Weekly Horoscopes September Week 2
After the star-studded events of August, it’s a fairly quiet week in the cosmos as earth girl Virgo planets settle into their self-contained groove. This mutable earth sign is all about refining our rhythm, and it’s a perfect week for figuring out just what kind of beat feels best in your beautiful body. This goes for everything from diet and workout, to the melody and beat of your relationships and power moves. This week, think of your life as a song you want to get down to; do you want to feel the bittersweet maturity and hard-earned living of a country ballad river cruise? The punch and verve of neon, Miami-infused tropical house? A wedding anthem conga line? Start with your desired jam, and then let your feet simply follow.
On Tuesday, Venus kisses Saturn in a trine aspect, and this smooch smacks of durational love rather than seven minutes in heaven. Tap into your enduring pleasure centers, and the the ways that doing the “hard” work can feel oh so delicious. It’s a tootsie pop aspect for committing to the work of counting how many licks it takes to get to the center. Enjoy the sensation of building self-sufficiency and trust in your competence along the way. The end of your journey will undoubtedly taste all the sweeter for it.
The week finishes out with Venus hugging up on the Moon’s North Node, and it’s prime time to magnetize exactly what we crave into our open arms, and to use that process to raise the vibration ever higher. You’ve got a whole lot to be grateful for, astro babes. Look around you, and let exactly what you love take up the most space. Let it expand like one of those kiddie bathtub dinosaur sponge capsules. Remember that whatever you let glow, grows. Plump up the jams.

Rallying Cry:
My only job is to let my dreamboat ride the tide.
Power Moves:
You’ve been learning a lot about “undoing” lately, Virgo, and this week finds you really releasing the controls without feeling like you’re shirking any responsibilities. With Venus in your 12th house of surrender, let love run the household from the basement. Think of it like a little suitcase you’ve brought in from a past life and examine how you’ve been handling your pleasure center. What have you been denying yourself lately? Why are you so afraid to let this live? With Saturn touching off your house of roots and belonging, there are some fears firing this week around duty and discipline. Narratives you’ve inherited from parents, bosses, culture, telling you to stay in your place and defining exactly the parameters of that place. And while it’s not a super fiery week of busting the walls wide open, it’s a moment to let some little lovebug termites start slowly dissolving the constrictions that are keeping you down. Let it be a gingerbread house this week, Virgo. Snack on the sweetness as you watch the cookies crumble.

Rallying Cry:
Future scheming can feel like party planning.
Power Moves:
When you start envisioning where you want to go from here, Libra, it can sometimes fill your body and soul with tightness. Your mind starts to work on overdrive, creating contingency plans for every possible mix-up, laying the appropriate clothes out for every possible scenario. You start to harden around a projected image of yourself in some future moment. Where you should be. How you should look. But this week, with pleasure babe Venus in your 11th house of futurism, make it a senior prom kind of party planning. Pick a theme for your future life and then dress yourself and your space up accordingly. Revel in this process. Infuse some magic into your vision. With Saturn hanging in your 3rd house of communication and perception, it can feel like things are getting heavy duty. That you have to decide it all right the hell now. Instead, make like a homecoming queen. Go ahead and prepare your acceptance speech. But know in your bones that you’ll be absolutely perfect no matter what happens. That your crown will always catch the light just so. Libra, you look wonderful tonight.

Rallying Cry:
My empire is built on pure desire.
Power Moves:
Let love win this week, Scorpio. This is no easy feat for an astro babe built for endurance and embattled survival. But this week finds Venus lighting up the midheaven of your chart and the energy that sits up there on top is the icing on our public wedding cake. Whatever graces the midheaven shows us how we want the world to see us, our public facing values. And we already know what a badass you are Scorpio so instead, let your tenderness shine. Let it all be just a little bit easier. With Saturn touching into your 2nd house of worth, there could be scarcity fears. Fears that enjoying “too much” will bring on an inevitable fall from grace. That if you want too much, or get too much, it will all be taken away. You’re asked to face this fear head on this week and want what you want anyway. And simply enjoy what’s in your palms and in your heart and let that icing be pure buttercream, Scorpio. Let the so-called superficial be an absolutely necessary ingredient and sink your teeth right on in there. Lick your chops and go for seconds.

