THE WEEKLY EDIT
Ever take a long look around you and wonder how, exactly, this became your life?
Just when you think people — and things — can’t possibly get any more complicated or ridiculous, you trip and find yourself tumbling down a cosmic wormhole.
Welcome to the week.
Expect the complicated to become more complicated. For the ridiculous to become performance art. At times, you may feel overwhelmed, as if everything is blurring together as it spins past you. You don’t know which way is up — or, frankly, whether there is an up.
It’s dark. It’s noisy. Everybody seems to be talking, and you can’t make out a damn thing anyone is saying.
The only thing you’re absolutely sure about?
You did not dress for this.
Come here. We’ll explain.
This wormhole? You didn’t plan to be here. But while you are, let’s make the best of it, darling.
It is actually the perfect place to declutter, because the last thing you need is unnecessary baggage coming back to smack you in the face. And this week, there’s plenty of it: everybody is long on opinions, short on facts and more than happy to spill their emotions all over your shoes.
Your challenge is hearing yourself think while everything else whips past your head.
🍸Yes, it’s Venus.
But here’s the part nobody tells you: Venus retrograde — where she’s been since last week — can’t be chalked up to a cosmic mood swing. Venus is moving between Earth and the Sun, drawing closer to us before disappearing into the Sun’s glare later this month. When she reappears, she’ll be the morning star.
Same Venus. Different entrance.
Fun fact: one spin of Venus takes roughly 5,832 Earth hours. Her year is a bit shorter than that. She also spins backward.
Probably while wearing heels.
And right now? She’s barely moving. Meanwhile, the rest of the sky is carrying on like somebody pulled the fire alarm.
Not even Leo’s charms can make Venus hurry up, and with Mars and Jupiter both in Leo, the charm offensive is considerable.
So use your inside-your-head voice this week. Dust. Clean. Polish. Delete. Donate.
Contact with the outside world should be kept to whatever minimum your life permits.
Because they won’t understand, darling.
And somehow, they’ll also make the damn day feel longer.
And one more thing: Mercury has already started traveling the stretch of road he’ll revisit when he turns retrograde later this month. So whatever gets said, decided or discovered now may very well come back for another edit in the weeks ahead.
We said it was complicated.
Cosmic Weather Report
Tuesday: The Moon meets Jupiter in Leo early, so everybody wakes up feeling generous, dramatic and approximately 20% more fabulous than the available evidence supports.
Then the Moon goes off-grid and stays that way for most of the day.
Translation: the volume stays up, but the signal gets weird.
In the evening, Mercury meets retrograde Venus in Scorpio, bringing love, money, wants and values into the chat. Reception is spotty, at best.
Wednesday: The Virgo Moon may inspire you to tackle that junk drawer, or your emotional equivalent. Use it. Because by midafternoon, the Moon goes dark again — and stays that way until Friday morning. That doesn’t mean nothing happens. Quite the opposite.
It means there may be plenty of motion, reaction and commotion without much satisfying forward progress. Finish things. Fix things. Don’t add three new things just because you’ve decided you know better than the cosmos. Ahem, five planets are retrograde, and Mercury is already playing fast and loose with comms. Do you really like those odds?
Thursday: The Moon gives everyone the silent treatment all day, Venus hasn't moved an inch, and time behaves like it's being billed by the hour. This is not the day to launch, pitch or announce. It is the perfect day to finish, organize, delete, donate and polish. Turn on the DND and keep your own counsel.
POWER MOVE
Own what’s yours, not theirs.
HOW THIS ENERGY HITS THE SIGNS
This Week's Energy + Your Sign = Magnetism Score
10 = Magnetic north. Doors open. People notice. Synchronicities abound.
8–9 = Strong attraction energy. Work with it, don't force it.
6–7 = Mixed signals. Stay aware. Don't chase.
4–5 = Course correction territory. The lesson is more valuable than the outcome.
