Your Weekly Horoscopes by Madame Clairevoyant: September 28–October 4
After the chaos of eclipse season, this week offers a bit of calm. On Monday, a quarter moon in Capricorn could create a bit of tension in your relationships — but if you can talk things over without losing your cool, you’ll be stronger on the other side. For the rest of the week, the waxing moon moves through Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. It’s a good time to start making progress again on any projects that have stalled lately — or to begin making moves toward fresh goals.
Aries Weekly Horoscope
When you expect to make uninterrupted, linear progress, you’ll inevitably be disappointed. Even if you manage to push steadily forward for some time, you’ll eventually reach a point where you need a break, or you’ll take a wrong turn and have to wait to get your bearings again. This week, don’t be too hard on yourself if it feels like you’re moving in the wrong direction. You’re still making progress, it might just not be as straightforward as you’d like.
Taurus Weekly Horoscope
Though you try not to let yourself be easily goaded by others, your reactivity occasionally gets the better of you. If somebody tries to push you in one direction, you’ll reflexively dig in your heels; if they tell you you can’t do something, you’ll make it your mission to prove them wrong. But sometimes, all that effort could be better spent on other things. This week, try to be more intentional about how you spend your time; don’t let other people dictate your next move.
Gemini Weekly Horoscope
The bigger and more ambitious your goals are, the more tempting it can be to downplay them. Acting unbothered, like you don’t really care what happens, feels less vulnerable than letting others see how badly you desire something. But this week, being evasive about your dreams will only make it harder to make them a reality. Try to be honest — with others and yourself — about what you want most. It can feel scary in the moment, but ultimately, it’ll be freeing.
Cancer Weekly Horoscope
When you’re facing big decisions — and sometimes even when you’re facing minor ones — it can be tempting to let fear take the lead. You make it a priority to think carefully about all the potential risks, and plan for how to avoid as many of them as possible. But this week, remember that the safest choice isn’t always the best one. That doesn’t mean you should be completely careless, only that some risks are worth taking.
Leo Weekly Horoscope
It can be tempting to deal with insecurities by overcorrecting, leaning hard into a bold self-assurance that verges on arrogance. Even if you don’t really feel confident, you can at least put on a convincing show. But this week, this strategy is unlikely to serve you well. It’s better to admit, even if only to yourself, when you’re feeling small or scared or unsure of yourself. Nobody will think less of you for having your moments of doubt, and being honest about it is the first step to getting over it.
Virgo Weekly Horoscope
You know that others’ opinions of you aren’t the most important thing in the world — but you’ve also experienced the ways that being well-liked can make your life easier. The more people like you, the more inclined they are to do you small favors, to sympathize with you, to simply be nice. This week, just remember that you don’t have to be a pushover to be liked; sometimes, the best way to gain others’ regard is to stand up for yourself.
Libra Weekly Horoscope
This week, it could be easy to catastrophize as you imagine all of the things that could go wrong. You might convince yourself that everything bad in your life will only get worse, or on the contrary, that everything good in your life won’t last. But try not to get too far ahead of yourself. As smart as you are, you still can’t predict the future with complete accuracy. For now, at least, you’re better off taking things one step at a time, dealing with the problems in front of you, not the imaginary ones.
Scorpio Weekly Horoscope
You’re a good listener, curious about the people around you and interested in learning about how they think and what makes them tick. This makes you good at asking interesting, meaningful questions about others — but you’re probably less comfortable answering questions about yourself. But this week, make an effort not to be secretive or withholding. It can feel unfair to others when they open up and don’t hear much from you in return; sharing a bit more will lead to better conversations and deeper connections.
Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope
Sometimes, you feel so bombarded by messages about how a person is “supposed to” live, or what is and isn’t reasonable to strive for, that it gets hard to figure out what kind of life you actually want. So this week, give yourself to disregard what anyone else has to say — not forever, just for the moment. If you can stop worrying about what other people are doing, or about what seems normal, it’ll get easier to remember what’s important to you — and you can move forward from there.
Capricorn Weekly Horoscope
Your emotions might be all over the place this week. You’re feeling a lot, but you can’t figure out where these big feelings are coming from, or what you’re supposed to do about them. It’s stressful to try to analyze your emotions rationally, only to end up confused — so you might be better off if you stopped forcing yourself to be so logical. It’s okay not to know why you feel the way you do. You can figure that out later — for now, just let yourself feel it all; sometimes, that’s challenging enough.
Aquarius Weekly Horoscope
Sometimes, the things that seem to come easily to everyone else feel virtually impossible for you. There are days when simply going out in the world and taking care of everyday tasks can feel like an insurmountable challenge, and you wish that your friends could see just how hard you’re working. This week, even if nobody else seems to recognize your efforts, the least you can do is give yourself the credit you’re due. Treat yourself gently.
Pisces Weekly Horoscope
Some people seem to want to ignore their own feelings, dealing only in facts and logic — but you understand that emotion and intuition matters too. But even you can get exhausted by feelings that are too intense or too confusing; sometimes, the best thing you can do is simply let them be. At a certain point, it becomes unhelpful to keep picking at and processing your emotions; for now, give yourself permission to move on from them and deal with it all later.
