This Week Astrology: Sept 27–Oct 3, 2026
The week moves from the Aries Full Moon toward Saturday’s Last Quarter Moon. With Venus turning retrograde, reconsider what you want, clarify your priorities and focus on what matters most.
The Aries Full Moon on September 26 brought our recent efforts into sharper focus. This week, as the Moon begins to wane, we have an opportunity to consider what we’ve learned, build on what’s working and make adjustments where needed. Saturday’s Last Quarter Moon encourages us to release what no longer serves our plans and concentrate on what matters most.
Mars enters Leo on Sunday, bringing renewed energy to creative pursuits, personal ambitions and the things we’re passionate about. On Monday, the Sun in Libra trines Uranus in Gemini, encouraging fresh perspectives and new approaches to familiar situations. Mercury enters Scorpio on Wednesday, shifting our attention toward deeper conversations, careful observation and questions worth exploring.
Friday brings a more intense mix of influences as Mercury squares Mars and Pluto, while Mars trines Neptune. Strong opinions or reactions may reveal something important, but we’ll benefit from choosing our words carefully and giving ourselves time to understand what’s really at stake. Imagination and intuition can help us find a constructive way forward.
On Saturday, Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio, beginning a period of reassessment that continues through November 13. With the Sun now in Libra, relationships, reciprocity and personal values are especially relevant. Rather than rushing to settle every question, we can use this week to clarify what we want, reconsider where we invest our energy and make more intentional choices. Your Horoscopes and Tarotscopes offer additional guidance for the weeks ahead, and a Psychic-Astrology Reading can help you understand what’s becoming clearer and decide where to go from here.
On Sunday, the Moon remains in Aries all day, keeping the energy of yesterday’s Full Moon active and encouraging us to follow through on what has become clear. Mars enters Leo, bringing fresh enthusiasm to creative projects, personal ambitions and activities that allow us to express ourselves. Twenty-Seven favors reflection and perspective, so consider what you’ve learned before deciding where to direct this renewed energy. Today’s best use: Channel your enthusiasm into something that genuinely matters to you.
On Monday, the Moon moves from Aries into Taurus at 10:39am ET, shifting our focus from taking initiative to building something lasting. The Sun in Libra trines Uranus in Gemini, encouraging fresh perspectives, productive conversations and unexpected solutions. Twenty-Eight favors leadership and practical results, making this a good day to turn an inventive idea into a workable plan. Today’s best use: Try a new approach to something you’re ready to move forward.
On Tuesday, the Moon stays in Taurus all day, favoring patience, consistency and attention to practical needs. With the Full Moon behind us, we can begin to see which efforts deserve continued investment and which may benefit from a simpler approach. Twenty-Nine encourages sensitivity and cooperation, reminding us that steady progress need not come at the expense of our relationships or well-being. Today’s best use: Strengthen what’s working and make room for what feels sustainable.
On Wednesday, the Moon enters Gemini at 1:25am ET, bringing curiosity, conversation and a willingness to consider different possibilities. Mercury enters Scorpio, encouraging us to look beneath the surface, ask thoughtful questions and pay closer attention to what may have gone unspoken. Thirty favors creativity and communication, helping us put fresh insights into words. Today’s best use: Ask a meaningful question and listen closely to the answer.
On Thursday, the Moon stays in Gemini all day, encouraging us to exchange ideas, gather information and remain open to different points of view. With Mercury now in Scorpio, a casual conversation may lead to a deeper understanding of a situation or reveal a question worth exploring further. One favors initiative and new beginnings, making this a good day to act on an idea that has been taking shape. Today’s best use: Follow your curiosity and take the first step toward a promising possibility.
Come Friday, the Moon remains in Gemini until 3:53pm ET, then enters Cancer, shifting our attention from conversation and information-gathering toward emotional priorities and personal needs. Mercury in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius, potentially intensifying discussions, while Mars trines Neptune in Aries, supporting imagination and a more inspired approach. Two favors cooperation and diplomacy, reminding us to seek understanding rather than insist on having the final word. Today’s best use: Communicate thoughtfully and choose a constructive response over an immediate reaction.
And on Saturday, the Moon remains in Cancer all day, bringing attention to emotional well-being, home and the people closest to us. The Last Quarter Moon encourages us to review recent developments and make useful adjustments, while Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio, beginning a period of reassessment around relationships, desires and personal values. Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, making it especially important to recognize where determination may be turning into a struggle for control. Three favors creative expression and perspective. Today’s best use: Reconsider what matters most and release the need to force an outcome.
Have a fantastic week, everyone!
Working with Venus Retrograde
Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio on October 3 and remains retrograde until November 13, beginning a period of reconsideration around relationships, desires, finances and personal values. With the Sun now in Libra, the emphasis is also on balance and reciprocity. This is a good time to ask whether our relationships and commitments reflect what we genuinely want and value.
Scorpio favors depth, honesty and transformation. Rather than making changes simply because something feels uncomfortable, Venus retrograde invites us to look more closely at what lies beneath our reactions. What still brings satisfaction? Where might our priorities have changed? And what deserves a greater investment of our time, affection or resources?
The Last Quarter Moon also arrives on October 3, encouraging us to review what’s developed since the Aries Full Moon and make useful adjustments. Together, these influences favor thoughtful reassessment over impulsive decisions. We don’t have to abandon something to change our relationship with it. Sometimes a shift in perspective is enough to reveal a better way forward.
If you’d like support clarifying your priorities and understanding what this period may mean for you, here are ways to go deeper:
