Weekly Overview

08.19-25.2026

We are in eclipse season, and that means emotions are still running high and they need your attention. Take time to slow down and feel your feelings this week so that you can understand what is a reaction, an emotion, or good old-fashioned disregulation. They are all really important, but they all require different kinds of attention and care from you.

By the end of the week, Venus and Saturn sit opposite each other, making for uncomfortable relationship dynamics and potential confrontations with the people you care about. Don't shy away from necessary conversations. As always, you can learn so much more about the astrology of this week by listening to my show, Ghost of a Podcast, below, or wherever podcasts are heard.

You're likely to be feeling pretty restless this week and that could lead to you acting in ways that upset others if you're not careful. Everyone is in a little bit of a touchy space, and it would be all too easy for you to find yourself on a landmine without realizing it. Slow down and engage with others with as much care as you can this week to avoid unnecessary heartaches and conflict. This may mean that you have to feel more of your feelings than you really want to, which is no fun in the short term, but is packed with long term gain, Aries.

 

Feeling sad is uncomfortable, but when you don't tend to your emotions and allow space for a little bit of grief to work its way through your system, it can turn to anger, defensiveness, and even paranoia if you're not careful. You are not your feelings, but they are yours to steward and navigate. Prioritize working through your mixed emotions so that you can be clearer that you know what you say you do. This will empower you to follow through with the things that are important to you, letting go of the rest.

 

Your fear of letting go is totally understandable, but it's not serving your interests, facilitating progress, but it may be your strongest impulse. This week you're likely to be confronted with deep old patterns activated inside of you, making it scary for you to change. But change is very much on the menu right now. Make sure that you are having emotionally honest and explorative conversations with yourself and the people that you really trust as you struggle to determine what your next best steps are, Twin Star.

Any eclipse season, it makes total sense that you would be dealing with a lot of intense emotions, including uncertainty. The way that you engage with self-doubt is of the utmost importance this week. Instead of obsessing or fixating on what you don't know or worst case scenarios, do your best to explore the mechanics of your situation and the tenderness of your emotions in separate settings. The shortest way to be in contact with your intuition is by separating it from your emotions, Moonchild.

 

You may find yourself in a negative frame of mind this week and that's no fun, but there is a utility to it. Do your best to assess what is and isn't working for you without any guilt trips, blame, or catastrophizing. When you create space to explore without judgment, you may be surprised at what you find. Working with what you have is a healthy and wise approach to either making things better or determining that it's time to either release or invite something else in, Leo. 

 

Burnout is no joke and this week you may be dealing with it, especially if you feel pressed to make major decisions. Astrology of this week is calling you to slow down and get grounded, and depending on your situation, tend to the needs of your body. It is only by knowing yourself and choosing yourself that you can identify what boundaries you need to call and maintain so that you can show up for yourself, the people you care about, and the projects that you are invested in. This is one of those times when less is more, Virgo.

 

Your fears are totally fair, but that doesn't mean they are based on reality. This week it's important for you to do some digging to assess what your concerns are based on. Anticipatory fear requires projection into the future – a place you have not yet been and can't possibly know. Instead of trying to fix problems that aren't actively happening in this moment, get present and prioritize collecting yourself this week. You will have more power and influence in the present moment and with the dynamics that are currently afoot, Libra.

 

You're likely to be feeling pretty frustrated this week as you're confronted with serious concerns about whether things are going to work out the way you want them to and if it's even possible to find a way around some of your problems. The key is to approach your concerns in a value-centered way. Consider whether you are acting in ways that clearly reflect your values. Where you find you aren't, make adjustments. Don't be so focused on the outcome that you check out from the process.

 

When you understand the motivation you're dealing with it becomes easier to avoid centering your anxieties. Don't be in such a rush to take control or make decisions that you allow your anxieties to drive you, Sagittarius. This week you are being challenged to navigate your impulse to make progress from a place of self-awareness versus impatience. Sit with your uncertainties and stories long enough to be able to know what's driving them – the truth or projection. 

 

Some things are changing organically and others are shifting because of choices you've made and actions you've taken. In both cases, it's important to meet the moment with curiosity and a willingness to move things forward instead of with an ironclad agenda. This is a time for nurturing progress instead of powering through and that may need to happen more slowly than your habit would recommend. Prioritize the well-being of your process over the drive to create perfection this week, Capricorn.

 

No matter what's happening for you this week, an important part of what's in your stewardship is your boundaries. It's important that you identify what your capacity is, and what you can and cannot take on, and communicate that with both clarity and kindness. You don't need permission to have your preferences, but you are accountable to the people and projects you're involved with. Release your attachments to what's not yours so that you can have more space for what is, Aquarius.

 

As you grow, you inevitably outgrow parts of yourself that you have become accustomed to. This can be really uncomfortable, and it may be necessary for you to grieve some of these shifts. Projects that used to resonate may no longer; relationships that used to flow may feel stuck. Create room for you to feel whatever you feel about these changes while remaining steadfast to your goals, Pisces.
