The most important development of this week is Venus stationing in Scorpio and turning retrograde on Saturday 3 October. Venus goes retrograde roughly once every eighteen months, and this opens a long period of review in the areas of relationships, values, money and aesthetics. Moreover, Venus makes this retrograde in Scorpio, where it is in detriment; that is, it turns back in a sign where it is already uncomfortable. In the coming weeks old relationships may come up, a matter thought to be closed may reopen, and what a bond really is may be questioned. The classical approach does not recommend beginning a new relationship, marrying, having a significant aesthetic procedure or making a large purchase in this period; for these it is wiser to wait for the retrograde to end. On the other hand, it is a favourable period for repairing the old, completing what was left unfinished and understanding what you truly value.
The week's second movement is Mars passing from Cancer into Leo on 28 September. For months Mars has been in fall, in a state of limited strength; with its move into Leo this weakness ends and its energy becomes direct, bold and visible again. Initiative returns, but Leo's pride also gets involved.
The third development is the Sun-Saturn opposition tightening throughout the week. The Sun, in fall in Libra, and retrograde Saturn, in fall in Aries, come face to face; this aspect, in which both planets are weak, brings a few days in which responsibilities grow heavier, a limit has to be faced and energy drops. It reaches its most intense point towards the weekend. Mercury also moves from Libra into Scorpio on 30 September, and its way of thinking shifts from analytical to investigative and probing; because it squares Mars in the same days, words may sharpen.
♈ Aries House: Shared finances, transformation
The Sun-Saturn opposition tightens between your 7th House and your own sign and reaches its most intense point towards the weekend. Your relationship axis comes under strain; a demand or a limit coming from the other side may feel heavy, and you may feel both tired and alone. Because Saturn is in fall in your sign, this feeling may be exaggerated, so do not be hard on yourself.
Your ruler Mars leaves your 4th House on 28 September and moves into your 5th, into Leo, and its months-long fall comes to an end. Your energy returns and turns towards your field of creativity, love and pleasure; this is the best news of the week. Venus, meanwhile, turns retrograde in your 8th House on 3 October; shared financial matters and a deep bond will be reviewed, so do not enter a new financial commitment in this period.
♉ Taurus House: Relationships, partnerships
Your ruler Venus turns retrograde in your 7th House on 3 October, and this concerns you directly.

The Sun-Saturn opposition tightens between your 6th and 12th Houses; workload collides with inner tiredness, and your need for rest grows towards the weekend. Mars moves into your 4th House, into Leo, on 28 September and its fall ends; your energy on the home and family front starts working again.
