Week of October 2nd Love Forecast

October 3rd to 9th: The Storm Before The Calm

On Monday, October 3, a most intense astrological interaction sends lots of energy to all of us on planet Earth. There is planetary tension in the dark of the early morning of Monday. This tension is between Mars, the planet of action, and Jupiter, the planet of expansion. This sets the week ablaze, making for a wild Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thursday afternoon will be decidedly mellower as Mercury, the plant of communication, gets together with Saturn, the planet of limitations. This heavenly merger calms things down and adds a reminder to be serious about any projects on which you are working.

The weekend retains a lot of this calm, but feelings of love and affection go through a process of getting dreamy and then serious. On Friday, Venus, the planet of love, harmonizes with Neptune, the planet of illusion. This union makes for pure pleasure to kick off the weekend, but when Venus then moves into the zodiac sign of Scorpio late Saturday night, all that romance could take the form of a firmer commitment. Sunday could therefore be the most stable day of the month so far, as you know where you stand with the people in your life who are closest to your heart.

Read for your zodiac sign below to prepare for the week ahead!

Aries March 21 – April 19

The issue of your place in the universe and your destiny cannot be resolved this week no matter how impatient you are for direction on such pressing matters. Your Mars ruler is making things so hectic that when you stop to catch your breath on Thursday, you might not know how you got to where you have landed.
Taurus April 20 – May 20

While the world around you is in a frenzy over matters far out of everyone’s control, your ability to quietly get ahead and get what you want seems to be on track. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that the nice weekend is the climax. You are going to be asked to sign on the dotted line in a serious way quite soon.
Gemini May 21 – June 21

Your long struggle to get ahead is reaching fruition late in the week. Thursday sees you enjoy the taste of victory. Others will note your level of accomplishment as well. If things are not as perfect as you thought they would be, it may be time to let those around you pick up the slack and share the vision.
Cancer June 22 – July 22

Avoidance of a responsibility will be quite simple early in the week, as everyone around you is immersed in his or her own drama and chaos. By the weekend, your lack of effort will be seen as a calm and leading force for people needing to find the way. If you don’t have a plan, at least have a direction in which to point.
Leo July 23 – August 22

The Lion has a chance to gain allies in a fight. Your natural leadership will attract people who have lost their grounding early in the week. If you are in the middle of trying to seduce a love interest, play it cool until Thursday and then strike quickly as the weekend gets underway.
Virgo August 23 – September 22

Thursday sees you finally get that financial reward you so deserved. If you have been pursuing a love relationship, you will find out once and for all if the things you value are held sacred by this person as well. The weekend will see you two embraced in a passionate exchange, but it is almost time to have the big talk.
Libra September 23 – October 22

The excitement that everyone else is feeling might actually be a letdown for you, as you assumed the world would be glorifying you. Moving into the weekend, you will find that pep talk from a friend or lover works wonders. A conversation you have on Thursday will have lasting impact, so choose your words carefully.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21

When the planet of love moves into your sign late Saturday, the positive attention you receive will be fulfilling to say the least. Getting there amidst the intense chaos and crossed signals of this week will make you appreciate the attention even more. Discovering a new way to flirt is a real eye-opener.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 21

You might recall Monday and Tuesday as epic battles of your wit and optimism in a struggle to do what is right. By Friday, any selfishness on your part will have corroded your credibility, so be clear about your goals amidst the chaotic whirl of activity that starts the week off so well.
Capricorn December 22 – January 19

A calm sense of resolve on Thursday will give you the supreme confidence necessary for a verbal confrontation. You have the facts and cannot make it to the weekend without speaking up. If you are prepared for the worst, you can better enjoy the best. A kindred spirit finds you this weekend.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18

There is no shortage of passion and pursuit in your love life later this week. You might have to juggle two amorous interests in order that they not know about each other. Friday will see a dream of yours fulfilled. Look around and take in the moment; it is a special night out.
Pisces February 19 – March 20

Thursday sees you suddenly articulate about a subject nobody realized you understood so well. Finding someone to impress will be easy, but keeping this type of person committed to your vision will take a little art and poetry on your part. Fortunately, you have all that covered.
