The new month is off to an eventful start with the skies gifting you a private preview of exactly what this new eclipse season (which will unfold over the next 12 months) mean for you.
For a hint of what you’re going to be working through, pay attention to communication and people issues that come up. This week’s sneak preview is less about the literal situation, and more about highlighting underlying themes. Any tendencies to bite your tongue in order to maintain the peace, people please or be overly compliant will come into focus.
Hot tip: I always recommend you read your rising sign for the most resonant advice. If you don’t know it, you can work it out by casting your chart here. Want to learn more?

ARIES AND ARIES RISING
Hot off the heels of last week’s full moon which shone a can’t-look-away-spotlight on your relationship sphere, the excitement keep coming this week. Exploring what you what and need in a relationship (and what you don’t) will continue to demand your attention. This won’t be a fast process so take the opportunity to start working through what you want and what you don’t now.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
Keep your eyes peeled for familiar territory, problems or even people resurfacing at work this week. As you retrace well-worn patterns, the skies ask you, “Is this baggage worth the energy you’re expending just carrying it around?” Meanwhile a big reframe that’s been playing out around your domestic sphere reaches a conclusion. Look for the final piece of the puzzle to drop in by Sunday night.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
The start of the week is consumed by a haziness that will make communication, especially at home and work, a little more ambiguous than usual. Thankfully no one is designed better to handle vagueness than you. Another upside? Your creativity is coming in HOT, with both Mercury and Neptune inspiring truly visionary ideas. Make sure you’re writing down all those magical ideas before you forget them!
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
Ever feel like you’re listening to (or singing) the same song over and over again with your family, figuratively speaking? The replay button gets a workout this week as familiar relationship dynamics with family going on high rotation. Tedious as it is, try to look beyond the surface ‘ouch’ and investigate the larger ‘why’ of what’s going on. Putting some radical boundaries in place might be met with discord, but ultimately will help protect you.
LEO AND LEO RISING
It’s been four months in the making, but this week marks the grand finale to your major Venus retrograde plotline. Book in a blowdry, take a half day off work and do something outrageously indulgent to celebrate. Clarity around how you feel will bring around a big, personal love story to a place of resolution. Spoiler alert: your next move will be fuelled by a newfound appreciation of what you want and need.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
You will have thoughts (many thoughts!) this week…and most of those thoughts will probably revolve around money. The big cash lessons continue as Mars and the South Node shake things up and ask you, “What are you truly afraid of?” Whether it’s commitment, collaboration or relying on another person, there’s some big work to be done here. It’s a lot, but you don’t have to fix it this week. Instead, simply pay attention to what comes up, and reflect on what you might need to work through on your own, to move past it.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
The big a-ha moments continue this week as planetary forces pose one very important question to Libra folks, “What version of yourself are you ready to release?” Look for the very strong indication of what old skin you should be shimmying free of, especially around Tuesday/Wednesday (all time zones) when a mundane encounter triggers deeper questions. If you’ve been feeling the Sunday scaries basically all week long lately, look for a break in the weather on Thursday (all time zones) when your perspective begins to feel a whole lot lighter.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
There’s some major excavation in progress early in the week as rumblings from deep in your subconscious have you feeling uncharacteristically indecisive. Don’t panic – the wobble is momentary. If in doubt, just breathe and check in with your gut – your intuition is almost always 20/20. Tread gently with friends (and kids, if you have them) the first half of the week when a whole lot of confusion or misunderstanding could ruffle feathers.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
Communications look hazy at work AND home until later in the week (Thursday onwards, all time zones), with clarity and sincerity diluted by the haze of Neptune. Cross your Ts, dot your Is and take any overly effusive declarations of commitment (“of COURSE I’ll help you move house/of COURSE I’ll fly in from the UK to be at your wedding”) with a grain of salt. Things should feel decidedly less murky once Mercury changes signs (Oct 5).
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
Your fabulous Cappy stoicism will serve you well this week as the skies set the scene for a very peculiar mood. With a hazy shade of “wtf” settling in on Monday through to Wednesday (all time zones), being extra careful with your email, tech and word in general is a good idea. You’re in the midst of a larger period of rebirth around career, a plotline that will be activated early in the week. If you’re caught off guard, try not to scramble – letting go of dead wood will make way for new growth.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
Are you sure you have the full picture? Before you rush ahead to try and fix something this week, make sure you have all the facts. Confirming what you think you heard, was in fact, what was actually said – preferably in writing – is best practice for this week’s astrology. No matter how diligent you are, speculation and crossed wires are rife – it’s not you, it’s the astro weather. Hard as it is, try to reserve judgement. On the plus side, a big “what do I really want?” quandary that’s had you soul searching since June reaches a resolution.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
How are your emotional CPR skills? You might find yourself putting them into practice this week. Those closest to you could be feeling a little out of sorts, triggering you to swoop in to the rescue (after all, that’s what Pisces do best). The question is, are you putting your own goals on ice in order to help someone else out of a bind? It is possible to be compassionate without sacrificing your own needs. Food for thought…
