As we resurface from eclipse season, you may feel a sense of sensory overload this week. Like you’re emerging from a dark cinema in the middle of the day, it could take a second to get your bearings.
The past four weeks have seen a major shakeup, as eclipse season forced you to let go of the wheel and allow things to happen. Now for the clean-up. Libra season calls for time to process what’s unfolded and figure out how to move forward, as things look and feel very different from how they did in August.
If all the changes start to make you feel overwhelmed, keep reminding yourself: different doesn’t equal bad.
Horoscopes for the week of September 29-October 5, 2025
ARIES AND ARIES RISING
As you emerge into the aftermath of a crazy couple of weeks, this week is all about assessing how things have changed and figuring out exactly what it means for you. Granted, you didn’t cop the full force of the excitement, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a bit of fallout to address. There could be some clean-up to do around finances, especially anything involving friends. Tread carefully around Thursday, as the mood may look tense.
Thankfully, with Libra season in full swing, you’ll be feeling a little more diplomatic than usual. Let that Libra energy permeate and get comfortable with the idea that a compromise does not equate to a loss.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
In comparison to recent weeks, you’re in for a comparatively low-key seven days. That’s a very nice change for drama-averse bulls, who tend not to seek out “unprecedented times” if they can help it. Mind your step on Thursday when last week’s power play could be reignited, though. The situation may look different, but the core issue is the same. With your ruling planet Venus also inching towards the south node, you might be feeling low energy, especially as the week wears on.
Listen to your body; if you need to take a break or cancel plans, do it.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
Now the hands have been played and choices are made, the only thing left is to take a deep breath and get on with things. As the dust settles following a highly eventful couple of weeks, it’s time to stop talking about it and put the rubber to the road. Outdated approaches, hang-ups or even relationships have fallen away, especially connected to your home and family life. Honour that ending and try to find some catharsis in letting go.
A major declutter towards the end of the week will be an unexpected joy. Tackle that wardrobe, clear out the pantry and get your bathroom cabinet totally reorganised. Lean in and let go; the best is yet to come.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
You’re like a meerkat popping your head up from the rubble this week. With no shortage of drama lately, mainly around extended family or siblings, you’re wise to step back into the fray with an air of trepidation. Unfortunately, your mama bear energy means you’re the first person on speed dial when someone needs a shoulder to cry on. Do what you can, but reserve the right to hold a loving boundary if it all feels like too much of an energy suck, especially towards the weekend.
You can love someone without being their surrogate parent.
LEO AND LEO RISING
This week, you’re taking care of business and cleaning up the mess from the craziness that was September. Keep a lookout around Thursday when the root cause of last week’s drama could rear its head again. For most of the week, you’re learning to live with your new normal. Your financial priorities may have shifted as you seek more flexible ways to manage your finances. Your first test comes over the weekend when a big vanity purchase tempts you.
No matter how beautiful it looks, or how much of a bargain it seems, don’t lose sight of what the past four weeks have taught you.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
It’s time to exhale. The past month has been a lot with eclipse season rocking you to the core. Your sense of self and your place in the world have been in a state of flux. Don’t underestimate how much you’ve weathered. While the overall outlook this week is much calmer, those familiar themes around being “good enough” are stirred up by a social dynamic, especially with female friends. Be prepared for it, and when it comes knocking (and potentially hurting), remind yourself this is the lesson. Focus on the issues rather than the personalities.
It will blow over, and whatever—or whoever—you’re letting go of will make space for something new.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
Your home season has gotten off to a rocky start, but the good news is things are looking decidedly more Libra (read: balanced) this week. As the smoke clears from an explosive eclipse season, it’s time to get on with the here and now. The main concern is the back half of the week, when a female friend (or frenemy) could stir up some familiar insecurities. It’s the first “test” following the lessons or changes you made in September.
Keep a level head and remember that despite the sting, you’re more than capable of rising above it. Take the high road.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
After the drama of last week, it’s time to relax… or at least exhale. With your grievances aired, all that pent-up frustration has finally been given somewhere to go. But that’s not to say you’ve seen or heard the last of it. Whatever caused the drama could resurface later in the week, especially around Thursday (AEST and GMT).
Over the weekend, a girlfriend might come across as extra needy. It feels like a drain, but you’re nothing if not loyal, so if you have the bandwidth, brace yourself to swoop in and do your best to support.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
With the madness of September behind you this week, you’re granted some reprieve. Your knee-jerk reaction could be to launch into action, but the sky suggests you need to dig a little deeper and ask yourself: “Are you ok?” If all you want to do is have a cup of tea and a lie down, that might be precisely what’s in order.
Towards the end of the week, a former colleague could reach out. As great as the opportunity sounds, reserve your right to sleep on it. It could prove to be more draining than it first appears.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
It’s time to get on with the show! This week, sea goats will welcome a return to regular programming. Your world may look a little different to how it did four weeks ago, but things are starting to calm down. With the ship righting itself, you can get on to doing what you do best, looking more long-term. Libra season highlights your professional sphere, and you’ll have all eyes on what’s next.
Keep a level head around Thursday when a bone of contention from last week could kick off once again. With the issue still raw, it won’t take much for things to escalate. Reserve your right to lean out and let someone else fight this battle.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
Aquarians are granted a moment of reprieve, at least at the start of the week. Your number one priority is to reorient yourself after an intense month of change and evolution, all seasoned with a generous dose of conflict. But don’t get too comfortable. No sooner have you caught your breath than you’re off to the races again.
On Thursday, last week’s drama may re-emerge for another round. There’s no need to go looking for a fight, but if it comes knocking at your door (and it very well could), hold your position and keep a cool head.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
There’s a little more flow and ease to this week for fish after a truly momentous eclipse season. Now that you’re gaining a little more perspective on how things are shaping up for you for the next six months, you can start to make plans for what comes next. With Saturn back in your home sign for one final rendezvous (until February 2026), the sky suggests it won’t necessarily be all downhill, but the payoff at the end will be 100 per cent worth it.
Around Thursday, an old pattern or energy suck (possibly in the form of a female friend or relative) could feel especially draining. If you don’t have the energy to deal with it, you can always screen that call.
