Weekly Horoscopes September 3-9
Get ready for the remix, astro babes. This week in the cosmos is brought to you by the prismatic stylings of winged butterfly Mercury. The skies are streaked with rainbow and ripe for swapping old storylines in favor of shiny new choose-your-own-adventures.
The week opens with the Gemini Waning Moon, and while the zodiac’s buzzy telephone line is usually ready for all the social sharing, in the soft-lit waning position, this is more solo slumber party than dancing in the streets. It’s a perfect moment for soothing overtaxed nervous systems, and savoring the homegrown juicy fruits you can give yourself without having to wait for external validation.
With Mercury shifting gears from Leo into Virgo mid week, and building towards Sunday’s Virgo New Moon, we’re reminded that every surface of our body is an opportunity for shifting narratives, and that we can always swap self-critique for the sense that we’re all just emotional apprentices, adapting and integrating new nuggets in every holographic moment. What could you learn from the slightest breeze on your skin? How could a taste or touch or sound change how you view a stale situation? Open the windows wide and let the whole wide world be your Life 101...

Magic Words: Magic gets made by expanding the edges.
Power Moves: This week marks a key moment in your birthday season, as your ruler, Mercury, and the New Moon, light up your channels of self-expression. All the solid ground you’ve created and covered provides a bed of roses to launch your sparkles into the stratosphere. Start by pushing the comfy edges just a little bit. Speaking up when you feel yourself getting silenced. Going for the saturated red shade instead of the dusty pink. There are micromovements you can make to choose more carnal expression. Connect to your bloodstream this week, and let yourself flush and blush with the feeling of coming more alive.

Magic Words: Everything is in exactly the right place.
Power Moves: What if you could truly believe in a grand design, sweet Libra? This week’s energy goes far beyond the old adage that “everything happens for a reason.” As Virgo planets light up your Pisces-ruled zone, this is about trusting in something way beyond reason. There’s a much larger unfolding happening around you, and it’s shielding you completely, if you simply get out of the way and let yourself be held. Let yourself do less and less, Libra, as you tuck into your cloud blanket and learn to believe that you’re exactly where you need to be.

Magic Words: When I let go of the endgame, I can rise to meet the moment.
Power Moves: As Virgo planets power up your Aquarius-ruled, neon futurism zone, opportunities and openings are electrically-lit, Scorpio. If you loosen up the locked-down notions of outcomes, endgames, how you’re “supposed” to behave, or how much you’re supposed to take on, you can simply rise to meet whatever is coming to you, moment by moment. Treat it like a rotating sushi counter, and let the tasties slide on by, sampling what looks nutritious and zingy, and knowing that it will all keep coming around without you having to scramble to grab it.

Magic Words: Choosing where to put my power, powers up my most mature mojo.
Power Moves: You’ve been in a mastery with how to use your fuel lately, Wild Pony, and this week marks a fresh new start in your Capricorn-ruled land of boardroom self-sufficiency and outback survival. With Mars now direct, the professional, creative, and personal libido is flowing, and the question becomes one of powerful choice. Where does your energy leak and languish on projects and partnerships that take more sweat than they provide sweetness? Exercise a precious pause this week, Sag, before you unleash your red hots on the ready world.

Magic Words: Choosing words with clarity is an act of courage.
Power Moves: Sometimes you underestimate the powerful containers you can create for others, dear Cappy. With Virgo energy powering up your Sagittarius-ruled zone of grand teachings, this week finds you ready to share as a profound act of service. This doesn’t have to feel epic. It could be as simple as bringing something unsaid between friends to the surface. Or imparting a little of your heart’s tenderness to soften a stuck situation. Whatever it is, center your words deep inside, and then bring them up and out with complete confidence. You’re a heartbeat professor, Cappy. Step up to the podium.

