Your daily horoscopes for Friday October 4, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
Your action-oriented sign can benefit from slowing down and tuning into subtle cues and signs from the mysterious universe. Alluring Venus in your esoteric eighth is fist-bumping karmic Saturn, which could make every experience feel layered and meaningful. Throughout the day, you may experience an irresistible pull to explore the woo, follow up on a synchronicity or get an intuitive reading. This is your unconscious mind opening up, and you could find answers to some of your greatest questions by allowing yourself to swim in the seas of uncertainty instead of relying on your existing knowledge base.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
If you’ve been feeling like love (or money) has eluded you, it might be time to change your approach. Instead of stubbornly searching far and wide, consider the possibility that the right opportunity is already in your orbit but that you’ve been too focused elsewhere to notice. With enchanting Venus in your partnership zone aligning with disciplined Saturn in your collaboration house, it’s time to shift gears. Rather than venturing into new territory, nurture a connection that’s within arm’s reach. Sometimes the most fertile ground is right in your own backyard just waiting for you to tend to it.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
Ditch the standard advice to go big, Gemini, and today, stay on “home turf” to whittle down your game plan. As the zodiac’s most experimental sign, you can dabble to the point of becoming a dilettante who never achieves your desired end goal. But with discerning Saturn teaming up with pleasure planet Venus—and in your houses of hard work and professional success, no less—you’ll appreciate the value of laying a solid foundation and moving at a comfortable (stress-free) pace. Break your plan into phases so you can have a win under your belt before moving on to the next lofty goal.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
Whoa there, Cancer. Charging ahead without tending to the finer details could slow the momentum in a budding relationship. With romantic Venus in your passionate fifth house aligning with prudent Saturn, you may feel compelled to tap the brakes. But don’t worry—this is a flashing yellow light, not a full stop, so you can move forward with care. If your emotions are outpacing reality or you’re overlooking key boundaries, it’s time to pause. Rest assured, though—if this connection is meant to last, it will withstand the test of time.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
Have you been unconsciously overlooking someone’s steadfast love or support? Whoops, Leo. Today’s cosmic alignment nudges you to hit pause and show your sincerest gratitude to someone in your closest circle. With warm-hearted Venus glowing in your domestic zone and forming a harmonious trine to reliable Saturn in your intimate eighth house, cleaning up your oversight can help you reconnect and even strengthen your connection. Allow yourself to truly feel the depth of this bond and communicate it openly. That simple gesture could fortify the relationship, making it stronger and more enduring.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
You may finally be ready to step off the “love me, love me not” carousel today, Virgo. Romantic Venus in your expressive fifth house forms a harmonious trine with commitment-oriented Saturn in your partnership sector, urging you to seek clarity. While the stars are aligning for stability, remember that it takes two to tango. Trust your communication instincts to find just the right words (and timing) to initiate a meaningful conversation about the direction of this relationship. Already coupled up? This grounding trine may inspire you to gently nudge things toward the next level. If you’ve hit a roadblock, a diplomatic discussion can help you get past the communication crossroads.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
You love them, you love them not. It’s not exactly an easy task for a Libra to crystallize your needs and desires when it comes to intimate relationships. Fortunately, today’s skies could spark some revelatory insights. Your ruling planet, diplomatic Venus, is spinning through your second house of security and values and forming a supportive trine to mature and grounded Saturn. Let these epiphanies flow in without rushing to conclusions or taking any immediate action. While you may feel compelled to “tidy up” your emotional life, give the dust a moment to settle before making any big moves.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
“Is it casual now?” asked no Scorpio, ever. But even if you’re jumping out of your skin with desire, try to contain your excitement. Vixen Venus in your sign is forming a deliciously stable trine with rock-steady Saturn in your romance house, helping you retain SOME semblance of alluring restraint. Single Scorpios could charm a keeper, so resist the urge to head straight home after work if you can help it. Attached? Plan a surprise evening and leave tantalizing hints throughout the day to build anticipation.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
Micromanaging every detail of a project won’t necessarily guarantee success, Sagittarius. In fact, today’s stars suggest you may feel a modicum of relief in surrendering (even if just temporarily) the illusion of control. With Venus in your mystical twelfth house forming a steady trine to reliable Saturn, it’s time to slip out of the driver’s seat. Trying to keep it all together on your own is not only exhausting but unnecessary. Instead of overplanning every detail, delegate to a reliable colleague and trust that whatever unfolds will be just right.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
If your decision-making has come down to a coin toss, it may be time to open up the floor for advice. As a Capricorn, your ability to foresee potential pitfalls can sometimes leave you frozen, unable to move ahead on an important choice (while the clock keeps ticking.) Today, however, your ruler, pragmatic Saturn, in your communication sector gets a supportive boost from fair-minded Venus in your house of teamwork. Lean on your inner circle for counsel and seek input from one or two of your most grounded, practical confidants.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
Collaboration is your secret superpower, Aquarius, but in order to activate that gift, you have to come out from under cover and let people know what you need. Today, people magnet Venus is beaming in your career sector—and getting a boost from goal-oriented Saturn in your house of security and finances. The stage is set for a lucrative group effort to emerge. If you keep masking your shortcomings for fear of being judged, no one will be able to lend support. There are people out there who know more than you about certain things. Tapping into their wisdom is an act of strength, not weakness.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Friday October 4
Take time to assess your progress today, Pisces. Have you detoured off your original path? If so, you can course-correct quickly. Better still? Today’s actualizing trine between harmonizing Venus in your expansive ninth house and grounded Saturn in your sign can help you manifest a milestone with surprising ease. The beauty of this cosmic support is that you won’t have to sacrifice your cherished freedom for security. In fact, by living and speaking your truth, you signal the universe that you’re committed to your vision and won’t stop till you reach it.
