The first October weekend is shaped by significant astrological factors, chief among them being the onset of retrograde Venus. Noted astrologer Kateryna Solovyova has released a detailed forecast for October 3–4, 2026, warning representatives of all zodiac signs to approach important life decisions with caution. According to her, these days require maximum mindfulness, avoiding haste, and paying close attention to personal and professional relationships.
The Impact of Retrograde Venus and a Tense Saturday
The retrograde Venus period, beginning on October 3 and lasting until November 14, traditionally affects the realms of beauty, creativity, partnerships, and finance. The astrologer recommends using this time to review existing alliances, close old emotional loops, and return to unresolved issues. Saturday, October 3, is described as a particularly tense day, unfavorable for launching major projects, radical image changes, or expensive purchases. An additional risk factor is the Moon being «void-of-course» in the evening, starting from 18:08 Kyiv time.
Sunday's Characteristics and the Void-of-Course Moon
Sunday, October 4, will pass under the continuous influence of the void-of-course Moon, which will remain in this status throughout the entire day from 00:00 to 24:00 Kyiv time. Consequently, the astrologer strongly advises against large-scale undertakings, high-risk entertainment events, public speaking, and gambling. Instead, it is recommended to dedicate the day to quiet creative work, organizing belongings, and calmly reflecting on personal plans without forcing events.
Mars in Leo and Prospects for Zodiac Signs
In addition to the short-term weekend forecast, the expert highlights a broader astrological transit — Mars in Leo, active from September 28 to November 26, 2026. This planetary position can bring positive changes to hobbies, leisure, and romance, especially for entrepreneurs and managers. However, increased caution should be exercised by Leos, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpios, who are advised to avoid hasty steps despite the overall favorable backdrop for certain initiatives.
