Weekly Overview
05.20-26.2026
The astrology of this week is designed to test your boundaries with yourself so that you respond to your strong emotions, unexpected events, and conflict in ways that reflect what's true for you instead of only what you fear. Find out what it all means for your sign below, but if you'd like to know more about the details of the astrology, you can listen to my astrology show, Ghost of a Podcast, below or wherever podcasts are heard. Check out the transcript for the latest episode right here.
Your ego is not a good thing or a bad thing – it's a part of you to keep in healthy balance, just like any other part of you. This week it's important that you have a strong enough ego to ask for what you need, prioritize the things you care about, and be bold when boldness is required. This would be really easy to do in a defensive way, and that will only end up creating opposition and discord. So instead, it's important that you act from a place of clear self-worth, Aries.
This is a powerful time for you to slow down, get grounded, and be intentional, Taurus. If you allow yourself to react too impulsively, you may succeed in making things more complicated and difficult, just in a different way. This is an important time for you to assess the things that you value, and how you have been living to uphold and prioritize those values. If you find a gap between what you're doing and what you care about, fill it with care this week.
If you find yourself in a state of negative obsession this week, you're not alone. That said, it's time to take a more collaborative approach to how you think about the things that are important to you. What you need on a personal level may be different than what you need from work. The compromises you need to make at the office might be meaningfully different than the ones that would be healthy for you to make with friends, family, or other loved ones. This is a valuable time to figure out what is sustainable for you, versus what may need to either change your expectations, perspective, or your actions around, Twin Star.
You may be feeling frustrated or sad in your relationships this week, and the medicine most needed is a combination of empathy and action. Strive to approach complicated dynamics in your heart or with others with as much care and consideration as you can, assuming the best, especially when it would be easier to assume the worst. But don't stop there. Assumptions, as the saying goes, make an ass out of you and me. This is a time to be proactive, to communicate, ask questions, and honor the truth that you uncover, Moonchild.
If you've been having bad dreams or are finding yourself in stress loops, it's important that you strive to understand the difference between the concerns that you can do something about, and those which are out of your control. They are both perfectly valid things to be worried about, but they require different kinds of care. Nurture yourself through the anxieties that you can't control and identify what your next best steps are for that which you can directly influence, Leo.
Your assignment this week is to seek the yes. When you orient your thinking towards looking for a clear and unequivocal yes, you start to understand what is healthy for you, where your joy lives, and even which struggles are in alignment to take on. Similarly, there is a meaningful difference between things that are a yes, that are a solid and clear no, and what exists in the realm of maybe. The better you know yourself, the better equipped you are to navigate the period of choices that you are faced with daily, Virgo.
The worst thing to do in response to anxiety is rush to figure out what to do. This week your assignment is to do your best to get grounded in the present moment, in your circumstances exactly as they are, as well as in your body. By solidifying your relationship to what is, you are better equipped to identify what needs doing, and the best ways to resource yourself so that you can get it done in a healthy and aligned way, Libra.
You may find yourself feeling a little anxious this week and it's important that you slow down enough to get past your assumptions and fixations and to listen to your emotions. You are going through a profound emotional transformation and the potential for you to meaningfully shift away from old ways of being so that you may be more present, healthy, and ultimately happy, is going to take work. For best results, don’t recoil from challenges, Scorpio.
This week you're likely to feel pretty confronted by something that stresses you out. If your strongest impulse is to bail, hide, or shut down, I want to point you away from that. This is a time for change, Sagittarius. It's important that you are intentional about the ways that you approach this, but the best thing to do is let go of what doesn't serve you and of the habits that are leading to your overall stress. Honor your convictions and your emotions this week.
If you've been pushing yourself too hard or if you are dealing with a particularly stressful situation, this week you may find yourself at your wits’ end, struggling to identify the best way to deal with not just your situation, but also your emotions. The key is to identify and stay connected with what's important to you. You're in an excellent position to plant seeds and build bridges, but it will most certainly require resiliency and your continued presence, especially when things are hard, Capricorn.
While you may be feeling defensive or eager to move on, what you actually need to be working on right now is your boundaries. Do the work of identifying what you can take on in a healthy way versus what is not yours to steward. Identify what you can offer to others for now and what you can sustain over the longer term. You can't know the future or how you'll feel later, but you can assess and identify what's right for you in here and now, Aquarius.
This week you're likely to be dealing with some frustrations and the best way to engage with them is by getting grounded first and foremost. Sometimes things don't work out. It may be because they're in a phase of development that is bumpy, or that they need to end altogether. No matter what, it's important that you meet the moment focusing on what is authentic to you instead of trying to figure out what you "should" or "shouldn't" do, Pisces.
