General for Week Commencing: Monday 07 October 2024

	Aries	Monday 07 October 2024	Mar 21 - Apr 19
After last week’s eclipsing New Moon in your relationship sector, there is still a lot of focus on your relationships and especially with Mercury, the planet of communication in his last week here before leaving on Monday. Helping to get the most out of these final seven days, Mercury is catching up with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment just as they are starting to get pushback from the planets in Aries. This will put a balance between your own and your relationship needs in the spotlight, but with Mercury and Juno aligned when they not only form a friendly aspect to Jupiter but just as he turns retrograde in your communication sector on Wednesday, with all the support needed to keep the communication lines open. Meanwhile as Venus, the planet of money moves into her last full week in your financial sector she is separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn that peaked over the weekend while moving towards another with Mars that will peak on Tuesday. This is boosting your financial confidence and resolve.

	Taurus	Monday 07 October 2024	Apr 20 - May 20
As Venus, the planet of love moves into her last full week in your relationship sector she is not only surrounded by support but thanks to the Moon, who will leave on Monday, with a chance to ensure you are emotionally engaged from the start. Even the Moon’s clash with Uranus in Taurus before leaving can work to your advantage, with this ordinary monthly clash leaving you with a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you when it counts. This might flush out some issues but with Venus moving into a friendly aspect to Mars in your communication sector that will peak on Tuesday, the timing couldn’t be better. Meanwhile, the week begins with the stars not only aligning on the job front in a way that will make it easier to have your head in the game from the start, this will be closely aligned and connected to Pluto’s retrograde turn in your income sector on Wednesday.

	Gemini	Monday 07 October 2024	May 21 - Jun 21
Thanks to the Moon the new working week is getting off to a positive start across the income, work and career fronts, but it is thanks to Venus that this will not only continue but sets things up for this to continue. While the Moon will leave on Monday, even as an ordinary monthly visit this would be an advantage, ensuring your instincts are sharp and you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start. Even if this wasn’t the Moon’s only visit while Venus is here or the first visit this year where there have been any planets here at all, a friendly aspect to Mars in your income sector and to both planets in your career sector was going to get the new working week off to a good start. However, separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn in your career sector over the weekend and moving towards another with Mars in your income sector that will peak on Tuesday, it comes just as Venus is doing the same. Meanwhile, the Sun and planets on the playful and creative side of life’s fence are working to keep things balanced.

	Cancer	Monday 07 October 2024	Jun 22 - Jul 22
While there might be some mixed messages in the first part of the week, this will be a timely reminder when it comes to your work/life balance while you still have time to tweak things. On the one hand, as Venus moves into her last full week in a playful and creative part of your chart, she is separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn in an adventurous part of your chart that peaked over the weekend, while moving towards another with Mars in Cancer that will peak on Tuesday. This is not only powering up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence but with the support of planets that don’t take no for an answer. Yet at the same time, it is when the Moon leaves a playful and creative part of your chart on Monday that it will return to your work sector, where until leaving on Wednesday it will get the new working week off to a good start. While the Moon is only passing through, with Venus not only returning to your work sector next week but on the same day as a Full Moon in your career sector, this is a taste of things to come.

	Leo	Monday 07 October 2024	Jul 23 - Aug 22
At the same time that Venus is putting the focus on things close to home and Mercury is making this week all about having the communication lines open, the Moon will spend the early part of the week powering up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence and with perfect timing. All these distractions might not sound like the ideal start to the new working week, but this can work to your advantage. Even the professional gods will be asking you to hold back ahead of the Moon’s return to your work sector on Wednesday, something that at any time you will get the most out of if you go into it with an open mind. Even more so with the Moon returning in time to guide you through Pluto’s final days in retrograde motion before turning direct in your work sector over the weekend. This will take the brakes off work and job matters, though with reminders from the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence earlier in the week not to let life become all work and no play.

	Virgo	Monday 07 October 2024	Aug 23 - Sep 22
The Moon will leave your communication sector on Monday, but in time to ensure you have everything needed to move into Venus’ last full week here with confidence and the communication lines open. This is not just the Moon’s only visit while Venus, the planet of love is here but the first monthly visit this year when there have been any planets here that can keep the communication lines open after it leaves. As Venus moves into the last full week of her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice, it is not just that the Moon has made it easier to wear your heart on your sleeve that is giving you an advantage. At the same time that Venus is separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn in your relationship sector over the weekend, she is moving towards another with Mars in your friendship sector that will peak on Tuesday. Meanwhile, there is a lot of energy on both sides of the financial fence this week, including support from those on the income side for Jupiter as he turns retrograde in your career sector on Wednesday.

