Hope you're ready for some changes to your zodiac sign's relationship and financial status this week! Between September 28 to October 4, 2026, some big astrological changes mean big changes in your life, too.

First, Mercury enters Scorpio on September 30. With Mercury and Venus now in the same sign, the way we view love is changing. For the better, thankfully. Mercury in Scorpio prefers deep conversations over small talk, an urge that only gets stronger once Venus (which rules both love and money) stations retrograde on October 3. Things might be a little messy at first, but there's a silver lining here for each astrological sign, too.

Now that the Full Moon in your sign has boosted your confidence, this week is all about learning what you want moving forward. Venus retrograde makes you think more deeply about your relationships and which ones deserve your energy. 

This is a time to prioritize your goals and dreams, which won’t be a problem with Mars now in Leo. Be willing to fight for what you want and bring about the changes you desire. That's the only way to get ahead.
