GALORESCOPES ARE BACK, BABY: YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE FOR SEPT. 14–20
The group chat is intense, somebody needs to reread that text before sending it, and the universe would like everyone to stop making permanent decisions based on temporary emotions.
Last week, we brought GALORESCOPES back.
This week, unfortunately, the planets have developed opinions.
We’re starting the week with enough energy to actually get something done, but things get progressively more emotionally complicated from there. Venus and Pluto are stirring up relationship intensity around September 15, Mercury and Saturn make communication feel considerably less fun around the 18th, and somewhere in between, everyone may suddenly decide they need to have a conversation.
You know the conversation.
The one that starts with “Can I ask you something?”
Terrifying.
Anyway, check your Sun, Moon and Rising. Screenshot the part that validates you. Ignore the sentence that feels a little too specific.
It’s GALORESCOPES.
♈ARIES
You have approximately seventeen things happening at once and somehow believe adding an eighteenth will fix it.
It will not.
This week wants you paying attention to the difference between being productive and simply being in motion. Work can actually move forward, but home, relationships and money may require slightly more patience than your usual fine, I’ll just do it myself approach.
YOUR MOVE: Finish something before starting another thing.
YOUR TEXT: “Wait. Let me think about this before I respond.”
Growth!
TAURUS♉
Your phone does not need access to you at all times.
Neither does your job.
Neither does that person who somehow only remembers you exist when they need something.
Communication gets sharper later this week, so read the email twice, maybe don’t send the paragraph, and protect the little pocket of peace you’ve finally created for yourself.
YOUR MOVE: Do Not Disturb.
YOUR TEXT: “I’ll get back to you tomorrow.”
Look at you having boundaries.
GEMINI ♊
You have something to say.
Shocking.
But this week, the difference between saying exactly what you’re thinking and saying what actually needs to be said could save you approximately three unnecessary conversations.
There are opportunities moving around you, particularly with work and money, but impulsive words and impulsive spending are both giving maybe sleep on it.
YOUR MOVE: Draft. Do not send.
YOUR TEXT: “Actually, let me circle back.”
Corporate Gemini has entered the chat.
CANCER ♋
Mars is moving into your sign, which sounds exciting until you realize it may also make you approximately 40% more likely to take something personally.
You’re feeling motivated. Good.
You’re feeling courageous. Great.
You’re about to spend $300 because you had a weird afternoon?
Put the card down.
YOUR MOVE: Use the energy. Lose the reaction.
YOUR TEXT: “I’m going to respond when I’m less annoyed.”
Character development.
LEO ♌
The universe would like to discuss your finances.
I know. Boring.
But before you order something because you’ve decided you “deserve a little treat,” remember that you have apparently been deserving little treats since approximately March.
This week puts money, savings and what you actually value under the spotlight.
YOUR MOVE: Check the account before checkout.
YOUR TEXT: “Do I want this or did I just see someone hotter than me wearing it?”
Important research.
VIRGO ♍
Oh, you’re back.
The Sun moves into Virgo this week, putting some attention back on you, your plans and what exactly you’re doing with the rest of the year.
Naturally, you will respond by creating a list.
Try something radical instead: choose the three things that actually matter and let the other twelve survive without your immediate intervention.
YOUR MOVE: Prioritize, don’t reorganize your entire existence.
YOUR TEXT: “Actually, this can wait.”
Please frame it.
LIBRA ♎
You’re trying to keep everybody happy again.
How’s that going?
This week starts with you feeling visible and relatively in control, but work pressure could creep in later. Your assignment is to not let somebody else’s emergency become the organizing principle of your entire day.
YOUR MOVE: Stop volunteering before anybody asks.
YOUR TEXT: “Unfortunately, I don’t have the bandwidth.”
And guess what?
You don’t.
SCORPIO ♏
You are being suspicious again.
Maybe correctly!
But still.
There’s a lot of emotional intensity floating around this week, and you may notice something somebody else hoped you wouldn’t. Before launching a private investigation from your bedroom, determine whether you actually need the answer.
Sometimes peace is knowing.
Sometimes peace is absolutely none of your business.
YOUR MOVE: Observe first.
YOUR TEXT: “Interesting.”
Nothing scares people more.
SAGITTARIUS ♐
You need something to look forward to.
Book the dinner. Plan the weekend. Start researching the trip you absolutely do not have the PTO approved for yet.
By midweek, the Moon moving into Sagittarius brings a little more optimism and forward motion after the emotional heaviness at the beginning of the week.
YOUR MOVE: Give yourself a future event.
YOUR TEXT: “Wait, should we just go?”
Dangerous.
CAPRICORN ♑
You cannot turn every part of your life into a performance review.
This week supports bigger-picture thinking around work and where you’re headed, but relationships and collaborations require something you famously love:
Patience.
Sorry.
Networking could open doors, but not every conversation needs to immediately become an opportunity.
YOUR MOVE: Talk to somebody without calculating the ROI.
YOUR TEXT: “No agenda. Just checking in.”
Beautiful. Terrifying.
AQUARIUS ♒
People are noticing you.
Please try to behave normally.
Work and visibility are looking interesting this week, but the larger theme is letting yourself be seen without immediately detaching from the situation and pretending you don’t care.
You care.
We know.
YOUR MOVE: Accept the compliment without making a joke.
YOUR TEXT: “Thank you.”
That’s it. Don’t add anything weird.
PISCES ♓
We need to discuss boundaries.
Again.
Relationships and partnerships are asking for more attention this week, particularly around expectations, responsibilities and money. The answer is not automatically accommodating everybody until you quietly resent them.
Say what you need while you’re still capable of saying it nicely.
YOUR MOVE: Clarify before committing.
YOUR TEXT: “What exactly are we agreeing to?”
Look at that.
A contract!
The cosmic weather is a little dramatic this week, but nothing we can’t survive.
Read the email twice.
Don’t buy something because you’re sad.
Don’t send the paragraph because you’re angry.
And if somebody texts “Can we talk?”
Maybe your phone died.
See you next week.
