Weekly Horoscopes: August 31–September 6, 2026

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

This week brings a chance to discuss inspirational topics and engage with them in any way we can. The caveat is that arguments can arise thanks to the chaotic astrology on September 1. Try to stay centered, and if you're in the wrong, don't hesitate to reach out to those you’ve upset or wronged to apologize.

The astrological transits of the week are:

August 31: Expansive Jupiter in Leo aspects restrictive Saturn retrograde in  Aries. Finding a middle ground to evoke wisdom is challenging, but optimism will lead us there. Minor steps can bring big changes down the road.  

September 1: Actionary Mars in Cancer squares  Saturn retrograde in Aries, urging us to take the reins in matters. Watch out for controlling sentiments that lead to arguments. 

September 1: Communicative Mercury in Virgo links up with Mars in Cancer, telling us not only to talk the talk, but to walk the walk. 

September 4: The Last Quarter Moon in Gemini ends the eclipse season, pushing us to focus on how we can elevate our lives and grow as individuals.

Read your weekly horoscope:

Aries

Making self-improvements will get you a lot further than thinking about how others fall short of your expectations. Take a moment to understand your feelings before reacting. To make the most of this, improve matters at home to create more peaceful energy with family members and loved ones.

Taurus 

If you play the game and gamble it all, you’ll win big. Now is not the time to hold your cards close to your heart. Taking a stand to get what you want requires taking a risk. Taking a leap of faith allows you to start looking for other opportunities.

Gemini 

Take a space, or a deep breath, or whatever else you have to do to avoid biting off someone’s head. At the very least, you’re bound to feel a bit moody and emotional, and if that’s the case, maybe it’s best to catch up on your favorite podcasts at home. 

Cancer 

This is an ideal time to evaluate how you want to transform and make conscious efforts toward achieving your objectives. This could mean being accountable with others, practicing self-care, or reorganizing your home. Taking better care of yourself is advisable to ensure you are on the right path to move forward.

Leo

The only thing that weighs on your shoulders is that you’re not being paid the amount of cash that you think you deserve. As long as you stand your ground at work and aren’t willing to compromise, you will earn the paycheck you deserve. Be willing to negotiate and compromise.

Virgo 

You're mentally on point in all areas of life, so if there was ever a time to communicate something difficult to say, now is the time. Your stellar judgment will help you determine the right timing and wording. You’re motivated and sincere, and may even push yourself extra hard in your routines. 

Libra 

The joy that emanates from you is bound to make you more influential not only to those around you, but also to what you are attracting into your life, given your high vibration. You’re never one to shy away from a juicy conversation, but you find yourself more prone to attaining balance. 

Scorpio

Your creativity is immense, so if you’re an artist, make sure to carve out some time for passion — you will be very proud of anything you design because it speaks to your spirit. Socially, this is also favorable, and the more effort you put into hosting others, the more you secure your status.

Sagittarius 

You’ll be problem-solving a lot, identifying where things can be improved, and implementing practical solutions. It is also a great time to negotiate what you want using your unique natural charm and diplomatic skills. Review how you can streamline your process and pay attention to how efficient you are. 

Capricorn 

It's likely a challenge not to fly off the handle and take out frustrations on others. As a result,  the desire to waste money and overindulge is also very possible, so say your mantras and do as much meditation as it takes to keep yourself centered and grounded before getting activated. 

Aquarius 

Everything feels somewhat precious right now, and you want to soak up the memories you make with those you care about. Because you are cheerful and open-minded, this is also an opportune week to meet new friends with whom you may be magically and energetically aligned. 

Pisces 

Your optimism is relentless, and you have a strong desire to give back. This is a wonderful time to spend time with your squad, meet new people, or go on dates. The group chat is likely to blow up, and communication is flowing freely. Get ready to mingle!

August 9: Mercury moves into Leo, pushing us to be fierce and direct in our communication.

August 10: Venus in Libra connects with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, creating power struggles in relationships.

August 10: Venus and Neptune retrograde in Aries are in aspect, making us suspicious of each other's intentions.

August 10: Mars in Gemini and the Nodes of Destiny harmonize, activating our stamina.

August 11: Venus and Uranus in Gemini urge to individuate from the pack.

