Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday October 3
If you’re comparing and despairing, here’s a planetary PSA: Go easy on yourself, Gemini! Venus turns retrograde until November 13, backsliding in Scorpio and your critical sixth house, then falling into Libra and your fifth house of romance on October 25. As the expression goes, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” It may seem like everyone in your feed is happier, healthier and more successful than you. Rather than nurse those jealous thoughts, log out and double down on the routines that restore you. Do the things that make you feel like your most radiant self! And, most importantly, surround yourself with people who lift you up. Listen to their voices of encouragement and let them drown out your inner critic. You’ll need to keep your resolve strong after Halloween, when exes may resurface with drama for two weeks!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 3
Guard your heart! Passionate Venus slides into a perplexing retrograde until November 13, backing up through Scorpio and your romance sector until October 25, then slipping into Libra and your emotional fourth house. During this time, don’t pick up calls from mysterious numbers—or all too familiar ones. A dreaded ex could come creeping around, or you could meet someone with your old flame’s unsavory qualities. Even Cancers in the best relationships may deal with a small (or even medium-sized) hiccup. But that doesn’t mean you have to run for the hills. Maybe the two of you just need a little more personal space to create that dynamic spark again. Channel anxious energy into a creative project and you could get back to a centered place. Save the style risks until after November 13, too. Venus’ backspin could bring some questionable outfits, regrettable haircuts and tattoos that will invariably need a cover-up.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 3
Batten down the hatches! Harmonious Venus turns retrograde until November 13, disrupting your domestic bliss and complicating a few family relationships. Expect some ruffled feathers in your nest while Venus backslides first through Scorpio until October 25. During this time, a friend, relative or roommate could come at you with all emotions blaring. Take a deep breath instead of flying off the handle in response. It might require several conversations before this gets resolved. Avoid any extreme home makeovers. Venus rules all things aesthetic and your typically spot-on sense of style may be off-base. (What possessed you to paint your house greige, Leo?!) When Venus slips back into Libra on October 25, watch your words. Your enthusiasm could come across as overbearing if you’re not careful.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 3
Who’s the jerk in your inner circle, Virgo? Harmonizer Venus turns retrograde until November 13, backing up through Scorpio and bringing friction with friends, then scooting into Libra and muddling money matters after October 25. Out of “nowhere,” a sibling, beloved BFF or your closest work confidant could come at you with a major gripe. This person is one of your most treasured connections and you don’t want to say something that could drive a permanent wedge. Press pause on this particular argument and come back to it once you’re both feeling a little less heated. Despite all the friction of this transit, there IS a silver lining. Venus’ backspin can also reinvigorate neglected friendships or romances. Just don’t rush into any full-blown commitments until after November 13. When Venus slips back into Libra on October 25, take stock of your finances and tighten your belt as needed. An influential figure from your past could bring you a lucrative career opportunity. Line up that power lunch!
