This week’s horoscopes (13 – 17 October 2025) centre on two major astrological events: Venus entering Libra and Pluto stationing direct in Aquarius.
These movements may affect emotions, relationships, and ongoing life shifts for all zodiac signs.
First, on 13 October, Venus—the planet associated with love, beauty, and harmony—moves into Libra, a sign that astrologers consider Venus’s “home.”
When a planet is in its home sign, it is said to “feel more at ease” and its qualities express more clearly.
According to PureWow, Venus in Libra this week “brings balance, symmetry and … touches of harmony” but also adds energy from outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
Also on 13 October, Pluto ends its retrograde (apparent backward) motion and begins a direct motion in Aquarius.
A retrograde period is when a planet appears to move backward from our view on Earth. When Pluto goes direct, many astrologers interpret it as a time when internal or hidden transformations begin to move forward outwardly.
Yoga Journal calls this a shift from inward examination toward outward transformation.
Below are the weekly forecasts for each zodiac sign, simplified and easy to follow:
