Your Weekly Horoscope: September 22 - September 28, 2021
Mercury goes retrograde in Libra on the 26th and it will stay that way until October 23. Prepare yourself for technological annoyances, miscommunications and misunderstandings. But also, embrace the call of the retrograde. This is an invitation to reflect, review and reassess. When Mercury goes retrograde, it’s a meaningful time for growth.
Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
It’s all about boundaries, Libra. This week it’s not only important that you articulate your boundaries, but it’s also important that you revisit them so that you can determine whether they are still authentic for you. Regardless of whether or not others are respecting your boundaries, it’s most important that you are honouring and maintaining them for yourself. Let others show you who they are, and let your boundaries show them who you are.

Scorpio
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This week you may find yourself tempted to obsess on your strongest and most unpleasant thoughts and feelings, but it won’t do you any good. Once you’ve identified whatever is stressing you out, see if you can find three actions that you can take to improve your feelings or conditions. This may be as subtle as distracting yourself because things are out of your control, or as big as meaningfully changing your behaviors. Be accountable to yourself in the best of ways, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This week may find you feeling overwhelmed as you’re reeling from having taken on too much, or worse, having had too much thrust upon you. Wherever you’re at, what’s most important is how you approach and engage with your circumstances. You may need to try something new, explore your options or ask for help. These are all highly effective approaches to dealing with overwhelming feelings and improving your life, Sagittarius.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Being responsible to others’ needs is not the same as placing them above your own. This week you may find yourself sorting through mixed messages and difficult decisions. Sometimes there is no perfect answer, and this is exactly when it’s best to centre authenticity and integrity in your decision making. Do the best that you can for all involved, even if it requires compromise or a slower pace of progress than you would prefer.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
This week the antidote to your anxieties is TLC, which is tender loving care for the uninitiated. Don’t try to force yourself to feel any way that you don’t, but also don’t imagine that your difficult internal stage is unmovable or irretractable. Seek to support yourself through hard times, whether that means shifting your attitudes, asking for help or simply slowing down. You don’t need to add more to your plate, what you need is to reorient yourself so that you can have a more humane and empathetic relationship to whatever it is that you’re going through.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
It’s time to sort some things out in your relationships, Pisces. Whether it’s time to make amends, get honest about problems that have been festering or simply spending time with the people you care for the most, prioritize showing up. You don’t need to have all the answers or even know the perfect thing to say. Just be real, even if that requires being brave and a little awkward. You and your relationships deserve it.

Aries
March 21-April 19
In order to hold onto, and centre what is most important to you, you must let go of distractions and old habits and connections that are holding you back. This week is likely to confront you with the very difficult emotions that accompany realizing you need to let go of something that you’ve identified with. Identity, like most things, is meant to change over time. Prioritize authenticity over ease, Aries.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
Instead of looking for who to blame or even how you got here, take time this week to slow down and gather your energy. Once you can connect to this present moment and your body within it, you will have access to your wisest instincts instead of your most defensive ones. You don’t have anything to prove. Align your actions, motivation and intentions, and you can’t go wrong, Taurus. If you run into any roadblocks, at least you’ll have come by them honestly.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
You don’t have enough details or information to understand the big picture and unfortunately that may feel pretty demoralizing this week. But just because you don’t have the answers yet, doesn’t mean that when you do have them, they’ll be bad. Let go of your attachment to what you think the future needs to look like and clarify what you want your present to be, twin star. The best way to improve your future is to be here, now, my easily distractible friend.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
In order for your life to change, you must change. Approach your goals and struggles with kindness and empathy, moonchild. You’re likely to be dealing with things simply not being where you wish they were. You don’t need all the answers and you don’t need a fix. What you need is to listen to your emotions and your intuition more effectively, which takes more care and patience than you’ve been giving yourself. Subtle adjustments will have a big impact this week.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
When you’re feeling good it’s easy to imagine that those feelings will last forever. This week, however, it’s a good time for you to conserve your energy. You may be tempted to start something new and while this isn’t necessarily a bad time for that, it isn’t wise to be over ambitious either. Don’t forget to leave room in your life for the unpredictable, for some fun and for rest. Everything that flows is likely to also ebb, sweet Leo.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You may find that you’re feeling restless or impatient to make progress, and that’s totally understandable. The problem is that your impatience is a fixation on what you don’t have and your restlessness is a distraction from cultivating clarity about what you do. Do the uncomfortable emotional work of getting present and slowly, but certainly move through all the steps in front of you. You don’t need to get there quickly, you only need to travel the path in a healthy and sustainable way, my perfectionistic friend.
