Your Weekly Horoscope: September 25 - October 1, 2019
Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Sometimes there’s a fine line between playful teasing and a real conflict, or taking up space and taking over. As you learn how to be yourself in deeper, truer ways, you are likely to step on some toes now and again. It isn’t the end of the world, but it also isn’t going to get better on its own. The way to cope with upsets is to own your mistakes without allowing yourself or anyone else to use it as an opportunity for character assassination.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Consider the big picture, Virgo. In your haste to make sense of what happened yesterday and what tomorrow may bring, you're likely to miss out on right here, right now. If you’re not managing the present with intention you're more likely to slip into trouble this week. The people and situations that you’re sharing this present moment with deserve your time, attention, and care—even if things are kind of hard, my love.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
As you become more yourself you inevitably end up outgrowing people and situations. Sometimes you need to take a step back—and sometimes you need to take more dramatic steps. Whatever you do this week, make sure you’re not acting out of defensiveness. In order to have the life you truly desire you need to develop tolerance for your more difficult emotions so you don’t act from them before you understand what they’re about.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
In the words of David Foster Wallace: “Everything takes time. Bees have to move very fast to stay still.” This week is likely to find you needing more stillness, even as your mind is buzzing in a million directions. In your efforts to use as many of your resources as possible, you run the risk of running yourself down. Find little ways (even tiny ones will do!) of slowing down and remembering where you are, Sagittarius. Breathe, take a moment to reset, and then keep on going, my love.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
The role of fear in your motivations should not be overlooked, Capricorn. It is fear, not hate, that motivates some of the worst behaviors in most people—towards themselves and the world around them. Break your concerns into small, actionable pieces so you can attempt to mobilize on them. You are capable of making great progress this week, but it will require you to first get out of your own way, my love.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
The truth is true whether you want to acknowledge it or not, Aquarius. This week has so much going on astrologically and it’s a lot to keep up with—but also, you don’t have to do anything at all. Align yourself with your truth right now, even if it’s only that you don’t really know what you need or that you need more time. The point is that this isn’t a time for doing as much as it’s a time for catching up with the good, the bad, and the ugly of what is.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
As they say, in order to make an omelette you need to crack a few eggs. This week’s matters are likely to confront you with some unpleasant parts of an overall good development. Give yourself space to sort through your thoughts and feels about whether the cost is worth the gain. Life is rarely without give and take and that’s okay; just make sure that you don’t compromise in ways that compromise you, dear Pisces.

Aries
March 21-April 19
When your insecurities or fears dominate your thinking, it’s hard to resource your toolkit for managing life effectively. You need some perspective, and that can’t be found from within your situation, Aries. Take a step back and spend some quality time reconnecting with yourself; you may need to make some radical changes, but you can’t decide that with confidence if you’re defensive or shut down. Avoid decision making until you’re feeling more stable this week.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
When you have no control the best you can do is let go gracefully. There’s a bigger plan at play, and you can’t race to find the answer or push matters in “the right direction”. Now is a powerful time for being present and accepting whatever it is that you find waiting for you in the here and now. Strive to honour your boundaries by asserting them without attachment; in other words, clarify your position and limits, and then let people and situations reveal themselves to you this week.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Look at the ways that stress and overthinking things is a habit, because like all other habits, it can be broken. This week is an excellent time to take it slow and steady, not only to get things done, but to bring more awareness to patterns that are getting in your way. As soon as you catch yourself caught up in cyclical thinking practice making the choice whenever you can, and for however long you can, to redirect your thoughts to something more neutral, Twin Star.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
Act with intention or be forthcoming with others that you need a minute to gather yourself, Moonchild. Experiment with more temperate ways of coping with what life throws at you this week. Practice different ways of relating to your situations, that allow for more room to breathe, before you respond. It’s time to pace yourself so you can break the cycle of taking on too much and then avoiding your problems because you’re overwhelmed.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
If you're not sure then it’s okay to say nothing, Leo. As tempted as you may be to jump in the ring, this isn’t the time to act without forethought. Regardless of what others are doing or saying, it’s important that you act with integrity; and once you put something out there you can’t take it back. You’re going through a lot but if you’re doubting your instincts it’s likely because you’ve taken on more than you’ve had the space to process. Take the space you need to make sure you're speaking the truth this week.
