WEEKLY FORECAST: The Week Starts Exhausted, but Breathes New Life From Friday

The week begins under the influence of the waning moon, with many people feeling drained after the eclipse period. The forecast advises taking life slowly and allowing things to settle without rushing or forcing progress.

Thursday brings what the forecast calls a final necessary completion and cleansing. On Friday, a new lunar cycle begins in Virgo, the first new moon after the eclipse period. It is associated with a practical reset in health, daily organization, order and work rhythms.

The forecast says perspectives will begin changing toward the weekend. It describes the period as favorable for meaningful conversations, therapeutic activity and creative plans. Mental blocks and communication tensions that many may have experienced in recent weeks are expected to start dissolving.

The astrological influences include Venus in a trine with the North Node on Tuesday, encouraging movement in matters of the heart, relationships and values. On Wednesday, Venus forms a sextile with Black Moon Lilith, bringing greater authenticity to relationships and personal values.

Thursday carries several shifts. Venus enters Scorpio at 11:07, beginning a gradual lead-in to its retrograde period in October. The forecast says this placement strips away flattering or overly diplomatic layers in relationships and forces a more direct look at what people value and desire. Later, Venus opposes Chiron in Taurus at 20:15, potentially exposing wounds connected to self-worth, love and sexuality that may seek healing during the retrograde period.
