Your Zodiac Sign’s Weekly Horoscope

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Aries, there’s tension in creating the life you want to live. When you feel that tension this week, Aries, let your brave heart guide you fearlessly into the underworld. You’re able to articulate, analyze, and dive deep into the shadows around your psyche. But what do you do with that information? What creatures live in the recesses of your mind that you’re afraid to look at? Where are you able to be brave for others and not yourself? This is a week to use art, play, and pleasure as processing tools. The New Moon on Saturday is a moment to iterate into a new cycle of relationship with yourself and your partner or beloved. When you show up fearlessly authentic, you magnetically attract relationships rooted in your values.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Keep an eye on your home and family this month, Taurus. As your relationships, both romantic and business, go into review, there’s tension building at home. You go all in with your relationships, but the tension at home is asking you to make sure you’re still honoring the sacred boundaries of your selfhood. Your home is truly where your heart is, but you can’t lose yourself in your close relationships and expect to be able to maintain the warmth you so desire at home. There’s a balancing act at work with the New Moon on Saturday. The daily delicate balancing act of caring for home, self, and work is taking your focus. Much like a master juggler, do you know exactly how many balls you can juggle at once with a sustainable pace? What happens when everything drops? Don’t be afraid to ask for help!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Sometimes, Gemini, you decide you have to change all your daily habits overnight. You may have been feeling the urge to completely revamp your self-care and wellness routines building inside like an itch you can’t quite reach. If you do decide this is the week to be a brand-new you, take a beat and a breath to make an action plan. Transforming yourself is an alchemical process of precise measurements, routines, and dedication. Much like the Sorcerer’s Apprentice enchanting the brooms to do his work for him, be wary of wellness practices that make magical promises. The New Moon on Saturday highlights your need to play, create, and laugh with other people. Let yourself take a night off from your butterfly chrysalis weaving to let off some steam on the dance floor with your besties.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The New Moon on Saturday is a moment of respite from the world, Cancer. Your career and legacy, sweet Cancer, have gone through trials and illusions this year. The growth, faith, and hard work you put into the world will be rewarded. But if you aren’t quite seeing the fruits of your labors yet, don’t despair. Take this week to really feel yourself in all of your oceanic glory. Much like the sea, you contain depths and mysteries only the bravest can plumb. You approach pleasure and creation with an intensity only rivaled by the hidden realms of the deepest sea trenches, where the creatures are alien and free-floating in the dark. Let yourself rest in the comfort you find in umbral gloam, knowing you’re recharging to blaze back out into the world.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Leo, summer 2026 has gone down in your personal history as one of those times you won’t forget. As you’ve explored, expanded, and pushed the limits of who you are, what authenticity means for you and how to show up as your full self, you’re being asked to actually put into action the knowledge you’ve gained. If your head and feet aren’t aligned, you won’t move at all. The New Moon on Saturday is bringing an energy of walking the talk you talk. We’re a collage of everyone we’ve ever loved and ever known. As you renew your commitment to being your best and brightest self, how can you honor those who’ve helped you along the way? Think of who taught you to cook, to do your makeup, to parallel park. Each relationship has given you a small gift or talent. Remember, no one is truly alone.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

This is the time to really dive into intense research rabbit holes, deep conversations, and probing detective work about the way you work, Virgo. Use your precise nature to sift through all the data points, whether you’re researching something dear to your heart or exploring your psyche, as you move through this week. You’re the type of intellectual who needs to work with your hands and your mind in tandem, so let your multitasking superpower guide you. The New Moon is in the money-making part of your chart on Saturday. This could be a time to do some deep manifestation work with prosperity. Just know that any intentions you set now will take time, dedication, and hard work to manifest.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Autumn, aka Libra season, is a time of balancing light and dark, a topic you’re intimately familiar with. Your values and ability to resource yourself (either with literal money or with more abstract ideas of self-esteem, confidence, self-empowerment) are being investigated. You may find yourself turning your mind towards the how and why you do what you do, especially when it comes to making money. This is a great time to review your accounts for any tricky subscriptions you forgot to cancel. As you get closer to the New Moon on Saturday, Libra, you may be asked to modulate boundaries or renegotiate what boundaries your desires are desiring. Desire can be a nebulous thing, hard to speak about and place words around, and so boundaries are useful tools to help you clarify what exactly it is you’re wanting.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Scorpio, the tension between your vitality and how much of yourself you put into your public image and career is coming to a head. Your one wild and precious life is a finite resource. How do you balance the rush to perform and achieve with rest, connection, and beauty? Don’t get stuck in a burnout loop by overcommitting to places that don’t value your humanity. The New Moon on Saturday can help you clarify, harmonize, and attune to what edges need to be pushed and what edges need to be softened. Take yourself out on a date to reconnect with yourself.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

As you’re beginning the autumn season, Sagittarius, you’re asking questions about faith, philosophy, learning, and exploration. There’s tension in the temple of your mind, pushing you to action. As you’ve explored what gives your life meaning, you’ve outgrown what you’ve known. You want to make moves to embody these new beliefs. This can bring up feelings of isolation or of being a square peg in a round hole. The New Moon on Saturday is a wonderful time to explore groups or organizations that represent your philosophical growth. Use this time to make new connections and reignite your dreams.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

It’s time for a career reset, Capricorn. Not one of those major “oh I’m quitting this job to do something completely different” types of resets – something smaller, and with more intention. How does your career, legacy, and public image connect to your dreams and ideals? Does your career fund your dreams or suck away your energy so you don’t pursue them? Be mindful of friends, mentors, and role models from your past coming back into your orbit. You may be able to find your inspiration again by reflecting on the journey you’ve taken to get this far.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Libra season tends to be your ideal travel season, Aquarius. The days get shorter, the wind shifts, and you’re suddenly longing to breathe the air of another place. If you can swing an impulsive getaway to somewhere you’ve never been, this is the time to do it! Your relationships, romantic and business, the people you’re in contact with often and have made commitments to, are feeling tense. The conflict lies between the commitments you make to other people and how you throw yourself into the deep end at work. The New Moon on Saturday could be a moment to set intentions and manifest the solution to balancing your need to go full send at work, while also satisfying the promises made to your beloveds.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Keep an eye on your health this week, Pisces! You’re running the risk of burnout, or even worse, the dreaded weekend cold. Do your best to slow down, nourish yourself, and take a break. When you take some time to tend to yourself, let yourself explore the stories that give you nourishment. How do those stories teach you about yourself? How can you bring sweeping myth to the legend of you? On Saturday, the New Moon highlights how interconnected you are to the world. Sometimes, that can be a beautiful moment of ancestral awareness. But it can also mean paying your taxes. Choose your adventure wisely.
