What’s in store for love, according to your weekly horoscope starting September 26, 2022?
In the week ahead, the heavy retrograde energy that has been in place since the beginning of September finally begins to lift, giving you and your partner a chance to get back on track. RELATED: Each Zodiac Sign’s Weekly Horoscope For September 26 - October 2, 2022 One retrograde planet can be challenging, but when there are six representing almost every area of your life, it can feel overwhelming and like nothing is going right no matter how hard you try. Mercury will be the first place to turn direct in October, which will occur at the end of the week. At this point, everything should feel like it is lighter and that you have more room to move ahead. Before you reach that point, Mercury turning direct in Virgo and the First Quarter Moon in Capricorn ensure you will go over the details and hash out a plan together. There is a lot of energy this week around the feeling of not giving up on love or making sure that you are not letting a challenge be the reason you don’t keep pursuing or working towards creating a relationship you feel most strongly about. Not giving up is a balancing act in love. Of course, sometimes, in relationships giving up means that you are seeing the light and know what you deserve, but in others, it is because you cannot understand how it can all work, so you don’t try to. This week will have you reflecting on whether or not it is a matter of trying harder where you are or simply trying in a new relationship, even if one is not readily available to you. It is the last big week of reflection before the gears start to turn once again, and you will have to make some decisions and start planning out the action you will take. Breathe deep and remember that even if the details of love or sharing a life don’t feel all that romantic, you create space for the magic to happen.
Here are important dates to mark on your calendar for this week’s love horoscope:
