The bloom and doom of Eclipse season is gradually fading away, leaving sequins and confetti all over the place. We’re now in the thick of Libra season. Themes of relationships and social justice are likely to still carry some of that Eclipse haze. These issues rank high for Libra, so the pressure is felt on a global scale. As we slowly settle down, remember to show yourself some grace. That’s exactly what this sign of balance and harmony wants for you!

Now for some sweeter news: lovely cosmic support is on the way this week! On Tuesday, October 8, Venus—the planet of love, connection and attraction—will form a sensual trine with Mars, the planet of assertiveness, action and passion. This duo might awaken your desire to engage deeply with loved ones while encouraging you to express your needs and aspirations. It’s about to be a water sign chowder—get into it!

On the same day, Mercury will be pillow-talking with Jupiter, making your dreams tangible while teaching you to claim more space in your life. This sets the stage for this week’s major astrological events: Jupiter stationing retrograde as Pluto comes out of its retrograde. This ongoing review, lasting until February 4, 2025 (for Jupiter), is a call to get specific about your hopes, ideals, and renew your core values. Pluto will finally start wrapping up a transformative story started back in 2008. To be continued…

Here’s how the planets are personally influencing you this week:
