Weekly Overview

08.26-09.01.2026

 

The big news this week is that on the 27th there will be a powerful and unpredictable lunar eclipse in super sensitive Pisces. You are likely to be feeling anxious, emotional, super sleepy, or even having trouble with sleep. The eclipse is asking you to return to yourself, to get present with your emotions, and to honor your needs for healthy boundaries to support your energetic, mental, and emotional health and well-being. Your boundaries are yours to identify and uphold, so this is really an inside job. After the eclipse, the astrology keeps coming! There will be challenging transit to Uranus, creating unpredictable and nervy energy, and then to start off September a challenge between Mars and Saturn that picks up frustrations and disappointments. You can't control what happens to you, but you can be intentional about how you engage with the feelings and thoughts they provoke inside of you. As always, you can listen to my astrology show, Ghost of a Podcast, below or wherever podcasts are heard. If you prefer to read your astrology, you can find the transcript right here. To learn what it all means for your zodiac sign, read your horoscope below.

You might find yourself really struggling with self-esteem this week and it's important to ask yourself if it is because you can't trust yourself or maybe because you're just really tired. Chances are high that you have not been getting enough rest. If that is the case, this is your sign to rectify that. Tap into your agency and make choices that support you living the life you truly want to live, Aries.

The more connected you are to yourself and clear about your value system, the better equipped you'll be to navigate this sticky time. You may be tempted to rush to find solutions or to ruminate on problems in order to find a way around them, but neither of those approaches will serve you well this week. Instead, sit with yourself and ask yourself some really basic questions about your assumptions, your values, and your most pressing needs at this time, Taurus.

 

This isn't a great time for making plans or proclamations, Twin Star. Instead, you're being challenged to sit with uncertainty for a bit longer than you're comfortable with. It might sound like a thankless task, but in fact, there's so much to learn from the simple act of letting your thoughts and feelings settle so that you can listen to what's important instead of your strongest feelings and your loudest habits.

 

This week you may need to make peace with something or someone that is not behaving the way you wish they were. Letting go of your attachment to how you wish things were or how you expected them to be is an important practice because it helps to center you in the here and now – the place where you have the most power and agency. Your assignment is to take responsibility for yourself. What you do, how you do it, what you focus on, and why, are all in your stewardship, sweet Moonchild.

 

You're moving through some deep and meaningful emotional terrain, and it is not meant to be easy but that doesn't mean it's bad or something to fear. Your defenses aren't needed – what's needed this week is internal clarity. Clarify what you truly believe, what you wish to invest in, and the limitations that are real in this moment around your capacity. The better you know yourself the easier it will be to assess what things are in alignment for you and to what extent. You may be able to do it all, but not all at once, Leo.

 

The lunar eclipse on the 27th is likely to stir up some grief inside of you, and you're not meant to intellectualize it or treat it as a problem to be solved. Instead, strive to experience your emotions and treat yourself as you would a good friend. Sometimes the quickest way out is through. When you're feeling sad or bad, that's hard to trust, but it's still your best move this week. You don't need a reason why or a plan. Just feel your feelings, Virgo.

 

If you're feeling overwhelmed or burnt out, it's pretty much right on time, Libra. Instead of struggling against your limitations or beating yourself up for having them, this is a really powerful time to notice what you want. Every time you say no to something, it's to protect your capacity to say yes to another thing. Let go of your drive to do it all, all at once, and embrace your priorities as an act of self-love, even if it feels uncomfortable to do so this week.

 

The more honest you can be with yourself, the better, Scorpio. This week you are being challenged to sit with the truth, whether it's easy, uncomfortable, or just plain makes you sad. This is not a time for trying to control your feelings or even what happens next.  Instead acknowledge what is present and true in the here and now, nurturing your resolve to meet the moment with patience and care.

 

The Lunar eclipse on the 27th is likely to kick up some big anxious feelings, unless you're able to slow down and ground into this very moment. Explore what you're feeling, needing, and wanting, and whether or not it's okay to be at that place. You may find that you are struggling with yourself and in need of some acceptance. It's okay to accept that things are not where you wish they were or that you're confused. Treat yourself with love, Sagittarius.

 

If you're too quick to turn your feelings into actions or your insights into plans, you are unlikely to center what makes you happy, and instead find yourself in a consistent state of reactivity that has you on your back foot. Be intentional about what you prioritize this week as the eclipse is trying to get you to center the beat of your heart over your impulses or anxiety-fueled reactions, Capricorn.

 

This week your capacity to experience vulnerability and stay present is being tested. Feeling vulnerable, tender, and emo doesn't mean that things are wrong or even precarious. These feelings are part of being a human and can lead you towards your truth and to inhabiting your personal strength. Resist the urge to get defensive or give in to paranoid thinking out of insecurity, Aquarius. 

 

The lunar eclipse in your sign is likely to kick up some pretty perfectionistic thinking inside of you, which in turn is likely to provoke anxiety and other stresses. Your assignment is to stay connected to yourself, even when you're feeling out of whack. The practice of seeking equilibrium is not one intended to achieve perfection, but instead one intended to help you stay in healthy and loving conversation with yourself.
