Horoscope: the week that calls for facing the truth

The Sun in Libra turns focus to balance

According to astrologers, the first full week of October opens with a period when many people find themselves reassessing things from the ground up. The Sun currently sits in Libra, a sign traditionally linked to relationships, partnerships, and the search for balance between one's own needs and those of others.

Mercury and retrograde Venus in Scorpio

At the same time, Mercury and a retrograde Venus are positioned in Scorpio. This combination means that, over the course of the week, what truly matters is not how a situation appears from the outside, but what is actually happening within a person's inner world and heart.

Unfinished business from the past resurfaces

The Venus retrograde phase in particular brings renewed attention to past relationships and situations left unresolved. It also puts a spotlight on questions that have so far gone unanswered, along with values that people are still willing to stand up for — or, conversely, have decided to let go of.

The astrological outlook suggests this week could become a moment for many to honestly examine their current life situation and decide what from the past is worth keeping and what should be left behind.
