September 8-14 Horoscope: Big Feelings, Clean Closets

If you spent the weekend feeling like you were emotionally wrung out by a ghost, you can thank Sunday’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. We’re kicking off this week in the cosmic splash zone of that event, which means the vibes are less “go-getter” and more “staring-at-the-wall-and-remembering-something-embarrassing-from-2009.” The universe is serving a quiet but potent brew of mental clarity mixed with a strong desire to purge. Think quiet epiphanies and taking out the emotional trash.

Still Soaking In The Feels

Let’s be real, that eclipse was a lot. Because it was a lunar eclipse conjunct the North Node (our collective destiny point), it felt like being pushed into the deep end of the pool while being told, “It’s for your own good!” The start of the week is for processing, not pretending. If you feel sensitive, scattered, or strangely nostalgic, you’re right on schedule. Don’t force yourself to have it all figured out. This is primo time for journaling, meditating, or simply allowing yourself to be a little bit weird and unproductive. The cosmos hit the reset button, and our systems are still booting back up.

Your Words Have A Little Extra Spice

By Friday, our brains start to catch up with our feelings. Mercury, the planet of communication, is in its happy place in Virgo, and it gets a supportive wink from both edgy Lilith in Scorpio and expansive Jupiter in Cancer. This is a golden opportunity to have a conversation that’s both deep and productive. You have a rare ability to articulate those tricky, taboo subjects (think: money, family secrets, relationship dynamics) with stunning precision and a dash of empathy. It’s your chance to say the hard thing without starting a fire.

A Divine Brain Dump

The intellectual energy peaks around 4 a.m. Pacific Time on Saturday when Mercury has its annual sit-down with the Sun, an event we call a cazimi. This is like getting a direct download from the universe. Since it’s happening in hyper-organized Virgo and super-close to the South Node (the astrological release valve), this moment of genius isn’t about a brilliant new beginning. It’s about a brilliant ending. This is the universe giving you a divine revelation about what belief, habit, or dusty old plan needs to be ceremoniously tossed in the bin before next week’s fresh start.

Aries Resist the urge to pick a new fight; instead, win an old one by simply letting it go.

Taurus That flash of insight about your finances requires you to open a spreadsheet, not a shopping app.

Gemini A sudden realization about your home life is a sign to declutter a junk drawer, not your entire family… yet.

Cancer Stop replaying old conversations in your head and dare to say what you actually mean in a new one.

Leo Your budget isn't a vague suggestion this week; treat it like a sacred text.

Virgo The brilliant idea you have is for you, so stop trying to organize everyone else with it.

Libra That secret you’ve been keeping? It might be time to whisper it to your journal and finally set it free.

Scorpio You have the power to say exactly what you mean, just be prepared to deal with the consequences.

Sagittarius A major work epiphany is coming, so for the love of everything, write it down before you forget it two minutes later.

Capricorn Your long-term plans are getting a celestial audit; toss out any goal that feels more like a chore than a calling.

Aquarius An epiphany about debts or shared resources isn’t a cue for panic, but for a seriously practical plan.

Pisces Your intuition is basically screaming the answers at you, so maybe stop asking for a second opinion and listen to the first one.