Rallying Cry:
Top-down wilding returns me to myself.
Power Moves:
With pure pleasure seeker Venus touching into your natural 9th house of exploratory adventuring, it’s a saddleless week for you to roam through your life without anything but the lovely feel. And while task master Saturn is still inhabiting your 1st house of identity expression, some of this painstaking work of recreating yourself can soften just a bit. You’ve sloughed off the extraneous layers. You’ve done the deep closet clean out. And now, you’re ready to ride once again. You can even forgot about yourself a little bit this week. Take a break from any microscopic examination of your motivations and reputation. Get out far beyond yourself and let that lead you back to the center. Think of it as a getaway week for you to try on a new language and identity. It’s a week to let your self-concept expand so wide that you can see for miles, all the way back to the self who never left you. The parts of you that don’t need to be changed. Let the world change around you while you stand firmly at the center. You’ve earned your place as your own pillar.

Rallying Cry:
Following my instincts re-ups my trust in life.
Power Moves:
With your rep as a striving, boardroom boss babe, sometimes it’s easy to forget that you’re actually an earthy being and that so much of your knowledge, and pleasure, in this life comes through your body. With Venus hanging in your 8th house of gut instincts and past patterning, it’s a week to dig back into this realm and see what happens when decision-making doesn’t happen from your head. The head can be the enemy of what’s real for you sometimes. It’s the place you can default to when you’re attempting to avoid the pain. To intellectualize the emo out of existence. With your ruler, Saturn, hanging in your 12th house of surrender, you’re being asked to give up your belief that life is fundamentally unfair, or that you won’t get what you truly want. What would it mean to trust that life is on your side, goat gal? That the sweet breeze is at your back as you ascend the mountain, even if the climb is tough and necessitates every last muscle you’ve got? There’s a cozy, comfy ski lodge awaiting you at the top, Capricorn. Lay out your lambskin booties and let the hot chocolate flow.

Rallying Cry:
Supporting others’ visions helps grow my own dream garden.
Power Moves:
With Venus gracing your 7th house of relating, this week takes some of the focus off self-mastery and lets you lovingly reach out to partners and friends. Get inspired by the companions at your life’s dinner table. Banish jealousy or envy and see exactly what you love about these people who surround you. Even imagine your so-called enemies as extensions of yourself. They’re sweet teachers who are here to show you something valuable about your own process. Venerate all these beings who’ve come into this world with you as gods and goddesses. Know that you’ve made a pact to arrive her with them. That you’ve decided, on a soul level, to do this work together. With Saturn hanging in your natural 11th house of far-flung futurism, it can feel like you’ve got to get real right now about exactly what you want the future you to look like. But let some air into this space by exposing yourself to a different point of view. While you’re the zodiac sign most given over to eccentric notions, sometimes you forget that there are new ways of being even closer to home. Develop a psychedelic vision of what’s close at hand and disappear down the rabbit hole. Let that loving gaze across the table at your companions birth brand new worlds.

Rallying Cry:
Falling in love with the hard work lets me control my destiny.
Power Moves:
After last week’s Full Moon in your sign, sea siren, a lot of old matter has washed ashore. And chances are, you’ve been really feeling into it all with characteristically emo flair. And while this week isn’t asking you to shut down all those touchy feelers completely, it is asking you to examine what exactly you’ve been learning from your past pain. With Venus sitting in your house of analysis and refinement, you can assess precisely what you’ve caught in the net of deep-diving and healing. Some of it is gorgeous sea glass, Pisces. And some of it is old detritus that’s better left for dead. Sometimes, you’ve got a tendency to drift through your life without a clear plan of attack. This quality lets you remain accepting and judgement free. But this week, with world builder Saturn sitting on top of your chart, you’re being asked to remain as open to the mysteries of down and dirty work as you are to more traditionally dreamy pursuits. Rise to the occasion, Pisces. Ride the crest of your own wave.

