Weekly Overview
09.23-29.2026
The astrology of this week is challenging and it's important that you practice healthy psychic and emotional hygiene. This includes staying connected to your boundaries and acting in ways that reflect what is important to you instead of only what you fear. On the 26th there will be a Full Moon in Aries that may test your capacity to show up and access your agency. The start of next week includes other astrological challenges that may find you either in a pretty bad mood or dealing with others who feel crummy and don't act their best. Who you choose to be in any given situation is a reflection on you no matter how tempting it is to let your circumstances dictate your actions. Strive to be your best, even if others are not playing by the same rules. As always, you can listen to my twice weekly astrology show, Ghost of a Podcast, wherever you listen to podcasts.

There are so many things that you want and so much potential active in your life, and this is a really beautiful thing. Unfortunately, when things don't happen as quickly as you expect or in the ways that you would prefer, it can be pretty demoralizing which then sets you back. This week your anxieties may be running rampant when what you really need is to slow down, take a breath, and sit with your feelings, needs, and worries. Sometimes the act of not acting is what allows clarity to rise to the surface, Aries.
If you're feeling overwhelmed or burnt out, this is definitely the time to stop looking for absolutes and start seeking compromise. This week your challenge is to be more collaborative. This may look like collaborating with your circumstances, between two dueling needs, or something else altogether, but it will require you prioritizing your own equilibrium over seeking quick fixes. Make sure that your motivations reflect your wisest parts instead of your strongest emotions, Taurus.
You've got some very real concerns on your mind and it's important that you sort through them. The trick is to do so from an empowered place. If you allow your musing to be anxiety-fueled, you are likely to focus on your insecurities and be driven by scarcity. Nurture yourself through your concerns by letting go of what's outside of your control and tapping into your agency in the here and now, Twin Star.
The Full Moon on the 26th is likely to have you not only feeling emotional but not knowing which way to go. Instead of getting hung up on "shoulds", ground into your values. When you center what's truly important to you, it’s easier to identify where to pour your precious energy and which of your priorities to center at this time. You don't need perfection, just your clearest understanding of the truth as it is in the here and now, Moonchild.
The Full Moon in Aries on the 26th is a great time to let go, but the question is what to let go of. Here's a pro tip for you: if you're engaged in a power struggle, chances are high that you need to let go. Whether you need to let go of your attachments, your expectations, your behaviors, or something else altogether remains to be determined, but you are being tasked with the hard work of honoring your heart over your ego this week, Leo.
Sometimes things don't have an order to them, and that can be hard to accept. This week you are being challenged to navigate chaos, and that can lead to anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings. Do your best to honor the things that are important to you, even as you're feeling off and new or different things shift on your priorities scale. Things don't need to be perfect or permanent to be exactly where they need to be. Just meet this moment, on this day, and the best ways you know how, Virgo.
The Full Moon on the 26th is meant to rattle you, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Instead of trying to get ahead of difficulties, strive to figure out what's at the root of them, Libra. As you do this investigation, know that it is meant to be a primarily emotional one as you determine what is right and real for you instead of the "right" answer. Act in ways that are authentic and aligned instead of accommodating for diplomacy's sake alone. It's time to get real, Libra.
You may be feeling pretty backed up and stuck because either things are going really differently than you want them to, or people and situations are actively blocking the progress you most desire. It's important that you work with matters as they are right now. This requires acceptance, and you may have to accept things are not fair. Your acceptance does not equal consent – it is simply awareness without resistance. It's the tool that will help you to identify your needs and strategize the best way forward this week, Scorpio.
How you communicate with others is being tested this week, and it may not necessarily be a verbal communication test. It's important that your actions and your words line up. If they don't, it's likely to have created some very real discord between you and others. Communication is also about listening. If or whether you have been actively listening to the people you care about or your colleagues is really important. Either way, now is the time to slow down and take in the information you are being shown, Sagittarius.
As you do your best to let go of what no longer serves you, you are likely to be changed. Change is neither inherently good nor bad, but it most certainly can be triggering to the people around you. This week you may find yourself exploring your relationships and finding some troubles that need tending to. Prioritize being forthright and honest in your dynamics with others so that you can meet this moment and the people you care about in both a meaningful and sustainable way, Capricorn.
You are in a great place to connect to your big picture goals and assess your internal resources for making them happen, but not so much for taking action right now. The internal process of figuring out your feelings and needs, making sense of the data, and weighing all of this against the demands and desires of the people and situations you are involved with takes care and time. Don't rush yourself, Aquarius.
Your ruling planet, Neptune, is active this week, which may be triggering up some anxieties, exhaustion, and the need for healthier boundaries. There are details that require your immediate attention, but this is an important time for a big picture approach to everything you do. Point yourself in the direction of your overarching goals and hopes, Pisces.
