Your Horoscope This Week: Get Ready for Some Intense Connections

Despite a slight hiccup at the beginning, your weekly horoscope (Sept. 30-Oct. 6) says you’ll be feeling inspired to connect, collaborate and socialize with others on a high level this week. But first, on Monday, Venus (planet of love) and Pluto (planet of transformation) linger together for an intense and compulsive quality. Once this has eased, the rest of the week is generally upbeat.

(Which is quite nice to hear, considering October 2019’s horoscope warns us to be more mindful of our thoughts and kinder to ourselves…)

On Wednesday, Pluto turns direct after being retrograde for a number of months, and this could seem like a rebirth. As it is currently moving though the sign of Capricorn, goals and ambitions may be approached with renewed passion and verve. On Thursday, Mercury (planet of communication) enters intense Scorpio and Mars (planet of passion) moves into balanced Libra. This aspect could inspire all kinds of interactions that intensify relationships. Expect more invites to gatherings, more chances to collaborate, and more “togetherness” in partnerships.

The quarter moon in Capricorn on Saturday brings a chance to review progress on a goal and decide whether or not to continue with it. And lastly, Mercury opposes Uranus (planet of change) on Sunday, so be prepared for enlivening encounters and conversations.
