Communications CEO Mercury makes welcome forward progress to spend the next couple of weeks in efficient, analytical Virgo, correcting the mistakes, repairing the misunderstandings and implementing the lessons of its recent retrograde. Here’s your weekly horoscope September 9-15, 2024.
Virgo, Aug 23 – Sep 22
Your ruling planet Mercury moving into Virgo, one of its home signs, mandates against doing absolutely everything yourself, so delegate or hire help. Review current strategies through a wide-angle lens. If something needs adjusting, stay open to considering varied perspectives: you needn’t necessarily act on them.
Libra, Sep 23 – Oct 22
Mercury’s making creative compromise the name of this week’s game: finding a formula that works for everyone concerned – and if that’s also aesthetically pleasing, even better. With Venus holding court in your sign there’s just one caution: your inner perfectionista. Send it on a little holiday.
Scorpio, Oct 23 – Nov 21
This week’s celestial suggestion is to pay it forward with appreciative treats to reward your staunch supporters for their loyal care and friendship. To resist giving advice unless requested. To ask yourself before speaking: Is it true? Necessary? Kind? To slow down and enjoy life’s small cameo moments.
Sagittarius, Nov 22 – Dec 21
While it’s great to have a well-purposed plan backed by facts and figures, it’s also easy to get overwhelmed with practical details, and without the passion, what’s the point? Let this week’s moon in your enterprising and wide-angled sign put that signature visionary spring back in your step.
Capricorn, Dec 22 – Jan 19
Despite the unsolicited opinions of instant experts, most people are genuinely trying to Get It Right. But if pressure peaks this week, Venus advises physical release: hitting the gym, walking in nature, mad dancing, whatever works – plus shuffling your schedule so there’s time to rest and recuperate.
Aquarius, Jan 20 – Feb 18
Communicator Mercury in its most careful and caring placement helps you ask the questions this week that direct interpersonal conversations towards mutually beneficial solutions. As always, resolution lies in dancing the fine line between what’s exciting and untried and what’s weathered the test of time.
Pisces, Feb 18 – Mar 20
Virgo season is a pleasantly grounding cycle for Pisceans to refill their inner reserve tanks. This transit can add logic and reasoning to your already awesome intuition, but as you know, to really hear this guidance you’ll need to screen out a whole lot of beeps, tweets, distractions and disruptions.
Aries, Mar 21 – Apr 19
This week’s Sun/Mercury alignment is terrifically auspicious for exfoliating your energy body. For shaking off any numbingly repetitive habit patterns. For getting stuck into the to-do list: addressing unread messages, streamlining operating systems, decluttering your wardrobe, starting that detox, prepping a leaner, cleaner menu.
Taurus, Apr 20 – May 20
Rituals are actions intentionally repeated for the purpose of moving us beyond the distractions and obligations of everyday life into a deeper presence. This week’s Taurus-friendly star chart supports finding creative new routines that make daily tasks more pleasurable and ordinary moments more important.
Gemini, May 21 – Jun 20
With your planet guide Mercury moving from expressive, opiniated but not entirely objective mode to its most alert, focused and detail-oriented transit, your train of thought becomes streamlined for maximum effectiveness. This week’s celestial mantra? Work out, eat clean and get yourself a healthy routine.
Cancer, Jun 21 – Jul 22
If celestial energetics unlock a Pandora’s box of fault-finding this week, what’s the upside? Making course corrections, lifestyle refinements and generally getting sorted before the seasonal rebalance of spring equinox. Rather than letting the critics work your nerves, treat them as the irritating grit that produces the pearl of wisdom.
Leo, Jul 23 – Aug 22
While Venus is at her most endearing in your personal zone of communication, lean into that big Lion charm and let others take care of the details so you can do what you do best this week. Thinking beyond self-interest to the bigger picture is your service to the wider community right now.