Magic Words: Making a feast of my feelings helps me find release.
Power Moves: When is the last time you’ve celebrated the full-range of your humanness, Aquarius? This week’s Virgo magic rests in your Scorpio-ruled zone of radical forgiveness and carnal impulses, and there’s a profound opportunity to blend self-acceptance and self-celebration into a delicious feast. What do you feel like you need to “tame” in yourself? What sticky bits do you keep pushing under the carpet? This week is your chance to see them all clearly, in the light of day, but with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgement.

Magic Words: My shimmering presence ignites my partnerships.
Power Moves: With potent Virgo energy dancing into your Libra-ruled zone of mirror balls and prom partnerships, it’s a sumptuous week for falling back in love with the one you’re already with, dear Pisces. And this starts with your own essence. When is the last time you’ve taken a voyage into your secret places? Your grottos and lagoons and luscious vineyards? How can you behold yourself in beauty and then let your relationships simply be an outgrowth of the overgrown flowered vines that are already pouring and bursting from your own inside out? Believe in your ripe, fertile magic, Pisces. Everything starts there.

Magic Words: There is healing happening far beneath the surface.
Power Moves: With Virgo energies illuminating your zone of subtle shifts and embodied adjustments, it’s a vitamin integration week for you, Aries. This means letting things form and fall away of their own accord, and trusting that there’s “work” happening on every level, much of which you won’t be able to necessarily discern by looking at the usual forms of labor. You’re initiating a new cycle of being with yourself that softens the self-critique and endless refinement and effort. While this might not feel like the usual Olympic-style triumph you’re used to, open yourself wide to the notion of a fresh kind of winning.

Magic Words: There is no impulse under the sun that’s inherently dark.
Power Moves: With discerning Virgo energy illuminating your Leo-ruled zone of sun-kissed self celebration, there’s a convo unfolding between your urges and your running narrative about what those mean. Maybe you’re finding yourself “back” in some situation or behavioral groove, and critiquing yourself for losing ground or screwing up. Or you’re trying relentlessly to quit something or someone, and layering another level of pain by chastising yourself for not moving on already. Release yourself from this notion of linear progress or decline, Taurus, and trust into the greater spiral of feeling cycles that holds space for every impulse without assessment.

Magic Words: Leaning into softness is a secret source of strength.
Power Moves: As the Waning moon makes magic in your sign, and Virgo planets drift through your emotionally-rooted, seashell home zone, it’s a week for fluffing your featherbed, Gemini. What do you no longer want to carry? There’s an opportunity for some serious discernment right now, and this may bring up pangs of FOMO. But this process of aligning more deeply to where you want to place your energy simply cannot end with you missing out on anything. Instead, your sweet attention will be wholly utilized and dazzled by the people and things that bring you most alive. Savor the nectar of a singular flower that just tastes good, baby butterfly.

Magic Words: There is more than enough time for every feeling to find its way.
Power Moves: As one of the most emo babes on the astro block, you’re in a lifelong learning with how to create solid containers for all your fluctuations. This week’s Mercurial energy is lighting up your nervous system and bringing all the touchy feelies to the surface on speed dial. And yet, the cosmos’ infusion of air and earth energy to mix with your water is creating both a breezier and more rooted opportunity to handle your waves. Commit to sitting with the rise and fall, the ebb and flow, and watch with kaleidoscopic curiosity as your emotions take on new shapes on costumes.

Magic Words: I only fill up on what lights me up.
Power Moves: Now that we’re firmly in Virgo season, you’ve had the chance to wave your weepy goodbyes to your glitter kitten birthday month and start harnessing some of the secret magic of mutable earth. This means cutting away, sloughing off, and streamlining your soul’s beauty routine so you can pulsate in your full heat exactly where it’s most appreciated. With Virgo planets dancing through your Taurus-ruled zone of sumptuous self-worth, this week offers you the opportunity to really let what continues to not meet your wildest hopes and dreams simply swim away from you, so you can fluff and buff the projects and people who match your fiery focus completely.
