๐ This Week's Reading
Welcome to the week, Leo. ๐ฆ The Moon spends Monday and Tuesday in your own sign, which is the sky's way of dimming the room lights and pointing a spotlight at you. It is a thin waning crescent (29% lit on Monday, 19% on Tuesday), so the mood is glowing but a little sleepy: a mug you keep carrying from room to room, a half-answered text, a face that looks great in lamp light. Mars is in your sign, and Jupiter is back after a 12-year gap, so your confidence has two backup generators. ๐
Meanwhile, Venus has been moving backward through Scorpio, your home and family zone, since Saturday, October 3. Picture the love planet rewinding the tape on everything cozy: the family dinner that went sideways, the apartment you keep redecorating in your head, the ex who suddenly likes your old photos. Notice the feelings, screenshot nothing, reply to nobody. Nothing in that corner of your life needs a final verdict this week. ๐
Wednesday and Thursday the Moon travels through Virgo, your money zone, shrinking to a sliver (11%, then 5%). These are small-wins days: cancel the subscription you forgot about and check the balance without flinching. Friday the Moon slides into Libra, your communication zone, right where the Sun is spending the month. Suddenly your phone is interesting again. ๐ฑ
Then the headliner arrives: a New Moon in Libra on Saturday, October 10 resets your communication zone. New Moons are the sky's blank page, and this one lands in the area of texts, pitches, ideas, short trips and siblings. Write your intention down in plain words. Start the conversation you keep rehearsing in the shower, and let it be a messy first draft. Venus is still in rewind and Saturn is moving backward in Aries (your adventure zone), so the seeds sprout slowly. Sunday evening the Moon heads into Scorpio, so plan soup and blankets. ๐
๐ Key Dates This Week
๐ Life Areas
With Venus going backward through your home and family zone, love news arrives with a rewind button: an old flame's name pops up, a relative repeats a comment that still stings, a text from 2022 gets a suspicious second life. ๐ Single Leos, you are magnetic with Mars and Jupiter in your sign, and Saturday's New Moon in your communication zone gives you a clean opening to say one honest thing. Coupled Leos, ask the real question over dinner and listen to the whole answer. Keep the big relationship decisions for mid-November.
Mars and Jupiter in your sign make you look like the person with the plan, even on days when the plan is three words and a confident tone. ๐ผ Friday's Libra Moon and Saturday's New Moon wake up your communication zone, so this is a strong stretch for pitches, emails with a clear ask and the conversations you keep putting off. Draft early in the week, send after the New Moon and put one specific question in every message. Saturn, still moving backward in Aries, rewards anything you double-check.
Virgo is your money zone, and the Moon visits it on Wednesday and Thursday, so the vibe is tidy and practical. ๐ฐ Review one recurring charge, update one number in the budget and compare prices before you buy the thing you keep revisiting. Impulse buys feel extra convincing with Mars in your sign, so hold off on anything bigger than a nice dinner. Small, boring money moves are the glamorous ones right now.
The thin Moon in your own sign asks for a slow start. ๐ Monday and Tuesday go better with a long walk, a real breakfast and zero doomscrolling before 9. Midweek, the Virgo Moon rewards routines: a water bottle, a stretch, a bedtime with an actual time attached. By the weekend, the New Moon is a handy excuse to start one gentle habit in your communication zone, like a weekly call with the friend who gets you. Sunday evening belongs to the couch.
๐ Lucky Picks
Saturday's New Moon in your communication zone is a great moment to write down what you want to say, to whom and by when. ๐ Keep the first version short and honest. With Venus still going backward in your home zone, a delayed reply or a slow start is normal this week, so give conversations a few days to land before you rewrite them. Pick one message, send it on Saturday or Sunday and let it breathe.
