Hi loves, I'm Dahlia Kent, and this is your Celestial Forecast for the week of Monday, October 5. Well, Venus went retrograde Saturday. Now everybody hears Venus and thanks love. Venus is love. Venus is also money, beauty and what you believe things are worth, including yourself, which is where it gets expensive.

So this week, everybody's quietly recalculating. What's that cost? What's that worth? Whether they've been getting a deal or given one. One rule for every sign.

This week, you find out the price. You do not have to renegotiate it by Friday. Let's get into it. Aries, you're going to find out this week what somebody is actually willing to do for you. Not what they say, what they do when it's slightly inconvenient.

And Aries, you may not love the answer. Don't announce it. Don't make a speech about it. Just write it down somewhere in your head and start behaving accordingly. The people who show up when it costs them something are the ones whose opinion should carry weight.

Everybody else can have thoughts. Taurus, Venus is your planet and she's walking backwards. So somebody from a while ago is gonna cross your mind this week for no reason at all. Not to be acted on, just to be noticed. And here's what I want you to do instead.

Go let somebody current notice you, get dressed for a Tuesday, leave the house, let somebody look. Taurus, you are extremely good at this and you have gotten out of practice. Gemini, you're going to talk yourself out of asking for something this week before anybody's had a chance to say no. A full conversation, both sides in your head, ending in a no that nobody actually said. Gemini, you're the best talker in the zodiac and you keep using it on yourself.

Ask the real person out loud. They may say no, but at least make them do their own disappointing. And they may say yes, which is always a nice reminder that your imagination is not a reliable life coach. Cancer, somebody is gonna say something careless this week about a person you love and you are gonna go completely still, not angry, cold. You'll be perfectly polite and they will have no idea they just lost something.

Cancer, that's your best and your worst move. It's a real protection and it's also a door that doesn't reopen. Before you close it, decide whether they were careless or actually cool. Those get different treatments. Leo, Monday, the moon joins Mars and Jupiter in Leo.

So you've got attention and momentum. That's a dangerous combination for a person with opinions. Somebody's gonna ask you what you think this week and they're not prepared for how thoroughly you've thought about it. It starts small, a dinner, a presentation, a group chat about what everybody should wear. You make one suggestion, the next thing you know, everybody's waiting on you to decide.

You're unusually persuasive this week, Leo. Just remember the minute you say, what if we just, you own it. Virgo, you're going to audit something this week, a subscription, a bill, a monthly charge you no longer recognize. Good, enjoy that thoroughly. Nobody enjoys it like you do.

But Virgo, when you get to the part of the list that's a person, stop. Not everything in your life has to be efficient. Some things are just there because you love them and they cost what they cost. Libra, you're going to be asked to do something this week for free that you have every right to be paid for. Money, time, or credit.

And you're going say yes because yes is faster and you've built an entire personality out of being easy to work with. Try saying this instead. I'd love to. What's the budget? Six words and then silence.

The silence is the whole technique. Do not fill it with a discount. Scorpio, Venus is walking through your sign. So this week something you filed away a long time ago comes back up to the surface. Not a person, a version of yourself.

The one before you got so careful. You don't have to act on it, but don't slam the drawer either. Some of that intensity you decided was too much for people. It wasn't too much. They just met you too early.

Let it breathe this week. Sagittarius, you're gonna wanna buy something this week because of the woman you imagine owning it. She has the coat, yes, but she also remembers birthdays, keeps lemons in a bowl and has never once let a load of laundry live in the dryer for three days. You cannot add her to the cart. Buy the coat if you love the coat, just don't buy it Tuesday at eleven at night because for six beautiful minutes, you thought it came with a cleaner kitchen and a more convincing sense of self.

Capricorn, you know exactly what you're worth and you have never once said the number out loud. This week, somebody's gonna ask you what you need and you're gonna go low. Not because you doubt yourself because the low keeps the room comfortable and you'd rather be comfortable than accurate. Say the real number, let it sit there in the air being awkward. Do not rescue the room with a small number.

Awkward is not the same as wrong. Aquarius, somebody is gonna be wrong about you this week out loud in front of people, not maliciously. They've just got an old version of you in their head and they're describing it with total confidence. Aquarius, you don't have to correct the record. You especially don't have to correct it with evidence.

Let them be wrong. The people who mattered figured you out a while ago without needing the presentation. Pisces, somebody's gonna be soft with you this week. More patient than you earned, kinder than the situation called for, and you're gonna feel a little guilty about it. Take it Pisces, take it and say thank you and do not apologize for being on the receiving end of somebody's tenderness.

You spent years being the soft one for other people. Let somebody be soft with you and don't make it a whole thing. And that's your week. Somebody is saying the real number out loud. Somebody is asking what the budget is and getting quiet.

And somebody is letting a little thing stay uneven. Remember this week, you find out the price. You do not have to renegotiate it by Friday. I'm Dahlia Kent. Follow the show wherever you listen, share with a friend.

I'll be back next Monday. Until then, have a great week. Love you guys.
