On Thursday, September 10, 2026, a significant celestial shift occurs as Venus moves into Scorpio, Mercury enters Libra, and Uranus begins its annual retrograde, according to professional astrologer Patrick Arundell for Metro. This cosmic combination is set to spice up the day, with Cancer, Leo, and Virgo particularly poised for intrigue. Creative energy flows strongly, offering a chance to accomplish great things, while the planets are ready to shake up routines—so don’t be ruffled by changes, big or small.
Planetary movements and their global impact
Venus’s transition into Scorpio brings a deeper, more intense energy to matters of love and money, while Mercury’s shift into Libra enhances balance and communication. Uranus retrograde, which began in April and now reverses, prompts a review of decisions made since then. According to Arundell, this can sharpen listening skills and spark a yearning for deeper connections or a desire to escape unsatisfying bonds.

Star sign forecasts: Aries to Virgo
Aries (March 21 – April 20): With Venus diving deep into Scorpio and Mercury replacing her in Libra, plus Uranus retrograde, Aries may sharpen listening skills and yearn for deeper connections or to escape an unenjoyable bond.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21): Your eye for detail will be strong over the next few weeks, great for tackling paperwork or chores. With Venus moving into your opposite sign, appreciation for key people increases. Singles may feel more open to a new connection.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21): Mercury emerging into a vibrant part of your chart reignites your social life, bringing fun and mischief. However, Uranus retrograde may lead you to review decisions made since April.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23): Mercury retreats into a sheltered area, drawing you toward a quieter mode, while Venus encourages social interaction. Creative, home-based hobbies or hosting can link these energies.
Leo (July 24 – August 23): Uranus retrograde prompts deeper thought about your long-term future and whether you’ve been deflected. Venus in the most homely area makes beautifying your space appealing.
Virgo (August 24 – September 23): With Mercury zipping into your sector of everyday finances, creative strands can be converted into something tangible. If you’ve resisted professional change, it may still come.
Star sign forecasts: Libra to Pisces
Libra (September 24 – October 23): Mercury moving into your sign, as Venus moves out, can turn finances for the better. Ideas on the back burner gain traction, and believing you’re worthy of better things increases the chance of getting them.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22): Venus has been quietly emphasizing connections to others, possibly leading to reconnecting with an old friend or lover, or ending an unhappy tie. Today, you can feel ready to step into your future and more alluring.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21): Uranus has added zest to relationships since April, possibly bringing sizzling connections or making dull ties give way. You’re set to reflect even deeper on one intimate involvement in coming months, and may change your mind several times.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 21): Routines have been disrupted since Uranus entered Gemini in April. With Uranus retrograde, you can make sense of this, especially around work. It’s an ideal time to consider a training course or apply past experiences in a fresh setting.
Aquarius (January 22 – February 19): Your analytical skills have been to the fore, giving added perceptiveness. With Uranus retracing steps and Mercury hitting fresh cosmic air, change calls out—even your personal look is ripe for a refresh.
Pisces (February 20 – March 20): Unsettled energies may raise questions about where you live, work, or who you see. Breaking out of routines could be just the pep you need. With Venus moving into Scorpio, a change of scene, especially somewhere different from your usual fare, can work wonders.
