Week of 28 September – 4 October

Where the questions lead

A week that begins with friction and ends with a turn inward. The sky lights up communication and belief, movement and identity, and asks you to notice where the two are pulling in different directions.

Monday, Mars crosses into your first house, where it will stay for the next six weeks. Your energy sharpens, your presence gets harder to ignore, and you are likely to feel more impatient with anything that asks you to wait. The same day, Mercury in your third house trines the North Node in your seventh: conversations with a partner or close friend flow more easily than they have in weeks, and something said today clarifies what you have been circling around.

Wednesday, Mercury moves into your fourth house and opposes Chiron in your ninth. A conversation about home, family, or where you belong touches on something tender: a belief you have outgrown, a question you are tired of being asked, or a gap between what you were taught and what you now know to be true. The opposition is exact, so the friction is real, but it is also workable. Name the discomfort rather than smoothing it over.

Saturday, Venus turns retrograde in your fourth house, and the Last Quarter Moon asks you to let something go. The week's momentum slows. Venus will spend the next six weeks retracing her steps through home and family, and the questions she raises now will be the ones you are still working with in November. What needs revising is not always what needs leaving.

Hold onto this: the sharpness is not a mistake. The week is asking you to speak plainly, move decisively, and notice where old stories are still running the show.


Your chart on 28 September

The Moon moves through your chart faster than any other body, completing a full circle every month and changing the house it illuminates every two or three days. For you today, that means two significant shifts in the lunar landscape.

The Moon is finishing its passage through your ninth house, the realm of belief, study, and the larger questions you carry. As it does, it forms a sextile to your North Node, a harmonising aspect that suggests an ease in moving toward what you are becoming: your beliefs are aligning with your direction. This fades by tomorrow.

Mars entered your first house today, your house of presence and self. This is the beginning of a months-long transit that will colour how you move through the world, adding directness and appetite to your energy. You are being asked to lead with what you want.

Your Sun is in the third house, the house of thought and speech, and today it forms an exact trine to Uranus in your eleventh. This is a day when your ideas land clearly with the people around you, and when you can say something true that you have been holding.

Leo is read as a whole-sign solar chart, so the same sky lands in a different part of life for each of the twelve signs.Today the Moon is in Aries, your 9th house: travel, study, beliefs, and the bigger picture. Your ruler Sun sits in Libra, your 3rd house: communication, learning, siblings, short trips.

Relationships

You might find yourself in a conversation today where someone wants something from you, or where you want something they are not ready to give. The Moon is in your ninth house, wide and restless, and it is meeting Mars head-on: a friction between what you need to explore and what feels safe to someone close to you. This tension is exact today, so it has weight.

What steadies you is that the Moon is also sextile your North Node, a gentler current running underneath. You are learning something about how to hold your own ground without needing to win the argument. Mars sits in your first house, so this is partly about how you come across: direct, maybe blunt, but honest. That directness can feel sharp to people who prefer things left unsaid.

Venus is in your fourth house, in Scorpio, which means the people you are closest to matter deeply and you do not say that lightly. The friction today is not about not caring. It is about the distance between what you are willing to admit about yourself and what someone else is ready to hear. You do not need to resolve it today. Sit with the question instead of pushing for an answer.