August 11: Mars swings into Cancer, bringing emotional reactions to situations.

August 12: Mercury and Uranus offer us a new opportunity to explore our desires.

August 13: Mercury and Venus help us gain confidence and self-esteem.

August 15: Mercury and Jupiter form a conjunction in Leo, evolving our views and ideology.

Aries

Use the week to focus on your artistic side; at the beginning of the week, the planets activate the sector of your chart that rules creative expression. If any passion projects have fallen to the wayside recently, now would be the time to reorganize your tasks so you can bring your vision into the material realms.

Taurus

The solar eclipse offers a time to elevate your status or public standing, or to secure a stellar role at work; the sky’s the limit when it comes to professional matters and attaining career dreams. However, you’ll have a lot of uncertainty as to whether or not you want to attain your professional desires in the long run.

Gemini

Avoid the temptation to return to toxic situations, as the comfort you feel will be fleeting and can ultimately get in the way of your next great love. It's the perfect week for you to find romantic clarity. This planetary placement is perfect for starting conversations and making new connections.

Cancer

This energy will give you the motivation to charm others to get your way. As long as you don’t have super high expectations on this matter, you can be happy with the amount of money you actually receive. All in all, you will have a lot of highs. There are some chaotic moments, but the cosmos will help you elevate yourself.

Leo

This week, your relationships may undergo a transformative phase as you delve into your own feelings and desires. You are expressing your emotions openly and honestly. This will foster understanding and connection with others. If you are uncommitted, you will be attracted to people who stimulate your curiosities and mind.

Virgo

Be wary of power struggles or jealousy this week. Communication clears up after the eclipse. This will help you navigate changes that could arise. You will be drawn to individuals who are as mysterious and intense as you are. The affiliation strengthens your bond and profound intimate connections.

Libra

You will be irritated by a colleague or acquaintance who is saying unsavory things behind your back. You do not have to play the game and be a part of this if you don’t want to. In fact, it may be best for you to hold your tongue until the eclipse is over to avoid any blame or negativity emerging in your world.

Scorpio

Prioritize your financial and career ambitions rather than expanding your social network. This week will not be the best moment for making personal gains or investing in anything and anyone but yourself. Still, it can definitely lay the foundations for friendships and relationships down the road.

Sagittarius

It’s a time for introspection and a sense of completion that is almost exclusively peaceful. You may think of some things you wanted to accomplish and haven’t yet, but you’ll likely see more acceptance for not meeting those goals than self-judgment. Draft them out before making moves and taking steps toward cultivating them.

Capricorn

Set boundaries with others and try not to soak up everything in your environment like you are prone to do. You are sure to be hyper-aware of the layers of what people aren’t saying out loud during this time to the extent that it might even feel like you’re spying on the people you’re keeping company with.

Aquarius

“Are you ready for love?” Don’t go full steam ahead with your plans until you know you can craft and create the best version of your romantic dream. If you have faith in yourself and trust the process, you can bring such sentiments to fruition after the eclipse, ensuring you have the backing of the stars and planets.

Pisces

This week you may find yourself swept up in the currents of emotional connection. This will be an exciting and fun time for you, as you can deepen your bond with your current partner or ignite sparks with someone new. Your charm and sensitivity are amplified, drawing others like moths to a flame.

Weekly Horoscope March 23–29, 2026: Astrology Forecasts for Every Sign

This week's astrology is asking us to stay in our lane and protect our energy. Here's what contributing astrologer Lisa Stardust sees in the week ahead for every sign.

The week ahead will be troublesome and aggravating if we act aggressively. If we choose to focus on the positives, we will not react to other people’s problems that they’re trauma dumping on us. Focus on yourself and creating the experiences you want versus negativity. Everyone wants to be the boss and tell others what to do, when they should be using that energy to augment their own lives and situations.

key astrological transits of the week:

• March 23: Mercury forms an alliance to the North Node of Destiny in Pisces, making the contacts we meet vital to our future and information we receive juicy. 

• March 25: The Sun forms a conjunction to Saturn  in Aries, urging us to be more dutiful and responsible. This is our opportunity to adult—pay bills, make appointments, and carry out errands. No slacking!

