Your horoscope for the week ahead: Be smart with your schedule so you can maximize your downtime

The skies will be quieter than usual this week, with only a couple major astrological events taking place. Take advantage of this lull in cosmic activity to move at a slower pace and give yourself more time to react to the world around you. 

You may feel motivated to level up on Monday, when the emotion-ruling moon waxes into her first quarter in hard-working Capricorn. Just keep in mind that this lunation can sometimes highlight an imbalance between what we wish to achieve and what we’re actually able to accomplish. Be smart with your schedule so you can maximize your downtime under this influence. 

Then, pay attention to the types of conversations that you participate in when impulsive Mercury in social Libra squares grandiose Jupiter in moody Cancer on Wednesday. We tend to feel less guarded with our emotions during this aspect, and are more likely to let things slip no matter who’s around. Do your best to avoid spreading gossip or saying anything that you’ll later regret as these planets face off. 

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, September 29, 2025.

Aries

Have faith that all your hard work will pay off, Aries. The people around you have surely noticed your efforts and your dedication to your relationships, so this week, it’s important that you focus on communicating your own needs in return. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, sharing some of your domestic responsibilities with your loved ones can help protect you against burnout, and give you the opportunity to stop and smell the roses. Just be sure not to count on the assistance of your nearest and dearest before they’ve had a chance to actually say yes. 

Taurus

Are you having trouble finding your flow lately, Taurus? This week, consider that there may be a slight disconnect between how you’d like to be doing things and how you’re actually getting them done. Hang in there — putting your ideas into practice only requires focus and dedication, and you’ve got more than enough of both. Meanwhile, be wary of any money-making schemes that you come across mid-week, as you may be less likely to spot red flags than usual. Do your homework before you jump headfirst into a tantalizing new venture, and remind yourself that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. 

Gemini

What are your challenges really showing you, Gemini? If you feel like you’ve been hitting a bit of a creative wall lately, this week could be a brilliant time to take a step back and see the situation for what it truly is — a chance to overcome a self-limiting belief. Consider that our fears are often the only thing preventing us from achieving what we want, particularly when it comes to our passions, and that the secret to conquering them is usually simpler than we think: just keep trying. Now is a beautiful moment to nurture your talents and water them with self-love, instead of more criticism. 

Cancer

Have you been given yet another plate to juggle, Cancer? How you react to this new variable will be up to you. Here are your options: take on more work and avoid rocking the boat or guard your boundaries and have some tough conversations. As you mull things over, remember that if you let your innate urge to people-please take over, you could end up spreading yourself too thin. It’s crucial that you consider your own needs before attending to the demands of others — and avoid beating yourself up for not meeting expectations. Taking time to look inward can help you identify the choice that’ll allow you to truly thrive. 

Leo

Does it feel like you’re being pulled in multiple directions right now, Leo? A flurry of conversations could threaten to distract you from your goals at the beginning of the week, with people offering up a flood of unnecessary advice and input. Do your best to block out the noise and restructure your schedule to fit your priorities. While this could involve making some tough calls that sour others’ moods, and spending more time in solitude than you usually like, it’s sure to help you keep the promises that you’ve made to yourself — and stay motivated in the long run. 

Virgo

Have you been feeling tempted to break free as of late, Virgo? If so, the beginning of this week could be a brilliant time to make some changes to your day-to-day that take the people around you by surprise. Who knows? Your new attitude just might inspire them to loosen up as well. Then, around the middle of the week, you could find your mind turning toward your local community and considering how you can meaningfully contribute to it. Just try to avoid the impulse to make a grand gesture or overcommit to a cause that you haven’t thoroughly researched in advance.  

Libra

What are you really working toward, Libra? At the start of this week, domestic responsibilities could start to fill your plate, making your passion projects feel like distant memories. But don’t let these pressing duties totally eclipse them. Blocking off just an hour a day to indulge your interests could be greatly rewarding — and make your chores feel less draining too. Mid-week, you’ll be wise to avoid overpromising to others at work, as making a commitment you can’t keep could result in disaster. Protect your reputation by practising modesty when discussing your ambitions and intentions, and try to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground. 

Scorpio

It can be hard to stay centred when too much is going on around you, Scorpio. So if unexpected conversations, surprise projects and random requests begin popping up seemingly out of nowhere this week, don’t hesitate to seek out some quiet time on your own. Committing to solitude is sure to help you filter out distractions and redirect your nervous energy toward truly fulfilling activities. Mid-week, you’ll also be wise to watch your words, as your innate desire for freedom could easily be misinterpreted by others. Discussions surrounding your finances should be explored with a healthy dose of caution, too. 

Sagittarius

Don’t let a reality check throw you off course, Sagittarius. At the beginning of the week, you could have a realization about shifting values within your social circle that leaves you feeling a little unsettled. But common ground is within your reach if you’re willing to look for it — and if you can refrain from trying to impose your principles on others in the process. Then, watch out for inconvenient outbursts mid-week, as your inner weirdo could start to bristle against your public-facing persona. Be cautious about what you reveal at work in particular, and remember that a journal can be a great listener, too. 

Capricorn

Do you feel like you’re being misrepresented lately, Capricorn? People in your professional sphere may indeed be crafting narratives that don’t align with your own self-image — but keep in mind that your work and your heart are two completely separate parts of you. At the beginning of the week, challenge yourself to compartmentalize your private and public lives. Meanwhile, when it comes to your personal relationships, you may feel motivated to really think about how you can engage more authentically with others. You might even find that revamping your routines is a wonderful place to start. 

Aquarius

Buckle up, Aquarius. You could be in for a bumpy ride at the beginning of the week as you’re hit with a sudden wave of nostalgia. Mentally preparing yourself for a few detours down memory lane can help you navigate complicated emotions with grace and love — and manage your schedule accordingly. Then, mid-week, you could start to notice a disconnect forming between others’ big ideas and their practical application. As an outsider looking in, you’ll likely be able to spot wishful thinking with ease, so don’t hesitate to observe from the periphery and speak up when it makes sense.

Pisces

Finding your place can take some trial and error, Pisces. Keep that in mind if you’ve been finding it difficult to fit into a new group lately. The beginning of this week will be a great time to give yourself permission to make mistakes. It may also help to remind yourself that the people around you are still figuring themselves out, too. Meanwhile, if you feel compelled to share a big idea that you’ve been conceiving behind the scenes, consider that it may not be ready to be shared with the world yet. Challenge yourself to exercise patience so you can reveal your efforts when the timing is just right.
