“Astrology is your own personal compass to this thing called life,” Miles tells British Vogue and this week’s cosmic forecast sees it play out. With poetic pushes from Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology and age-old metaphors, and a Virgo solar eclipse shaking up the priorities, the stars are bringing us a potent combination of contemplation and rebirth. Astrology’s genius is in its power to combine myth, history, and individual experience into a guide for evolution. Whether the Mesopotamian ilu invites Libra to greater nurturing, or raga-inspired spontaneity summons Sagittarius to build with purpose, every sign is encouraged to seek out its own unfolding narrative.
This week’s horoscopes are not merely forecasts they’re offers to connect with your chart, your intuition, and your surroundings in a way that enhances self-understanding. Here are nine top themes from the cosmic waves to spark your odyssey.
1. Libra’s Guardian Spirit Awakens
Taking inspiration from the ancient Mesopotamian tradition, Libra is in a unique period when their individual god or ilu is very active. This energetic, guiding spirit is maturing, honing instincts and intuition. Sudden nudges, intense dreams, and instantaneous insight need to be listened to, for they are leading to more profound emotional and spiritual sustenance. The Virgo solar eclipse introduces another theme, urging withdrawal, spiritual practice, and mental health.
2. Scorpio’s Story Needs Repair
As Venice’s water-damaged books are laboriously restored page by page, Scorpio is summoned to restore a segment of their own history on the verge of erasure. There is an opportunity here to revisit old lessons, restate what happened, and breathe meaning back into a story that is significant. The eclipse can bring friendship changes, making room for new circles and more substantial support systems.
3. Sagittarius Creates with Flexible Structure
Spurred by the spontaneous beauty of a raga, Sagittarius is encouraged to establish a few non-negotiables in their professional or artistic work, then allow everything else to unfold with pleasure. The Virgo eclipse brings career changes or public accolades into focus, so this is the ideal time to couple lofty intention with lighthearted experimentation.
4. Capricorn Leaves Room for the Unknown
Medieval scribes left pages blank for future revelations Capricorn needs to do the same in life. Don’t try to control every step, and let unexpected gifts arise. The eclipse can change convictions or open doors in teaching, writing, or travel and broaden mental and spiritual horizons.
5. Aquarius at the Crossroads
In West African Vodún cosmology, Lêgba patrols the crossroads a liminal space. Aquarius might be translating unspoken realities or unlocking long-sealed doors. The Virgo eclipse turns attention inward, with emotional honesty and mental health epiphanies, and Libra season eases the tension with new learning or travel plans.
6. Pisces Sends Out a Golden Record
Just as Voyager, which belongs to NASA, had a golden record on board to be taken into space, Pisces is encouraged to create a message that captures who they are and what they want. The Virgo eclipse signals relationship changes enriching relationships or restructuring commitments and so it’s the perfect moment to send out signals that draw the appropriate connections.
7. Aries Turns Angst into Bravery
The Tibetan Tonglen meditation provides Aries with a template to convert suffering into compassion and energy. The week’s Virgo eclipse could initiate career shifts or health-regulated habits, while Libra season turns focus to intimate relationships and collaborative businesses.
8. Taurus Softens the Unyielding
Korean hanji paper, produced in a painstaking, centuries-old process, encourages Taurus to grind patiently with difficult materials whether emotional, artistic, or practical until they become permanent beauty. The eclipse energizes artistic endeavors and love life progress, while Libra season requires healthier daily routines.
9. Gemini Welcomes Home and Creativity
Gemini’s eclipse spotlight falls on home life moves, renovations, or family changes. Brezsny’s Sun Ra reference urges aligning personal flair with higher purpose, making this a time to fuse style with substance. Libra season offers a slower pace, perfect for creative hobbies or self-expression.
This week’s astrology combines poetic imagery with pragmatic transitions, reminding all signs that celestial happenings are as much mirrors as they are catalysts. Guided by a timeless ilu, a raga’s spontaneity, or the serendipitous skill of hanji, the message is evident: respect the patterns, accept the changes, and allow the stars to guide the next steps on your journey.
