Astrology of the Week: Navigating Cosmic Currents

2 months ago

As we move into the first week of October, the cosmic weather is shifting — and with it, so are we. The stars are setting the stage for emotional clarity, bold decisions, and some long-overdue conversations. Let’s break it down.

? Sun in Libra: Seeking Balance, Craving Connection

With the Sun in Libra, the focus continues to be on relationships, harmony, and justice. Libra is ruled by Venus, which means beauty, love, and diplomacy are the name of the game. But don’t be fooled by Libra’s graceful exterior — this air sign is also a sharp strategist. Use this week to think about where your life could use more balance. Are you giving too much and receiving too little? Is it time to renegotiate a boundary?

Libra energy reminds us that peace is not passive — sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is speak your truth.

? New Moon in Libra – October 2

A New Moon in Libra brings a beautiful opportunity to plant seeds in your partnerships — romantic, platonic, or professional. If you’ve been craving a fresh start in love or a do-over in how you show up for others, this New Moon supports that intention.

✨ New Moon Ritual Tip: Write down your relationship goals (even if you’re single!) and light a white or pink candle. Focus on how you want to feel in your connections — not just what they look like on paper.

? Saturn Retrograde Continues in Pisces

Saturn has been retrograde in Pisces since June, and we're nearing the end of this karmic review. This week, Saturn forms a supportive angle to the Moon, nudging us to look at our emotional patterns with maturity and compassion. Think of it as cosmic therapy — what lesson keeps repeating? Where can you take accountability without self-judgment?

Saturn in Pisces is about making the intangible tangible: dreams, intuition, and healing work can now become real, grounded, and structured — but only if you do the work.

? Mercury in Virgo: Clear Thinking, Careful Words

Mercury, the planet of communication, is still moving through Virgo, one of its home signs. This transit gives us mental clarity, focus, and a strong BS detector. If you’ve been struggling to organize your thoughts or communicate clearly, this is a great time to write, edit, plan, or have that difficult-but-necessary talk.

This week favors practical decisions and critical thinking. Be mindful of being overly critical — especially in relationships. Use Mercury’s sharpness to improve, not to nitpick.


? Weekly Tarot Pull: The Lovers (Upright)

This week’s card is The Lovers — a perfect match for Libra season. On the surface, this card represents romantic connections, but at a deeper level, it speaks to alignment, values, and choice. You may be faced with a decision that forces you to choose between what looks good and what truly aligns with your soul. Go deeper.

This card also encourages vulnerability. Let yourself be seen.


? Cosmic Checklist

✅ Set intentions during the New Moon
✅ Reassess your boundaries in relationships
✅ Speak up with clarity and kindness
✅ Don’t ignore the small details
✅ Rest and reset — October is just beginning


Final Thoughts

This week, the cosmos is encouraging us to get real — especially in our relationships. With Libra and Virgo energies at play, we’re being called to bring beauty and logicheart and head, into harmony. Trust the process, lean into the discomfort, and remember: clarity is a form of kindness.

Until next time, keep looking up ✨
