Design: YourTango | Photo: Jacob Lund, CanvaAccording to the weekly horoscopes for September 28 to October 4, 2026, this is going to be a kinda challenging week. But there is a big upside for each zodiac sign. As long as we are honest with ourselves, it can be very, very empowering.
Venusian energy is in the air at the beginning of the week as the Venus-ruled Taurus Moon serves as a prelude to the Venus retrograde beginning on October 3. When the Moon enters Gemini on the 30th, it might feel a little uncomfortable opening up to people, but the water energy from Venus in Scorpio makes it easier to do so with the people we trust most. Mercury enters Scorpio on the 30th, making this a fruitful time to face the uncomfortable and find solutions. On October 2, the Cancer Moon shows us that vulnerability can be healing. It's actually more empowering not to run from our emotions this week.
