Let’s have a sigh of relief and joy! With this weekly horoscope, Mercury leaves its post-retroshade shadow on September 11, ending the miscommunications that began in July, when Mercury first entered its pre-retrograde zone. Now is the time to clear up the messiness we’ve been experiencing by understanding situations and relationships better. Use this time wisely because next week, the eclipses begin on September 17, bringing a whirlwind of drama our way.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
You know that you're not the center of the universe, but somehow, you've found all your friends in orbit of you this week. When this happens, you can’t help yourself from smiling ear to ear. This week is your moment to be front and center, allowing you to sparkle, glimmer, and enjoy the limelight. Even though you might be uncomfortable at first, since you are more of a humble individual than a showy braggart, it’ll feel good knowing you’re being celebrated and admired. You’re being shown the appreciation and respect that you deserve. Soak it up and let yourself thrive in knowing how amazing you are.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
It may appear that you’re slacking, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. You take school seriously and apply yourself constantly. However, all the late nights playing “Minecraft” and plotting how you can score Sabrina Carpenter concert tickets with friends are beginning to have an effect on you. The answer is simple: make sure you’re getting enough rest and giving yourself TLC. You’re the one who is suffering, so create a schedule that works and you can stick with to ensure this isn’t a consistent issue. Remedy the situation before it becomes a problem for your GPA and teachers.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
You keep your cards close to your chest more often than not to safeguard your heart. The problem with being guarded 24/7 is that you don't share secrets or problems with others because you’re suspicious of their intentions. Open yourself up to share your innermost sentiments with a select few that you trust. You might find it freeing to let your emotions out and be heard and seen. You can start by sharing tea about what is currently happening in your life. The odds are that they will just listen, which is what you desire and need.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Conflict is arising with your besties. They're not too fond of your new crush, causing tension in the friendships to come to a head. The main reason your pals are on the fence about your boo is that they feel you're not being treated well and that your S.O. isn't at your level. The protective vibe is sweet, but you might not see it that way. Allow your squad to explain how they feel before defending the 'ship. What they say could be eye-opening since your head and heart are lost in the clouds, and you can't see matters clearly.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
You want to elevate your image with the new school year in full gear. This could result in you doing something drastic, like dying your hair blue or pink. You might even want to change up your fits. Don't let your crew influence your choices when deciding how you want to alter your look. Do it for you, not to fit in with the crowd and their whims. Being yourself is essential because then you can heighten your confidence and self-love. Valuing yourself will ensure others are doing the same to you. Aim to be a wolf among sea-goats.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Being a social butterfly is lit but can be draining. Having to put on the razzle-dazzle and interact with different vibes when hanging out with people makes you want to spend more time away from the scene. After all, a high-key life can get to a person in time. Don’t feel bad for needing a break to center and balance your energy. Focus on doing self-care activities that allow you to restore and rejuvenate your strength. By week’s end, you'll be ready to hit the ground again, running towards the next gathering amongst your peers. Relish the festivities in moderation.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
A random salty text from a frenemy looking to stir the pot frustrates your chill demeanor. They want to create drama where there is none and play victim to the response you give them. You don't need people like this in your orb. You're far too kind and tender to even engage in this situation. Even though they should check their attitude, it isn't worth a fight. Don't waste energy or worry about it. This isn't about you. It’s them projecting their insecurities and issues onto you — which isn't fair. The biggest flex is to leave them on read.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
It can be hard for someone as self-assured as you to not be the main character in group dynamics. Rest assured, learning to be a cooperative and collaborative part of the group is giving more power and authority. It’s because you're showing your friends a new and improved side of yourself. Even though you're taking a step back from being the leader of the pack, you are still influencing decisions and speaking your mind — but you’re not nitpicking and taking a hands off approach to matters. You can be as messy as you wish as long as there are no receipts.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
JSYK, it’s easier to forgive than to forget. You should not rush into your feelings and change opinions on matters. If a friend has been constantly and consecutively letting you down, then it's time for you to put them on ice for the time being and surround yourself with people who are always there for you. The more you toss and turn at night over the road you wish to go down, the less sleep you'll have, which will induce stress.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
There is no place like home, so tap your heels three times and envision yourself surrounded by fam. Right now, you want to be comforted and given attention from your parents, siblings, and cousins. You miss their cooking, generosity, and love. TBH, nothing is wrong with needing extra support from your brood. You might even find that a friend can offer you a similar level of kindness, making you feel less homesick and able to create a positive environment for yourself in new settings. Do not take this moment and people’s goodwill for granted.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
You're at the head of the class but have a nagging feeling a peer will soon dethrone your position. Instead of taking on the pressures of crushing every exam, try your best. All you can do in life is give your all, and even if you don't meet your goals, you can move away from the situation happily. You may not reign as one of the top students at school. However, you might have to learn to share the title and be ok with that. Maybe it’ll be less intense sharing the title. There is room for everyone to prosper.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
Stories are in the process of unfolding, and you’ll reach the climax by the weekend, giving you time to wrap your head around recent developments. A plot twist might occur, allowing you to understand a situation differently. Although it'll be challenging for you to switch mindsets (due to your stubbornness), eventually, you will see the light and gain clarity. However, the emotional journey to this epiphany is long and winding because you're unwilling to admit you were wrong and unable to accept the reality about others. Remember that life is full of surprises and unexpected moments. Go with the flow.
