Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 1

Relationships run the full spectrum from practical and persnickety to reckless and romantic this week. The key player is amorous Venus as she enters pragmatic Virgo on Tuesday to sharpen senses, but then opposes dreamy Neptune the following day to let imagination wash away critical thinking. Exploration is favored but commitments should be delayed until the fog of illusion burns away. Messenger Mercury and somber Saturn dive into intense Scorpio on Friday, taking us to new emotional depths over the next month. Luckily, the flirty Gemini Moon starts our weekend off on a lighter note.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

This dramatic week peaks with the Full Moon illuminating your independent and impulsive sign on Saturday night. Revolutionary Uranus adds a shocking flavor to this lunation which may spur you to act recklessly. This spontaneity might work well if you’re open to experimentation or want to break free of old habits. Restlessness and rebellion, though, can kick up explosive feelings that trigger dramatic changes in a partnership.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Surprises may come out of the blue with Saturday’s explosive Aries Full Moon lighting up your secretive 12th House of Privacy. Complicated feelings that you’ve hidden from others, maybe even from yourself, might suddenly surface. People seem unreliable now as attitudes and plans could change in an instant. Yet putting pressure on anyone is likely to backfire. Instead, allow yourself to accept strange emotional territory as if you were visiting a foreign country. Keep an open mind and be respectful to everyone you meet.

Gemini Horoscope

It’s better to let loose and accept a little weirdness than to force yourself to make sense of emotions and people that don’t fit your usual reality.

If you can relax and enjoy the chaos, you might be surprised with how much fun it is to just go with the flow.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your weekend could be wild with an irrepressible Aries Full Moon shining in your 9th House of Faraway Places on Saturday. You may be restless and ready to run with radical Uranus opposing the radiant Sun.

Just remember this escapade is a test drive rather than a long-term commitment.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Saturday’s fiery Aries Full Moon shocks your 8th House of Intimacy and rattles relationships in surprising ways. This may include a sudden attraction to someone who is far from your usual type.

It may be hard to pace yourself now when you’ve got love on the brain, but a tiny bit of patience will help your cause in the long run.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your approach to love is often mature and tempered by common sense and practicality. However, that kind of rational reasoning may not work well this week. A Venus-Mars square on Thursday steams up relationships with a complex mix of mistrust and desire.

Letting go of the past is the best way to ride this cosmic wave of change into a more exciting future.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The impulsive Aries Full Moon meets up with your revolutionary ruling planet Uranus on Saturday, triggering some unpredictable behavior and inspiring some weird conversations. You’re no stranger to unusual ideas and might find it amusing to hear some new outrageous ones, but it can be unsettling when the cautious folks start talking crazy. If it’s amusing, join the party but if it’s not that funny, just slip away to clear your mind.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon in your psychically sensitive sign gets feelings flowing on Thursday and Friday. It’s natural to be tender when you’re a Fish, yet a manipulative person might undermine your trust in relationships now. Recognizing the difference between sex and love can help you determine how far you’re willing to go to gain the affection of another. Just because you find it easy to sacrifice your interests for someone else’s pleasure doesn’t mean that you should do it. Being true to yourself is the first step to figuring out what to do next.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 16

It would be great to report that everything is coming up roses following last night’s New Moon and many cosmic blessings are manifesting around the world. For example, it is definitely helpful that the Moon approaches Mercury in the early hours — giving a lift for reading, writing and research.  Once the clock strikes 4:27AM PDT and the lunar orb and Mercury conjunct in the last degree of Virgo, the Moon begins a short void cycle that lasts until 5:56AM PDT when the Moon enters Libran territory. For the next two days, the lunar impetus is to help humans improve the quality of primary partnerships while also singling out the arts as an area for achievement across the board.  However, a monkey wrench is tossed into the proceedings as Mars forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link to giant Jupiter (10:25AM PDT). This can be more stressful than it sounds as Jupiter has much to do with societal harmony and being successful while Mars often functions as a trigger for brash acts, volatile behavior and all-around hanky-panky.  Two celestial bodies attempt a rescue mission as Juno returns to upbeat, friendly Sagittarius (10:51AM PDT) after a recent, several-month sojourn in stormy Scorpio. Mercury also breaks new ground by shifting out of Virgo and into Libra (4:23PM PDT) — giving an extra boost for illuminating relationship ties. Then Mercury makes a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Juno (5:15PM PDT) — a bridge-building mechanism between Libra and Sagittarius. All of this can create a new wave of goodwill that can neutralize this morning’s Mars-Jupiter downer.  If you really are looking for excitement and edge-of-your-seat thrills and chills, then tonight’s Sun-Uranus parallel (9:53PM PDT) may be just what the doctor ordered. From a more enlightening perspective, it is terrific to explore metaphysical and astrological teachings to your heart’s content.