	Libra	Monday 07 October 2024	Sep 23 - Oct 23
While the Moon will leave your income sector on Monday, this will do more than just allow you to move into the new working week with a better sense of where the money is from the start. This is the Moon’s only visit while Venus, the planet of money is here and this will leave you with a sharp nose for money just as she not only moves into her last full week in your income sector but as she is joining up with planets that can make things happen. Venus is the first planet to return to your income sector this year and while wanting to make her remaining time here as lucrative as possible, she is also carving a path for the planets that will follow over the coming weeks and that includes making connections. As you move into the new week Venus is separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn in your work sector that peaked over the weekend while moving into another with Mars on the career front that will peak on Tuesday. Meanwhile, as the Moon leaves it will not only be to return to your communication sector but on the same day that Mercury, the planet of communication moves into his final seven days in Libra.

	Scorpio	Monday 07 October 2024	Oct 24 - Nov 21
While the Sun is still several weeks away from Scorpio and the start of your birthday month and new solar year, Venus is not only already here but she is making the kind of connections that is giving you a taste of things to come. While the Moon is not only helping to get the new working week off to a good start on the income and job front but in what is a practice run for even bigger developments next week, there is a heavy focus on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence that is going to keep things balanced. When Venus returned to begin the first planetary activity in Scorpio this year it was to find Mars in an adventurous part of your chart and Saturn and Neptune in a playful and creative part, as the Sun will do when it returns. However, it is only now that Venus is connecting directly, making this something you can own. Meanwhile, Jupiter’s retrograde turn in your financial sector on Wednesday will put money matters into review mode while new doors will be opening on the income side of the financial fence next week.

	Sagittarius	Monday 07 October 2024	Nov 22 - Dec 21
The Moon returns to Sagittarius every four weeks and as well as enhancing your sixth sense and a chance to feel more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware, this is always a valuable chance to check in and get your bearings. There has been no planetary activity in Sagittarius since the early weeks of the year, but as the Moon returns on Monday and you start to check in with your internal compass there will be a sense of change in the air. While your birthday month and new solar year doesn’t begin until later next month, Venus’ return next week will be a chance to start opening new doors long before that. Meanwhile, there are two major cosmic shifts this week. The first is Jupiter’s retrograde turn in your relationship sector on Wednesday, something that can open old doors and put more focus on the past. It is three days later that Pluto will turn direct in your income sector on Saturday, taking the brakes off the income side of the financial fence.

	Capricorn	Monday 07 October 2024	Dec 22 - Jan 19
Even without the Moon, the week was going to get off to an empowered start across the communication, friendship and relationship fronts. It is just as you move into the new week that the Moon is wrapping up its only visit to your friendship sector while Venus is here with a friendly aspect to planets in your communication sector and after connecting with Mars in your relationship sector over the weekend. With Venus also separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn in your communication sector and heading into another with Mars in your relationship sector that will peak on Tuesday, the Moon has been helping to make emotional connections as well. This will need to be balanced with the new working week, which not only starts with the stars starting to come together on the career front but in time to support Jupiter as he turns retrograde in your work sector on Wednesday. This is helping to create a link between new career potential and the doors opening to the past on the job front.

	Aquarius	Monday 07 October 2024	Jan 20 - Feb 18
Thanks to the Moon, you will be in a position to take advantage of an already powerful start to the new working week across the income, work and career fronts. Before leaving your career sector on Monday and wrapping up its only visit while Venus is here, the Moon will spend its final hours at a friendly aspect to dreamy Neptune in your income sector, as it does with each monthly visit. After a friendly aspect to Saturn there and to Mars in your work sector over the weekend, the Moon will leave you with your professional instincts sharp and a download of information and insight from across the income, work and career fronts. With Venus separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn over the weekend and drawing closer to another with Mars that will peak on Tuesday, this has been a window into what is already coming together. Meanwhile, planets are coming together on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence in order to keep things balanced.

	Pisces	Monday 07 October 2024	Feb 19 - Mar 20
At the same time that there is a major focus on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence and especially in the first half of the week, the Moon will be working to get the new working week off to a good start on the income and career fronts. For now, apart from fuelling your professional instincts and imagination and forming a friendly aspect to the planets in your income sector as it moves through, the Moon’s monthly visit to your career sector is more a heads up for something much bigger and more enduring that will begin next week. For now, the more dominant is that Venus is not only moving into her last full week in an adventurous part of your chart still separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn that peaked over the weekend, but into another with Mars in a playful and creative part that will peak on Tuesday. It is a little bit of work/life balance as Jupiter turns retrograde in your home and family sector on Wednesday that will bring the right reminder at the right time.
