in the future. The weekend could find you embroiled in a conflict, but positive change will follow on.

Virgo 24 August – 23 September

Don't rush into making any major decisions until you're sure they're right for you. With Mercury linking to Neptune and Pluto, you may feel you're being pulled in more than one direction and uncertain which is best. Even so, if you're dealing with a challenge, a powerful aspect will help you cut to the chase and see exactly what you need to do and how to do it.

Libra 24 September – 23 October

Others may think they know what's best for you, and this could be a cause of frustration over coming days. If they're keen to get the upper hand, you'll need to let them know that you're the captain of your ship and master of your destiny. Yet as Mercury swings into your sign midweek, you'll find a tactful way to address any awkward issues Libra, and keep the peace.

Scorpio 24 October – 22 November

Use your powers of discernment to cut through difficulties and avoid being ensnared in a tricky situation. If you sense that something is off, then it probably is. So, trust that and do what you need to do. Mind, as Mercury enters Libra, you'll have the ability to read deeply into a situation and this can assist you too. Need to make a life-changing decision? It could happen this weekend.

Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December

Craving a chance to pursue an opportunity and yet wonder if it's right for you? There may be so many things to think about, including your family, which could make you indecisive. Still, a potent Mercury/Pluto link can put things into perspective. You'll see clearly what works and what doesn't. Plus, you'll be keen to enhance your social scene by moving in other circles, Archer.

Capricorn 22 December – 20 January

Need to make amends, Capricorn? Trying to find the right words might not be easy. And with a nebulous aspect early on, feelings on this matter can fluctuate. Still, as Mercury forges a more intense tie to Pluto in your sign, you'll either go into this fully or back off, there may be no half measures. Ready to make a big splash? Try to get out of your own way if you want to do well.

Aquarius 21 January – 19 February

Getting value for money? A dreamy aspect across your financial axis, can leave you confused about an offer that seems to promise great things but could have a fatal flaw. If in doubt get expert advice, then you'll know where you stand. Keen to branch out and expand your options? Mars's edgy link to Pluto might identify blocks that are stopping you from moving forward.

Pisces 20 February – 20 March

Whatever is happening in your love life, a surreal link can cast a filmy veil over the details, encouraging you to let go and go with the flow. You may be ready to dream and fantasize, but as Mercury aligns with Pluto, you'll quickly come back to earth. And yet with a strong emphasis on your sector of desire, you'll feel deeply about a lot of things. Be careful what you share, Pisces.
