Your Weekly Horoscope for September 29 to October 5, 2024

Your close relationships have entered the spotlight in your weekly horoscope for September 29 to October 5, 2024! Some fated developments unfold on Sunday, September 29, when both the sun in Libra and Mercury in Libra meet up with the South Node of Destiny, marking a moment of surrender and release. You could decide to part ways with an old relationship pattern or even a connection that’s run its course. Work contracts and business partnerships that are no longer in alignment with your path may also wrap up. You’re shedding the familiar and trusting that more aligned opportunities and connections are on their way to you.

On the same day on Sunday, Mars in Cancer links up with Saturn in Pisces, lending you the determination to get the job done. You have the stamina and a wise plan in place to make sure you reach your goals with sustained effort—no matter how long it takes. The sun and Mercury, both in Libra, meet at the same point in the sky on September 30, forming a cazimi. This brings sudden realizations, divine inspiration, and clarity. Your intuition knows best, and you may suddenly realize how you want to move forward in a relationship or decide if you want to pursue a contract or opportunity you’ve been offered.

The new moon solar eclipse in Libra on October 2 brings more fate and destiny your way! People you meet may feel extra karmic around this time, and there may be a sense of familiarity in the air, like you’ve met in another lifetime. Some relationships may come to a close while new connections blossom. You’re ready to discuss the important commitments in your life when Venus in Scorpio connects with Saturn in Pisces on October 4. You might be ready to propose, move in with a lover, or recommit to a creative partnership or project. Seeking advice from elders, your ancestors, or the people you respect can also offer you helpful wisdom and insight.

Mars in Cancer enters its pre-retrograde shadow period on the same day. Translation: We’ve officially entered Mars retrograde territory! And although Mars isn’t officially retrograde until December, you’ll start to notice themes and topics that may resurface during the retrograde and bring some challenges for you to tackle. Find a healthy outlet for your anger and don’t hold your feelings in! The week ends on a bit of a dramatic note when Mercury in Libra crashes into Mars in Cancer on October 5. You’re speaking your mind, even if you end up fighting with others. Communication can feel tense and pointed today. Pick your battles wisely and don’t say something you can’t take back. Remember: Words sting and leave a lasting impression.