• March 25: The Sun in Aries links up with Pluto in Aquarius, heightening our determination and power. This is a day to take charge and embrace our fabulousness.

• March 28: Austere Saturn in Aries connects with revolutionary Pluto in Aquarius, starting disagreements that could be transformational in the end, but dramatic when they occur. Stay in your lane and don’t meddle in the affairs of others to avoid conflict.

Aries 

The week is pushing you to seek more affection and attention than usual. Apply restraint if possible, but it’s also okay to treat yourself. You may find that your current relationships lack what you need to feel sustained this week. Don’t be afraid to question whether they're enough for you. 

Taurus 

People find you appealing, and it will be very difficult for anyone to say no to you. This is an amazing week to ask for a favor or advice. However, don’t let your competitive urges get the better of you, because your desire to win might upset the peaceful dynamic. 

Gemini 

Your dreams will have an aspect of insight, so pay attention, and if you can remember anything from it, write it down before you forget any important details. You will likely find that you are having even more psychic connections than ever. Listen to what the universe is telling you.

Cancer 

This week opens you up to potential sensitivities from how others communicate with you. Take some time to sit and think about how you feel—it’ll come with an urge to be spontaneous, but not in the fun, playful way, so try to control those urges. Do not lose your temper.

Leo

Review your accomplishments to assess your current path. Where to go next should be very clear, so if you’ve been waiting for a sign, keep your eyes wide open throughout the week. You will probably want to discuss your ideas about this over time as well, to organize your thoughts.

Virgo 

You most likely will have the confidence and drive to accomplish something you may have been putting off for a while. Inspiration strikes, motivating you to move forward with a creative vision. Don’t shy away from being assertive right now, say exactly what you want or need, and be concise.

Libra

Your mood is up and down, seemingly out of nowhere, You’re oversensitive, so take it easy on yourself if you can. Relaxing in meditation will help stabilize this sensitivity that snuck up on you today. Watch a movie that makes you cry if you need to let it all out. 

Scorpio 

The week ahead brings a positive change in luck to your interpersonal relationships and scope of your career. Expect to get what you deserve. Don’t forget to be in the attitude of gratitude. Opportunities will keep coming your way. The biggest flex is owning your actions and embracing your power.

Sagittarius 

Implementing boundaries and time for yourself will allow your creativity to flow. However, it’s vital to shake off hurt from the past. This will help you squash any issues that have been weighing you down recently. However, you’ll have clarity after a few disagreements over how to live your life.

Capricorn 

Slow down! It's not a race to the finish line! There is an interplay between power and authority that doesn't seem to let up, which keeps you stuck in a moment. Bosses and colleagues might even try moves that are frustrating and difficult. Personal relationships are going to reach compromise. 

Aquarius

Before making any big choices, make sure you run them by someone who is emotionally detached to the situation. They’ll have a clearer view of things than you can have for the time being, so you also need to trust what they have to say, regardless of whether you agree.

Pisces 

Do your best not to overindulge in all the awesome, delicious gifts in store, even though the cosmos are giving you an appetite and hunger to live life to the fullest. You will find yourself desiring the highest quality goods this week to satiate those desires for the extreme opulence.

Weekly Astrology Forecast & Horoscopes: December 29, 2025 – January 4, 2026

This week is about alignment and emotional truth. There’s movement forward, but it’s not rushed. The astrology asks for maturity, discernment, and real accountability, especially in relationships and communication.

Major aspects of the week:

December 29 — Mars in Capricorn + True Node in Pisces

Momentum meets destiny. Mars in Capricorn pushes us to act with purpose, while the True Node brings people and situations that reflect where you’re actually headed—not where you’ve been. Pay attention to who shows up now. This is about being met at your level.

December 30 — Mercury in Sagittarius aspects Saturn in Pisces

Speak less. Mean more. Conversations benefit from restraint and clarity. This isn’t the week for over-explaining or emotional dumping. Say what matters. Let the rest fall away.

January 1 — Sun in Capricorn, conjunct the True Node in Pisces

A reset point. This aspect asks you to step into integrity with your path. Choices made now carry weight. Ask yourself where you’re being called to grow up, commit, or course-correct.

January 1 — Mercury square Neptune (Sagittarius–Pisces)

Mixed signals and emotional static. Miscommunication is likely if you assume instead of asking. Double-check information. Don’t make big emotional decisions in the fog.

