PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY September 28 2026 to October 4 2026 Monday September 28 Brigitte Bardot, who was born on this day, became one of the most recognisable stars of her generation. Her unmistakable style seems especially appropriate on a day when Mars' move into theatrical Leo encourages us to express ourselves with confidence and flair. And with the Sun forming a trine to innovative Uranus, we don't need to follow anyone else's script. Or have star quality to make an impression. By trusting what makes us distinctive, we can all find ways to shine. Tuesday September 29 On this day in 1829, London's Metropolitan Police began patrolling the streets. Almost two centuries later, even if the idea of being a detective doesn't appeal to us, we're surprisingly good at spotting clues. And as Mercury prepares to move into perceptive Scorpio, our powers of observation are sharpening. It's a good time to look beyond appearances, ask thoughtful questions, and pay attention to what isn't being said. What we uncover can help solve a mystery and deepen understanding. Wednesday September 30 Earlier in the week, we talked about global screen icon Brigitte Bardot. Today we remember James Dean, who died on this day in 1955.

Whether it's a double espresso, a frothy cappuccino, or a cup of tea, there's something special about the ritual of stopping for a drink. 'Fancy a coffee?' is an invitation to pause, connect, catch up, or spend a few minutes doing absolutely nothing. In a world that encourages us to hurry and squeeze in as much as we can, these little interludes matter. Today, making time for a conversation, a breather, or something delicious might be exactly the refreshment we need. Friday October 2 Although we're travelling forwards in time, we sometimes need to glance back to understand where we've been. This weekend, as Venus turns retrograde in deeply insightful Scorpio, the planet of love encourages us to reconsider matters of the heart. Old feelings might resurface. Or we might find ourselves wondering if something we want still holds the same appeal. It's an opportunity to understand what's important right now. That knowledge can be both liberating and inspiring. Saturday October 3 Your October Monthly Horoscope With Venus turning retrograde in Scorpio at the start of the month, October will be (to say the least!) emotionally-charged. As our attention is drawn towards Venusian themes of love, beauty, money and values, this re-evaluation time holds the potential for transformational change.
