PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY October 5 2026 to October 11 2026 Monday October 5 In 1962, Dr No, the first James Bond film, premiered in London. With his cool confidence, glamorous lifestyle and ability to escape impossible situations, 007 introduced us to a new kind of hero. Yet as Venus (love and pleasure) settles into retrograde motion in mysterious Scorpio, today, even Bond might struggle! Appearances aren't everything. It's by being brave enough to acknowledge what matters to our hearts that we'll be able to make choices worthy of any leading role. Tuesday October 6 It's National Noodle Day! Noodles come in an extraordinary variety of shapes and sizes. Some are straight, some curly, and some seem designed to tie themselves into knots. Relationships can feel a bit like that too. And when situations get emotionally tangled, our instinct might be to pull hard in an attempt to straighten things out. Yet that often leads to even more complications! Today, by gently teasing misunderstandings apart, tricky situations will be easier to unravel than we think. Wednesday October 7 In 1959, we saw the first images of the far side of the Moon. Until then, this mysterious landscape had been hidden from earthly view. Today's Mercury/Venus conjunction encourages discoveries of a more human kind. Conversations can reveal feelings, motivations and possibilities that have been difficult to see/understand. What we discover won't necessarily be new. But by viewing a situation from a different perspective, something mysterious can become surprisingly reassuring. Thursday October 8 Yesterday, we celebrated the moment we first saw the far side of the Moon. Today, we're entering the Dark of the Moon - the silvery orb is gradually disappearing from view. And just as the fact that we can't see something doesn't mean it's not there, a lack of visible progress doesn't indicate that nothing is happening. Some of life's most important developments take place beneath the surface. It's only later that we recognise their significance. Encouraging signs are about to appear. Friday October 9 New beginnings often sound more dramatic than they are. We tend to think that doors have to slam shut before others can open. Or that bold decisions will transform everything overnight. Yet most fresh starts begin quietly. The weekend's Libra New Moon reminds us that meaningful change can start with subtle adjustments. By noticing where greater balance and understanding would make a difference, we can make small choices that lead towards much happier possibilities. Saturday October 10 Your Weekly Horoscope The week begins with the Libra New Moon encouraging us to notice where small adjustments can restore balance and improve our relationships. Just a slight change of attitude can create a very different dynamic. And as transformative Pluto slows to turn direct in Aquarius, deep developments are gathering momentum. Beneath the surface changes are starting to become visible. The cosmic message is clear: we can access the insight to make choices that lead to a brighter future.
