Welcome to your Queer Weekly Horoscope, a bite-sized look at the coming days broken down by your zodiac sign.
This week, we’ve got energy to spare! We want what we want, and we’re blessed with a surplus of good fortune to go after it! But do we want healing? No, we absolutely do not! How is this all going to shake out? Definitely not well, but hopefully not worse than where we started! Let’s get into it.
At the dawn of the week, Venus and Mars decide to get together and go for it, launching us into Monday at high velocity. In Libra, chatty Mercury buddies up to lucky Jupiter, but shuns healing Chiron. Then Jupiter decides it’s time for a vacation and turns retrograde in Gemini. Here on Earth, we’re all itchy to accomplish goals when the First Quarter Moon in Capricorn grows irritated with the Sun. Suddenly, after months of sameness, way-out Pluto makes a move, ending its latest retrograde and turning direct! Jupiter thinks this is the perfect moment to establish a friendly acquaintanceship with Chiron. Mercury does not approve of friendly overtures and starts a fight with Pluto, but then Mercury up and jumps from Libra to Scorpio and the argument becomes moot. Mars picks up the belligerent energy and attacks poor little Chiron. The Sun doesn’t care, since it opposes Chiron at the time. Instead, the Sun ends the final moments of the week on a happy note with its good pal, Jupiter.
Libra starts the line-up for this weekly horoscope, then we’ll look at every sign until the full picture of fate is revealed. If you know more of your placements than your Sun Sign alone (Moon, Rising, Mars, etc.), check their entries as well to get a full picture of your astrological forecast.

You’re feeling highly motivated and energetic, and you really want to expand your horizons. Unfortunately, you do not want to heal old damage while you’re growing. Somehow, you want to attain the benefits of personal evolution without actually changing anything about your life. Libras are adept at balancing conflicting interests, but this week’s urges sure do present a conundrum! You enjoy a bit of protection from friendly interactions with Jupiter, which could help cushion you from suffering new injuries, but you need to be careful lest you wreak destruction on others around you.
Hang in there! At the end of the week, you bid farewell to Mercury, and then you might finally stand a chance of enjoying an occasional moment of silence inside your own mind.

You’re preparing for large life changes, which await you further down the road during your own season. You begin this week in proactive pursuit of your desires, bustling busily from Monday to Friday. Then, it’s time for the big event: Pluto ends its latest retrograde in Capricorn and turns direct! This shouldn’t cause an immediate tidal wave of noticeable difference in your life. Instead, it’s the distant flap of a butterfly wing that will eventually lead to pivotal developments down the line.
At the end of the week, Mercury — which governs small life changes and helps you surf the sea of daily shifts — stubs up in a brief conflict with Pluto, the ruler of inexorable life development and reinvention. But after several hours of uncomfortable internal conflict, Mercury gives up the fight and hops over from Libra into your sign.

- Mercury creates a trine with Jupiter.
- Jupiter turns retrograde, then forms a sextile with Chiron.
- The Sun creates a trine with Jupiter.
- The waxing crescent Moon in your sign squares off against Saturn and Neptune, forms sextiles with the Sun and Mercury, and opposes Jupiter.
Your enormous, cheerful sign ruler Jupiter sees some action this week! The representatives of communication and self-understanding both love your big ol’ boss planet. Jupiter must be enjoying its stay in Gemini, because it turns retrograde to extend its time with your sibling sign. Cruising retrograde, Jupiter encourages a little healing in partnership with Chiron. Over the weekend, you’re likely to get into a minor episode of happy, life-affirming trouble.

- Mercury squares off against Pluto.
- The First Quarter Moon in your sign forms sextiles with Saturn, Venus, and Neptune; squares off against the Sun and Mercury; opposes Mars; creates a trine with Uranus; and passes through conjunction with Pluto.
Immense cosmic change begins with a ripple this week. To start, the First Quarter Moon in your sign catches an awkward combination of feelings, causing you to reconsider the foundational life systems you usually take for granted. Instead, you’ll rely on dreamy experimentation to figure out some new and improved methods. How whimsical for Capricorn! Then, Pluto turns direct in your sign, beginning its final forward march through your sign for the remainder of our lifetimes. You’ve got around a month left before it’s time to say your final goodbye. Pay attention to your dwarf planet pal Pluto and think about what you want your life to look like when it leaves you for the last time.
- Your sign ruler Uranus is retrograde in Taurus.
- The waxing gibbous Moon in your sign creates trines with the Sun and Jupiter and squares off against Venus and Uranus.
Over in Capricorn, Pluto wraps up its latest lackadaisical retrograde and begins to mosey its way back toward your sign. It will eventually arrive next season, bringing significant life change not just to you, but also the entire world.
This week, the swelling Moon in your sign instigates personal growth. But it defies your present desires and your preferred methods of investigation in order to do so. This will likely result in a couple of uncomfortable days, but when it’s done you’ll walk out with a newly renovated and roomier internal space in which your soul can continue to expand.
- Saturn and your ruler Neptune are both retrograde in your sign.
- The waxing gibbous Moon in your sign creates a trine with Mercury.
Your feelings go up and down while the Moon parades from Sagittarius to your sign. The waxing crescent Moon in Sag causes you some emotional strife when it fights with Saturn and Neptune in your sign, but the First Quarter Moon in Capricorn smooths out the drama with sensations of acceptance and peace. At the end of the week, you welcome the waxing gibbous Moon to your own sign and grow talkative when the Moon immediately befriends Mercury.