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 3
Your ruler, lavish Venus, turns retrograde today until November 13, sliding backward through Scorpio and your finance zone until October 25, then retreating into Libra and your house of self-image. Before you panic, know that Venus retrograde has a nostalgic streak, and it loves a throwback. Rather than splurging on a whole new look for your birthday, go shopping in your own closet. That vintage jacket you’ve been saving, sunglasses from a trip you loved or a silhouette you wore on repeat a few years back could be exactly right this season. Consider this your greatest-hits tour and revive a creative project from your past. While Venus is in reverse in Libra later this month, resist the urge to make drastic changes to your look, since your usually flawless eye can be a little off right now. Instead, revisit the styles that have always made you feel like the most magnetic person in the room. And since Venus rules money too, this is a fine few weeks to cook meals you miss making and celebrate on a budget so you won’t have a spending hangover before the holidays.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday October 3
Makeover, interrupted! Venus, the planetary aesthete, turns retrograde until November 13, sliding back into Scorpio and your first house of image, then, on October 25, regressing into Libra and your twelfth house of fantasy. This six-week period is so NOT the time for a style overhaul, especially if this fashion faux pas could have a lasting impact on your look. Skip the drastic chop, a piercing you might regret and anything permanent in ink. When it comes to romance, get ready to board the emotional rollercoaster. Just try not to bring your S.O. along for the drama-filled ride. Your moods may be stormier than usual, but the one you adore doesn’t need to bear the brunt of it. Single? You may be tempted to reignite a connection with a toxic ex, especially after October 25. Try to remember why you broke up in the first place instead of letting that sexy smile erase your good judgment.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday October 3
Is a romantic ghost coming back to haunt you? You could be visited by memories of your past starting today, as amorous Venus turns retrograde until November 13. Perhaps you’re struggling with a breakup, dealing with a dramatic ex or revisiting issues with your partner that you THOUGHT had been put to rest. With Venus sliding back through Scorpio and your twelfth house of subconscious healing until October 25, you may have to deal with things all over again. But look for the silver lining, Sagittarius. Clearly there are old wounds that haven’t yet healed, so use this backspin to do some important emotional work. Talk things through with a therapist or your inner circle, and book a restorative treatment like acupuncture or a float session. Now’s the time for deep processing and shedding a few layers of baggage for good! On October 25, Venus slides into Libra, and you might find yourself questioning your involvement with a certain group or organization. If you no longer see eye to eye with your fellow members, maybe it’s time to gracefully exit.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday October 3
Mutiny in the Capricorn crew? Drama could erupt within your inner circle starting today, as Venus turns retrograde until November 13, beginning the backspin in Scorpio and your popularity sector, then dipping into Libra and your tenth house of prestige on October 25. Until Halloween, this retrograde could disrupt the dynamic in your go-to squad. While this may blow up your group costume plans, take a breather before ghosting these people for good. Fortunately, this cycle could also bring you back into contact with old friends you’ve fallen out of touch with. Reconnect! If you’re single (and tired of seeing the same depressing prospects on the apps), head out into the real world to hunt for love. Coupled up? You and your S.O. are no doubt both busy, driven people. And though it’s great to be independent, you DO have to make time for date nights! During this cycle, shower your sweetie with plenty of affection. After October 25, professional partnerships could hit a rocky patch. Take time to lay a solid foundation now so you can weather any future storms.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday October 3
Romantic Venus starts a tricky backspin today, retrograding through Scorpio until November 13, then dipping into Libra and the long-term-planning sectors of your chart on October 25. You and your partner might hit a rough patch after realizing you’re not on the same page. Don’t hit the panic button! It could take a skillful compromise, but working through this brings you closer. Conflict might also arise at work in the coming weeks. Tread carefully around higher-ups and think twice before stirring the professional pot. Got the urge to jet-set? Choose your traveling companions carefully, especially if your journey falls between October 25 and November 13. If your job starts stressing you out, turn your lunch hours into restorative breaks. Even if you only have time for a five-minute guided meditation in your car, it could flip the mood around. Here’s the silver lining to this retrograde: An influential person from your field could become your professional guardian angel. Reach out to the people you admire and genuinely connect.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday October 3
Is your “picker” on point, Pisces? Love planet Venus turns retrograde until November 13, starting its backspin in Scorpio and your optimistic ninth house, then shifting into Libra and your intense and possessive eighth on October 25. Single? You can’t afford to skip the vetting during this tricky transit. Take red flags seriously, even if you later find out they’re NBD, and steer clear of anyone with a reputation for heartbreak. If you’re already in a relationship, think twice before stirring up drama with your sweetie just to “keep things interesting.” You may start to feel possessive and jealous after October 25. Rein it in and determine whether these issues are grounded in reality or just paranoid fantasies brought on by the green-eyed monster. Want to revitalize romance? Head to a favorite spot that has sentimental meaning AND sex appeal before the month is through.
