Your Horoscope For The First Week Of October Just Dropped—Here's What To Know

As speedy Mars and cautious Saturn merge their superpowers, you’ll have the gift of timing on your side. There’s a fine line between leaping at an opportunity and using the wisdom of discretion. Both planets are in water signs—Mars in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces—signaling that your intuition should also have a loud say in this decision, along with all the facts. Assess the pros and cons, then take a calculated risk. 

Partner power! Wednesday’s new moon in Libra (2:49 PM EDT; 10º04’) is also a potent solar eclipse that will refresh and rewire relationships.

Could some part of your work benefit from a collaborator who complements your skill set? With the moon and mindful Mercury making contact, it can help to write down the qualities and capabilities of the person you’d like to attract. Whether that’s for a serious relationship or a business alliance, being clear will sharpen your judgment.

This is the second in a pair of solar eclipses in Libra—the sequel to the October 14, 2023, annular solar eclipse. Themes from a year ago could echo today.

How serious are you willing to get? As romantic Venus in Scorpio trines mature Saturn in Pisces, love could take a turn away from anything remotely superficial.

That’s not fair! Circumstances feel unjust today, but choose your battles. You could get sucked into fighting for something that’s not worth it. A noble cause, on the other hand, is deserving of your finest efforts.

To prevent scattering your energy, dial down the unhealthy competition. Be careful about getting pulled into rivalries and limit your exposure to people who are all about bickering, backstabbing and throwing others under the bus.
