Classes have begun at Ohio University, and so have many new friendships and experiences. The lunar eclipse in Pisces occurs this week causing things to unravel. Shedding off the summer will free you of bad habits like procrastinating a big paper, and will help you grow this semester. A hermit crab grows out of their shell to find a new one; it’s OK if your new one is too big. Mercury in Virgo will bring strategy to your shell shopping.
Aries
A rub on the back from your therapist will comfort you as healing begins for you this lunar eclipse, Aries. Make sure you don’t bring too many memories from last semester into this one. Old hookups and family issues may ruin your studies, so make sure all loose ends are tied up before syllabus week.
Taurus
This week should make you stand up and cheer, Taurus. Your hopes and dreams may arrive via landing that internship or chatting with a mentor. Be wary of getting stuck; your dreams are bigger than you think. People believe in you, Taurus; this week you have to believe in yourself.
Gemini
Gemini, you work so hard that this week you might feel stale toward your accomplishments. You’re here at another season; think about which direction to turn. Take a new route to work or class. Pulling back from ambition is not a setback, only a break from success.
Cancer
Emotions rule you this week, like always. With the lunar eclipse in your expansion zone, it might be time to assess what you think of others and what you think your dreams are. If memories occur, show some grace and forgive those who have wronged you. Growing from memories doesn't mean you have to stay bitter or sad. With Venus in Libra, your mind will desire harmony. Cancer, you are a bird they cannot chain.
Leo
Going to pay off a debt this week, Leo? This week is a great week to look at your savings and budget for the rest of the year. Don’t let money rule you; you’ll be able to handle it. Deep conversations about life with loved ones will bring extra security outside of money. Spending a lot during your birthday season is over. It’s time to redesign your spending habits.
Virgo
New season, new you, Virgo. This week could bring the end to a relationship or cycle. Tear up the script and rewrite it. You’ve survived the worst, and it’s only up from here. The sun is in your sign, and it’s time to shine. Use this week as a compass for where you turn next.
Libra
Libra, your calendar will change this week. A major setback or shift might occur, leaving you feeling surprisingly free. Don’t start getting sick at the thought of change. Reaching one end puts you in a new beginning and a new routine. Stick with it and call your doctor to make sure you’re healthy for the journey.
Scorpio
Scorpio, love will overpower you this week, but this has been going on since 2024. Anger and resentment from rejection leave you unable to forgive. Allow yourself to let go of a grudge so you can tap into your creativity and passions this week. The lunar eclipse will help you let go and direct your heart. Put your energy into a newborn creation.
Sagittarius
The lunar eclipse may actually have you plant roots, Sagittarius. Something didn’t feel right when you tried to plant them, but this week you might find something or someone that solidifies your domestic life. Healing will start this week, whether it's you, someone relying on you or both.
Capricorn
The summer let you down, Capricorn. Break free of that and actually talk to someone who gets you. Like-minded individuals will help you get rid of anxieties of unrealistic concerns. Just leap, open your mind and allow your move-in day travel to put you somewhere different forever. The Virgo sun will support you through any big change you want to make.
Aquarius
No worries about tuition this week, Aquarius. Your self-worth is more than your possessions and savings. Be attentive to your spending this week. The lunar eclipse will show you exactly where to put your focus. You are a fixed sign, which makes you stubborn as can be. This stubbornness may help you this week to stay on top of your goals. You know you, Aquarius; keep it that way.
Pisces
This lunar eclipse is big for you, Pisces, and it has been a transition since 2012. Do you feel weird now that Neptune is no longer in your sign? You must be a beautiful butterfly by now, Pisces. You’re ready to discover the newest version of yourself.