January 1 — Mercury enters Capricorn

Relief. Communication sharpens. Boundaries become clearer. This transit favors honesty, structure, and saying things plainly without drama.

January 2 — Venus in Capricorn is conjunct the True Node

Relationship clarity. This can bring fated meetings, defining moments, or quiet realizations about who you want to build with. Commitment—romantic or otherwise—becomes a real question.

January 3 — Full Moon in Cancer

Emotional release. This lunation brings memory, grief, softness, and healing to the surface. It’s a karmic moment to let go of what you’ve outgrown emotionally—especially patterns tied to family, safety, and attachment.

Aries

Your cardinal go-getting ways are a little more subdued for the first half of this week, as you are feeling more pensive than usual. Your business prospects are taking a more independent approach, allowing you to delve inward on an emotional level. Try to find a balance to help.

Taurus

Ensure that you are following your goals and taking a step-by-step approach to achieve them. It's not about how quickly you are getting things done right now at all. Instead, it's a great time to step back and opt to dig into the creative process to attain success.

Gemini

It’s not that working with others is something that you’re opposed to, but you are light-years ahead of their progress, and want to keep your work flowing. Perhaps they can implement new endeavors and complete many of the tasks that are pending, which will make you confident in laboring together.

Cancer

Being honorable to your personal needs is the absolute priority at this time. Look at your dreams and make them happen with an open heart and mind. You will have several months of inspiration ahead. Still, the present gives you a strong sense of direction and proper steps to follow.

Leo

The passion in your chart is brewing and percolating. The energy that gives you a new perspective and outlook on the approach you should take is heightened. The plans you set in motion will have longevity, since the cisnis are lending a grounding verve to create long-term objectives with.

Virgo

You need to heed caution and keep it moving! Trusting your instincts is the name of the game, and if there is any sign meant to divert from the beaten path, that is most definitely you. Now, it's time to let these major decisions transpire and take on another journey.

Libra

Fortunately, you’ll find that the world is your financial oyster (so to speak). New opportunities are coming your way without a hitch, allowing you to gain speed and conquest in the business and economic sphere of your life. This gives you the chance to give light and love to abundance.

Scorpio

Starting your own business proves to be beneficial, as you will make money — so much so that you will want to keep this going as a side hustle. The caveat is not to be super boastful, as your colleagues at your 9-to-5 may be jealous of your win.

Sagittarius

This is a pivotal time to create a new financial plan and model that will help you achieve monetary triumphs in the future. This cosmic energy is going to inspire and motivate you to take a leap of faith and invest in ideas that you fully believe in, without hesitation.

Capricorn

Now isn’t the time to wear your cards close to your heart when negotiating contracts. Taking a stand to get what you want requires taking a risk and asking for what you deserve. Don’t let your nature push you into a professional situation that you are unsure about without thinking it through.

Aquarius

You are experiencing a few emotional meltdowns and burnout at the moment. This will make you more argumentative when things don’t go your way all of the time. You may also start to argue with the people who don’t have your back, forcing you to only align with loyal friends.

Pisces

The reason for the growth period you're undergoing is due to a simultaneous planetary awakening happening for you and the world, which might influence you towards a completely different career track than you would have ever considered for yourself in the past. Focus on how you can revolutionize your dreams.

Witch-tips & Horoscopes 10/14-20

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The Libra Sun squares Mars in Cancer on October 14th, pushing us to express our desires and needs. The same day, Venus in Scorpio opposes Uranus retrograde in Taurus, forcing us to leave restrictive situations and relationships. Venus harmonizes with Neptune retrograde Pisces on October 15, resolving issues from the previous day. The Full Moon in Aries on October 17th heightens our passions — especially with Venus aspecting Pluto in Capricorn. Several hours later, Venus enters Sagittarius, bringing fun and excitement to partnerships.

Witch-tip:

There is a lot of tense energy in the cosmos this week, which is why it's ideal to take a healing and meditative bath to decompress. Rosemary and ylang ylang (flowers or oil) are great ingredients to add to relieve tensions. Mix with Epsom salt in a warm bath to detox and uplift the body, mind, and spirit.
