Weekly Overview

09.16-22.2026

The effects of the Mercury opposition to Saturn, a transit that will be exact on Friday the 18th, are likely to make you feel a little lonely, kick up depressive thoughts, and bring your attention to scarcity issues. No fun! Don't allow yourself to get too down in the dumps - avoid hanging out with people that make you feel bad about yourself and making major decisions, and this is not a great time for first dates. Luckily, on the 21st, there is an exact sextile between Mercury and Jupiter that is likely to shift your frame of mind to the more positive. The best way to navigate these two transits is to realistically assess what is possible, and to explore potential of relationships, plans, and situations this week. To find out what it all means for your sign, read your horoscope below. And to get more details about the astrology of this week, listen to my astrology and advice show, Ghost of a Podcast, below or wherever podcasts are heard.

March 21 - April 19 April 20 – May 20 May 21 – June 21 June 22 – July 22 July 23 – August 22 August 23 – September 22 September 23 – October 22 October 23 – November 21 November 22 – December 21 December 22 – January 19 January 20 – February 18 February 19 – March 20

This week you may find yourself embroiled in some sticky communication breakdowns. You may feel inspired to prove yourself, defend yourself, or get ahead of what you perceive to be interpersonal red flags. If you're going to beef with someone, make sure that you're clear about your motives first and foremost. You may be able to assert yourself and navigate your rights and needs, or you may just be starting drama with someone without the potential for resolution. Slow down and check in with what's underneath your impulses, Aries.

There are very real limitations or problems inside your relationships, and that's just a normal part of life. This week you may be feeling particularly bummed about those limitations. Or you might find yourself wanting to fix or totally skip over and escape problems that exist between you and others. The reality is that things are a little tender and uncomfortable right now, and it's important that you explore the healthiest way you can engage with the realities that you are living with.

Obsessive thinking and negative fixations are not just bad for your mental health, but they can lead you towards power struggles with people and situations that objectively make your life less awesome. This week it's important that you slow down, make sure that your thinking is fixated on things that are actually important to you, and that you are approaching matters constructively instead of obsessively, Twin Star.

 

Sometimes the most effective way to mobilize is by pulling back and doing less. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but if you are in too much of a rush to figure things out or prove yourself, you will likely find yourself acting in ways that reflect your biggest fears and insecurities instead of your goals and actual needs. This week your assignment is to identify what your true goals and needs are. Prioritize exploring instead of solidifying, Moonchild.

 

As you face major change and growth, you are going to run up against the need for better boundaries, Leo. Taking a collaborative and open-minded approach to the things you care about is the best approach to whatever comes up for you this week. You don't need to get it perfect to be on the right path. Let go of whatever drive you have to prove yourself and just focus on aligning with what's most authentic for where you're at, your responsibilities, and your desires this week.

 

You may want to push yourself pretty hard or go it alone, but this week your best move is to hang back and listen. Allow people in situations to reveal themselves to you without being in such a rush to decide what it means. Otherwise, you're likely to make assumptions and miss a really great opportunity to build something that truly feeds you. Make collaboration, slow building, and authenticity your guiding light, Virgo.

 

The call is coming from inside of the house, Libra. This week you are being challenged to do less on the outside and tend more to your insides. Instead of trying to "fix" things, strive to figure out your own emotions – your needs, desires, and blocks. By doing this, you can better assess what needs changing, what can be left alone, and what needs to go altogether. Don’t be shy about asking for help if you need it, but ultimately this is the time to figure out what you need for you.

 

It's hard to trust your intuition when you don't have a habit of sitting with it. This week you are likely to be feeling anxious to move to the next playing level, but things are not progressing as quickly as you would like. Instead of trying to force change, do your best to hang out the discomfort of this moment. You are being tasked with the work of sitting in your discomfort without looking to assign blame to yourself or others. Stay with it, Scorpio.

It's really hard to sit with grief and emotional blockages, but that's exactly what your assignment is this week. Your emotions don't always have to be pleasant for them to have a lesson to teach you. In fact, if you have farmed out too much of your own internal knowing and have been looking outside of yourself for answers for too long, this week you're likely to be experiencing a major crash. Self-abandonment never leads to self-care, Sagittarius.

 

The decisions you make now truly need to be a reflection of your values, otherwise you won't be happy with what comes next. Don't be in such a rush to create things and results that you skip the very important process of assessing your needs and limitations. Meaningful reflection looks like you're doing nothing on the outside, but on the inside it is essential work. Prioritize the way things are over the way they appear to others this week, Capricorn.

You may find yourself in a serious rush to get out of the pickle you're in, but rushing is what got you into this mess. Take your time as you explore not only your needs, but the boundaries of your capacity. If you allow yourself to be motivated by avoidance and anxiety, you will unintentionally generate more of the circumstances that made you feel anxious to begin with. Less is more this week, Aquarius.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed this week, your assignment is to meet yourself with grounded energy, Pisces. You likely know that something needs to change, but feel uncertain about what that is, or how to do it. It's important that you identify the things that are most important to you and how you feel should be high on that list. Prioritize your emotional well-being as you explore your options and the best possible approach available to you at this time.
