If you think last week was bad, it was just the calm before the storm. In this weekly horoscope, energies are rapidly shifting, emotions are high, and patience is low. The only way to escape the eruption of drama coming your way is to plow through it — which means you’ll have to try extra hard to check your temper and manage your frustrations. Instead of arguing and asserting your point of view, try kindness. We can all certainly use more positive vibrations in our lives this week.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
You’re hopeful when it comes to love this week, Libra. It’s been a while since you’ve wanted to put the extra effort into your love life and now you’re finally stepping up. With the right attitude, things will start to change. You’ll become closer with your boo and take the relationship to the next level. As long as you’re clear and direct about what you want, leaving no emotions up for interpretation, then the sky’s the limit when it comes to your heart.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
Life is hard — how are we expected to keep up with everything, all the time? And everyone running you around in circles isn't making it easier. Before you have a mental implosion and emotional explosion, let’s try to tone things down. Organization is the key to avoiding unnecessary stress. Stop leaving a million Post-it Notes of reminders and to-do lists all over your room. Also try to disconnect from people who are giving you the runaround — focus, take a breath, and get the project done.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Real talk? You are so used to being gaslighted by people that lately, you’ve forgotten that it takes two to make a relationship work. In a moment of clarity during the healing process, you’ll discover that you’re not wholly at fault in any of your relationship dramas. Through mutual and cooperative understanding, you will come to see that others need to start taking accountability, too. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to compromise and mend fences with those close to you.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
The tension never seems to end for you these days, especially within your friendships. But here’s the reality: you keep hating and trying to compete with others, when you should be appreciating and applauding their successes. Don’t let jealousy get in the way of your most cherished relationships. Try to be less of a grouch and stop judging people for their major life decisions. Be more accepting and loving. You don’t attract bees with aggression, only honey. Let the situation cool off before going in for damage control.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Of course you adore your friends! However, a few members of your squad aren’t as kind as they seem — a lesson you’re learning the hard way by enduring their rude behavior. Rather than sending off a super emotional or harshly-worded text, distance yourself for a little bit. They’ll get the hint that you’re pulling back for a reason and put the pieces of the puzzle together. Sometimes, when a toxic relationship isn’t working, all you have to do is let it fizzle. Then once the smoke clears, drop them like they’re hot.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Being told what to do, how to do it, and who to do it with is never fun — control is a big deal breaker for most people in their relationships and friendships. These are red flags that are flying high in the sky for you this week. Repeat this phrase 3 times: “I’m overwhelmed by the demands placed upon me by others and I need a break.” Then, actually live by these words. You don’t have to succumb to the pressure — you can help those you want to, when you are able to.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
The time to manifest your dreams has arrived. Rather than setting your intentions on things that are far out of reach, try to keep your goals closer to reality. The moment you’re honest about your vision, the easier it is to attract it into reality. Remember, you don’t always have to achieve superstardom in all that you take on, because you’re already number one in your life. Setting smart, rounded goals will catapult you to even greater heights.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Come on, Taurus. Everyone knows you love a party, where have you been? Your presence has been missed by all, but the good news is that you’re making your reemergence into the social scene. This means embracing all of fall’s social activities — even simple ones like squad trips for pumpkin spice lattes. Open yourself up to new possibilities and re-explore your neighborhood. Not only will you be in good spirits, but you’ll make Instagram-worthy memories.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
You’ve been a prisoner of love for far too long. Now, you’ve reached a breaking point in your relationship. Before you pop off on your soon-to-be ex, consider taking the high road and ending the commitment on a good note. Having the last word always creates issues for you later on. With this different approach, you can reminisce, reflect, and ensure that your ex will miss your kind heart like crazy. Just try to keep your filter on when saying your goodbyes!
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
It feels like you’ve been living in a fishbowl lately. All the comments being posted on your social media are getting to you and making you feel anxious. It seems like everyone has a lot to say about your life, but no context or substance to their claims. Rather than just ignoring the haters, call them out! The best way to quiet the noise is to confront the chatter head-on. Being that you’ve repeatedly tried kindness, try something different. It’s time to turn up the heat.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
As usual, you’re looking for love in all the wrong places. Unfortunately, it’s back to the lion’s den this week to reflect on what went wrong during the soft launch of your new boo. We know you love to show off, but maybe try simmering down the lovey-dovey photos on social media to relieve any pressures you’re putting on your budding relationship. Odds are that you’ll need to take a few steps back and not be so eager in showcasing your person to the world. Give it some time, then try a relaunch!
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
There have been a lot of red flags you’ve ignored in your friendship circle, and now you’re facing real issues. Being at the beck and call of your bestie's needs without the same level of reciprocation is steadily crushing your heart. No one likes being taken for granted. Stop giving your time and energy to others so willingly — time to be a little selfish. Even though it’ll be hard for you not to be a people-pleaser 24/7, you’ll be empowered and come out the other side stronger, knowing that you are taking care of your needs.
