Welcome back, witch. The cosmos shifts in a positive direction this week as Venus enters her home sign of Libra. This positive planetary ingress is inspiring harmony and balance in love, a focus on material possessions, artistic endeavors, relationship issues, and contractual agreements. When a benefic planet like Venus is in its domicile, we can experience positive results depending on how this transit is activating your chart. Simultaneously, Pluto stations direct in Aquarius as the week begins, marking the end of months of shadow work and inner excavation. Together, they open a new collective portal: we’re being asked to restore balance through truth and rise into our next era with grace and power.
This week’s astrology is sensual and transformative. Venus forms powerful trines with Uranus and Pluto, bringing breakthroughs in love, money, and creative expression. The Sun in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer and opposes Chiron in Aries, pulling us into deep healing around relationships and self-worth. And through it all, the waning Moon moves through Cancer, Leo, and Virgo, helping us release the past and refine our energy before the new lunar cycle. It’s a week of reflection, revelation, and renewal. Equality and balance become a portal to transformation.

Weekly Astrology Forecast
An energy shift unfolds this week as the cosmos invites us into transformation, harmony, and balance. Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and abundance, moves into her home sign of Libra on Monday, Oct. 13. This is restoring grace, harmony, and refinement in relationships, finances, and self-worth. Simultaneously, Pluto, the planet of rebirth and power, stations direct in Aquarius after five months of retrograde motion. This dual activation signals a cosmic turning point, where inner transformation begins to manifest externally, helping us rebuild stronger foundations rooted in truth.
On Sunday, Oct. 12, the Waning Gibbous Cancer Moon brings emotional awareness and a need for comfort. It’s an ideal day to rest, reflect, or tend to matters at home before the week picks up. The energy builds as the Moon moves into its Last Quarter phase on Monday, Oct. 13, in Cancer, encouraging release and emotional closure before a new cycle begins. That same day, Venus enters Libra, marking one of her most harmonious placements of the year. Relationships, beauty, art, and finances take on a graceful tone, and we feel a collective call toward peace and cooperation. However, Venus will immediately oppose Neptune retrograde in Aries, lifting any fog, confusion, or delusions around love and relationships. Be mindful of truth bombs and reveals; not everything is as it seems in this context. Clarity returns by midweek as Venus forms flowing trines to Uranus in Gemini retrograde and Pluto in Aquarius, bringing breakthroughs in love, creativity, and money matters. If something feels stagnant, this energy helps open a new path forward.
Tuesday, Oct. 14, is especially promising. Venus in Libra trine Uranus in Gemini retrograde and Pluto in Aquarius encourages innovation, honest communication, and empowerment in your relationships. Sudden realizations or emotional clarity may arise, especially around how you express love, create art, or manage resources. This is a beautiful day for collaboration, inspiration, and alignment with your truth.
By midweek, on Wednesday, Oct. 15, Mars forms a harmonious trine to the North Node of destiny, pushing us toward action aligned with our higher path. This is an energetic green light from the universe to take initiative, especially on something that feels meant for you. Listen to your instincts. Courage and authenticity will open doors now.
The energy intensifies again by Friday, Oct. 17, as the Sun in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer and opposes Chiron in Aries. This dynamic configuration, called a Cardinal T-Square, highlights growth through healing. You may confront themes of overextension, people-pleasing, or self-sacrifice. The lesson here is to find balance between confidence and humility, between helping others and honoring your own needs. These aspects can bring emotional release, but also the awareness that healing your identity often requires boundaries and compassion in equal measure.
At the same time, Mercury in Scorpio forms a trine to the North Node in Pisces, bringing destined messages, conversations, and realizations. You may receive intuitive insights or a truth you’ve been waiting for. The cosmos is communicating, so pay attention to what’s revealed through dreams, journaling, or meaningful exchanges.
As the weekend unfolds on Saturday, Oct. 18, the Virgo Moon invites quiet reflection and grounding. This is a day to tidy your space, complete unfinished projects, and prepare for next week’s new lunar cycle. This week’s astrology is a powerful blend of breakthroughs, shedding, and much-needed transformation. With Venus and Pluto both shifting direction, we’re closing one energetic chapter and opening another. This is a week that asks us to harmonize our relationships, values, and self-worth with our higher truth.
Oracle Card of the Week
Since the goddess Venus is strong this week, I felt called to tap into the Priestess of Light Oracle by Sandra Anne Taylor and Kimberly Webber. I received this deck a few years ago, and I usually incorporate it when I want to tap into Venusian energy.
This week’s pull calls forth the archetype of sacred action and the masculine. This is the electric current that turns intention and dreams into reality. The Divine Masculine doesn’t compete or control; he creates through clarity, courage, and conscious movement. His power is solar, illuminating, stabilizing, and decisive. When this card appears, it signals that the time for waiting or dreaming has passed. The energy asks you to step forward into your masculinity, initiate, and embody your own authority.
You’ve gathered the wisdom, and now the Universe is saying: Act on it. Whether it’s launching a project, setting a boundary, or pursuing what you truly desire, your aligned action becomes the vessel through which divine will flows. This is not about forcing outcomes. It’s about trusting your ability to direct energy with purpose and precision.
The Divine Masculine reminds you that manifestation is not just attraction. It’s orchestration. When you claim your inner leadership, the cosmos rearranges around your certainty. Use this week to ground your ideas, organize your goals, and move with deliberate grace. Your focused energy is magnetic, your conviction unstoppable.