- Mercury and the Sun oppose Chiron.
- Jupiter forms a sextile with Chiron.
- Mars squares off against Chiron.
Healing: it’s a difficult endeavor to undertake, and sometimes you sustain fresh injuries while you’re doing it! You’re strongly motivated to accomplish your goals this week, but several obstacles loom along your path. Communication, self-perception, and your signature charge-ahead energy are not helping with your attempts to fix your current problems. For now, your strengths might actually serve to make the situation worse. But the outlook isn’t entirely bleak: Lucky Jupiter grants a small boon to assist with your ongoing journey of healing! It might be unexpected, but you’ll recognize it by the sense of satisfaction it brings.
- Uranus is retrograde in your sign.
- Your sign ruler Venus is in Scorpio.
- Venus creates a trine with Mars.
Venus, the ruler of desire (and you!), is in Scorpio. Mars, the leader of action, is in Cancer. At the dawn of the week, the two join forces in a pointed partnership that will prod you over the edge to dive deep into an overwhelming new obsession. How fun! You won’t be able to focus on much else in the meantime, but October is a great month to indulge a fresh fixation.
- Jupiter is in your sign.
- Your sign ruler Mercury begins the week in Libra, where it creates a trine with Jupiter, opposes Chiron, and squares off against Pluto. Then, Mercury leaves Libra and moves to Scorpio.
- Jupiter turns retrograde, then forms a sextile with Chiron.
- The Sun creates a trine with Jupiter.
This week, your sign ruler Mercury loves luck, neglects healing, and hates disruptive life change. Then, in spite of that last item on the list, Mercury suddenly decides it’s time to start Halloween early and hops over from Libra to Scorpio. You’ll probably feel correspondingly devious for the next three weeks until Mercury sails on to your sibling sign, Sagittarius.
You’re currently playing host to Sag’s ruling planet, Jupiter, which is loving its time in your sign so much that it turns retrograde to extend its stay! From now until February, the big happy planet drifts along on a retrograde vacation in your sign. To get the relaxation started, Jupiter initiates a friendly relationship with Chiron, the centaur of healing. In the very last moments of the week, the Sun smiles beatifically on Jupiter, blessing you with confidence to begin the next Monday in a chipper mood.
- Mars is in your sign.
- Venus creates a trine with Mars.
- Mars squares off against Chiron.
- Your sign ruler the Moon travels through Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
- The First Quarter Moon in Capricorn squares off against the Sun.
The fiery energy of Mars continues to boil your blood, so much so that we’ve got to bust out some capital letters to properly convey the intensity of the sensations it evokes: You YEARN to satisfy your desires! You REJECT an opportunity for healing! Dangerous combination, lol. The First Quarter Moon in your sibling sign Capricorn clashes with the Sun, adding a restless sense of dissatisfaction to the mix. Try to stay safe out there this week!
- Your sign ruler the Sun is in Libra.
- The Sun opposes Chiron and creates a trine with Jupiter.
At the very end of this week, you scorn the work of healing to chase the allure of good luck. Relatable! Hopefully the Sun’s friendship with Jupiter will help keep you from harm, in spite of your celestial sign ruler’s disinterest in the recuperative powers of Chiron.
- Your sign ruler Mercury begins the week in Libra, where it creates a trine with Jupiter, opposes Chiron, and squares off against Pluto. Then, Mercury leaves Libra and moves to Scorpio.
“Good luck? Yes! Healing? No! Important life change? Hell no!”That’s what your sign ruler Mercury has to say about its moods this week. But then on Sunday afternoon, Mercury jumps the fence from airy Libra to icy Scorpio. Hell yeah! Now, you can properly focus your attention on crafting the perfect costume for Halloween 2024.
