In partnership with
THE WEEKEND EDIT
The universe has no notes.
Now what the hell do we do?
Yes, it’s true: An unusually civilized sky greets our weekend.
Think of it as open road, Edit Insiders, with no adult supervision for miles to come. What will you do with all that Earthly freedom, courtesy of cosmic energy that favors free will and emotional range?
It knows not of politics. Or ill will. It simply exists in a place where the news cycle and social media feeds have no power.
Some may find this a rather boring energy to grapple with. But others? Oh, those of you who are fab at making the best of any situation? You’ll shine, darling.
For those of you finding yourselves void of ambition — we feel you — not to worry. You’re feeling the cosmos through and through and for once, almost no one in the solar system is handing you a problem. Spoiler alert: Mars does make an appearance.
For now, it’s nice to know you’ve got a partner — and an excuse — not to be particularly productive these next few days, isn’t it?
It is the weekend, after all, so hang up that guilty feeling about not tackling the to-do list.
🍸Unless it’s being deprived of oxygen or bleeding from a major artery, now is simply not the time to rush.
No guilt.
No pressure to perform.
Use this energy to roll gently around the planet. And use it now, before somebody decides to retrograde.
THE COSMIC WEATHER REPORT
Friday: Ah, the sky is in edit mode, thanks to Gemini, Virgo and the Moon saddling up to the bar. Calm, focused energy rules the day, giving you a healthy window to get your act together. That paperwork you’ve been shuffling around on your desk for the last year, pretending you’ll get to it? Today’s the day to dump it. The sky says so. Who are we to argue?
Saturday: The winds pick up a bit, but nothing to prevent you from paddleboarding through Saturday with ease. Cancer and Neptune get into the act, making everything feel softer around the edges. Lovely atmosphere for wandering about and minding your own business. Just don’t overanalyze what anyone else has to say today. Promise?
Sunday: Spicy and partly cloudy rules the day. Seems Mars decided to join our weekend. Combined with Cancer, you may feel the need to defend your turf. And the Moon? Well, it’s still in play, too. Which means your feelings may find weaponry within easy reach. Tread lightly, darling.
Monday: Partly cloudy emotions clear up, thanks to Leo making a guest appearance. This is playful energy, combined with a few glances in the mirror. You want to check yourself out? We get it. Here’s the thing: What you’ll find is imagination staring back at you. Use it.
POWER MOVE
Allow time to unfold. It will reveal what you can’t force. Or anticipate.
HOW THIS ENERGY HITS BY ELEMENT
FIRE SIGNS (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
The weekend starts suspiciously civilized, which may leave you wondering whether someone forgot to invite you to the action. Relax. Sunday brings just enough Mars-fueled drama to remind you who you are, while Monday hands Leo the microphone and lets your natural swagger back into the room. Try not to set anything important on fire before then.
Magnetism Move: Save the big entrance and your best outfit for Monday. Until then, use the quiet to decide where your energy will actually get you noticed — rather than simply exhausted.
EARTH SIGNS (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Friday is practically designed in a lab for you. Clear the desk. Finish the thing. Throw something away. Alphabetize the junk drawer if that’s what gets you through the day. After that, though, the sky would really appreciate it if you stopped trying to turn relaxation into another performance metric.
Magnetism Move: Handle what matters Friday, then quit while you’re ahead, Earthies. Being productive is attractive — you know it’s one of your best looks. Being incapable of sitting down? Not so much.
AIR SIGNS (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
You get first dibs on the weekend’s clean signal, thanks to Gemini helping Friday make actual sense. Enjoy it, as only you can. Because then the energy tilts. Saturday gets a little fuzzier around the edges and suddenly, you’re analyzing a text, a pause, a reaction or somebody’s choice of punctuation like you’ve been retained by the FBI. Stand down, darling. Breathe.
Magnetism Move: Mystery is allowed to remain unsolved until Monday. And, truth be told, Air plus mystery does wonders for your sex appeal quotient.
WATER SIGNS (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Welcome to the cosmic splash zone. You know exactly what to do. Cancer turns up the sensitivity and Neptune softens the edges, which makes your instincts quite excellent this weekend. It also ups your dreaminess factor in the eyes of those around you. Then Mars knocks on Sunday’s door, carrying enough emotional ammunition to make a minor dispute feel like a felony in disguise. It's your reaction that needs a bit of work and by that, we mean just let the thing float by, darling.
Magnetism Move: Trust what you feel, but, jeez, give it a minute before you act on it. Truth: The most magnetic person in the room is rarely the one declaring war over a wet towel.
