Weekly Horoscope: October 4-10, 2021

Bienvenue to the first full week of October! Break out your most frightening décor and get on top of your costume shopping! ‘Tis (almost) the season of tricks and treats. But fear not; Wednesday gives us the new moon in Libra, sweetening an otherwise spooky time. Though the new moon is mid-week, it offers the perfect opportunity to engage in a little TLC and a bit of manifestation (new moons are the best time to bring in the new).

Additionally, Libra’s ruling planet of love, Venus, slides out of mysterious Scorpio into wandering Sagittarius on Thursday. This transit may fire up your sense of adventure and push you to consider activities (or potential boos) outside of your norm.

Even better, the retrograde planet count drops to a still-stressful five on Sunday as Saturn (planet of limitations) in Aquarius returns to its direct motion. Admittedly, Saturn isn’t the easiest planet, but things are a little more orderly when it’s direct.

However, don’t forget that Mercury is still retrograde in that same sector, so be careful as you negotiate your deals. Speak softly and put away that big stick.

Libra

I don’t think you ever need an additional reason to primp and preen yourself, Libra. But if you were looking for one, the new moon goes into your sign and appearance sector on Wednesday, and this is a lovely time to switch things up appearance-wise.
