After a tumultuous start to the month, things slow down and stabilize this week as the sun connects with steady Saturn on the 12th. It will be important to remember that feeling of confidence when on the 14th the sun squares off with hazy Neptune putting us back in a state of confusion. Things might feel amazing, and they also might feel overwhelming. (Think: Drew Barrymore—who was born with this aspect in her birth chart—in the rain). Sometimes it’s best to just let everything drift away. Mercury connects with innovative Uranus on the 17th leading to inspired thought and unexpected conversations. This influence gets us ready to make a vision board for 2023. Though not everything makes sense, it’s getting easier to think about the future.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)

Libra

(September 23 - October 21)

A sweet day of writing, creative projects or texting with your crush on the 12th has you feeling like yourself again. But by the 14th, you’re feeling overwhelmed by obligations, health issues or exhaustion.

Scorpio

(October 22 - November 21)

That living room furniture you ordered months ago finally arrives on the 12th, bringing a much needed sense of order and permanence to your home. By the 14th though, you’re already thinking of new ways to style the space. Maybe it’s OK that restlessness is the norm. Then on the 17th, an unexpected rendezvous with a friend of a friend gets flirty. Who cares if they’re not your usual type?

Sagittarius

(November 22 - December 21)

Much to your excitement, your BFF’s treat you to a fabulous and lowkey birthday dinner on the 12th. But by the 14th, your party enthusiasm is waning as you take on more and more holiday stress from your family. Remember to treat yourself—it’s still your season after all. On the 17th, you get a lot of value from switching up your routine. Even something as simple as walking home a different way does a lot of good.

(December 22 - January 19)

On the 12th, you get a brief, but much deserved break—a chance to switch your phone on Do Not disturb and actually embrace JOMO. Unfortunately by the 14th, you’re back to the grind with too many things to do and too little time to get it all done. On the 17th, you find relief and inspiration through singing, writing or other forms of artistic expression. Why not spend your holiday break crafting?

(January 20 - February 18)

Enjoy your weekend on the couch!

Pisces

(February 19 - March 20)

Though you get some solid recognition for all the hard work you’ve put in this year on the 12th, by the 14th, you’re already worried about “proving yourself” to everyone again. What if you’re enough just the way you are? An unexpected hang with both old and new friends on the 17th reminds you that life is about more than your accomplishments.

This week’s mantra: “Affirm.”