1–3 = Stop pushing. The universe is trying to tell you something.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19 * Fire)
Patience isn't your thing, darling, and this week is nothing but waiting rooms. Rude, we know. Leo is cranking up your appetite for fun and romance while Saturn in your sign keeps sending your homework back with red ink. Don't storm out. Finish the assignment, settle any shared-money question you've been dodging, and then go play. The fun is better when nobody's chasing you to pay an emotional invoice. Magnetism: 6/10
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20 * Earth)
Oh, Taurus, so not your best week. It's as if your house is where a fire alarm is going off: family noise, repairs and the sudden need to knock down a wall at 11 p.m. Meanwhile, those around you seem to be broadcasting from another planet. Don't try to fix the connection. Head for the closet. Fix that broken shelf. You'll find more peace in that than in three tense conversations. Magnetism: 4/10
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20 * Air)
With Uranus in your sign, your brain is running at full speed while the rest of the world buffers, slowing you down. Keep the look of annoyance off your face, 'kay? The temptation will be to start six things. Yeah... no. Pick the one routine at work that's been driving you nuts and fix that. Just that. The other five ideas? Park them until Saturday. Trust us, darling. We have the notes. Magnetism: 6.5/10
CANCER (June 21 - July 22 * Water)
Leo is rummaging around in your wallet, whispering sweet nothings about retail therapy. The problem is, he puts up a really good argument. But your heart is doing the quiet, slow review it's been avoiding. That's not the type of thing retail can fix. Try making a list instead: what you'd gladly pay for and what you're actually paying for — with money, emotion and stress. Cancel one thing on the wrong list and instantly feel ten pounds lighter. Magnetism: 5/10
LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22 * Fire)
With Mars and Jupiter in your sign, you're the loudest, shiniest thing in the room. No matter where you go, everyone can see you now. Make one appearance and duck out quickly. Because this week the real work is backstage: home, family and relationships that have stalled. Do the unglamorous cleanup now. Rest assured, darling, your star power lingers long after you leave. Use this week to get your act together. Magnetism: 9/10
VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22 * Earth)
The commotion is happening in your head, Virg, which explains the 3 a.m. wake-ups. You need to relax a bit, is all. Tonight the Moon moves into your sign, and Thursday's silent treatment is basically a gift-wrapped day of sorting, labeling and deleting tailor-made for you. One caveat: watch your words. To others and especially to yourself. Mercury is in your conversation zone, so even a casual comment lands heavy. Magnetism: 6/10
LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22 * Air)
It's your birthday season, but we hope you're packing your sense of humor. Your ruling planet chose this moment to walk backward through your bank account. Rude. And your group chat is on fire, with everyone wanting your take. Don't give it. Much of what's being talked about — gossiped about? — is pure nonsense. Mute the thread, audit your spending and save your energy for Saturday's New Moon. You're worth the wait. Magnetism: 4/10
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21 * Water)
Mercury and Venus meet in your sign Tuesday night, so the conversation you've been rehearsing finally has a stage. Say it plainly and skip the footnotes. Not everybody is listening closely, and they just may miss the important part. This week, clear and concise goes a long way. Better to dive into work and let your competence shine. Save your time and your trademark honesty for people who've earned it. Magnetism: 8/10
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 * Fire)
Sag, your soul is telling you it’s overdue for a great adventure. The thing is that the universe wants you to sit in a quiet room with your own thoughts. Guess who wins this week. Keep a running list of where you want to go and what you want to learn, and don't book a thing. The planning is the point right now. Do it right. Future you will thank you. Magnetism: 4/10
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19 * Earth)
Somebody else's money is landing on your desk: the shared bill, the loan, the tax form or the "I'll pay you back." It's boring, and you're the only adult in the room who'll handle it properly. Do it. As for the friend who's gone strangely quiet, don't take the bait. It's the week, not you, Cap. And don't doubt that, even for a second. Magnetism: 5/10
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18 * Air)
The pressure feels heavy and slow, like a storm that won't break. That's Pluto in your sign getting ready to change direction on the night of the 15th. Hang on till then. Carry Excedrin just in case. Your partners and collaborators are loud and full of opinions, so let them talk. Your job is to listen — or at least appear to be — take notes and quietly decide whether this path is still the one you want. Magnetism: 5/10
PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20 * Water)
Your to-do list is running on Leo fuel, so you'll power through an embarrassing amount of real work. That'll leave the rest of the zodiac feeling envious, BTW. Be careful with money, though. Neptune, your ruling planet, is moving backward through your finances, so the numbers may look softer than they are. Double-check the math as your insurance policy against wormhole-inspired activity. Then, just let your mind drift somewhere far away. It's earned it. Hell, you've earned it. Magnetism: 6/10