Rallying Cry:
Romance can fully live when I deliver exactly what’s asked of me.
Power Moves:
This is it, firebrand babycakes. After so much recent soul work on the topic of aligned action, measured aggression, and the question of how to ground your wildest visions in the “real” world, this is the week where it can all start to really move with ease. Venus is lighting up your 5th house romantic playground, and aspected by Saturn in the 9th house of adventurous unfolding, you’re finally able to fully mix your fire and earth, and build something worthy of your indomitable spirit. You’re a potter at the wheel, Aries, and you can build your vessel strong and solid and drink from your own cup at the same time. It’s a kind of carnival week for you. There are rules. There are limits to how many points you can accrue and what the prizes are. But within these, you can still win the biggest, pinkest stuffed unicorn of them all. Let the limits feel joyful. Let them teach you about just what the world needs from you. Let them help you show up for what you’re really here to bring and to delight in the sensation of knowing exactly what’s asked of you. And then roll the dice, shoot your water gun, slam dunk it. Ride all the way to the top of the ferris wheel and gaze upon the kingdom that’s not yours alone, but that you’ve helped create. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Rallying Cry:
Loving exactly what I’ve got cracks my world wide open.
PowerMoves:
It’s gratitude list time, butterfly babe. With Venus in your natural 3rd house of curious exploration, turn the flashlight on and get to investigating your local landscape. Take a look out over this familiar world and see it with brand new eyes. If you look at something long enough, Gemini, its energy shifts, and this is the perfect week for playing with your perception. Lose track of the names of things. Notice where the same old story keeps playing in your head and interrupt it. Remix it. Work your mash-up DJ magic. With Saturn hanging in your 7th house of partnership, it could feel like authority figures are trying to limit you from the outside in. See these brushes with the law as love taps that remind you that you don’t have to always want more than you’ve got. This isn’t about dreaming too small, or stifling your true song. It’s about understanding that there’s a whole glorious landscape that already surrounds you, and that wants your attention and tending. Be present for it, Gemini. Because in another second, it will change again.

Rallying Cry:
Remembering my worth motivates body care.
Power Moves:
What makes you feel like solid gold, Cancer? With pleasure-seeker Venus in your 2nd house of 24-karat value, it’s a week for opening up your jewel box, and returning to the sensations that remind you of your worth. Maybe these are prized relationships you’re proud of, or creative accomplishments, or even just the gorgeous way you’ve designed your bedroom. Let it all be meaningful and worthy of celebration. Let whatever straightforward act of beauty you see remind you that you merit the witnessing of it. You deserve to see the sunrise. You deserve to sit down at your own table with a delicious meal. As Saturn activates your 6th house of habits and daily ritual, you can use this feeling of worth to ignite body care practices that don’t have to feel like arduous battles to create a “better” you. Knowing that you deserve to be here, and re-upping your faith in showing up, will create natural channels that support your body. Get excited about living for a long time, Cancer. And then naturally move towards the treats that will support the long-haul feast. We want you to stick around and relish every last shimmering sensation.

Rallying Cry:
Wearing my heart on my sleeve fuels creative expression.
Power Moves:
You’ve been getting schooled in some difficult, earthbound lessons lately little love cat, and with Saturn transiting your 5th house of creative expression, it can sometimes feel like your usual Xmas bundle of gifts for the world is depleted. Get curious about that feeling of nothing left to give. Really feel into what you perceive as a barren space. And then tell that emptiness to blow right on into the ether, and start to fill her on up, Leo. With Venus in your 1st house of identity expression, it’s time to refind your elf mojo and get to baking some sprinkle cookies. Return to the basics. Look at the butter and eggs you’ve already got in the pantry (or some alternatives if you’re a vegan kitty). Remember exactly what you love about yourself. And then see how that’s reflected in the world that surrounds you. Notice how a stranger lights up when you give them a compliment. Or a friend brushes up close to you, just to be near to you. Your creative verve and vigor comes from showing your true colors. It’s the only job we’re asking you to do and we know we can trust you when you don’t hold anything. So get back to this palette and let em shine. Cause it’s the reason we love you.
